Chapter 1474: Silver Moon City
"Pat~"
The button on Xia Yao's shirt, who was sitting on the bed earnestly cultivating, suddenly popped open!
The button flew far away, hit the wall, and even shattered the makeup mirror!
Xia Yao let out a cry of surprise!
Jiangnan, who had been sleeping soundly, suddenly returned to his normal size!
He fell out from her bosom, his head hitting the floor, which woke him up.
He rubbed his eyes.
(ૢ⁼̴̤̆～ก) "Mm~ Da Lang Mie? How long did I sleep? Why are you... *hiss*~"
At this moment, Jiangnan's eyes widened suddenly, looking at Xia Yao in shock!
Σ(♡口♡ૢ)
Any remaining drowsiness was completely swept away!
The Small Whip immediately activated its Blood Drain skill to ensure the surging blood wouldn't burst through the capillaries of his nasal mucosa and flow out!
Not a single drop of blood was wasted!
Xia Yao was also stunned for a moment. Xiao Nan?
She had forgotten about that. Seeing Jiangnan's round, glistening eyes, she couldn't help but smirk mischievously.
(˵ಡ.̫ಡ˵) "Oh my? Looking so seriously? How was it? Slept comfortably?"
Jiangnan: !!!
Damn! No wonder he felt warm—he had been sleeping in Da Lang Mie's bosom?
Because Jiangnan could clearly see the drool he had left on her while sleeping!
Jiangnan's face turned red, and he quickly turned away.
(ﾉ)⋟﹏⋞) "Qu-quickly cover up, this isn't good~"
Xia Yao covered her mouth with her hand.
(*ಡლಡ) "Oh ho ho~ Are you shy? We're an old married couple, what scenes haven't you seen?"
Jiangnan: ???
What the hell "old married couple"? How does it seem like we've been married for decades?
Jiangnan's expression turned serious.
(O･᷅◠･᷄) "I'm not shy, but this seems a bit... unlucky."
Xia Yao was bewildered as she slowly buttoned up.
(๑•̌～•̑)ˀ̣ˀ̣ "How is it unlucky?"
Since when did Xiao Nan believe in such things?
Jiangnan: (︶◡︶O) "After all, encountering a 'big chest omen' right after waking up in the morning—my day might be quite rough or something?"
Xia Yao's eye twitched. She went up and gave Jiangnan a headbutt.
What the hell "big chest omen"? Why do I feel like you're complimenting me, yet I can't be happy at all!
(乛◠乛٥) "Then if you ran into Sister Mo Tian, would you just drop dead?"
Jiangnan said seriously: (๑•̀◠•́)و "Very possible!"
Probably die from excessive blood loss!
(◕ˇ◡ˇ◕) "But if I run into Nightingale, there's no fear—after all, her flat, boundless runway is a 'great fortune omen'!"
"That would definitely bring good luck all day long!"
Xia Yao: !!!
At that moment, Xia Yao frantically winked at Jiangnan.
(๑◔﹏◔ิ๑) Shh!
Shh!
[From Nightingale: Resentment +1000!]
Unknown when, the door had opened a crack!
Nightingale was already outside the door, her eyes blazing with fire, grinding her tiger teeth.
( ̿’皿’ ̿)
Jiangnan shuddered violently. His sixth sense for danger gave him goosebumps all over.
Just as he was about to turn around, a sharp dagger was already pressed against his neck!
Nightingale rested her chin on Jiangnan's shoulder, wearing a dangerously sweet smile.
(ꐦ°᷄◡°᷅) "Oh? Is that so? But I think you're about to be in big trouble."
Jiangnan: !!!
Damn! Is it really this unlucky? Nightingale is faster than Cao Cao!
Arrives the moment you mention her?
Today really is a bad omen!
Jiangnan's expression turned serious.
(•̆◠•̆๑) "Ten small puddings. I'll let this slide today!"
Nightingale tightened her dagger, glaring.
