Chapter 1457: Door Hopping
Speaking of which, Jiangning was also somewhat puzzled!
(•̆～•̆) "I just didn't expect Igor to transfer a large number of the Pupil Race here, and even bring in a Star-Devouring Giant Worm!"
"Originally I thought they used silicon-based life, the cutting-edge technology of Mechanical Race to open the Moon Eye!"
"Who knew it was gnawed by a Star-Devouring Giant Worm? Incense Bead—tsk tsk—really not wasting anything!"
"With such a big move, is the Sacred Law Council blind? They don't even care?"
What Jiangning didn't know was that Igor had been recalled for investigation because the No Moon Plan was too grand in scale!
He hadn't shown up for quite a while!
Originally, Jiangning was afraid that Igor might be on the moon and Jiangnan would suffer, so he followed!
Who knew that after such a big commotion, the Bose Body of Saint Star never appeared?
Jiangnan's eyes were full of curiosity: (*ﾟﾛﾟ) "Silicon-based life? Mechanical Race? Damn—are they fully mechanical creatures? Like Transformers, Megatron, Bumblebee?"
"Cybertron planet?"
Optimus Prime still has relatives around?
Jiangning: (≖‸≖٥)
"Mechanical Race can indeed transform, into cars and such—that should be no trouble for them, right?"
"The Starry Sky is vast, and life forms are divided into many types. For example, humans and Pupil Race are carbon-based lifeforms, while Mechanical Race are silicon-based lifeforms."
"There are also energy-type lifeforms like the Mind Spirit Bead Triangle Entities!"
"Hmm—but the Divine Silence Star of the Triangle Entities has also been developed into a Star Ruins. They're usually captured to make Mind Spirit Beads."
Jiangnan's mouth fell open. He still remembered the Mind Spirit Beads vividly!
Even terrifying existences like the Triangle Entities, which are energy-type lifeforms, have been developed into Star Ruins?
Then how strong are the Ten Thousand Races who obtained game qualifications and entered Thousand Stars City?
Survival of the fittest—it's the same everywhere, isn't it?
At this moment, Jiangnan's eyes sparkled. He grabbed Jiangning's hand and shook it nonstop!
(๑ớ◡ờ)۶(๑◔◠◔ิ)
"What else? Sister Ningning, tell me more~"
"What about the Teletubbies? Were they also developed into a Star Ruins? Captured and skinned to produce combat suits?"
"Hiss—or are they caught to film cartoons? And Ultraman? Does Ultraman really exist?"
"I've believed in the light since I was a kid, you know?"
At this moment, Jiangnan was like a curious child, clinging to Jiangning and begging her to tell him stories.
Li Bing covered her face. Damn it, capturing Teletubbies to film cartoons?
Is this really the same spirited Jiangnan from just now?
Can't you let us bask in your coolness a bit longer, for crying out loud!
Jiangning rubbed her forehead: (ﾉ)⇀‸↼) "No! I won't tell you anymore. Knowing too much at this stage isn't good for you—you'll inevitably aim too high and neglect the basics."
"Right now, humanity is in a difficult position. What you need to do is look up at the starry sky, keep your feet on the ground, handle what's in front of you, and do your best to continue your path as far as possible."
"I can only tell you this: the further you go, the more splendid the scenery on both sides becomes. Never try to stop!"
Jiangnan looked a bit disappointed and reluctantly nodded.
But he also understood that Sister Ningning was right. She had said before that the world is big, far more exciting than imagined.
He just didn't expect the world to be this big!
A little nobody like him, who hasn't even left the newbie village, should focus on building up his own village!
Better deal with the moon first!
Holy crap! That Money Printing Bug—whatever it takes—he has to get one and raise it just to smell it!
Just then, a notification came through the public channel from Jiang Tianchen!
"Jiangnan! The E Guo Hurricane has just entered lunar orbit and has been detected by the Lunar Net Heavenly Eye System!"
"But are you sure they'll lend you their Star Ring? In matters like this, it's not something you can talk through just by connections!"
After all, the various countries are still competing in the race to land on the moon.
Jiangnan's eyes lit up!
Oho? They're here already?
(*՞～՞) "They wouldn't dare not lend it! There are two Star Rings, and I got one of them for them!"
