Just as the wishing stone was feeling extremely anxious, Qi Xu spoke up.

"As wishing stones, you can actually communicate with human players, right?"

The wishing stone was overjoyed! This human player spoke to me! It immediately started glowing, heating up, and even getting hot...

Qi Xu roughly guessed that it could only respond to and hear the voices of human players, but could not engage in any specific communication.

"You truly are the most outstanding, handsome, and amazing wishing stone I've ever seen. No other wishing stone is as pleasing to the eye as you. Seeing you makes me so happy..."

Qi Xu tentatively tapped the stone first, and the wishing stone immediately lit up and wouldn't go out. Very good, it's easy to coax.

Qi Xu then understood why he couldn't negotiate with the Little Magic Mirror and make another wish, just like he had.

It was lunchtime, so Qi Xu wasn't in a hurry to make a wish. Instead, she simply placed the wishing stone on the table and had the three little ones sit with her. They ate and chatted together.

After praising Qi Xu, they praised Xiao Qi; after Xiao Qi, they praised Tian Niu; after Tian Niu, they praised Ni Jiu Jiu. It didn't matter that they couldn't communicate, and it didn't matter that Jiu Jiu couldn't speak. Everyone could feel each other's feelings.

Wishing Stone felt like she had reached the pinnacle of life, having met the best human on the road to survival! Even though she was a bit forgetful and probably illiterate, she was a really good person.

All the misfortunes were just to accumulate energy so that I could meet her!

"Baby, whether I make a wish or not is secondary. My main concern is that I don't want to be separated from you. If I make a wish, you'll shatter into pieces, right? I can't bear that..."

Qi Xu choked up as he spoke. A stone that had just emerged from its slumber and desperately needed affirmation was overwhelmed by this, yet it had no way to communicate with this human and could only desperately try to shine.

"But I have a great idea. Could you let me make two wishes? That way, after I make one wish, you can stay with me..."

Even Qi Xu himself blushed at his own words; who would believe such a reason? Not even a dog would...

After all, Xiaoqi grinned and turned her head away, covering her mouth tightly with her paw, as if afraid she would laugh out loud.

But the wishing stone believed it and shone again in response to Qi Xu.

Qi Xu's eyes lit up, and he struck while the iron was hot, writing on the wishing stone, "I want the item to start a national war, mwah mwah."

The wishing stone was stunned. The item used to launch a national war was a god-level item. It wasn't that it couldn't be given to her, but she had just been promised two wishes, and there was a possibility that she wouldn't have enough energy...

Qi Xu waited a while for a response and started to panic. Had he wasted a wishing stone? He had indeed been too blunt this time, but he'd only been so audacious because he thought the wishing stone was easy to talk to...

I should have been more tactful.

"Did I make things difficult for you, darling? It's alright. If you can't give me the items to directly launch a national war, you can at least give me a way to obtain those items."

The wishing stone then stood upright again.

An invitation was quickly sent out.

[International Invitational Tournament: 10 countries will be randomly invited to participate. Each country will send 10 players. The competition will be randomly determined by a roulette wheel. The player with the highest score at the end will win the item to initiate a national war: the "Edict of Conquest".]

Qi Xu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he hadn't been hit in the face by a stone like Ying Sha. Moreover, the wishing stone hadn't turned into dust, which meant... he could still make one more wish.

Qi Xu thought to himself that he must try his best to find something to power the wishing stone and the magic mirror! To turn them into a perpetual motion machine!
