CHAPTER 342: CHAPTER 290: SUPER BARGAIN, PRAYER STAR STONE!_2
Let’s just try it out! If I’m wrong, I don’t lose anything.
"Sure."
Luo Jiangyue nodded, entered the password to unlock the protective shield, then handed the Prayer Star Stone to Chen Mo.
"Wuu~"
Xiao Jiu’s paw touched the Prayer Star Stone, and immediately, a milky-white glow burst forth from its body as wishing power surged crazily into the stone.
"It really reacted!"
Seeing the Prayer Star Stone welcoming the wishing power without resistance, Chen Mo felt that his guess was correct.
After channeling nearly half of the Crystal Core’s wishing power into the stone, the long-dormant stone surface suddenly erupted with beautiful, colorful lights. Then, a strange energy abruptly surged towards Xiao Jiu.
The next second, Xiao Jiu felt its perspective soaring upwards, until it seemed to arrive at a vast expanse of starscape.
And next to it, countless stars shimmered.
Some were dazzling, while others were relatively dim.
Xiao Jiu observed closely and realized there were invisible Prayer Lines connecting these stars to itself.
Suddenly, a strand of golden light appeared on one of the Prayer Lines, and a golden energy was slowly traveling through the "Prayer Line" towards it, finally entering its body.
Xiao Jiu felt the energy, and realized the power surging toward it... was indeed wishing power!
Does that mean—every one of these "stars" represents a "working fox"?
Right after, Xiao Jiu discovered that its consciousness seemed to be able to attach to these Prayer Lines.
Driven by curiosity, Xiao Jiu quickly began to try.
With the wishing power attached, the Wish-making White Fox suddenly saw this scene before its eyes:
In an alley of the city, a mother and her child were bending over to express their thanks to a white-furred Silver Snow Fox.
And in the little girl’s arms was a dirty little orange cat, held tightly, looking almost suffocated.
A certain joy of having something lost then found twinkled on the girl’s face.
Clearly, the girl’s cat had gone missing, then they encountered a Silver Snow Fox that sought to evolve through the Wish-making White Fox route. With the help of the Silver Snow Fox and its Spirit Master, the girl recovered her orange cat.
And after the Silver Snow Fox helped the girl fulfill her wish, a tenuous Prayer Line suddenly formed between them.
A bit of golden wishing power traveled along the Prayer Line towards the Silver Snow Fox.
But when this strand of wishing power was "halfway" there, it split in two, and a portion of it directly entered Xiao Jiu’s body.
"Wuu!"
Xiao Jiu was surprised to find that there was also a "Prayer Line" connecting it to the girl.
This Prayer Line was extremely thin, even thinner than a spider’s silk, but after the Silver Snow Fox realized the girl’s wish, the line thickened somewhat.
"Wuu~"
An epiphany twinkled in Xiao Jiu’s eyes—it turned out this was how the "working foxes" transferred wishing power to it!
The scene ended there, and Xiao Jiu’s consciousness returned to that vast "cosmos."
The scene it witnessed after the attachment of wishing power clarified for Xiao Jiu the origin and flow of wishing power.
Besides that, it discovered it could communicate with the Silver Snow Fox through the Prayer Line.
But since there was nothing significant about the previous scene, Xiao Jiu didn’t use this ability.
"Wuu?"
Looking around at the sparkling stars and the dense web-like Prayer Lines, the Wish-making White Fox was deeply moved.
Among these stars, those that were brighter were the Spiritual Foxes that were on the path of the Wish-making White Fox, while those that were dimmer represented those people currently making wishes to the Wish-making White Fox!
And ultimately, all of these sources pointed back to it!
The creator and pioneer of this evolutionary path as a Wish-making White Fox!
Then, Xiao Jiu tried to attach its consciousness to other even more delicate Prayer Lines.
Because these Prayer Lines were so thin, it could attach to several at once.
This time, Xiao Jiu didn’t see any specific images, but it heard many different voices—
"Lord White Fox, I want to eat ice cream! Can you fulfill this wish for me?"
"Lord White Fox, can you make my cat stop pooping everywhere?"
