"I've only heard a little about it. I've heard that the God of Light will choose a lucky person on that day to grant his wish, but it seems that not all wishes can be fulfilled."
When it comes to important matters, Wu Yu naturally wouldn't pretend to know what he didn't. He directly stated that he didn't know anything and handed the initiative over to Yi Fang.
“That’s basically it.” Yi Fang nodded. “The key to becoming that chosen one lies in the range of wishes you can make.”
"Go on," Wu Yu said, no longer looking at the menu, his attention focused to the maximum.
"I collected the wishes of all the chosen ones over the past few thousand years, and then had someone organize and analyze them. The content of these wishes can be mainly divided into the following categories."
"The first option is to seek wealth. However, the wealth that God bestows upon you shall not exceed one percent of your own wealth."
"The second option is to seek power. But the rank that God can bestow upon you will not exceed that of a viscount."
"The third method is to increase strength, but it can only advance to a higher rank, not to a higher level, and it is ineffective against Saint-level beings."
"The fourth method is to treat illnesses and injuries, but it is ineffective for injuries and illnesses that cannot be treated by other methods."
"The fifth method is murder, but the target cannot be a Saint-level expert or a noble."
"There are also some strange and unusual wishes, but overall they are these four types."
After listening, Wu Yu pondered for a moment and then asked, "What happens if the wish goes beyond the scope of what is allowed?"
“The gods will let you have a great dream, and when you lose what you wished for in the dream, you will wake up,” Yifang replied.
"Heh, this God of Light is really a bit petty," Wu Yu said with a hint of disdain. After complaining, Wu Yu continued to express his opinion on the matter: "In other words, the wishes granted by the God of Light will not have a significant impact on reality."
"Mr. Wu Yu is indeed clever, he understands immediately. The key to making a wish is that you absolutely cannot interfere with the course of the world. In other words, your wish can only add icing on the cake, and is completely insufficient to change a person's fate." Yi Fang subtly praised Wu Yu again.
“That makes much more sense.” Wu Yu expressed his understanding. If any wish could be granted, the Church of Light would have already ruled the world by doing so once a year.
It feels similar to winning the lottery; that huge sum of money is enough to allow you to live a wealthy life temporarily, but your future fate still depends on yourself.
"The God of Light can regenerate my severed limbs, which means there are other people who can do this. Do you know who they are?" Wu Yu asked, pretending to be very calm.
He can't put all his eggs in one basket. If this fails, he'll have to find another way to grow his hand back. Although he's almost gotten used to it, being disabled is never a good thing.
Another method of limb regeneration is also considered a secret, but there's no reason why people of all levels like Wu Yu wouldn't know it! Yi Fang felt a little strange, but still chose to answer the question.
"Legend has it that there is a Fountain of Immortality in the forbidden lands of the elves. As long as one drinks from the spring, one can be young again and never age. Even severed limbs can regenerate. However, the elves are not friendly to humans. Even if you are there, the Elf Queen may not allow you to enter their forbidden lands."
It's not just a matter of "maybe," it's an absolute impossibility. Wu Yu immediately abandoned Plan B. Why would the mighty Elf Queen bother with a nobody like him? Oh well, if this fails, it's more realistic to try again next year.
"Tell me your plans, and I can offer some advice," Wu Yu decisively steered the conversation back to business.
"You get what you pay for. Since Mr. Wu Yu has already paid, there's no need for you to worry. Rest assured, the selection of the chosen one this time is absolutely guaranteed," Yi Fang said confidently.
However, Wu Yu noticed that she seemed to have a rather small chest, so this kind of guarantee made him uneasy. Wu Yu could only say tactfully, "I naturally trust you to handle things, but I just want to see Miss Yifang's brilliant strategy and learn more from it."
"Mr. Wu Yu, you flatter me. We only use unorthodox methods; they can't compare to your solid, legitimate skills," Yi Fang said modestly. However, not wanting to dampen Wu Yu's spirits, she continued...
"The bracelet that Virginia gave us today represents the qualification to compete for the Chosen One, and the God of Light will only select those who carry the bracelet on that day within the capital city. In other words, Mr. Wu Yu, your competitors only exist within the capital city."
"There must be quite a few people here. When we went to get the bracelets today, there wasn't much of a hassle. You just had to pay an entrance fee to enter the free lucky draw. I don't think the locals would refuse." Wu Yu had already begun to realize the difficulty of the situation.
"A lottery? Only Mr. Wu Yu would dare to describe a divine blessing as so ordinary," Yi Fang exclaimed in surprise. However, looking at Wu Yu's calm demeanor, she realized she had overreacted.
Wu Yu was also oblivious to that, still racking his brains trying to guess what Yi Fang might do.
Yifang continued, "So if you want to become the chosen one, it's very simple. All you need is all the bracelets in the capital."
Isn't that obvious? Everyone knows the way to win the lottery with 100% certainty is to buy all the numbers, but who can actually do that? So Wu Yu felt that Yi Fang was a bit unreliable, and he asked with some suspicion, "What are you planning to do?"
"The first step is to buy them with money. The capital city has a population of ten million. For ordinary people, one percent of their wealth is only a few dozen copper coins. So I will offer one silver coin to buy the bracelets from the entire capital city. I have prepared 100,000 gold coins as working capital for this purpose," Yi Fang explained slowly.
