The feeling of weightlessness, intense discomfort.

Even though the design of the Floating City is different from that of a rocket, the existence of solidification magic provides Xu Nan with more operational possibilities. However, before leaving Earth's range, in order to take advantage of the Gravity Slingshot effect, Xu Nan cannot temporarily use the Floating City's magical gravity field to make himself more comfortable.

He forced himself to stay calm. Even if the Floating City exploded in the atmosphere, Xu Nan would have the magic carpet to protect him. But since he had promised to help with Didi's ride-hailing service, he naturally had to do his job as a driver!

Xu Nan silently observed the real-time feedback from the Floating City's reconnaissance system, occasionally browsing the forums of Lost Paradise, and discovered that this matter had not only sparked widespread discussion on Earth, but had also attracted attention in another world.

Although the Floating City was no longer visible in the Pro World when the Plane Funnel dissipated, the sight of Xu Nan rising from the ground still sparked discussion among the crowd.

On the Lyles Plain, the legend of Li GouDan, the lord of Yu Tuo Sang City, has become even more mysterious.

Xu Nan was not aware of the situation on Earth, but he guessed it was in complete chaos. Thousand Rays Society must be swamped with work. But these days, people are used to strange things happening all the time, and Xu Nan was just trying to cater to everyone's interests!

He wasn't trying to squeeze the Thirteenth Alchemy Center dry one last time. Although his act of landing on the moon draped in the national flag had already started to add a lot of Activity Points for Xu Nan!

[Activity Points +1000, from xxx]

Similar words kept flashing through Xu Nan's mind, and she felt quite comfortable. Although concealing her identity didn't earn her many points, they added up in the long run!

The Six-Nine Plan is about to begin, and I have to say goodbye to these Low-Level Alchemy Center. Thinking about it carefully, I feel a little reluctant to leave.

After all this time, you must have developed some feelings for the alchemy center staff who fought alongside you.

Will they feel sad when I leave?

Bored, Xu Nan started to let her mind wander.

Unbeknownst to him, in some corner of Lost Paradise, Sean was indeed deeply saddened.

Although being attacked by Xu Nan had become one of his daily tasks, after he painstakingly ported the subroutine and targeted the people in the Pro World with the Limit Up Measure, he suddenly realized that Xu Nan seemed to have run back to Earth to show off again!

And he even secretly installed a **!

Looking at the exploding Activity Points and the deserted Thirteenth Alchemy Center, Sean was overcome with grief.

He was actually used to it, but there was a sense of desolation in him as a loser.

In the end, he still couldn't stop Xu Nan from doing whatever she wanted.

He suddenly became very curious about this person.

Who exactly is this person who can accumulate so many Activity Points?

"Perhaps... I still know too little about Xu Nan."

"If I could find out what kind of language he speaks, if I could find out about his upbringing and personality... if I had more information, perhaps I could... win even once!"

Losing to Xu Nan has become a deep-seated regret for Sean.

He began frantically comparing data, using his privileges to compare and analyze various materials about Xu Nan.

Although Lost Paradise's system has host protection measures, Sean still managed to extract some useful information!

"The hottest topic on Earth right now is called 'Flying Floating City of China'!"

"And during the existence of the Twin Floating City, the Shadow Realm, the Pro World, and Earth just happened to overlap!"

"The Floating City Lord is named Li GouDan, also known as Zhou Shuren, and has used the alias Cheng Song... It must be Xu Nan!"

Sean's expression gradually became excited, and he organized all the information into a file folder.

Just then, Violet, whom we hadn't seen for a long time, appeared, as usual holding a cup of coffee.

"Sean? Is everything packed? Is there anything I can help you with?"

Sean shook his head silently, and perhaps thinking of something, he forced a smile.

Violet patted him on the shoulder. "It's okay, Sean, it's not your fault. You've done a great job, otherwise there wouldn't have been this personnel change."

"We'll do our best to address Xu Nan's issues. Your biggest problem is that you take things too seriously. Look, everyone else has gone home, but you're still working overtime, even on the eve of your resignation. This isn't good for your hairline."

Sean glanced at the time and sighed. Yes, it was 2:30 PM, and everyone had already left work.

I don't seem to be a real Ron Sorcerer at all.

"Xu Nan's Activity Points... are completely incalculable." Sean pointed to the big screen. "In our warehouse..."

"No need to be nervous." Violet smiled. "We have received assistance from the other alchemy centers. Although we may not be able to keep the truly valuable assets, at least we don't have to go bankrupt."

"Don't look at me with that surprised look. Just now, all the Low-Level Alchemy Center reached a mutual aid agreement, and we're all working together to satisfy Xu Nan's appetite. Although this isn't a long-term solution, at least we're not fighting alone anymore."

Sean was silent for a moment, then shook his head. "That would just drag everyone down with them... but it should be enough to handle this situation."

"Cheer up, Sean!" Violet comforted him. "Get up! I haven't congratulated you on your promotion to supervisor of the Intermediate Alchemy Center yet! How about we go grab a drink?"

