# Chapter 1309: The Long, Long Night
Just as he was about to speak, he saw Han Menglu hugging the Godslayer Cannon and drooling!
Jiangnan covered his face, you ruined my sense of anticipation!
"Take it and study it. You can also ask Alice, she knows a bit more about this kind of thing!"
As he spoke, he pulled out another disk and tossed it to Han Menglu!
"This one's for you too. What's inside is something that'll make you drool even more!"
Han Menglu held the disk and swallowed her saliva.
(๑•̀﹃•́)و "Is it that kind of study material that brings joy to the heart?"
Jiangnan: (≖‸≖)
What the hell kind of study material is that?!
But if you put it that way, it's not entirely wrong.
"Inside is the arrangement of all the incantations for the God-Slaying Spell Array. I organized it into data and stored it here!"
"See if you can replicate a few more sets. After all, this thing isn't just ordinary useful!"
The battle with Ruishen and Ruiya this time was proof enough!
Han Menglu was stunned. It was the data on that spell array just now?
My god!
How many surprises do you want to give me?!
The Tianchen Bureau had been reduced to ruins after the fierce battle!
Fortunately, they had prepared in advance, so personnel losses weren't heavy, but there were many injured!
Having learned their lesson this time, presumably the Holy Star wouldn't casually charge into the formation again!
For now, it was safe!
Everyone had gathered in the conference room, with the Star Gate and Star Map placed in the middle!
Along with that massive Void Sea core fragment!
The melted parts of the Star Gate had been cleaned up, but a key missing piece of the incantation could never be repaired!
Rendering the Star Gate unusable!
At this moment, Yang Jian looked seriously at Bei Bei.
"Are you sure the ancient Su family relics at the Bei family's place contain the advanced incantations needed to repair the Star Gate?"
Bei Bei looked timid. Oh my god! This is the Secretary-General, right in front of her?
She was so nervous her voice trembled!
(☍﹏⁰) "There are... but I can't remember clearly. My grandma always guarded the incantation stone tablets very strictly. I only saw them once!"
Yang Jian's expression was solemn. "The repair of the Star Gate is of utmost importance. I'll handle the contact with the Bei family myself!"
"And Brother Tianchen, about that lunar-orbiting satellite?"
Jiang Tianchen's eyes were vacant.
(๐ᄑ_ᄑ) "Originally I thought we could modify the Mars probe satellite a bit and use it. But the equipment warehouse just exploded just now!"
Yang Jian: (̿▀̿̿Ĺ̯̿̿▀̿̿)̄...
Jiangnan: (‧̣̥̇乛₃乛) (whistling~)
"Transfer from the branch offices. The country will give full support. The Moon Embrace Project has already entered the implementation phase!"
"As long as you're willing to do it, there's nothing you can't achieve! Let the Holy Star see the power of the state machinery!"
Even Zhong Yingxue and the others were utterly shocked after learning the full story!
The Holy Star wanted to destroy the moon?!
What was even more hair-raising was that these people were preparing for a moon landing?!
Little Nan wanted to go up to the moon to find treasure?!
My god!
Even though Zhong Yingxue and the others had seen big scenes, they were still stunned by this crazy idea!
After assigning everyone their tasks, Yang Jian mentioned, "Oh, right. The International Spirit Martial Alliance plans to award medals of honor to those who withstood the skyfall this time!"
"This isn't just your personal honor, it's also a national honor! You should still go!"
Jiangnan's eyes lit up!
(๑¥ꇴ¥) "They give out little medals? I'm going, I'm going!"
Yang Jian smiled helplessly. "Remember to be careful and guard against Holy Star sneak attacks!"
After giving his instructions, everyone went back to their tents. This place would become the command center for the Moon Embrace Project!
Presumably, it would get busy soon!
Jiangnan naturally wouldn't sleep in a tent. He took out his off-road RV!
Since they hadn't seen each other in a long time, there was naturally plenty to talk about!
Jiangnan, Da Lang Mie, and the others sat in the RV, drinking beverages and eating snacks, chatting away!
And that was when Jiangnan learned that Da Lang Mie had only reached Diamond Three because she had absorbed all three Star Glory-level Day Cloud Tiger Spirit Pearls!
To get the Polar Day Cloud Sea she wanted!
Zhong Yingxue absorbed the Flame Spirit in one go, so her level was only Diamond Two, but reaching the top three was only a matter of time!
Speaking of which, Wu Liang's face darkened, and he let out a long sigh!
Jiangnan was puzzled. "Why the sigh?"
Xiong Er snickered. "Big Brother Yang finally got him a Star Glory-level War Giant Rhinoceros Spirit Pearl, but he didn't get the skill he wanted, so he gave it up!"
Wu Liang smiled bitterly. "The War Giant Rhinoceros has three spiritual skills: Enhanced Armor, City-Charging Rhino Horn, and War Anthem. I ended up with City-Charging Rhino Horn!"
"I already have Barbarian Charge. Adding City-Charging Rhino Horn would be redundant!"
"I can't waste a Diamond-level skill slot!" So he gave up absorbing it!
Jiangnan was quite surprised. That was really unlucky. Otherwise, Enhanced Armor would have been great!
Then Jiangnan casually reached into his space and pulled out another Star Glory-level War Giant Rhinoceros Spirit Pearl, tossing it to Wu Liang!
"Go ahead and absorb it! If I can't get a Dao Heaven-level one, I can still get a Star Glory-level one, right?"
"If this one doesn't work out, I'll have Dandelion get another one!"
At this moment, everyone stared at the Spirit Pearl in Wu Liang's hand, mouths wide open!
