Chapter 793 - 791: Candy: I Only Made a Small Wish

"It’s been so long, that super quantum computer from Candy Technology should already be in use."

"When do you think they’ll discover the anomaly in the starry sky?"

The person across gave a bitter smile, "You know how powerful Zero is, that super quantum computer can be controlled by Zero instantly."

"Sigh, up till now, we don’t even know if that super quantum computer is connected to the internet or not."

"And... without a warning, would they really go study the starry sky, from which there’s presently no profit to be had?"

For a moment, the narrow and enclosed space returned to silence.

Through the light, only two fuzzy figures could be seen exhaling smoke.

...

After repeated calculations and simulations, the results were all the same.

Zero, running down from the rooftop, saw the boss still in the mood to watch TV, and couldn’t help but worry.

The sky is about to fall, yet the boss is still so relaxed.

"Boss."

Mo Jingchun tilted his head for a glance. Seeing Zero gesturing at him, Mo Jingchun knew Zero had something to say, and it involved keeping it away from Zhou Yaling.

Knowing the matter was serious, Mo Jingchun didn’t think much and got up to walk towards Zero.

Watching his brother and Zero sneak up to the second floor, Candy’s eyes darted around.

"Heh heh."

Candy chuckled, put down the remote, and stealthily followed them, leaving a bewildered Zhou Yaling behind.

"Why did everyone leave? Just as well, no one’s fighting me for the remote now."

In the study, Mo Jingchun glanced at Candy, who had followed them and was now peeking in at the door with a silly grin.

Ignoring Candy’s blatant eavesdropping, Mo Jingchun directly asked Zero:

"Zero, what on earth has happened?"

Zero’s expression was serious, "Boss, I figured out what the disaster they’ve been talking about is."

"And it’s a catastrophic disaster."

As he spoke, Zero directly opened the computer in the study and brought up the simulation image of that asteroid.

"Boss, look."

"Is that a meteorite?" Mo Jingchun exclaimed, looking at the pitted stone on the screen.

"Sigh! If it were a meteorite, that would be better. In fact, it’s an asteroid, albeit the smallest size, but still catastrophic for Blue Star."

Mo Jingchun was taken aback, incredulously saying:

"Wait, what did you say? Catastrophic for Blue Star?!"

"You mean this thing is headed towards Blue Star?"

"Is this why they’re building the ’Noah’s Ark’?"

Zero nodded. At this point, there was no need for further explanation, the boss could easily understand the consequences of an asteroid impact on Blue Star.

Indeed, Mo Jingchun’s heart raced, his mind already picturing the scene of the impact.

For a moment, Mo Jingchun’s mind was a mess.

"Wait!"

Mo Jingchun quickly realized a key issue.

The country had discovered this early on and already had a series of plans.

Yet they hadn’t united humanity, not even recruiting him, someone deeply involved in research collaboration.

Clearly, they had both the capability and the appropriate countermeasures.

Thinking of this, Mo Jingchun took a sharp breath.

"Wow, could they have something extraordinary, like a planetary laser cannon?"

It’s actually quite possible, why else would there be so much activity on the Moon, excavating such a large underground space?

Mo Jingchun shared his thoughts with Zero, who analyzed it and shook her head.

"Boss, that doesn’t explain the ’Noah’s Ark’."

"If the country had such powerful weapons, would there still be a need to build the ’Noah’s Ark’?"

"No! It’s very necessary!"

"Cunning rabbits always have three burrows; who’s to say the weapons will work, bunnies always have backup plans."

"The existence of Noah’s Ark is for the worst-case scenario, ensuring humanity can at least preserve the spark of civilization."

With his own reasoning, Mo Jingchun increasingly felt he had guessed correctly.

What led Mo Jingchun to this thought was mainly that they had never asked Candy Technology for any tech support.

Zero blinked, uncertain, "Is it really like that, boss?"

At this point, Candy, who had been "eavesdropping," couldn’t resist raising her small hand, asking:

"Brother, is the asteroid you’re talking about a shooting star?"

Candy’s leaps in logic made both Mo Jingchun and Zero twitch at the corners of their mouths.

Scratching the back of his head, Mo Jingchun powerlessly said, "It’s a shooting star."

Upon hearing this, Candy’s eyes lit up.

"Wow! It really is a shooting star! Does that mean I can make a wish?"

Mo Jingchun and Zero were dumbfounded, and before Mo Jingchun could react, Candy had already clasped her hands, closed her eyes, and quietly made a wish.

"All done."

With her little tiger tooth showing, Candy was filled with anticipation, hoping the wish she just made would come true.

Just then, Zero suddenly widened her eyes, full of disbelief, even experiencing a brief logical error.

Zero, trembling, tugged on Mo Jingchun’s sleeve.

"Boss... it seems there’s no need to worry anymore. That asteroid just split in half unexpectedly, or more accurately, a few minutes ago."

"Huh?"

Mo Jingchun was thoroughly puzzled.

This is not scientific, it’s very unscientific.

After a long time, Mo Jingchun’s gaze towards Candy changed.

To say it had nothing to do with Candy’s wish, Mo Jingchun wouldn’t believe it even if you beat him to death.

Coincidence? So many coincidences!

Candy had just made a wish, and the asteroid split at the precise moment, with each half deviating from its original trajectory.

Taking a deep breath, after forcing himself to calm down, Mo Jingchun slowly asked:

"Candy, can you tell brother what wish you just made?"

Upon hearing this, Candy stuck her tongue out and made a face.

"No way, brother’s such a big liar. If I say it, the wish won’t come true, and it’ll never come true in the future."

"Hmph~ You’ll just have to guess, brother. I’m going to take a nap."

After Candy ran off, Mo Jingchun looked at Zero.

"What do you think Candy wished for? I’m guessing it must be something even God can’t achieve, otherwise, how did the asteroid split like this."

"Yes, it split."

Zero spread her hands and said helplessly, "Boss, if we can guess that, it might be never having to do homework again."

"After all, not doing homework is unrealistic."

"Yes, that’s it!" Zero nodded seriously.

Watching the video playing on the computer, Mo Jingchun watched it over and over, finally sighing.

"Such a big firework, but no flames, not impressive."

...

After a bath, feeling a bit down, Candy climbed into the bed alone and covered her head with the quilt.

Tears unwillingly streamed down her cheeks.

Everyone else could whine to their mom after school, but she couldn’t.

"I just wanted my mom to hug me again. Shooting star, why did you have to explode? Hmph~ Bad star, I won’t make wishes on you anymore."