"You deserve to treat yourself. Your superiors highly value your work ability, which is why they specially promoted you. You should be happy. You won't have to see Xu Nan again, right?"

Sean forced a smile:

"I will come back to visit often."

"Actually, life would be quite boring without such an opponent to outwit and outmaneuver."

He did it against his will.

"I'll come back to visit often!"

Xu Nan silently made up his mind, after all, these Low-Level Alchemy Center had accompanied him through his initial novice period.

The bat-themed, Black Ant- themed, and goblin-themed sets they offered brought back fond memories of my early days as a newbie warlock.

Unfortunately, after Six-Nine Plan was launched, the more financially powerful Intermediate Alchemy Center was put in charge of him.

I wonder how much wealth these Intermediate Alchemy Center will bestow upon me?

Xu Nan was so bored in space that she almost yawned.

It was only then that he realized that flying wasn't such a fun thing.

Once the Floating City reaches outer space, the Blazing Moon Program is activated. After Xu Nan completes several important manual operations, he simply waits for the moon's gravity to lure the Floating City in.

As for the passing America satellites, Xu Nan didn't bother to shoot them down. After all, with the invasion of the Pro Gods imminent, everyone should unite against the common enemy!

The Floating City has a unique oxygen and gravity system, and Xu Nan has completed his mission.

Yutuo Sang Plus is slowly leaving that blue planet and quietly approaching the mysterious moon.

Xu Nan climbed to the top of the city wall and quietly looked at the earth. Suddenly, a very serious question surfaced in his mind:

How should I get back?

Meow meow meow?

Xu Nan suddenly realized that things were in serious trouble!

He was only thinking about helping others get to the moon, but he didn't think about how he would get back himself!

Although the Floating City has everything, and one could definitely be self-sufficient and establish their own business on the moon, Xu Nan didn't want to spend the next few years of his life in a cold and lonely way!

"Damn it! That Wizard King tricked me again!"

Xu Nan was amazed by his own intelligence.

He was so engrossed in thinking about how cool it would be to open Floating City and go to the moon that he was completely absorbed in it and didn't even think about how to get back!

Magic carpet?

That's not enough; interplanetary travel is beyond the capabilities of the magic carpet. And magic is even more out of the question— Xu Nan is only a level six warlock, and he's even been held captive by the Protoss as a level one Initiate Sorcerer!

Should he ask Chang'e 5 for help? Impossible, besides, Chang'e 5 doesn't have a return-to-home function, and Xu Nan wouldn't want to expose his identity like that!

He fell into deep thought.

The landing of the Floating City went very smoothly. Just like in the legends, the moon was barren. Following the route designed by the control center, Xu Nan successfully landed the Twin Floating City on a crater on the far side of the moon.

After the Yutuo Sang Plus is deployed, a basic semi-dormant, semi-protective procedure will be activated, and the cluster will become a forbidden area that is difficult for ordinary people to access.

After fulfilling his request and entrusting the Shadow Realm mercenaries to Sherry, Xu Nan prepared to make his escape.

He thought for a while but still couldn't come up with a good solution, so he took a nap.

In his dream, he arrived in the Azure Dreamland!

"Xu Nan! Xu Nan! I heard you went to the moon?"

A large eagle swooped down and pinned Xu Nan's oriole to the ground.

Xu Nan was very annoyed. "What's wrong with going to the moon? Why aren't you resting in the hospital? What are you doing here?"

"Then you're not..." The eagle's eyes darted around, "... implying that you're Chang'e?"

Xu Nan looked completely bewildered.

He wanted to find the Protoss to communicate with them. Since they could throw him all over the world, they should be able to bring him back from the moon, right?

Just then, Turkey A'Tu, who had been working diligently all along, suddenly roared:

"The evil spirits are attacking!"

"Protect the Blue Crystal Mine immediately!"

Xu Nan was overjoyed, even bursting into tears: I've waited so long, and finally the evil spirits have attacked!

Without saying a word, he ran into the Blue Crystal pillar!

He hadn't had the chance before to hear from Elder Sister Nightingale that the Blue Crystal Pillar was the key to communicating with the spirits of Bird Village, and that those with great fortune could go in and take advantage of the chaos!

Xu Nan felt he had to talk to the Celestials!

As a result, he bumped headfirst into a strange statue!

It was an ugly figure with a wide grin, its feet mechanically pedaling wheels, while familiar music came from all directions.

Xu Nan stood there, stunned.

The space inside the Blue Crystal Pillar was very strange, Xu Nan felt that the huge, ugly statue looked somewhat familiar.

He remembered that when he was very young, he seemed to have collected a music box, and the ugly thing in that music box looked just like this.

Exactly the same.

He wandered around the ugly statue for a while, and was just about to look elsewhere when a comical voice rang out:

"Hey buddy, you're pretty good at disguising yourself. You're from the evil ghost camp. If you weren't charging around like you were being reincarnated, I would have really thought you were from Bird Village!"

Xu Nan turned around, and a muscular man with a strange pink fleshy object wrapped around his waist smiled gently at him.

...!
