Chapter 2230: Chapter 2230: The Undercity Unfolds
The two sides can be said to have completely different characteristics. One side is flourishing, and since the other has already discovered issues, there’s no need to put on such intense acting as before.
Of course, the acting still needs to continue, not to deceive people, but to deceive the will of the world.
Many regard Du You’s side as just deceiving themselves, but no one knows why they are doing this. Du You’s control ability is strong, so everyone continues the act, as do the major guilds.
The alliance on the other side seems a bit off. Due to the constant consolidation, internal unrest is rife, making it difficult to retain people in many cities.
Even places far away are hard for them to reach, yet the city’s population continues to dwindle.
The problem now is that many in the upper class are trying to protect themselves, leaving them with no extra energy to worry about population issues.
Du You’s Border City is gaining more and more population, which is troubling for some. Because no one knows how many spies or terrorists there might be among them, arranging them properly is no easy feat.
Placing them in the Sky City, one careless move could have a huge impact.
However, with the next plan unfolding, these people will have a place to go.
Du You directly carried out excavations under a city, then built an underground city. The first underground city was completed, and when it debuted, it caused an internal stir. This has opened up a new residential environment once again.
Even if the density of the underground city cannot compare with the surface city, it won’t be much less. The residential area of the entire world has doubled. No, if it’s not just one layer, but several underground layers are built, it would be different.
With each additional layer built, the living environment doubles. Of course, this depends on how much energy the city above can supply. If the energy is insufficient, the underground city cannot operate.
To construct cities like skyscrapers, directly building several underground layers, Du You couldn’t help but admire the doppelganger who came up with this idea, as it was indeed very imaginative.
Yes, this was thought of by one of Du You’s doppelgangers, not by himself.
However, the establishment of the underground city has improved conditions on the alliance’s side.
"Impressive, they could think of this. Why didn’t we? The underground city doesn’t need a floating system or protection from space fleets; we can build it ourselves."
"Exactly, exactly, the technical difficulty is very low, just needing a place to process the soil."
After a consensus was reached, some cities started building. Soon, the entire alliance turned into one big construction site. Their situation differs from Du You’s side.
As everyone was acting independently, many cities began using their own power to construct underground cities. The progress in every city wasn’t high, but quite a few started excavating simultaneously.
Some cities had poor conditions for underground cities, some even terrible, but that didn’t matter.
After all, not all city dwellers had the same conditions as those in Du You’s city. The majority of ordinary people were not adventurers, so their status was quite low.
Whether working on the surface or underground was the same for them, so they were exiled.
Vacating most surface areas for adventurers directly improved their living conditions, and many adventurers approved of this move with both hands.
What many didn’t realize was that many people sent underground to endure hardships had adventurers as family members.
Some might not have them now but could become powerful adventurers in the future. This conflict was silently suppressed but accumulated, someday erupting more violently.
But this had nothing to do with Du You, as they simply didn’t consider these matters.
Currently, Du You leads his team, continually researching how to improve the quality of life in underground cities. Ultimately, underground cities differ from surface cities and aren’t suitable for ordinary people.
Much technology is needed to make the underground like the surface.
The lighting issue was resolved, temperature wasn’t a problem, but airflow still posed significant issues. Improving the living quality underground shouldn’t affect that on the surface.
The recent surge of research topics was immense, with Du You using his doppelganger to conduct studies, accumulating more and more knowledge. Recently, the tech-related knowledge in the minds of Du You and the two sisters was almost overwhelming.
If not for the material constraints, technological power couldn’t directly elevate to the seventh tier, only rated as seventh-tier. If they weren’t limited, Du You might already use technological power to massively produce seventh-tier military forces.
However, as studies progressed and most problems were solved, they didn’t need to worry about the rest.
"Master, we haven’t been to the Outer World for a long time, and the control there is very fast now. We should accelerate our control speed here too."
Du You nodded and said, "Indeed, we’ve been playing around too much. Xiaobai has enhanced significantly, and we shouldn’t lag behind." Hearing this, the two sisters rolled their eyes. Xiaobai’s strength could rise, but could theirs? Not to mention their own strength had reached the ninth tier peak, unable to advance further; even the power of re-cultivation was already in the late ninth tier.
If relying on conventional means to progress, it might not change much even after tens of thousands of years.
If not for the uniqueness of this world and many Outer Worlds waiting to be conquered, each offering a certain improvement, their power would’ve reached its pinnacle long ago.
"Next, our plan is for this world. The other side is ready, right?"
"Rest assured, it’s all set up; after all, it’s been a long time over there."
Du You smiled gently; Lin Yucha’s work was reassuring, always flawless. With Lin Yucha around, he could relax a lot of the time.
"In that case, let’s begin. It’s time to resolve this world."
The plan was nearing its conclusion. Even Du You felt somewhat nervous.
Having complete confidence was impossible, but as various plans perfected, Du You felt at least seventy percent confident of achieving his goals. The biggest variable was the strength of the world’s intentional force itself.
