Chapter 1 Everyone Arrives

Everyone exited the station, looking around. Hai Long should have someone to pick them up.

"Even if it's a mountain of knives or a sea of fire, I can't wait!" Huo Ying said, "This is my first time on the moon, what a pity."

Ma Long patted Huo Ying. "It's okay, Old Huo, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

"Haha, it's my first time too. The environment here is really good. It's not surprising that many people want to immigrate here." Everyone looked at the distant Earth through the skylight, that huge blue egg. This feeling was really refreshing.

"You're quite calm. Have you been here before?" Zhou Naiyi asked.

"Ah, no, it's my first time." Li Hao shook his head. It was his first time setting foot on the moon, but he had been here in other ways.

Zhou Naiyi nodded and looked around. She saw a sign welcoming Tianjing Mech Academy. "To the left. Hai Long's people are here."

The group pushed their luggage towards the sign, expecting to see members of Hai Long's student union. Instead, they saw Li Xiangshan.

Everyone was a little confused. What was going on?

Could it be that he just looked alike?

Li Xiangshan, the most prominent member of the Big Dipper, had personally come to greet them?

Li Xiangshan spotted Li Hao in the crowd at a glance, like the bright moon in the sky, dimming all the stars. He didn't even need to search. Of course, that was just Li Xiangshan's feeling. In reality, even he couldn't see anything special about Li Hao. In the eyes of ordinary people, Li Hao was probably about the same as Zuo Xiaotang.

Li Xiangshan took the initiative to greet him. Back in Apocalypse, Li Xiangshan had been a clear-headed person. His position couldn't be changed, and he would fight as he had to, but having a respectable opponent was a blessing in life.

"Welcome everyone to the moon. I'm Li Xiangshan. You can give us your luggage. Please come this way," Li Xiangshan said with a smile. "Brother Li, long time no see."

Li Hao nodded. "Let's go."

Li Xiangshan smiled slightly, a bit of excitement even showing through, but he swallowed the words that came to his lips.

Ma Long, who had originally wanted to show off, also seemed a little restrained. As for the others, Li Xiangshan was one of Huo Ying's favorite heavy armor experts, a true S-rank pro.

Li Xiangshan didn't waste any time. The Hai Long students were all sizing up Li Hao. Everyone else had made their own way to Hai Long, but this Tianjing Mech Academy was being picked up by them. Not only that, but student union vice president Li Xiangshan was leading the team. This was a huge deal.

Moreover, this person was obviously younger. Why were they calling him "Brother Li"?

And this Earthling was really good at pretending, just nodding and accepting it so calmly. It was too strange, but Li Xiangshan was very prestigious, so the Hai Long Academy students held back.

The girls were much more sensitive than the boys. Zhou Naiyi had already seen Li Hao's reputation during the Mid-Season Cup, but she didn't expect it to be so useful on the moon… even more so.

Tan Ziyuan, Sheng Man, and Lu Lingxiao were experiencing this for the first time. They had learned a lot along the way. When Ma Long and Sheng Man insisted on organizing a group activity, they met Li Hao for the first time. That guy was late because he was delivering takeout. Was that person who sat down and started eating the same person as the one walking alongside Li Xiangshan now?

Li Xiangshan, one of the Big Dipper Seven Stars, a top expert from the Moon Military Academy, was so respectful in front of Li Hao. The impact of being a big shot "at home" on Earth versus having a reputation outside was different.

Lu Lingxiao was so excited that she wanted to say something, but Tan Ziyuan gently tugged her sleeve. Lu Lingxiao stuck out her tongue. The captain was so impressive, she couldn't understand it.

Li Xiangshan's aura was too strong. Everyone could see the Hai Long Academy students' respect for him, but in terms of the academies, Tianjing Mech Academy was far behind Hai Long. They didn't even understand why Tianjing Mech Academy had been invited, so the team advanced in this strange atmosphere.

Li Hao didn't speak, and Li Xiangshan didn't speak. It seemed like no one else dared to speak. Fortunately, the scenery outside the window was beautiful. After so many years of construction, the moon had become a city that resembled humanity's previous fantasies. Limitless solar energy completely adjusted the city's operations, making it highly efficient and environmentally friendly, reflecting the moon's comprehensive strength.

Such cities were not just beautiful. All the moon cities were integrated with attack and defense, and could be turned into attack mode at any time during wartime. Energy could be mobilized at any time. The entire moon, in conjunction with the powerful space city chain's joint defense, could be seen as a super fortress.

Of course, none of this had been verified, it was just a persistent rumor.

The "Hai" in Hai Long Academy was not the sea on Earth, but the sea of stars, meaning a giant dragon swimming in the sea of stars.

