This trip away lasted a mere forty-eight hours, and the barbecue gear, folding bed, and other tools he had prepared didn't come in handy at all. Mainly, lions and hyenas in Africa posed no challenge to Li Xiangdong anymore, and more importantly, he was all by himself and not really in the mood.
Although a bit regrettable, the harvest was substantial. Not only did he experience piloting a reconnaissance spaceship and a Light Exploration Vessel, but he also hunted quite a few buffaloes and collected a good deal of "Blood Sandalwood" and ebony timber. Even more gratifying was that his cultivation of the Swallowing Heaven Skill had broken through to the second level. Oh right, he had also dug out some priceless blue sapphires from a volcanic crater.
Most importantly, he had gained his maiden spaceflight experience in the Solar System, experienced warp flight, started building a mining base on Pluto, and begun constructing a defense base on the Moon. To any country on the Blue Planet, these were earth-shattering events that required the utmost caution and deliberation before making a decision, yet for Li Xiangdong, they were spur-of-the-moment choices. This was a gap in technological levels, as well as a gap in the resources at one's disposal. Without realizing it, Li Xiangdong was already in a position to sway the destiny and development of the Blue Planet, though he himself had yet to awaken to this fact.
