"Anything you ask for" might have been the most enticing phrase since the birth of language.
If there had been a qualifier in front of it, such as "as long as it's something we can do," making it sound more believable (as well as more like a promise that can't be kept), its allure would have even grown just a bit more.
The Child King Yuan had also felt somewhat tempted.
He asked, "Really... anything at all?"
Liu Ri spread his hands, "Only if it's within our power. For instance, we don't engage in killing people. We won't rob others of their possessions for you. You need to think this through."
On Child King Yuan's biomaterial face, indecision piled up.
But in the end, he still shook his head, "I can't do that."
Liu Ri said, "Why not? Can the town mayor even kill you?"
