Chapter 54: C’mon Spirit Power, Move!
“Is it really true? There’s actually a supernova star eclipse in the Free Country, and you’re like one of those?”
Night Lan immediately asked with a sense of urgency, as if she wanted to confirm it once and for all.
Although she wasn’t worried that this supernova star eclipse would harm her life completely, there was a very high chance that it would mess up the Rising Sun Theater Group’s performance.
If they couldn’t finish the show, surely everyone in the group would be furious.
Who knows what kind of weird trouble might happen during the process?
To which the Dream Narrator casually replied, “Who can tell, ya? It’s been ages since I last saw him. I can’t be sure he’s still lurking around there, he could’ve left or stuck around. I wouldn’t know his whereabouts either.”
“Hmm…”
Night Lan muttered to herself, deep in thought.
If that supernova star eclipse was indeed in the Free Country, then the Rising Sun Theater Group might run into him.
Aren’t eclipsing stars supposed to attract each other?
On the day of their performance, they’d definitely show off many high-spec star eclipses. Who knows if the supernova star eclipse would be drawn by these eclipsing waves and end up in Waltonka!
If that happened, the state in Waltonka could get way more complicated.
The already chaotic order combined with the situation from Qing Liao Songstress’s concert. If there was another supernova star eclipse lurking around, who knew what sort of crazy reactions might occur.
After thinking a bit, Night Lan decided to ask for some more information.
“Can you tell me anything about that supernova star eclipse hanging around in the Free Country? For example, its appearance, abilities, that sort of stuff.”
The Dream Narrator squinted at her.
“Why should I tell you?”
“Huh? Why not?”
“What’s in it for me?”
“Just help out, will ya?”
Night Lan tried bargaining with the Dream Narrator, clearly hoping to get away with no effort.
She was pretty good at freeloading.
Unfortunately for her, the Dream Narrator remained unmoved by her cute act, neither moved nor convinced.
“Your fellow kind and I may have been like brothers once, comrades-in-arms who risked life and limb together. Do you think I’d betray him just because of your request?”
“Hmm, so what do you want?” Night Lan sighed helplessly.
Looks like freeloading couldn’t continue.
“It’ll cost you.”
“Huh? Shouldn’t it be no strings attached?”
Night Lan was stunned by this unexpected twist.
Her face looked genuinely confused.
Seeing that, the Dream Narrator smirked charmingly.
“You don’t think someone who turns into a star eclipse still keeps the feelings of their human self, right? Eclipses live for obsessions; they discard all human emotions. So if I give you something that piques my interest, why wouldn’t I share useful info with you?”
Quite capricious, huh?
Thought Night Lan internally with a roll of her eyes.
No wonder supernova star eclipses were dangerous.
Just the sheer unpredictability was utterly absurd.
It meant nothing could bind their thoughts, they acted only according to personal whims and obsessions. Anything like wealth or beauty had no effect on them. True outsiders, really.
Of course, that was assuming their obsession was extraordinary enough.
Sometimes you could control an eclipse by exploiting its obsession.
But the Dream Narrator was not of this type.
“What do you want? I don’t think I got anything that interests you.”
Night Lan walked over to where the Dream Narrator sat, used the dream properties to fantasize about snacks and drinks, and started indulging herself.
Needless to say, it was all an illusion—she never felt full in a dream, only getting the taste but not the satisfaction.
During this time, she also snatched Dream Pursuer Yin from near the Dream Narrator without any hesitation, making a complete scene.
Dream Pursuer Yin didn’t put up a fight, acting like a cute doll.
Anyway, this little loli was easy to handle, and she seemed quite docile. Besides, she wouldn’t hurt her.
Night Lan attempted to feed her with the dream snacks.
Dream Pursuer Yin obediently took a few bites, looking incredibly well-behaved.
Mmm…
Oh, this loli next to the Dream Narrator is quite huggable too!
“Ha~”
The Dream Narrator smiled at the scene, never moving to stop her.
“Do you truly believe you have nothing to offer? Think it over. Saying out loud might not be appropriate.”
“Hmm…”
Prompted by the Dream Narrator, Night Lan began pondering seriously now.
What was her biggest asset?
Adorable looks? She doubted that.
Well, then perhaps it must be the extraordinary star inside her.
Yes, the wish machine!
Realizing this, she asked, “Do you want me to grant a wish?”
“That’s obvious!”
“No, no, no! That cost is too high!” Night Lan shook her head like a maracas player, clearly disagreeing.
Come on, granted wishes were always worth more than any price. Night Lan didn’t consider all wishes could be granted.
Plus, if it was the supernova star eclipse Dream Narrator wanting a wish, it felt too risky somehow.
Swapping supernova star eclipse info for a wish? She felt like she was losing out big time.
Eventually, when bad guys cause trouble, she could just have the theater group take care of them.
She was confident that the Rising Sun Theater Group’s collective strength could handle a supernova star eclipse.
When Night Lan was brainstorming this, the Dream Narrator continued, “True, it’s not so simple. I know plenty, and those things might be valuable to you. All knowledge, including the star eclipses surviving since ancient times, how about a deal like this?”
“Hmm… It seems not bad?”
Night Lan thought about it momentarily; she did feel it was fair trade.
She had a feeling these troublesome characters would inevitably cross paths someday, like other supernova star eclipses or more ancient followers of the origin of stars—very intimidating.
If she knew beforehand, she wouldn’t have to worry about those unknowns anymore.
“Okay, agreed! Tell me your wish then!”
The decision was still in Night Lan’s hands.
If she refused, all the Dream Narrator’s wishes were pointless, and the final say was hers.
She also needed to verify if his wish included anything unethical.
However, the Dream Narrator slightly shook his head.
“At your current level, you can’t fulfill my wish. You need to grow for a while first.”
“Ah, really?”
Night Lan was speechless.
Truthfully, only having spirit power grade C meant some wishes couldn’t be granted, like turning the wish machine into a loli in reality.
So, the Dream Narrator’s wish was of the same level as turning a wish machine into a loli.
Bottom line, she felt too unskilled.
This was frustrating.
Spirit Power, move already! Get serious!