(ꐦᵒ̌益ᵒ̌) "A hundred!"
Jiangnan: (´-﹏-`；)...
"Fine, fine~"
Carrying a plastic bag of small puddings, Nightingale had a smug little expression.
(ૢ⁼̴̤̆ꇴ⁼̴̤̆) "The Secretary-General sent me to see if you were awake. Said they caught a captive from the Hong Kingdom, might be here to scout core secrets. Wants you to take a look and decide what to do."
Jiangnan was taken aback: (·•᷄ࡇ•᷅`) "Captive? What captive? Did Liuhua get caught again?"
So this is the real reason Qian Benying was sending resentment points?
Nightingale popped a small pudding into her mouth to broaden her chest, elevating herself to... um~
About the level of a yuzu-level One-Eyed species?
"You'll see when you go."
Jiangnan changed into clean clothes, his fatigue gone, and stretched hard.
Then he followed Nightingale and Xia Yao out of the dormitory building.
As soon as he came out, Jiangnan's eyes bulged in shock!
∑(°口°๑) "Wh-where the hell is this?"
Before him was a flat, wide street, entirely made of alloy plates engraved with incantation arrays simulating Blue Star's gravity.
Looking up, the azure planet hung high in the dark starry sky!
Jiangnan was terrified!
‼(•'口'•۶)۶ "Th-this is the Moon's Storm Ocean?"
"Da Lang Mie? How long did I sleep? Did I get severely injured in the battle with the Bose body, fall into a coma, and get brain damage?"
"Waking up three years later, dominating the world, king's return, vowing to reclaim everything lost. Those who bullied and humiliated me will..."
"Ouch!"
Before he finished, Xia Yao hit him on the head. He covered his head, dazed.
୧(☍﹏⁰。)୨ Pain~
Xia Yao rolled her eyes.
(꒪ͦ～꒪ͦ๑) "Xiao Nan, did you sleep yourself stupid? What three years? What king's return? You've only slept about 24 hours?"
Jiangnan was stunned!
Before him was already a fully modern technological city!
Residential areas, military bases, signal towers, radar arrays, training zones, experimental zones!
Large equipment manufacturing plants, energy supply stations!
And at the very center of the city stood a nearly kilometer-tall silver laurel vine!
Like a world tree, its level had reached a terrifying Star Glory Eight Stars!
The silver laurel forest had already spread over a hundred kilometers and was still expanding at an astonishing rate!
Under the tree roots, a 30-meter-diameter space vortex formed the teleportation point of the Star Gate!
Massive supply trucks drove out from within, roaring past toward the city's edges.
In the sky, squads of logistics soldiers on flying sword skateboards hurried past.
The city's edge was still expanding at an incredible speed, and the entire city was enveloped by a replicated God-Slaying Spell Array!
Covering a radius of 30 kilometers, as more spell pillars were replicated over time, the coverage would increase dramatically.
Even more terrifying—there was a WiFi signal in the city. Connect and surf the web—even 5G network!
Jiangnan pointed at the city dumbfounded.
(°口°๑)☛ "24 hours? Brother Jian built me a city?"
Nightingale snickered: (๑⁍̴ᴗ⁍̴) "You think our great Hua Xia's construction skills are for nothing? Do you know how many departments on Blue Star are working hard for the Moon Embrace Plan?"
"Many things were planned and prepared in advance."
"You risked your life to open the gate to the moon, taking the crucial first step. Naturally, we won't drop the ball."
Jiangnan swallowed hard.
(•́ω•̀٥) "The infrastructure maniacs are too fierce!"
Sleeping for 24 hours gave Jiangnan a feeling of time travel.
Who would have thought that this was once a barren lunar sea?
The three chatted as they walked. Everyone who passed by looked at Jiangnan with reverence, some even giving thumbs up.
It made Jiangnan a bit embarrassed.
Turning his head, Jiangnan saw the huge fountain square in the city center.
