Yu Tuo Sang Moon Landing Program!

This is a complete scheme designed through meticulous calculations, based on the instructions of the Wizard King, for the control center of the two Floating City.

According to the Wizard King's laws, the Arcane Empire is still struggling in the spacetime turbulence, including the immortal Wizard King himself, who is still fighting some terrifying Star Beast in the depths of spacetime.

While the invasion of Earth by the Pro Gods presents a good opportunity for the Arcane Empire to return, it is clearly not the right time yet.

They longed for allies on Earth, but worried that the sleeping Princess Selena wouldn't be able to control the situation.

Xu Nan didn't want to be the first to step forward so early. Did he really think that Yu Tuo Sang was a good job? If he wasn't careful, he would be beheaded by the Pro Gods!

"There are too many conflicts on Earth, and what we need to do now is not to take the initiative, but to passively wait for the right opportunity."

"Because of some special reasons, Yu Tuo Sang appeared in the world ahead of schedule. I hope it can maintain a detached attitude and not be disturbed by the outside world."

"Therefore... it makes perfect sense to set up the location on your satellite."

Faced with the Wizard King's statement, Xu Nan fell into deep thought.

Although he didn't know where the Arcane Empire's main force was now, Xu Nan knew perfectly well that these treacherous guys were probably using the invasion of Earth by the Pro Gods as their last chance to retaliate.

The exile and all the humiliation and shame endured back then were for this.

Otherwise, the Wizard King wouldn't have bothered to video chat with himself across countless billions of light-years and time.

Temporarily placing Yu Tuo Sang on the moon seems to be the best option.

But the question is, what can I get out of it?

Xu Nan spoke frankly.

Although he was Blue Feather Knight of the Arcane Empire, he was still Ron Sorcerer who wouldn't do anything without a profit. You see, piloting Floating City isn't a simple matter; it definitely involves a lot of risks. Otherwise, anyone in Yu Tuo Sang could have done it... Hmm, Xu Nan thought about it carefully, and it seemed that wasn't entirely unreasonable.

The only capable Princess is still asleep, and the rest are old, weak, sick, and disabled: the goblin grandfather with his reading glasses always running around, the weathered golem that seems to be nearing the end of its life... We can't let the cleaning lady who likes to carry the baby drive it, can we?

Although Driver are generally considered the rulers of the road, and speed is another matter, the already risky lunar landing program may not be able to withstand Sherry's antics.

Upon reflection, Xu Nan was surprised to discover that it was actually true that he was the best candidate to become the Wizard King!

At least I passed the Driving Test Part Two my driving test, so reversing into a parking space shouldn't be a big problem.

"The Arcane Empire will not let its allies make sacrifices for nothing. Here's what we'll do: if you promise to successfully Yu Tuo Sang on the moon, I can answer one question for you."

The Wizard King's eyes gleamed with the wisdom of ages past. "You can think about this matter carefully..."

"I've made up my mind. Can you tell me what's going on with the Protoss on Earth? I have a feeling they're targeting me!" Xu Nan raised his hand immediately.

The Wizard King remained silent.

Xu Nan looked at him suspiciously.

The Wizard King was embarrassed; he nervously flickered the images, and suddenly his pupils dilated, his gaze losing focus.

"What? I'm currently engaged in a battle with Star Beast! The signal is bad..."

Xu Nan: "Then you should find someone else! I think Sherry is pretty good, but I'm worried that when she's controlling the control system, her breasts might be too big and she'll be swinging the steering wheel!"

The Wizard King said helplessly, "... Please ask another question. I can't answer this one. The Protoss of each world are involved in things like world lines and destiny. It's too complicated. You wouldn't understand even if I explained it to you."

Xu Nan expressed her understanding. "Alright, then tell me where Ron's grave is!"

As a warlock, of course you have to maintain enough curiosity about your ancestors! In fact, every Ron Sorcerer has a consensus... the ancestors who were able to develop such a powerful bloodline must have been super overlords who were incredibly powerful and richer than the universe.

Being able to visit his grave and offer incense is the greatest wish of every Ron Sorcerer. As for whether they might steal something from the tomb while offering incense, that's not good; it depends on how well the tomb's defensive magic is set up.

Of course, digging up one's own ancestral graves is just a thought; there's never actually been a chance to do it.

As for Xu Nan, he was certainly different from other sorcerers. How could he be so disrespectful as to be interested in Ron's wealth?

He was just annoyed by the constant arguments on the forums from his fellow countrymen about whether Ron's true form was a god from another dimension or a demon who created the world, and he wanted to help verify it!

The Wizard King of the Arcane Empire is said to be omniscient and omnipotent; he should know about this kind of thing!

As soon as he finished speaking, the signal on the other end started to go bad again.

After Xu Nan threatened to quit again, the Wizard King was finally at his wits' end.

"Ron's tomb... heh... let me think about the first question!"

Xu Nan thought to herself, "Are all the questions I ask so sensitive? Then I'll ask one that's not so sensitive."

"So when are you going to come back and deal with those Pro Gods?" Xu Nan asked.

The Wizard King's smile vanished completely.