He was quite certain of that.
Checking the location on his tablet, Jiangnan decided to take his people to find Mo Mo and borrow a door.
Li Bing quickly said, "If we leave, what about Silver Moon Base?"
"What if someone steals our home?"
After all, the moon now had not only the One-Eyed Species but also the Mi Guo Lunar Expedition Force.
Chen Daoyi also had a headache. The Moon Laurel Silver Vine was only at Diamond Rank!
Its strength was far from enough—it would be a sure theft!
Stealing from others felt great, but getting stolen from was definitely not fun!
Jiangnan grinned slyly: (΄◞ิ⌔◟ิ‵) "Steal? They wouldn't dare! Although Little Yueyue's level is a bit weak..."
"Making it look fierce will do the trick, right?"
With that, he pulled a plastic bag of Didiwei spray from his Alternate Dimension and shoved it into Chen Daoyi's hands.
The moment Chen Daoyi saw the pesticide bottle, his face twisted in terror!
He recalled the fear he had been dominated by!
୧(◞థᯅథ◟)୨ "No! Don't make me use this! I..."
Jiangnan rolled his eyes: "Who said you're using it? Take it and spray it on Little Yueyue! Spray it once every half hour!"
"Even if it gets itchy and acts up, you're a Dao Heaven—it can't beat you!"
Only then did Chen Daoyi breathe a sigh of relief. At least it wasn't for him!
(◞•︠ˍ•︡) "Wait... I spray it every half hour? Then how do I get back?"
Jiangnan spread his hands: ʅ(･´‸･｀)ʃ "I never said you were coming back with us, did I?"
"Stay put and guard the place. We'll be back soon, okay?"
Chen Daoyi: ???
Damn!
They're planning to leave a lone old man on the moon, 380,000 kilometers from Blue Star?
[From Chen Daoyi: Resentment +666!]
(◞ŏ﹏ŏ) "I... I'm scared! What if the One-Eyed King comes, or the Mi Guo Dao Heavens gang up on me? Then I..."
Jiangnan rolled his eyes again.
(′◔～◔`) "They'd be beating you, not me. Why are you afraid? Once I catch that Money Printing Bug as a spirit pet, you'll get the first share!"
Chen Daoyi hesitated: (′︵‵。) "Al... alright then. But you guys better come back quick! Don't forget me here!"
Hmm? Why does that sound wrong?
But he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
Jiangnan grinned, patted Chen Daoyi on the shoulder, and then led Li Bing, Alice, and the 108 One-Eyed Species samples to find Mo Mo and borrow a path.
Chen Daoyi clutched the Didiwei spray, feeling uneasy. Watching Jiangnan's group walk away, he called out.
(っ°口°;)っ "Come back soon!"
Jiangnan waved without looking back and left.
Before leaving, he specially planted a "No Entry" traffic sign outside the base.
And wrote a line of big characters on it with a marker.
Jiangning's eyes twitched. She was more curious about why Jiangnan even had a traffic sign in his Alternate Dimension.
Li Bing looked at the words on the sign and struggled to hold back her laughter.
(Oథжథ) "Are you sure Chen Daoyi won't beat you when he finds out what you wrote?"
Jiangnan casually put away the marker and rolled his eyes: "Can he beat me? He's tried before."
With that, he swaggered off with the group.
...
E Guo Hurricane spacecraft!
It was now flying around the moon at an astonishing speed, searching for a suitable landing spot.
The far side of the moon had the One-Eyed Species, and satellite images showed that Hua Xia and Mi Guo had chosen to land on the near side in the lunar seas.
The placement of the Star Ring was also very strategic.
After all, it would later involve territorial division between countries and battles with the One-Eyed Species.
This time, E Guo had fewer than a hundred people.
Most were combatants. In the core cabin,
many staff were surveying the lunar sea, while more people gathered at the portholes, looking at the moon and exclaiming in amazement.
Among them were Mo Mo and Hart.
Both were fully armed in spacesuits, looking at the magnificent moon.
But when they saw the thick black smoke billowing from the south, they were both dumbfounded.
Σ(°Д°;
What the hell? Did the moon catch fire?