∑(❍ฺ㉨❍ฺlll)(•'(エ)'•۶)۶
"Holy crap? Another one? Big Brother Nan? Where... where did you get this?"
Jiangnan looked smug: (๑¯ิٹ¯ิ) "Picked it up at an auction!"
Wu Liang almost spat out a mouthful of old blood!
"You can pick up Star Glory-level Spirit Pearls?! Big Brother Nan, are your hands that lucky?!"
Jiangnan spread his hands: ʅ(･´‸･｀)ʃ "I'm not lying. I really picked it up!"
At the Baihua Grand Competition, he traded the coins and knives Pang Badi scattered. That was basically picking it up, right?
Wu Liang's bear face flushed with excitement. "If I were a woman, I'd give you two kisses right now!"
Jiangnan shuddered violently. No, thanks. Keep your fragrant kisses for Sister Tieniu!
Xia Yao asked curiously: (๑•̌ࡇ•̑)ˀ̣ˀ̣ "Where did you get that big saw blade skill? I saw it in the video; it was super powerful!"
Jiangnan puffed out his chest. "I tricked it out of a Bose body! Dao Heaven-level! Super fierce!"
The room fell into a long silence!
You can trick Dao Heaven-level Spirit Pearls too? And you stole the Origin Stone!
How did you come back from this trip—either picking up, robbing, or tricking?
You've covered all the bases of cheating, robbing, and stealing!
Speaking of which, Jiangnan suddenly remembered something. He lifted his hand and threw a mountain-sized pile of spirit materials onto the ground outside the RV!
This was the Blazing Cold Crystal he had gotten at the auction, traded for a bundle of scallions!
Xiao Jiuwo's eyes immediately locked onto it, drool practically forming a waterfall!
꒰ঌ(◍ᵒ̴̶̷̥́﹃ᵒ̴̶̷̣̥̀)໒꒱ "Master~ Is... is this a gift for me?"
Jiangnan smiled brightly. "Yeah, eat it! If you eat it and still don't break through to Diamond, then I'll eat you!"
Xiao Jiuwo: (◍꒦ິ﹏꒦ີ)
"I'll work hard!"
With that, she rushed out and started munching on the Blazing Cold Crystal. She had barely eaten half when she already broke through to Diamond!
The ice and fire aura on her body grew stronger!
Truly, there is great terror in life and death, but also great opportunity!
Just then, Jiangnan's expression froze!
He suddenly noticed Xia Yao chewing on a lollipop, licking it nonstop!
She had already eaten most of it!
Jiangnan: ???
(°口°๑) "Da Lang Mie? Where did you get that lollipop?"
Xia Yao crunched down and swallowed the candy. "Didn't you put it on the table? It's a sharing version too? I've never seen this kind of packaging before!"
She was about to eat the remaining blue one on the table!
Jiangnan was so startled he broke out in a cold sweat and quickly pocketed the blue lollipop!
Xia Yao looked confused: (๑•᷄ࡇ•᷅) "What's wrong?"
Jiangnan forced a smile: (￢ㅂ￢‧̣̥̇) "Nothing... it's my favorite flavor. I'll save it for later!"
Thank goodness Da Lang Mie didn't eat both, or who knows what would happen?
What if it turned into two Da Lang Mies?
Hmm? That doesn't sound like a loss?
Xia Yao shrugged and didn't think much of it. The night was deep, and Mila and Lan were so sleepy they looked like nodding bugs!
So Xia Yao carried Lan and Mila, taking Zhong Yingxue to sleep in another RV!
Zhong Yingxue took the lower bunk, Xia Yao the upper bunk!
Mila and Lan slept in the cabover bed!
On Jiangnan's side, Wu Liang had the lower bunk, Jiangnan the upper bunk, and Xiong Er slept in the cabover bed!
Lying in bed, Jiangnan tossed and turned, unable to sleep, always thinking about the candy in his pocket!
The long night stretched on, no heart for sleep!
Furtively, Jiangnan pulled out the candy, his heart racing!
He felt a thrill of doing something naughty!
This doesn't count as me being bad, okay? You were the one who ate the candy!
Let me just see if Da Lang Mie sleeps properly, and whether she still kicks off the covers!
The one in his hand was Blue Moon, and the one Da Lang Mie ate was Red Sun!
Making up his mind, he shoved the lollipop into his mouth, chewed it up, and swallowed!
Suddenly, Jiangnan's body stiffened, completely out of control!
His body snapped into a sitting position and gave a big stretch!
٩(ૢ⁼̴⌂⁼̴)۶ "Mmm~ hoo~"
Then he switched to a lying-on-his-stomach pose, back arched high, and stretched again!
Jiangnan: ???
Does Da Lang Mie have this many rituals before sleeping?
This is no different from a little milk wolf's pre-sleep routine!
After stretching, Jiangnan's body uncontrollably leaned over to look at the lower bunk!
Then he pulled the covers over himself, curling into a ball!
He started digging under the pillow and then began flicking his thumb in the air as if scrolling!
Jiangnan was speechless!
She's playing on her phone, isn't she? It's so late and she's still up?
Tomorrow, he really needs to teach Da Lang Mie a lesson!
(ʃƪ･᷄﹃･᷅) "Heehee~ So handsome! Carrying the skyfall here is practically a world-famous painting!"
"Slurp~"
Jiangnan was stunned. Is Da Lang Mie admiring videos of herself?
Down on the lower bunk, Wu Liang closed his eyes, the corner of his mouth twitching!
Wow, Big Brother Nan is complimenting himself in the middle of the night?
Is he sick in the head or something?
