How Am I Still Alive?-Chapter 1338 - 1324: Moon Goddess Knight

"Indeed, the decision is almost made....."

Upon receiving the text, Lu Ping’an was slightly surprised, but he laughed it off as something to be expected.

Wang Xier is a princess, but among the "attached officials" currently in the Development Zone, three of her uncles are princes..... The more successful the Development Zone gets, the more predators it attracts, and with an ineffective system above and below her, she is now just a tool man.

If she is willing to lead a team to Mercury 42 to pioneer..... with the backing of Lu Ping’an (who would not support the Saphire people on Earth), she would definitely be able to hold her ground, and then pull her own team together amidst the collapse of the current system.

With her qualifications, she would almost certainly make a name for herself in the future Saphire Kingdom (Mercury 42). Whether she does well or badly, it will be hers, not the current role of a tool man and scapegoat.

"...Looks like Wang Sixiang is also tempted."

Shortsighted considerations aside, just the fact that Wang Xier, the "head of the Development Zone", is preparing to resign and lead an expedition, would bring about a series of changes..... And the very act of Lu Ping’an inviting her would also provide her with security.

As long as she really starts to act, she can generate momentum, and now that Wang Sixiang is clearly giving tacit approval, her emergence is only a matter of time.

Perhaps Wang Xier’s status within her clan is quite awkward, but in the eyes of ordinary Saphire people and Easterners, she is the main person in charge of the Development Zone, the real manager.

Her leading an expedition may not have much impact on the aristocrats, but for the ordinary Saphire people, it is a banner.

At the same time, Lu Ping’an is also helping Lulu by encouraging these travelers to make up their minds.

"...Do you have time today? There is a lecture I hope you can attend?"

"You want to go for a walk? Please hold a moment, we will escort you safely..... No, not for your safety, but for the safety of others."

Lu, these past few days, had been "confined," partly because Lu Ping’an’s killer instinct was a bit too strong, resulting also in an overly aggressive Special Service Team, and partly because Lu Ping’an’s "regulations" indeed offended quite a few of the Exotic Races, who likely wanted him dead.

What the local officials feared was not so much Lu Ping’an getting hurt, but rather the potential chain reaction that might be triggered if something really angered Lu Ping’an.

Of course, although the chances are slim, if Wang Sixiang actually took a desperate gamble and decided to take out Lu Ping’an, that would be a dangerously volatile battlefield.

Despite being restricted, Lu Ping’an was actually in quite a good mood... He had already wasted too much time and energy on petty matters; it was time to attend to more serious concerns.

"This is the seventh Mirror Knight, right?"

"The ninth, but indeed the seventh big spender at the library."

Lu Ping’an had made this judgment after checking the "books" in the Grand Library.

But it seems that a fish that had bitten the bait had finally managed to escape successfully.

Moon Goddess Knight, or rather Mirror Knight, in this city with a large population of Saphire people, were already not too rare.

But this time, the invitees were all fourth-tier or higher Moon Goddess Knights, which were of significant value.

"Too mixed, are they really from the same vocational path....."

And the knowledge about the Moon Goddess Knights that Lu Ping’an had on hand seemed to have as many versions as there were people.

"The Moon Goddess is somewhat special....."

It was only upon true contact that Lu Ping’an confirmed the Moon Goddess’s power was plentiful and mixed.

Satellite, launching, fantasy, mirror seemed to all be part of her power system, including space, fantasy books, bondage, a series of abilities that were part of the complex skill tree of the Moon Goddess Knight.

Lu Ping’an confirmed that the difficulty of this profession is also extraordinary..... It resembled more a mini "Deity" and was a downgrade of a high-tier professional’s combined abilities.

This was the accumulation of countless years by the Gemini Moon Goddess at the top-ranks of that world, a branch on the great tree.

For the specialized Moon Goddess Knights, this was naturally a good thing, as they could choose the evolutionary path that best suited them according to their own situation.

However, for Lu Ping’an, who attempted to take on multiple professions to reap more benefits, it was not so friendly. The Moon Goddess Knights he currently encountered each had their specialties, and they often used "Professional Abilities" and "Profound Meanings," these kinds of active abilities to control their extraordinary traits.

"But to say less, it has something to do with space, haha, I think I understand a little..."

Lu Ping’an’s speculation needed to be verified by himself, and having easily become a first-tier Moon Goddess Knight, he sensed the true core ability of this system.

"It turns out to be such a basic ability... Light."

Lu Ping’an extended his finger, emitting a faint white light from his hand.

Illusions, mirrors, reflections, and so on—ultimately, they all had a direct relationship with "Light."

And what best reflected its characteristics was the "position" of the Gemini Moon Goddess during those long years in the Silent Mountain Range.

"They nurtured the land, subdued the contamination underground with moonlight, and sealed the enemy of civilization..."

Light was the manifestation of the Moon Goddess’s power, yet it was not the "essence."

"No, they aren’t even sources of light, or rather, they are not permitted to become sources of light..."

At this moment, Lu Ping’an vaguely understood why the abilities of those professionals were so varied and bizarre—they were perhaps using a "medium" rather than the "essence."

"Insufficient tier..."

Lu Ping’an once again enhanced his Career Ability but quickly encountered a bottleneck; he realized his understanding was insufficient, and forced advancement would probably be counterproductive.

"Let’s cheat..."

Normally, Lu Ping’an could only progress slowly, but his time was extremely valuable, and there were too many underhanded methods...

"Let’s acquire some taboo items from the Moon Goddess Knight system..."

Lu Ping’an originally thought the acquisition would be very difficult after all, this was akin to acquiring items from former powerful and rare demigod knights. The related taboo items were not only scarce but most were considered holy items.

With faith adding complexity, acquiring them was naturally troublesome...

"Why are there so many, and so cheap?"

"The gods are dead or gone, faith has collapsed, what’s the use in keeping them?"

No sooner had Lu Ping’an pulled out the list than he acquired a large quantity, and the items were of no low grade.

"Still no good..."

Lu Ping’an linked using the All Things Breathing Skill, indeed utilizing some of the Moon Goddess Knights’ Professional Abilities, yet it was still too chaotic to integrate.

"This is a small gift, to apologize for the rushed meeting last time..."

And knowing that Lu Ping’an truly showed a need, the big shot Wang presented him with a gift.

Though it still wasn’t a rule-level item, it could be considered a "truth-level" in the Silent Mountain Range World.

This time, Lu Ping’an also began to comprehend the essence of the Moon Goddess Knight.
