Even Li Xingkong couldn't hold back his emotions after seeing all this stuff.
With that level of skill, why didn't they bring Tang Cheng with them when they went to the moon? They could have just taken the author with them!
Aside from this pile of things that Li Xingkong found jarring to look at again, there was also a book among the textbooks that appeared to be written in alien script.
Li Xingkong knows the universal language, but the language in this book is clearly not universal. Whether from the font or the illustrations and descriptions in the book, the writing has absolutely nothing to do with universal.
"What's this?"
Li Xingkong opened the book and flipped through a few pages.
"This is the language of the Sihali Kingdom, and it's now a compulsory subject in schools."
The boy quickly answered, and before Li Xingkong questions, he went on to explain the book's origin.
"This foreign language course was added to the compulsory curriculum a long time ago. I heard that the Sihali Kingdom is a powerful civilization in the universe, and they were the ones who led us into the Convention. They are our natural ally in the universe, which is why this course was added."
"Isn't there a universal language? Why don't you guys learn that?"
Li Xingkong rubbed his temples. This matter was getting more and more complicated. How could the Divine Land be in this state and still have anything to do with the Sihali Kingdom?
"Common language is used to communicate with aliens; we're not monks, so we don't have that opportunity."
The boy's voice was noticeably softer.
"But the people of the Sihali Kingdom have invested in many companies in our Solar System. If our science grades are strong, we still have a chance to join their companies."
"Investment companies? Then tell me about the companies you invest in?"
Li Xingkong had read through the textbook once, and his understanding of this foreign language was already much better than that of these young people.
The book is indeed an ordinary textbook, without any brainwashing or promotion of other ideologies; it is quite simple and straightforward.
But its very presence here is problematic. In any case, with the universal language already widely used, learning this language is definitely not a good choice; it would mean being deeply tied to the Sihali Kingdom.
"There are many, such as the Node Network Computation Institute, the Supreme Projection, the Gene Reconstruction Court, the Dark Court Academy of Sciences..."
The boy counted off names on his fingers, one after another, names he had never heard of before.
"They all seem to be research institutions? And some internet-related industries."
Li Xingkong found a common thread in them, but he didn't quite understand it.
Why would such an important institution be located in the Solar System? What is it about them that would make them travel such a long distance?
Besides, can these research projects really be run by people who have only studied a few basic science books?
Li Xingkong glanced at his old science textbooks again. While these things were indeed much more advanced than those on Earth Star when he was in seclusion, their advantages were still limited.
Can you really conduct scientific research with this junk? I bet you'd be the one getting studied if you went there.
How many people around you have gone to work for these companies?
After Li Xingkong boys finished scolding him, he asked another question.
"Not too many, not too few. Most of the students with better grades went, but those who weren't so good at studying didn't have the opportunity. Fortunately, our Divine Land is vast and rich in resources, so even without a job, we can still live quite well."
These "good students" who went to work in companies should have been the objects of their greatest envy, but with the monk's interference, these so-called "good students" are nothing more than laborers.
Li Xingkong organized the intelligence he had gathered, and then casually transmitted the basic cultivation methods into the heads of the group.
"Alright, you can go now. Since you're qualified to hold this position, you should be more cautious for now and focus on your cultivation."
Even after the barriers around them were removed, the few who had received Li Xingkong's inheritance were still somewhat dazed.
This was just an ordinary day; they were simply going to and from school. Suddenly, things related to cultivation appeared in their minds, which was quite unexpected.
Pinch me, let me see if this is a dream.
The girl rubbed her head, seemingly still doubting whether her experience was real or not.
Looking up to see the cultivator again, he found himself already back on the street, as if the cultivator had never appeared at all.
However, when she turned around and met the boy's eyes, the surprise and astonishment in his gaze confirmed that they had indeed encountered a predestined connection.
Seeing the group's panicked and suspicious expressions, and their hurried departure with eyes darting around like spies, Li Xingkong did not leave immediately.
As I said before, these people are in too low a position. All they can see is what others want them to see. As for how these things develop behind the scenes, they have no way of knowing.
Were the things they gleaned useful? Of course they were. If it weren't for these trivial pieces of information, Li Xingkong probably wouldn't have known that Divine Land would have developed in this way.
After sorting through what he had gathered, Li Xingkong an urge to rush to the moon right now and find someone to get to the bottom of things.
But after thinking about it, he suppressed the impulse. He hadn't figured out the matter yet, and being too impulsive would be a bad thing.
To figure things out, you'll have to ask someone who knows all about it.
Li Xingkong planned to first go and find some old acquaintances of his.
Old Tang, Tang Cheng, or Zhang Yumeng —it doesn't matter who it is. With Divine Land developed to this state, do they really not know anything about it?
Rising abruptly from the surface of Mercury, Li Xingkong deliberately concealed his identity, not intending to contact the current Divine Land under his own name until the situation was thoroughly investigated.
Upon entering space, Li Xingkong flew towards Earth Star at an extremely high speed, passing Venus and glancing at it briefly.
Venus is much the same as before, with countless battlefields still packed with people coming to fight. However, compared to before, the number of aliens on the surface of Venus is now significantly greater.
Around Venus, many orbital buildings have sprung up, most of which are simply replicas of casinos, along with some bars and mercenary management halls.
Spaceships came and went in a long line, making this place seem like the liveliest entertainment street in the entire Solar System.
Li Xingkong paused briefly, glanced around, and then a dilapidated little spaceship came up to him. The spaceship's door opened, and a flamboyantly dressed alien approached him.
"Hey friend, need some money?"
Li Xingkong was shocked. What kind of space scalper is this?!
He quickly waved his hand, intending to push the guy away.
"No, no rush, friend. No need for money, just want to rest? We have hourly rooms available, and young ladies too."
Seeing that Li Xingkong was ignoring him, this guy immediately switched to other tasks.
Damn it, she's not just a scalper, she's a brothel madam!
