"I can use copied skills in battle, but not my original ones. There's no time limit for being transformed into the black mist, only completely dispersing it ends it. Once it ends, if the copied skills haven't been saved, they will disappear."
Li Changzhou exited his transformation, appearing as if he was stepping out of a black mist—of course, he had been sitting the whole time.
"It seems there's still a lot of room for improvement," Turquoise Pool commented.
"Let's talk about that in the future, take a good rest today." Li Changzhou laughed and placed a piece of beef onto Yang Qinglan's plate.
Turquoise Pool initially wanted to ask about the Golden Crown, but hearing him say that, she let it go.
"Bro, I want some too~" Li Qianxia passed her bowl over.
"Don't you have hands?" While speaking, Li Changzhou still picked up a piece and placed it in her bowl, with Yang Qinglan laughing.
"I want some, too." Turquoise Pool passed over her bowl.
"Serve yourself."
"Do you only like serving your sister and not your elder sister?"
"Can we not talk about these risqué topics while eating?"
"Sure, shall we go on a trip to celebrate becoming an Immortal, like the last time in the Maldives?"
"Yes! It's been winter all the time in the Ming Dynasty, I want to play at the beach! Oh, and big bro, tomorrow we still have to go to the Moon to check it out. Before we entered the game, Beia said it was already built. We can invite her along, show her the sights of Earth!"
"Hmm."
"And I'll see what else you guys need, I'll have people prepare a hundred million's worth of supplies," Turquoise Pool said.
The four continued to chat while eating, discussing topics such as 'the Moon may become unsafe with more Immortals around,' 'where to hold the celebration feast,' and so on.
Using all her wiles, Turquoise Pool finally managed to get Li Changzhou to pick food for her once, then claimed it was 'the first time someone picked food for me,' feigning an overly grateful expression as if incense was billowing from Li Changzhou's ancestral grave, and after eating the meat, she said, 'that was the tastiest piece of the night.'
Too much drama.
But those stinky men fall for it every time.
On February 2nd, Li Changzhou first took the three of them to the Moon, then went to Cangqiong Star to bring Beia Triss over—before entering the game, Li Changzhou had sent her back to prevent accidental death in history, leaving Beia only able to stay on the Moon.
"Was the mission successful?" Beia Triss asked as soon as she arrived.
"Hehe," Li Qianxia folded her arms.
Today, she hadn't tied her hair into a ponytail; according to her, she had experienced it and was now a mature woman.
However, her outfit looked nice, but there was nothing mature about it.
A brown hoodie with a hood, a black pleated mini skirt embroidered with a cute little white flower at the hem—the skirt was very short, exposing her long, fair legs, worn with white cotton stockings and white shoes, her long hair draped over her shoulders.
In comparison with her, Beia Triss was the one who was truly sexy, wearing a court dress that was somewhere between a princess and a queen, with a very cinched waist and baring a lot of skin.
But to speak of true sexiness, it was Turquoise Pool.
Not because of what she wore, but because of her presence.
Of course, the one Li Changzhou liked the most was still Yang Qinglan, and that had nothing to do with clothing either.
"That's great!" Beia laughed, "Come on, I'll show you around the Moon Base."
"Sure." Li Qianxia naturally linked arms with her, as their relationship had already become quite good during the mission.
The Moon Base was mostly sunken into the ground, with a transparent shield above it. The shield was made of arc-shaped triangular pieces of glass, curved to form the whole structure that looked like both an umbrella and a pizza.
Inside the base, there were skyscrapers, and a ring of rivers circumvented the city, with bridges over the rivers and boats on the water.
"Employees who need to work outside the base and tourists who want to explore can reach it via the bridges," Beia explained.
They were now standing at the very edge of the glass cover, only a step away from the vacuum of space.
"Employee?" Li Qianxia asked, puzzled.
"There are many, such as inspecting ore carts mining olivine, ilmenite, and calcium plagioclase, researchers working in the external laboratory of the base, and so on."
"This is an airlock chamber," Beia Triss indicated toward the door pressing against the glass, "a transfer station for entering and leaving the base, with a cleaning process when entering to prevent lunar dust from getting inside."
"We could offer a job similar to a tour guide," said Turquoise Pool, "to help tourists put on spacesuits, preventing them from getting lost."
"Good idea." Li Changzhou nodded.
"About tourism," Beia glanced at Turquoise Pool and continued, "besides hiking, we also provide services such as lunar rovers. Everyone should like speeding on the Moon with its low gravity and vast openness."
"You like it too," Li Qianxia laughed.
Beia nodded as if it were a matter of course: "The champion of the first Moon Mecha Racing Championship will definitely be me."
"Humph, I am also quite good at mecha racing now; you need to watch out," Li Qianxia said, then remembered something, "Oh right, Beia, could you give me a motorcycle mecha? I promised a friend that I would get one for her."
"Of course, is he your boyfriend?"
"...The only male I mingle with is my brother; where would I get a boyfriend? It's a blonde princess too, you might find something in common with her."
"Really?" Beia got interested.
"Moon Mecha Racing Championship?" Turquoise Pool thought for a moment, "I should have players under my command with live streaming skills; we can live-broadcast the competition to promote Moon tourism."
Li Changzhou and Yang Qinglan didn't talk much, staying behind and occasionally bumping each other's shoulders gently.
"Hmm?" Suddenly, Li Changzhou stopped.
Yang Qinglan, Li Qianxia, Turquoise Pool, and Beia Triss all looked over, following his gaze.
It was the half-circle of Earth.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" asked Beia Triss.
"It's not that," Li Changzhou said, "a player is undergoing Human Crossing Tribulation."
He pointed at the river on the edge of the city, casting a spell learned from the "Fragrant Leaf Crown," akin to one of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Skills, Insight Through Walls, though not as powerful.
An image appeared on the surface of the water.
"That's Cairo, Egypt," Turquoise Pool recognized the city at first glance.
From within Saladin's Citadel, marked by its rounded domes and minarets, an Egyptian player shot up into the sky, followed by countless people with hands held in prayer.
Besides Egyptians, many foreigners were present at the scene, part of a planned exploration.
"Brother, which level of Human Tribulation is he crossing?" Li Qianxia asked curiously.
"Third Level," Li Changzhou answered.
Li Qianxia murmured explanations about Human Tribulations to the clueless Beia Triss.
The image on the water grew darker by half as dark clouds gathered above Cairo, Egypt.
"Thud... Thud..." The sound of footsteps trampling over everyone reverberated, shaking the water surface of the Moon Base.
The Moon wasn't affected; it was Li Changzhou's magic that was disturbed.
"Here it comes!" Li Qianxia exclaimed in a low voice.
Beia Triss held her breath.
On Earth, everyone watching this scene widened their eyes.
A towering and upright figure emerged from the dark clouds.
