Tall, handsome, vibrant, and full of energy.
In his twenties, Lahar had grown from the once crying little kid into a strong individual capable of standing on his own.
In the Eighth District Forward Base, in Lin Haifeng's office, Wen Yu saw the child he once knew after many years. However, aside from a nostalgic feeling about how quickly time passes, he felt no other emotions.
Lahar simply smiled at Wen Yu and greeted him with "Uncle Wen Yu," and that was all...
After all, he could no longer rush into Wen Yu's arms like he used to.
It was a remarkable feat that after more than a decade, Lahar could still remember Wen Yu.
In the room, besides Lahar, there were also Fran and Lin Haifeng. The four of them looked at each other in the office for a while, until Lin Haifeng spoke first.
"Make your wish first, then I’ll talk to you about other matters."
Wen Yu nodded and approached Lahar.
...
The familiar gaze awakened memories in Wen Yu. Lahar's eyes were still as brilliant as they were more than a decade ago, shining like a galaxy.
As the light flickered, Wen Yu felt a wave of dizziness similar to teleportation, yet distinctly different.
This power was strong but seemed extremely fragile in front of Wen Yu. He even felt that with just a slight exertion, he could break free from its binds.
"Calm down! Don't resist..."
Wen Yu merely moved his fingertips, and Lahar felt the overwhelming feedback from the star wish. He had no choice but to speak to Wen Yu in this way.
In the past, Lahar could effortlessly pull Wen Yu into the wishing space, but today was different; the gap between the strength of the former youth and the child had widened like a chasm.
This also allowed Lahar to understand the limits of his star wish...
However, once Wen Yu retracted his power and voluntarily requested to enter the wishing space, the previously unbearable feedback from the star wish lessened considerably. With the sudden change in the scene before Wen Yu, the next moment, he was standing amidst a dazzling galaxy.
"State your wish!"
It was still the familiar tone.
There was no change here.
...
"I wish to find the spirit pet that suits me best."
Wen Yu quickly made his wish and expanded his perception, meticulously exploring all the secrets of this place.
Unlike more than a decade ago, at this moment, Wen Yu could clearly sense the energy flows rising among the stars above him, countless pieces of information intertwining and ultimately transforming into the reality he desired.
This ability essentially resembled a highly advanced computer, calculating future possibilities based on existing data through a specific algorithm—when the computational power reached a certain level, combined with numerous known facts, the future became as clear and traceable as the past.
Of course, there were certainly things that Wen Yu couldn’t comprehend or see through.
This was different from the dream realization skill system, which essentially used life force to turn fantasies into reality, while the star wish merely provided information through calculations—indeed, Wen Yu had envisioned creating a spirit pet for himself through the dream realization skill system. Creating a living being with the dream realization skill system was manageable, but once it involved creation skills, the effects of dream realization would be nullified.
In other words, the dream realization skill system could not conjure skills out of thin air.
According to Wen Yu's speculation, this should involve the issue of weight determination—while the dream realization skill system was powerful, it was merely a super combination of ordinary skills. In terms of weight, the dream realization skill system was not a conceptual ability.
After a moment, the star wish provided feedback.
"Cost: 100,000 Level 10 Magic Crystals!"
This was the electricity needed for the computer's calculations. Although the price was a bit high, it was indeed reasonable.
Wen Yu cleanly paid the cost, and then the star wish provided specific coordinates.