"I cannot answer any of the three questions you have asked," Wizard King.

Xu Nan was shocked. "Then what's the difference between you and Baidu? For other questions, I might as well search online or use my own Lost Paradise's Bloodline Knowledge Search!"

"But I can give you some hints for each question," the Wizard King said, a sudden inspiration striking him. "Giving you a hint for each question is like answering one question, right?"

Xu Nan was deeply shocked by this shameless practice of paying him in smaller amounts.

He couldn't help but wonder, since many things in Lost Paradise were copied from the Arcane Empire, was this shamelessness also learned from the Wizard King?

When he thought about it that way, it seemed quite reasonable! It also made sense logically.

However, Xu Nan also realized that the Wizard King probably wouldn't be able to answer the three questions he asked. He was just trying his luck, and it would be good if he could get some hints.

After all, Yu Tuo Sang to the moon also aligns with Xu Nan's own interests.

The High-imitation Floating City is still inseparable from Yu Tuo Sang. Xu Nan, who calls himself the lord of the Floating City, naturally cannot just abandon it.

The Wizard King gave Xu Nan three brocade pouches, each containing a hint about a question.

"Tomorrow at noon is the best time to land on the moon. By utilizing the Gravitational Slingshot Effect generated when the Plane Funnel dissipates between Earth and the Pro World, you can easily obtain a powerful thrust to Yu Tuo Sang toward the moon!"

"I entrust everything to you!"

Wizard King ran away as soon as he finished speaking, afraid that Xu Nan would drag him down and ask him a million questions.

Xu Nan was content with the brocade pouch.

He opened a brocade pouch next to his, and the Wizard King's answer to the question about the Earth Star Spirit was:

[%&...%*&...*%&...%*&]

Xu Nan was so angry she almost tore the brocade pouch apart!

"Does being the Wizard King give you the right to look down on people? Are you taking advantage of me because I don't understand Ancient Elven?"

Xu Nan, filled with righteous indignation, ran to the Lost Paradise Trading Market and searched for a long time before finally finding a book on the basics of Ancient Elven.

When he saw the price, 100 Constant Gold Coin, it was indeed a bit too high. Even Xu Nan, who had just finished the campaign dungeon, found it a bit unaffordable.

He gritted his teeth and bought it, then picked it up and started chewing on it, but he couldn't chew it after only a few bites!

[You used 1 fragment of "Simple Ancient Elven Recognition", your Linguistics - Ancient Elven +15]

[Because the knowledge you have consumed is too obscure, your Gluttonous Nature cannot digest it for the time being. Please protect your stomach and intestines, enhance your brain, and wait until digestion is complete before consuming again...]

Xu Nan sighed deeply and wiped away her tears.

No wonder warlocks are always looked down upon, especially by their fellow mages. There's a reason for it!

I'm already so awesome, yet I always suffer from my lack of education. When I have kids in the future, I'll definitely buy them a ton of books and make sure they study hard, instead of relying on their Bloodline Power.

The following day at noon, the temporary driver's cab of Yutuo Sang Plus.

The control hubs for the two Floating City are located to Xu Nan's left and right, allowing him to manipulate the parameters on both sides at any time.

Strictly speaking, the control center of the two Floating City is still the one that truly completes the lunar landing process, but a pilot is still needed to make a decision when the control center is unable to make a judgment.

This important task fell to Xu Nan.

"Go for it! Please!"

Even the cleaning lady came to cheer Xu Nan on, and Xu Nan gave her a thumbs up:

"Let's begin."

"The Plane Funnel has begun to dissipate; let the world witness China's aerospace power!"

Xu Nan sat in a chair, watching Sherry hide in the safe house. The mercenaries from the Shadow Realm had already hidden in the basement.

He suddenly felt lonely.

Over there, the control room has already given the indicators: the Plane Funnel is dissipating, and now is the perfect time to launch the Floating City!

Boom!

At that moment, a loud bang was heard from the ground.

The entire waters of Five Yang Lake trembled, and the members of the Thousand Rays Society, who were fiercely fighting the evil dragon, watched in horror as the darkness shrouding the unknown land slowly dissipated.

A dazzling white light shot up from the ground and then launched an unstoppable attack into the sky!

Soon, the whole of China and the whole world were shaken!

Everyone was talking about the Twin Floating City that had risen off the ground!

Soon, satellite signals from various countries confirmed the matter.

This incident caused a huge uproar online because everyone clearly saw a Five-Starred Red Flag fluttering in the wind somewhere on the outskirts of the Floating City!

"Who is this person? Is he really that patriotic?!"

Everyone speculated that there must be someone on the Floating City.

Some national agencies tried to intercept it using extreme methods, but Xu Nan took off too quickly. With the help of Gravity Slingshot, he reached above the stratosphere in no time!

As for why the national flag was displayed, well, Xu Nan mainly didn't want people to see that annoying dog head, and secondly, he wanted to show off his national pride...

He knew that his moon landing would definitely spark a huge discussion, and he might even be photographed.

He even copied down his pretentious lines. "This is one giant leap for mankind, but one giant leap for me!"

I'm just waiting for the reporters to interview me; I'm getting really excited!

...!
