Chapter 1055 Moon Advertisement
"That's true." Shangluo nodded, "Even if it's the Heavenly Court, the exam still needs to be taken."

[You guys are really obsessed with exams! Why? I don’t understand.]

"Tsk, this is our way of maintaining order, and it's gradually become a habit. If you ask me why I'm obsessed with exams, I can only say that it's right. The resources of this society should be allocated to the right people, and there are many ways to select the 'right' people. Maybe there will be a better way than exams in the future, but now, the best way overall is exams."

[So the martial arts tournament can also be counted, right?]

"That's absolutely right. Look at those martial arts novels and fairy tale novels. Although they don't test writing skills, there are still many sect competitions, Huashan sword contests, etc. So even if it's the Heavenly Court, there are still tests."

[I didn't expect that you guys still have to write a test paper even if you go to heaven. This is really a bit...]

"Not necessarily. The test may not be written on paper. It may be replaced by another method, such as creating a small world by yourself. As long as a unified scoring standard can be found, the test content can be unlimited."

Then he asked Zheng Shijie: "So, do you have a specific time for your lunar development plan?"

"The timeline is out. Conservatively, we will establish a permanent colony on the moon within two years."

"So fast?!"

"Because the first batch of people sent up are Qigong practitioners, the establishment of the living environment will be quite simple. All we need to do is replenish the spiritual energy, and the Qigong practitioners will figure out other problems themselves. The immigration of civilians is expected to begin within 20 years - of course, based on the progress you make, we will adjust the plan accordingly.

"If you can debug the moon cannon this time, we will start assembling the moon landing spacecraft in orbit this year. Spiritual power gives us unlimited possibilities and prevents me from making mistakes. As long as there is a little bit of feasibility in the engineering, we can use spiritual power to make it perfect. At the fastest, in a few months, we will be able to plant a flag on the moon. But..."

He thought for a moment and said, "We still have to be very cautious when it comes to mortal immigration. So we can only put the expectation on 20 years - there is actually no way to predict it, because this date may continue to be extended as 20 years approach."

"But if everyone becomes a Qigong practitioner, then everyone can carry out the plan according to the first standard, right?"

"That's true." Zheng Shijie nodded and said, "After taking the elixir you gave me, I can feel that the realm that was previously blocking me is loosening, and my cultivation is increasing every day. Although the growth rate is very slow, I will be able to reach the realm of a Qigong practitioner sooner or later. I am also increasingly able to understand the greatness of Qigong practitioners - we were too conservative before. Going to heaven this year is the decision that a Qigong practitioner should make."

"Good fellow, have you chosen the first batch of people?"

"I've chosen my uncle, the one in the foundation-building stage."

"General Zheng from the Imperial Guard, right?"

"Yes. If I don't let my family members go up first, then others might not dare to sit down. I will also go up to join in the fun, but my realm is too low, and it will consume too much spiritual energy. I may just go there for show and come back. Shangluo, do you want to go with me? Just shoot a commercial, just like what we are going to do later."

"Filming a commercial on the moon? Isn't that too outrageous?"

"Yes." Zheng Shijie said as if it was a matter of course. "Since we want to promote the colonization of the moon, we have to shoot an advertisement. You have to shoot an advertisement to sell a house anyway."

"Well, do you think it's possible that we could build a studio and film the moon landing in the studio?"

【???】Apollonia was shocked. "????" Zheng Shijie was shocked, "Filming a commercial in a studio?! Isn't this too outrageous!!!"

"Aren't we going to the studio soon? We're going to shoot a commercial for Wangzai."

"How can it be the same on the moon?! This is an advertisement for the moon landing."

"Wangzai can shoot in a studio, Yanqiu and I can pretend to be in love, so there's no reason why we can't pretend on the moon."

"But... Eh? It's not impossible. Anyway, my uncle can go up there. I don't have to go up there myself, right? So how do you think we should shoot it?"

"That's it. You get a studio, and you wear a space suit, and you ride in a cannon from the moon, and then you jump off the cannonball."

"Wait, let me remind you that we are not going to the moon directly on a cannonball. We are using cannons to launch building materials into Earth orbit, and then assemble them into a spacecraft to go to the moon. We have to change the orbit anyway! How can we launch directly to the moon?"

"Advertisement! Promotional effect, right? This is called 'using exaggerated performance techniques'. Assembling a spacecraft and flying over slowly is still too slow. Advertisements only last a dozen seconds, or even a few seconds. So why don't you just ride a cannonball to the moon?"

"Well, what next?" Zheng Shijie looked at him, waiting to see Shangluo's teaching.

"Then it's up to you to come up with your own ideas. You can also combine reality with fiction, like asking your uncle to take a camera to the moon, and then editing your own images on Earth into the film. You can also plan a small plot, like planting a flag yourself, or shoveling a bag of dirt or something."

"Ah." Zheng Shijie understood. "You mean, it's not completely fictional, but half true and half false, right?"

"Right. First of all, this thing has to be true, but in terms of the way it is spread, you can make it up - you don't have to really go to the moon. That would be too much trouble, right? From my level, I can tell you that it would be more resource-saving for me to land on the moon in the foundation-building stage. You haven't even reached the Qi training stage, and your Qi won't be very consolidated by the end of the year, so you'd better not go."

"Wait!" Zheng Shijie slapped his thigh, "Then you go! How about it?! You go for me, and then edit me in."

"???" Shangluo was stunned for a moment, "Why me?"

"Then why don't you go for the plan you proposed. Besides, we're about to schedule a commercial for Wangzai - ah, I've got an idea, we can make a sequel. Then strike while the iron is hot and launch your Yanqiu as well. I'll just appear briefly in the studio and plant a flag, that's all."

"Uh, you"

"Shangluo! Please, this is for everyone! And for the Heavenly Court? Shang Tianjun, are you interested?"

"Okay, it's not impossible, but the opposite role must be with Yanqiu, no one else can be replaced. I don't want to shoot a drama commercial on the moon with your uncle, it has to be Yanqiu."

"No problem, he won't be on camera. I'll let him carry the camera. As long as there's no Jade Rabbit making mooncakes on the moon, there will only be the two of you in the camera, no one else - ahaha, just kidding, how can there be a Jade Rabbit on the moon."
