Hearing the system notification, Li Xingkong finally breathed a sigh of relief; another hurdle on his cultivation path had been overcome.
To be honest, this assessment wasn't particularly difficult for Li Xingkong. Although it was called an assessment, given his original cultivation progress, reaching this level would have been a very smooth process.
Actually, the previous assessments weren't that difficult. The assessments given by the system generally share one characteristic: as long as you are truly practicing diligently and solidifying your foundation step by step, you should already have the ability to pass the assessment when it comes time to take it.
However, if you only focus on speed during your cultivation and neglect to solidify your foundation in order to increase the speed of your cultivation, you will basically be stuck there when it comes to the assessment.
The modern education system was originally designed this way: three years of study, as long as you seriously build a solid foundation, you can basically pass the final exam with ease. However, due to the large number of students, and the fact that education not only imparts knowledge but also relates to a person's future, people in this system are becoming extremely competitive, which has ultimately distorted the entire system.
Fortunately, Li Xingkong, and there is no one competing with him, so the tests given by the system are relatively simple for him.
"You'll be going to middle school soon, what are your thoughts?"
The system appeared at this moment, and it was very confident that Li Xingkong would pass the test smoothly. Li Xingkong had always been very serious about his cultivation and had never been perfunctory. With this mindset and the learning ability assisted by the system, there was no way he could fail the test.
If Li Xingkong were someone who only worked sporadically, he probably wouldn't even reach the Qi Foundation Establishment stage, let alone the Qi Refining stage.
"It was just so-so, nothing special."
Li Xingkong spoke lightly, but the corners of his mouth were practically smirking uncontrollably.
"6. I would have believed you if you had looked a little calmer when you said that."
The system bluntly exposed his lie.
"Are you ready? If you are, I'll start distributing the Foundation Establishment Method to you."
Now that Li Xingkong has passed the test, the Foundation Establishment cultivation method can be put on the agenda.
"Wait, now's not really the right time."
Although he was very interested in the new stage of cultivation, Li Xingkong had not forgotten that he was still on the moon, and the first group of lunar landing personnel were still watching him.
This is clearly not a suitable time to absorb knowledge.
" Brother Li."
At this moment, a person dressed in strange clothes emerged from a cave next to Moon-Chasing Island. Upon seeing Li Xingkong, he called out and ran over.
Li Xingkong recognized Tang Cheng's voice, but he was still shocked by his clothes.
What a strange outfit! It looks a bit like the clothing of Divine Land people, but with a hint of barbarity mixed in.
His clothes didn't cover his entire body; his hands and feet were exposed, revealing a muscular physique with sharp, defined lines that gave him a strong and muscular appearance.
" Brother Li, you're finally here."
Arriving beside Li Xingkong, Tang Cheng was overjoyed to see a familiar face from Earth Star; a sense of relief enveloped him.
"What's with your outfit? It looks weird."
I hadn't seen Tang Cheng for a few days, and he looked completely different. I remembered him as very thin, but now he seemed to have grown quite a bit stronger.
"Isn't this the Xi People? Our fashion designer created this, what do you think?"
Tang Cheng spread his arms and spun around in place.
"Yes, it has a kind of primal beauty."
Li Xingkong genuinely couldn't appreciate it.
"To be honest, I agree. But the designer of this thing is an ancient culture scholar, so it's normal that it lacks aesthetic appeal. We can revise it later."
Tang Cheng also made a few complaints.
"Speaking of which, you've been on the moon for quite a while now, haven't you? How's life here?"
The first group of people have been living on the moon for some time now. Counting from where Li Xingkong discovered the footprints, their exploration footprints have covered an area of 20 kilometers around, which is already a very large area.
Although the gravity on the moon is lower than on Earth Star, a round trip of 40 kilometers is still quite a distance from the perspective of human exploration.
"I really want to go back to Earth Star, it's so boring here."
Tang Cheng sighed. The first fourteen people to land on the moon each had their own missions, but Tang Cheng's mission was very small, since he was creating languages, which could be done on Earth Star.
After arriving here, he participated in almost every team's mission.
Two geologists, obsessed with studying the moon's ecology, would disappear early every morning with their shovels, only returning at night with a bucket of lunar soil. They were jokingly called two tomb raiders.
After the soldiers arrived, they worked on the construction of the base. Before the moon landing, Tang Cheng thought they were there to be bodyguards for others, but after landing on the moon, he discovered that they were genuine engineering soldiers.
The existing lunar base and these temporary caves were all developed by them.
Even the building in the Xi People style that has already been designed and built in the base was erected by them.
The two professional astronomers also Heavenly Capital. They set up a small camp on a high mountain next to the base and spent the last two days there, carrying only some essential living supplies and astronomical telescopes. Their daily routine consisted of observing the lunar sky and studying the vacuum environment.
Finally, there were the two botanists who arrived early. Since Li Xingkong hadn't arrived yet, their research couldn't begin, so exploring the area around the base became their task.
The exploration of the surrounding 20-kilometer radius, and the countless footprints, were all discovered by the two of them and Tang Cheng.
Because they had nothing to do all day and were always running around, Tang Cheng gave the three of them a nickname: the three who should be running around.
"The biggest pain on the moon is boredom. There are only fourteen of us, no one else, no other living beings, nothing at all."
While rambling on and on to Li Xingkong about what this large group of people had been doing on the moon these past few days, he also complained about how boring life was here.
"It's like a giant prison, locking all of us up there. It was quite novel at first, but now it's just boring."
"Every day when I open my eyes, all I see is grayish-white lunar soil; when I close my eyes, all I see is grayish-white lunar soil. I feel like I'm developing snow syndrome."
Of course, all joking aside, if you asked him to go back to Earth Star right now, he would definitely cry and beg rather than go back.
