Chapter 269: Chapter 247 Its Mission is to Destroy the Moon! (Two in One)

"Attention to all units, T-minus 15 minutes preparation!"

"Attention to all units, T-minus 1 minute preparation!"

"5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Ignition!"

Boom!

At 18:12 that day, an "Expedition Class" rocket soared into the sky, piercing the heavens and tracing a spectacular arc between the sea and the sky.

There was no news coverage, nor were there many onlookers.

It was a secret mission.

Li Qingshan, Smith, and Jenny, along with two astronauts responsible for mechanical operations, were aboard the rocket bound for the distant Moon.

"Escape tower separation!"

"Jettison the fairing!"

"Booster separation!"

"Stage one and two separation!"

Under the immense acceleration, everyone’s faces turned a deep purple.

Their hearts were pounding with excitement, yet they felt uneasily apprehensive.

No one knew what the future held, with little intelligence and no choice but to hastily take action like ducks being herded to battle.

The rocket’s altitude gradually increased, the sun emerged from the horizon, shining like a diamond and casting a wondrous hue along the skyline. Yet the darkness of space persisted, and the sky remained a grey-black color.

Eyelids heavy, thoughts muddled, a buzzing noise filled their ears, a physiological response to increased blood flow to the brain.

Around 10 minutes later, the rocket successfully reached geostationary orbit.

As the spacecraft detached from the rocket, only a space capsule remained, orbiting Earth at high speed.

"Bring that thing out..." Li Qingshan took a deep breath, adjusting to the feeling of weightlessness, and slowly maneuvered toward a box, "I hope this doesn’t fail."

Carefully, they retrieved an archaic wooden treasure chest from nearby scaffolding. The chest had a constant mass of about 50 kilograms, regardless of how much was stuffed inside, it always weighed 50 kilograms. A crown symbol was marked on its lid, which was also set with a sparkling red gem.

It looked just like a classic chest found in the dungeons of RPG games.

In the past, it was called the "dimensional treasure chest monster," essentially a spatial-type anomaly. It liked to hide in ancient ruins, posing as treasure, waiting for humans to mistakenly approach it, thinking they’ve found riches, only to then leap forward and swallow them whole.

However, now, with the aid of technological methods, the "dimensional treasure chest monster" was in a dormant state, turned into a usable "dimensional treasure chest."

Li Qingshan swallowed hard and opened the chest, its inside resembling the mouth of a monster, complete with the moist feeling of saliva secretion, "Slow down, no rush, it’s still sleeping. We’ve fed it a hefty amount of the Source in advance... In theory, it shouldn’t wake up."

In the outer reaches, where the subtle shifts of Idealist Rules occur, the "dimensional treasure chest" might suddenly awaken, become aggressive, and kill all the astronauts.

Smith chuckled and started a light-hearted topic, "I’ve heard, just heard that... the Soviets once tried to use the dimensional treasure chest to carry a large amount of rocket fuel to beat everyone to the Moon. But once in space, they found out that the dimensional treasure chest was dead."

"In the end, they had to return without achieving anything."

Despite the fact they had trained many times in the Game Training Camp, everyone was still a bit nervous.

Divination Master Jenny said with a smile, "It’s true. But the supernatural technology of that time was not as advanced as it is today. The dimensional treasure chest needed to consume a huge amount of energy to help escape gravity wells."

"They didn’t provide enough Source back then, so naturally, the dimensional treasure chest died from exhaustion. It’s not that it couldn’t adapt to the rules here..."

They took out item after item.

Soon enough, they filled the entire space capsule.

Li Qingshan was exhilarated, "Good, the dimensional treasure chest didn’t react much... All parts and fuel have been removed."

"Now we have to modify this space capsule to head for the Moon."

"Let’s get ready."

Since all the parts were modular and they had trained for a long time at 15 times the normal learning speed in the Game Training Camp, the modification process went relatively smoothly, consuming a total of 13 hours.

What followed was the spacecraft successfully firing its engines, finally breaking away from the Earth’s gravity, bound for the Moon.

"Nervous?"

Smith, seeing Li Qingshan clench his fists, smiled and said, "I know one of your Black-clothed Guards, Zhao. Even in dire situations, he never showed any sign of nervousness."

"I wonder how he’s doing now? After the mission, I still want to treat him to the famous cuisine of Great Xia—the large intestine sashimi."

"He’s really an interesting oddity, who investigated the Blood Demon all by himself and survived... How did he survive?"

Li Qingshan’s face twitched a few times, not sure what to say.

He was usually a serious person, but how to answer this question... was highly confidential!

And as for large intestine sashimi... well...

"Mr. Zhao... He’s missing, out of touch, probably off to solve some major trouble again," Li Qingshan said.

"That’s a real shame."

"Don’t worry too much, our Miss Jenny is a world-famous Divination Master," Smith added, "Since she dares to come here, there shouldn’t be too much risk, right?"

Jenny floated mid-air, experiencing the novelty of weightlessness.

She caught the conversation between the two, "You’re mistaken there. I’m willing to go to the Moon simply in pursuit of the inspiration that guides me from the unknown."

"The most important thing for a Divination Master is inspiration, the pursuit of fresh experiences. Without inspiration, nothing can be achieved."