"Great Wish-making White Fox, please bless me so I can pass the upcoming Junior Spirit Plant Master exam!"
...
Chen Mo, whose mind was linked with Xiao Jiu, naturally heard these prayers.
These faint Prayer Lines came from beings who truly believed in the existence of the Wish-making White Fox and prayed to it.
Most were humans, but there were also Spiritual Beasts among them.
These wishes varied greatly, from the heartfelt to the downright absurd. For instance, Chen Mo heard one man’s voice—
"Today is Valentine’s Day; I pray to Lord White Fox to bless my garbage-picking with a bountiful haul!"
Hoping for a bountiful garbage-picking haul on Valentine’s Day? What kind of new trend is this?
Chen Mo couldn’t help but comment inwardly.
"Wuu!?"
Xiao Jiu discovered that it could use the Prayer Lines to cast the Wish Technique, thereby fulfilling the prayers of those who wished.
Perhaps millions of years ago, the legendary Prayer Star Beasts used this method to fulfill the prayers of the many beings in the Spirit Realm or on the Blue Planet.
Unfortunately, with its current strength, it probably couldn’t even fulfill a little kid’s wish for ice cream.
Its proficiency in the Wish Technique and the power level of the wishes were both too low.
"Jiu Bao, can you sense the general locations of these working foxes or Wish Makers?"
At that moment, Chen Mo’s voice suddenly echoed in the depths of Xiao Jiu’s heart.
"Wuu!" (Yes!)
"Try to see if you can use telepathy to inform those working foxes of the locations of nearby beings whose wishes need fulfilling, as well as what their wishes are."
Chen Mo said.
The biggest challenge in evolving along the path of the Wish-making White Fox is fulfilling the wishes of the Wish Makers without revealing your own identity.
This means every Wish Maker is a stranger, every wish a mystery box of the unknown.
This can lead to an awkward situation where the Wish Maker states their desire, only for the Wish-making White Fox to realize it can’t fulfill it...
But now, Xiao Jiu can just use the Prayer Star Stone to "post tasks" relating to the nearby Wish Makers’ desires!
This could greatly increase the "working foxes’" efficiency and "work passion".
Xiao Jiu, this "Wish-Granting White Fox God", can also show off some miracles to its "believers".
Xiao Jiu tried it out and succeeded.
The Silver Snow Fox that heard its voice earlier, with a try-and-see attitude, had its Spirit Master buy an ice cream and give it to the little boy who made the wish.
Then a trace of golden wish power appeared on the boy, flowing towards both it and Xiao Jiu.
The Prayer Line between the Silver Snow Fox and Xiao Jiu also grew slightly thicker.
Seeing Xiao Jiu’s successful trial, Chen Mo’s eyes lit up with excitement.
With the help of this Prayer Star Stone, Xiao Jiu can establish a huge information exchange platform.
Who knows how many times more efficient these "working foxes" can be, and the rate of Xiao Jiu’s secret power level growth could see a huge boost!
"Not bad, me."
"Wuu~" (Master, what a pity you are not a capitalist~)
Xiao Jiu tilted its head, giving Chen Mo a meaningful glance.
"Don’t talk nonsense, how is this capitalist exploitation! This is clearly a win-win-win situation."
Chen Mo denied, he was certainly not a capitalist!
Xiao Jiu was about to "post a task" for the second working fox when it suddenly felt its "soul" continuously falling.
Upon opening its eyes, it found itself back inside the spatial body of the tyrannical Venus Flytrap.
At this moment, the wish power in its body had been depleted, but the total amount had slightly increased.
And the Prayer Star Stone, which had been emanating a strange glow, once again became dormant, needing to be recharged before that wondrous space of wish power could be reopened.
After roughly understanding the function of the Prayer Star Stone, Chen Mo realized that he had likely encountered what was commonly known as a "lucky find" in novels.
This was not just an Epic Treasure; not even Legendary Treasures could possess such formidable powers. This was very likely a Mythical Treasure!
Moreover, a Mythical Treasure that was exceptionally suited for the Wish-making White Fox!
