Chasing Wind was stunned momentarily.
His ancestors?
The heavens?
Goddess of luck?
Or Lincoln himself?
ονǤᴑ.сο
Several objects of prayer flitted through Chasing Wind’s mind, only to be dismissed swiftly by a shake of his head.
Who has time to be distracted at this point!
To make this moon landing happen, he had been under huge pressure these past few days, discussing plans with the big shots, even ruthlessly abandoning his spaceship and teammates.
Now, he had even obliterated his own road back.
If he failed, all his past efforts would have been in vain and his several days of hard work would be completely wasted!
During the process of reducing orbital altitude, automatic save points had been triggered numerous times, he now had no avenue of retreat.
Therefore, he must succeed!

An intense deceleration almost threw Chasing Wind off his seat.
Before he could adjust himself, the reentry capsule slammed hard onto the ground, and then—started rolling away!
If not for the extra reinforcement on the safety belt, he would have surely been thrown off the chair, suffering serious injuries in the rolling reentry capsule.
While he managed to avoid serious injury, physical discomfort was inevitable.
Being thrown into a tumbling drum, there’s no way he could’ve felt comfortable.
His stomach was doing somersaults, his head was spinning, his eyes were bloodshot, his ribs were in severe pain…
The Moon’s gravity is about one-sixth of that on Earth.
As a result, the time and distance of the capsule’s rolling far exceeded Chasing Wind’s expectations!
Moreover, the “flatness” of the lunar mare is relative — it looks flat from space, but in reality, there’s a lot of slopes and pits!
This resulted in the random movement of the rolling metal lump that was the return capsule.
By the time it finally stopped, Chasing Wind had been thoroughly shaken up to the point of vomiting.
Thankfully, Yunmeng had been optimized in that regard.
Barely two seconds had passed when the vomit disappeared by itself, preventing further discomfort for Chasing Wind.
What’s even more amazing was: not a single one of his ribs was broken!
Looking at his status bar, he only had a few soft tissue contusions.
One could virtually say he’d landed perfectly!
Chasing Wind lay still, regaining his breath for a few moments, before securing his facemask and starting to unscrew the hatch.
The robustness of the return capsule was reliable, and the hatch was not deformed.
It opened smoothly.
Chasing Wind was still not fully recovered and walked rather unsteadily, but ultimately, he successfully set foot upon the Moon’s surface.
One more step forward, his body felt a bit light and nearly fell, but a quick hand support steadied him.
Gradually, he managed to steady himself on the desolate landscape.
The ethereal and distant music played at the same time in both Chasing Wind’s ears and to the audience in the live broadcast room.
Behind Chasing Wind, a glow was gradually taking form.
Turning around to look, he found that it was his first footprint that was illuminating.
Not waiting for his guess, that footprint and the hemispherical moon rock beneath it, slowly rose and shrank in size, and a glass lid was added in mid-air, turning it into a spherical object the size of an apple.
Next, the glow gathered at the edge of this sphere, forming supporting structures and a base.
A trophy, much like a globe, slowly took form this way.
Chasing Wind habitually glanced at the base of the trophy:
[“Nothing here, what are you doing?”]
“???” Chasing Wind was dumbfounded on the spot.
“What?!
I’ve landed on the Moon!!!”
“Even if you don’t give me the cool achievements [First Person to Land on the Moon] or [Space Voyager], at least give me [Touched Down on the Moon], right?”
“What does [What are you Doing Here] mean!!?”
Chasing Wind was not feeling good about this.
The players in the live broadcast room, however, were all laughing:
“Haha, he’s panicking, he’s panicking!”
“Lincoln has been silent all these days, I thought he didn’t care, turns out he’s just been waiting here?”
“I knew it!
How could Lincoln be so petty as to do nothing hahaha.”
“So, is this an admission that there’s nothing on the moon?”
“No, no, no, I think, this could just mean there’s definitely something on the moon!”
…
Left speechless for a moment, Chasing Wind decided to take a look around.