He was stunned.
"No way? You even built a small fountain? Isn't that too extravagant?"
In the square center stood a statue carved from hard lunar rock.
It was the five-man flower-planting squad of Jiangnan's team!
On the statue, the five were wearing spacesuits. Jiangnan was on his knees, holding a handful of lunar soil, looking profound.
Below the statue was a line of bold, flowing calligraphy:
"The beginning of Hua Xia on the moon, the starting point of the story, the origin of everything."
"Don't forget the well-digger when drinking water. The first to land on the moon is Nan Shen."
"In commemoration—..."
Below were dense lines of small text recording the entire process from the team's decision to land on the moon to overcoming various difficulties and finally succeeding.
The writing was flowery, emotional, and stirring—enough to give one goosebumps.
At the very bottom was the author's signature: a person named Yi Qingfeng, unknown who that was.
Jiangnan glared: (งᵒ̌皿ᵒ̌)ง "Damn it! I'm going to smash it!"
"Don't write about me cutting solar panels and kneeling exhausted on the moon! I need face, okay?"
Nightingale and Xia Yao quickly rushed to hold Jiangnan back!
(•'﹏'•۶)۶(งᵒ̌口ᵒ̌)ง
"Don't! Don't act rashly! The Secretary-General said it must be recorded like this, no embellishment, because it's more real!"
"After all, who knows how many years later, future generations will see this—it's history. History can't be fabricated; it must be true!"
Jiangnan: !!!
٩(๑`⌂´๑)۶ "But this is too damn real! What kind of crappy statue is this? Can't you carve a cool scene?"
"Damn it!"
Like this, future history books might record that Jiangnan was the first to land on the moon, kneeling as he took the first step!
And maybe teachers would bring a bunch of students to visit. Seeing this, those students would definitely laugh their noses off!
Xia Yao was holding back laughter, face red.
(｡థжథ)σ "Pfft~ Don't be sad. That moment of Xiao Nan was the coolest!"
Jiangnan: !!!
I don't believe you! If it's cool, why are you laughing?
"Where's Brother Jian? I'm going to fight him!"
Saying this, he rushed all the way to the military base and found Yang Jian.
Yang Jian was still making development plans and coordinating departmental work.
Seeing Jiangnan, Yang Jian's eyes lit up.
(｡･ˇ͜ʖˇ･) "Awake? How are you? The city's not bad, right?"
Jiangnan glared: (ꐦ`口´) "You're still happy? That statue has to be removed! I'm not married yet. If you do this, how am I supposed to find a wife?"
Yang Jian: ???
Can't find a wife? Are you serious?
Yang Jian waved his hand: "What are you panicking about? As the first Hua Xia person to land on the moon, you laid the foundation for the Hua Xia lunar base! This is a turning point in history!"
"Of course it should be recorded! No matter how big this place develops in the future, you, Jiangnan, carved it out!"
"Future generations will only have endless respect for you, remembering their ancestors. How could they laugh at you?"
"You even advanced Hua Xia's historical process. You deserve to be recorded and praised! Heroes should never be nameless."
Jiangnan was stunned, scratching his head sheepishly.
୧(ૢ⁼̴̤̆ꇴ⁼̴̤̆) "N-not that amazing. Just average amazing. It's everyone's credit. Everyone did well. Hehe~ hehehe~"
Xia Yao: (≖‸≖)...
Done. This guy is already floating, completely forgetting his earlier insistence!
Yang Jian smiled in satisfaction: "Don't be modest. Without the Star Gate and the teleportation establishment, this city wouldn't exist. So you get to name this city!"
"Just like the predecessors who named the ranks, the pathfinder should have naming rights."
Jiangnan swallowed, filled with inexplicable excitement.
Naming the first city Hua Xia built on the moon?
"Silver laurel reaching the sky, settled on the moon, under its shade, forge the city and set sail!"
"Let's call it Silver Moon City!"
