I Become The Richest Man With A monthly Salary of Twenty Thousand Yuan-Chapter 777 - 525 Playing with Fate
The reporters in the hospital room felt a chill in their hearts upon hearing Ling Er's words. They all understood that for him to say such a thing, Lingling's condition must have begun to deteriorate.
Thus, after hearing Ling Er speak, many of the reporters quickly voiced their support. They had long wanted to do something for this little girl who had been battling cancer for some time. Now, hearing Ling Er's words, their eyes lit up.
Indeed, they couldn't cure Lingling's illness, but they could fulfill her wish. As long as it wasn't too outlandish, with the power of public opinion and the fact that the entire internet was following her story, it might just be possible. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
"Lingling, your dad is right. Tell us your wish, and with so many of us here, we can definitely help you fulfill it."
"You have to believe us. We're reporters, we can do anything!"
"We're all your friends, and we'll definitely help you achieve your heart's desire."
Hearing this, Lingling's eyes lit up as she asked weakly, "Really? Any wish at all?"
Ling Er and Zhu Manqing quickly nodded. "Yes."
Lingling hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "I... I want to meet Sun Wukong."
Ling Er and Zhu Qing were stunned. They never expected this to be Lingling's final wish.
They knew of Sun Wukong, of course. As part of the generation that grew up in the '80s, who hadn't watched *Journey to the West* as a child? Within *Journey to the West*, Sun Wukong—who dared to fight the heavens and the earth, and challenge all the gods and buddhas—was the hero of every child's heart. Especially in recent years, countless movies, TV series, and even novels had been created with Sun Wukong as the subject.
It could be said that this mythical figure, Sun Wukong, was a hero in everyone's heart, especially in the hearts of the innumerable people of Dragon Country.
What they hadn't expected was that their eight-year-old daughter also loved Sun Wukong. What left them even more dumbfounded was that her dying wish wasn't for a delicious meal or a trip to an amusement park. It was to meet Sun Wukong! For a moment, everyone in the room was left completely speechless.
Ling Er hesitated for a moment before asking, "Lingling, can you tell Daddy why you want to meet Sun Wukong?"
"Because I love him! I love his free spirit, his courage, his daring! I love his Somersault Cloud and his Golden Cudgel! He protected Monk Tang on the journey to the Western Heaven and bravely fought all those demons and monsters. That's why I love him... Daddy, Mommy, is my wish too much? Biyi, where in this world could there be a real Sun Wukong?"
At first, Lingling grew more and more excited as she spoke, her eyes shining brightly. But by the end, that light had dimmed. Clearly, the little girl knew that Sun Wukong was only a figure from myths and legends.
Where, in reality, could anyone find the real Sun Wukong? Not only were her parents stunned by this wish, but even the group of reporters was practically petrified.
Honestly, the wish seemed impossible to grant. But just as everyone was anxiously scratching their heads, a female reporter in her twenties suddenly spoke up. "Maybe... there really is a Sun Wukong in this world?"
Instantly, everyone turned to look at her as if she were an idiot. Any sane person wouldn't have said something like that, but given the special circumstances, no one bothered to refute her.
The female reporter, however, was unfazed. She simply smiled and said, "We might not be able to find the real Sun Wukong, but there is someone whose portrayal of him is even more like the real deal. We can invite him to come! If he's willing to play Sun Wukong one more time, we can fulfill Lingling's wish!"
As the reporter explained, the others finally understood.
Everyone present had seen many versions of *Journey to the West* and watched many actors portray Sun Wukong. But the one who had left the deepest impression on them was undoubtedly the actor from the most classic version: Xiao Lingtong! His Handsome Monkey King created a classic, bringing the character to life! In fact, for many, the moment anyone mentioned Sun Wukong, the image that came to mind was Xiao Lingtong.
On Weibo, a verified public figure, Doctor Clover, who had over a million followers, immediately posted an update.
"Hello everyone, I'm Xue Mei, the chief physician of the internet-famous girl with cancer. I'm sure many of you have already heard her story. Right now, she has only one wish: to meet Sun Wukong! I hope to use the power of our vast community of netizens to invite Mr. Sun Wukong here, to fulfill this little angel's last wish."
This post was immediately reposted by countless verified Weibo accounts, including journalists and philanthropists. Some were the very reporters currently filming in the hospital room, along with their colleagues, while many of the philanthropists were people who had previously visited Lingling. In just two or three minutes, the post had already been shared dozens of times.
While it was only dozens of shares, each one came from a major influencer with a huge following. There were 'Big Vs' with millions of followers, and some with even tens of millions. Their popularity and influence were unparalleled. With their retweets, more and more people became aware of the situation and began sharing the post themselves.
In just half an hour, a fervent search for Sun Wukong swept across all of Weibo.
