Chapter 102: Wish Machine Eats the Solo Again
Although Lulu Lana interrupted the theater group’s performance, it was impossible for them to punish her.
First off, she didn’t do it on purpose, then she was still friends with Night Star, and finally, she was also a loyal audience member of the theater group.
These points made her basically immune to any punishment.
Night Star looked at the theater leader and suggested, “Since today’s show had to be stopped, why don’t we continue tomorrow instead?”
The theater leader nodded slightly, having no objections.
Then he glanced at Lulu Lana lying on the stage.
“How is this young lady doing?”
“Mmm… I’m not sure, but it doesn’t seem too serious. Probably her high mental power made the Star intensify, and when she got too close to the Star Eclipses, it got out of control.”
Night Star stated his guess, which was pretty accurate.
Mo Rabbit walked over and shared what she had found in her divination.
“The little girl’s Star seems to be a passive ability, and she can’t turn it on or off. As long as the Star Eclipses are around her, it will activate automatically. With her increased mental power, her Star becomes more sensitive to the Star Eclipses, and even from a distance, it could activate and hurt the Gentleman and Fraudster.”
When it came to the Fraudster and Gentleman, even though they were slightly injured by the Purification Light earlier, they quickly recovered.
They didn’t blame Lulu Lana either.
At the end of the day, she was a loyal audience member who could enter the theater, right?
The theater group showed considerable tolerance towards their loyal patrons.
The Gentleman let out a gentle sigh.
“Poor girl, carrying such a tragic power. She, who was originally polite, did something rude under duress. I hope she won’t feel too guilty when she wakes up.”
This, in the Gentleman’s view, was indeed tragic.
Quite the opposite of how people felt about Star Eclipses.
After all, this purifying power targeted Star Eclipses. If humans held this power, it could reduce the threat.
But this kind of power would likely remain rare.
And currently, only Lulu Lana possesses it.
The Fraudster grinned.
“Why don’t I give her powers a makeover?”
Mo Rabbit shook her head.
“Treating the symptoms isn’t enough; it’s not a lasting solution.”
The Fraudster’s concept interference wasn’t flawless after all.
If someone realized that the ability causing the situation didn’t make sense, the effect would break.
Moreover, there’s still some degree of Star Eclipses contamination, which could hurt people significantly.
Onstage.
Lulu Lana blinked awake, looking around. Seeing Night Star next to her, she asked, “Night Star, what happened?”
“Oh, you’re awake! Looks like you’re fine, thank goodness.”
Night Star then told her what had happened.
Lulu Lana stood up nervously and bowed to everyone present to apologize.
“I’m so sorry! If not for me, you wouldn’t have been interrupted.”
She looked very guilty.
The theater leader shook his head.
“We forgive you. This wasn’t your fault. Don’t be too hard on yourself. We’ll restart the performance tomorrow. Your coming here is apology enough.”
Night Star quietly gave a thumbs-up.
The theater leader was really good at speaking!
He deserved a pat on the back!
But Lulu Lana dropped her head, dejectedly saying, “Maybe I should stay away? I don’t want to disturb the show again…”
Night Star placed a hand on Lulu Lana’s head.
“Aw, don’t worry about that. Don’t you see, you can’t do that anymore?”
“Huh… Yeah, maybe not.”
Noticed by Night Star’s words, Lulu Lana realized her inner Star seemed to have vanished.
She felt no power at all.
Yet, Lulu Lana didn’t want to lose her father’s strength.
Her mom said the Star was the legacy from her dad; she should cherish it, even if she didn’t use it.
Lulu Lana wanted to keep that connection alive.
Night Star seemed to know her thoughts and explained, “No worries, it’s temporary. Your Star isn’t gone; just figuring out how to bring it back might take some clever thinking.”
“Okay.”
Lulu Lana looked hopefully at Night Star, placing all her faith in her.
After pondering, Night Star only considered one solution.
Seemed like only the Wish Machine could help.
But the Wish Machine was a secret—should she tell Lulu Lana?
Hmm…
Thoughtful for a moment, Night Star decided.
“Lulu Lana, make a wish.”
“Wish?”
Lulu Lana tilted her head, puzzled. Should she blow out birthday candles just like making a wish?
Night Star didn’t immediately explain but stated her thoughts.
“Lulu Lana, do you want to control that uncontrollable mental power inside you? You know, the stronger the mental power, the greater the damage from the Star. Plus, this ability is passive and uncontrolled. With proximity to the Star Eclipses, you could get erased outright. Do you want that?”
Lulu Lana shook her head, not desiring such a thing.
She didn’t want to be some Star Eclipses killer.
Besides, the theater leader she admired was a Star Eclipses, as were many members of the Rising Sun Theater Group.
Harming them would guilt Lulu Lana to d*ath.
Thus, she suddenly regretted getting such strong mental power.
She wondered if she could trade it back with Hilo.
Pocket money was never an issue since she always had plenty.
But what about the mental power?
Lulu Lana was very troubled.
Then Night Star spoke.
“I can extract your mental power if you wish.”
“How?”
Lulu Lana didn’t ask many details, seeming ready to follow Night Star blindly.
Night Star was glad at this lack of curiosity from Lulu Lana.
“Just follow me, repeat after me,” Night Star instructed.
“Okay.”
Then Night Star said, “I, Lulu Lana, with mental power traded from Hilo, wish for my Star to have a controllable state.”
“I, Lulu Lana…”
Lulu Lana obediently repeated what Night Star had said, successfully completing the Wish Machine process.
The next second.
A drastic change occurred.
Lulu Lana’s body glowed faintly as if something was about to come out.
Then, numerous light particles flowed out like liquid, entering Night Star’s body—the payment was made.
Night Star breathed a sigh of relief.
Seems she hadn’t misunderstood the price.
Others might charge for wishes with strange things or even power sources, yet the price had been clearly mentioned before, and the Wish Machine had accepted it.
However…
Night Star’s expression turned strange.
Why didn’t Lulu Lana’s mental power increase her own?
Did the Wish Machine eat her share again?!
Ugh, the Wish Machine!
Must turn into a loli and spank it three times!
