I'm not really sure...? I've never requested anything of them myself, it's just what I heard from others. I assumed it was about payments, so I don't know that they would want to give away money instead.
That's... a good question. I don't think anyone really talks about the second best very often. [ hmmm. ] A while ago, I'd have said the Butterfly Sect, but they're not really around anymore...
Hah, yeah... Sounds like they're asking the wrong people. I don't know why they'd need to, anyway; it seems like they've got connections everywhere if we're all from different worlds.
Oh yeah, they didn't elaborate on that at all, did they? Another wish could be it, I suppose, but I wonder if they'd put limits on it so we don't just get what we want and leave...
[ how do our capitalist overlords keep us chained to the job if they're giving out wishes like halloween candy? ]
Hmm... How about, something one person— one normal person— would be capable of granting?
[ a fancy homecooked dinner? that's more than doable, given he had access to recipes and ingredients. anything more magical than that, though, it's out of his hands. something practical. something even he can do. ]
Ah. I see. [ barely knows what those things are. ] Well, I was posing as a cultivator, and their often requires them to visit remote places to handle problems there. That's all I meant.

Maybe we should table this sponsorship idea for now. I don't know any affluent or famous people either, haha...

There's that referral bonus that was mentioned- maybe like a mini wish? You think?

Okay~ What do you want to eat? I'll do my best to learn it.

Huh? I wasn't asking you to... You don't have to do that.

I suppose I've never tried making bread, either... We usually just fish or have rations on field missions.

[ what is the confusion here ]
no subject
[ like, out in the countryside? leng feng said he wasn't a farmer, so that can't be it. and trains make reaching rural areas easy these days anways. ]
No, I don't know. My work was more emails and phone calls than fieldwork.