“After all, it’s a place where ordinary folks can’t reach, let’s take you all for a walk around.”
“Anyway…
we’re here now.”
“Are we inside…
a crater?”
He looked around, guessing his location, and then chose to walk in the direction opposite the hatch of the return capsule.
*
“That’s right, it’s in that direction!” Lincoln, holding Mavis, sat eagerly on the small sofa.
Chasing Wind’s current location was less than one kilometer away from the pure black stone slab in the center of Kepler Crater.
Is this a coincidence?
Of course not!
Where in the world would such a coincidence occur?
The reality is——
When Chasing Wind entered the re-entry capsule and almost completely lost sight of the outside, Lincoln secretly “twisted” the moon.
——He didn’t want to interfere with the players’ gaming, so he didn’t touch the re-entry capsule but instead chose to “twist” the moon.
Much like moving the entire golf course to ensure that the ball has to pass through the hole, Lincoln moved the Kepler Crater to the expected landing spot of Chasing Wind’s re-entry capsule.
Also, after Chasing Wind’s landing, Lincoln subtly altered some moon’s terrain to lead the rolling path of the re-entry capsule to the very center of the Kepler Crater.
If he hadn’t done so, it might have taken Chasing Wind several hours to reach there.
If the footprints on the achievement trophy hadn’t been discovered which could act as a “compass”, it’s hard to say whether Chasing Wind would’ve walked that far.
So Lincoln put to use his “god’s” primal driving force and gave Chasing Wind a helping hand.
Therefore, not long after landing, Chasing Wind caught sight of the distant pitch-black slab.
On the moon’s grayish surface, the slab was so purely black that it almost hurt the eyes.
Chasing Wind asked in surprise, “What is that?”
Of course, no one could answer him.
“An artifact?” One of the think tank members suggested.
“Maybe we should say: non-natural artifact?”
“It doesn’t matter, this must be the Easter Egg that Lincoln placed on the moon, right?
Hurry over and check it out!”
Even without their suggestion, Chasing Wind would have gone over there anyway!
He was excited and was quickening his pace, even replicating the feeling of rushing with his lightness skills in “Chang’ an”.
The live-streamer community also started to get excited:
“Now that’s more like it!
How could the moon have nothing on it!
Boss Lin never disappoints!”
“Is it possible that this was added later in a hurry?”
“What do you think it’s supposed to be for?”
“A teleportation gate?
Will it lead back to earth once pushed open?”
“Stop guessing, we’ll know soon!”
…
Before long, Chasing Wind stood right in front of this black slab, which was as tall as two people.
The slab was smooth and upright, with a crystal-clear texture, standing quietly there like a piece of black jade.
This obviously couldn’t be a natural object, but the system did not provide any hints.
Chasing Wind kicked the moon dust on the ground and found that the slab seemed to be fused with the surface rock.
He tried pushing it, but the slab was unmoved.
He walked around the slab but didn’t discover anything — this object was so clean that it was ridiculous.
Apart from words or patterns, there wasn’t even a single scratch.
He knocked on it, but could only hear the sound of his own knuckles.
After hesitating for a moment, he found a stone nearby and knocked hard on the slab.
But there was still no reaction.
Like this, Chasing Wind tried everything he could think of on this black slab, but it was all in vain.
This left him utterly baffled, so he finally sat in front of the slab and began to contemplate.
The live-streamer community and the think tank were also helping him think and discuss.
Everyone felt that: since Lincoln placed a slab here, it must have significance, so everyone was mulling it over.
Meanwhile, Lincoln’s backup plan finally went into operation——
Blocked completely by the slab, Chasing Wind did not see: a spaceship — the Nine Heavens Spaceship slowly landing on the moon’s surface.
One by one, five astronauts disembarked from the plane and walked towards this mysterious slab.
These five people were the group that, at the beginning of “Gravity”, were fixing the space telescope with their spacecraft.
The original two people in the cabin are now in the back.
Walking in the middle were Glen and Nick.
And, leading the way in front was none other than another Chasing Wind!