Although it had only topped the Mid-Season Cup this year, Hai Long Academy had always been ranked in the top ten on the moon. It was a truly top-notch academy with both hardware and software. Even Ma Long and the others, who were used to seeing things, felt like country bumpkins entering the city when they saw Hai Long Academy's situation. There was no way around it. The moon was built to break the original shackles and pursue the most advanced concepts. The beginning was very difficult, but when it was finally completed, the power it displayed was something that Earth and Mars could not catch up with.

"Brother Li, these are your dormitories. If you have any questions, you can call us. The other teams have arrived. We will gather in the auditorium in half an hour. Welcome again to this exchange competition," Li Xiangshan said.

"Thank you," Li Hao said.

"You're too polite." Li Xiangshan didn't waste any time and left with the others.

Everyone sized up the building in front of them, which was narrow at the bottom and wide at the top, like a large ring-shaped mushroom. They were very curious. As soon as Li Xiangshan and the others left, they couldn't help but enter the elevator.

The elevator opened into a public area with a dining area, recreation area, video and audio area, reading area, and activity area. The top floor was the ring of dormitories, one room per person, about a hundred square meters each, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering a panoramic view of the surrounding scenery. At night, you could see the stars.

The moon was divided into two areas, perpetual night and perpetual day, but after the transformation, the perpetual night area would also receive regular sunlight. Of course, this was all necessary. Some special areas were always shrouded in darkness, while the perpetual day area was the main residential area for moon residents. However, day and night were controlled by the Daliwen Sky System to match human living habits.

On the moon, the weather was also artificially adjusted, with regular rainfall, snowfall, and other seasonal changes. From a certain point of view, the moon had achieved the ideal country that humans had once dreamed of. Once you got used to life on the moon, going anywhere else felt like going to a primitive tribe.

The indoor lighting was also automatically adjusted. The glass even had virtual image functions. Zuo Xiaotang, as a veteran otaku, was very familiar with various otaku equipment. With his adjustments, the glass light disappeared and instantly turned into the background of a concert venue, creating an immersive experience. A moment later, it turned into a beach. He dragged a chair over, took off his clothes, opened a juice, and it was just like being on vacation at the beach, with the sound of waves and seagulls. The lazy Zuo Xiaotang even wanted to take a nap.

Huo Ying lay sprawled on the big bed. It was incredible. This was not a dormitory, it was… People were just infuriating!

Teacher Ma didn't forget to take a selfie at the first opportunity. He would never stop updating his daily life. After posting it, he waited for replies. Hmph, like it, comment, and envy me!

Even the boys were like this, not to mention the girls. The girls were much more organized than the boys. After putting down their things, they took a shower and changed clothes. They would be attending an event soon, and their image absolutely couldn't lose.

Sheng Man and the others might even put on some makeup, after all, they represented the beauty of Tianjing Mech Academy. They couldn't lose. On the way here, those moon girls looked so proud. They had also aroused their fighting spirit. They were ready to go, starting with a beautiful selfie. They couldn't miss any of the rituals of life.

Zhou Naiyi didn't make so many moves. She quickly took a shower, changed into a clean and tidy school uniform, and clenched her fists in front of the mirror. "Zhou Naiyi, go for it!"

Someone had just finished sending a message, looked around, and revealed a sneaky look. A Youyou would also be coming tomorrow. Just thinking about it made him feel like he had drunk honey.

"Hey, are you sure it's okay for you to make such a big splash?"

"Senior, it's a little better here on the moon. The academy will be responsible for controlling it. When we meet, don't make any moves. Leave everything to me," A Youyou said with a smile.

"The way you say it, I'm a little unsure. Maybe we should just hide it."

"I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of!" A Youyou said with a pout. Li Hao felt like he was suffering a barrage of beauty every day. A Youyou basically didn't disguise herself on the moon.

A Youyou was worried that if things got out of hand, her family would deal with her. Li Hao was worried that if things got out of hand, the people in his dorm would kill him.

In any case, Su Yu's current one-eye-open, one-eye-closed attitude gave the two of them a lot of convenience. Li Hao had been mining very diligently recently, but he hadn't gained much. It was impossible to enter the cave silently. Every fight was a fierce battle. He could handle it, but the giant worm he possessed couldn't. Those damn bugs were targeting him.

It was difficult, but he still had to find a way to get the thing he needed, it would just take time.

Half an hour passed quickly, and everyone gathered on the first floor, looking brand new. Everyone looked at Li Hao, whose hair was messy, as if he hadn't done anything.

Waiting below were also the Hai Long girls who had come to welcome Tianjing. The moon girls had a delicate aura, were tall and slender, and very beautiful. Their clothes also complemented this temperament. "Please follow me."

Ma Long smacked his lips and nudged Musashi. "This figure is really nice. Old Fourth, think about it. I feel like you're not interested in Earth girls, so maybe you can consider a moon girl."

Musashi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and shook his head.

"You can't do this. You have to open up. The power of love is very great. Tell me, what kind of girl do you like? I'll help you find one. You have to trust your teacher. Even someone like Brother Hao was able to find one."

Musashi's eyes were firm. "No need!"