The smoke had drifted into outer space? At this scale, it would probably be clearly visible from Blue Star, right?
"Suka blyat? What's going on? That seems to be the direction of the Moon Eye, right?"
"Earlier, ground reports said the moon flashed orange, blue, and purple, and now it's smoking? This lively?"
"Could it be related to Jiangnan? Hua Xia was the first to land on the moon this time!"
"Brother, you're overthinking! They only came with five people. What kind of waves could they make? Probably just scouting, taking the first step to save face. It's probably the work of the Mi Guo Lunar Expedition Force!"
In the core cabin, various guesses were being tossed around, with heated discussion and growing anxiety.
Along the way, Mo Mo had used teleportation many times to help the spacecraft speed up, otherwise they wouldn't have arrived so fast.
Hart listened to the chatter and clicked his tongue. You people really don't know that guy!
Just then, a staff member reported, "Selected location! Landing in the Sea of Rains, near the Ocean of Storms. From there, it'll be easier to explore the far side!"
"Lady Mo Mo? You can begin!"
Mo Mo nodded, raised her hand, and space split open. A Void Spirit Butterfly appeared.
(๑●～ŏ)っεïз
She turned to look at Hart, her eyes carrying a hint of nervousness and anticipation.
Hart grinned.
(•̆◡◉๑) "Don't worry! Even to the ends of the earth, I'll go with you! Even to the moon, it's the same!"
Mo Mo smiled sweetly, her nervousness gone.
The others looked at the two with a collective smirk.
(❝̆·̫̮❝̆) "Next time, say that in a private channel, not on the public frequency. It's so cheesy!"
Hart's expression froze, and he blushed.
But Mo Mo didn't care. She was about to control the Void Spirit Butterfly to bring the spacecraft down to the Sea of Rains.
But then, she looked in surprise at the cabin door.
What's going on? Space fluctuations? Is it a Bose Body from Saint Star?
"Ah bah!"
Hart's expression tightened: "Careful! Something's here!"
At those words, the entire cabin tensed up, everyone ready for combat.
Just then, a knock came from outside the cabin door.
"Knock knock knock!"
The people in the cabin were stunned.
What the hell? A knock?
This was in lunar orbit, with the spacecraft screaming along at 1.68 kilometers per second!
Who would be knocking?
At that moment, Jiangnan was clinging to the spacecraft, frantically knocking on the door.
(O･`⌂･´)ﾉΣ Door
"Hey hey hey! It's me! An old friend! Open up and let me in! I'm just visiting!"
"Open the door! Open the door! I know you're home!"
Li Bing covered her face: !!!
(ﾉ)﹏(ヾ) "He can't hear you!"
Visiting someone's spacecraft? You're really one of a kind!
Jiangnan thought about it, then ran to the porthole.
He tapped on the glass.
੧(#⚆⌂⚆)☛ "Yo! Mo Mo, Hart! You did come! Open up and let me in, I want to discuss something with you!"
At that moment, everyone inside the spacecraft noticed Jiangnan outside the window.
They wore expressions of utter horror.
(ʘ̆ωʘ̥̆‖) Holy crap!
It's Jiangnan! He's the one knocking outside?
So the rumor that Jiangnan manually cut the Zeus solar panels wasn't just gossip? If he can come knocking on spacecraft doors, what can't he do?
Holy crap! Solar panels!
The E Guo space team panicked and quickly looked through the porthole at their own solar panels.
Still there!
They let out a long sigh of relief.
Hart and Mo Mo were stunned. Speak of the devil and he appears.
What was he gesturing about outside the window?
Seeing Hart and Mo Mo staring blankly without reacting, Jiangnan rolled his eyes.
He directly opened a Space Wormhole, connecting the inside and outside of the cabin.
Half his body was already inside.
He opened his faceplate: (O°᷄д°᷅) "Open up! What are you thinking? Is this how you treat friends?"
But the spacecraft was rapidly depressurizing due to the Space Wormhole. The low-pressure alarm went off immediately.
Huge amounts of air leaked out through the Space Wormhole.
Hart: !!!
(ʘ̥̆口●|||) "Holy crap! I'll open it! I'll open it right now! Get out first! Or we'll lose all the air, damn it!"
