Chapter 2433: Chapter 2432: Underground City
In order to see what Lingxiao City’s underground world looks like, Xiao Xiao and Mu Mu didn’t go to the shop today and stayed at home.
After making preparations, Ling Feng activated the Secret Key at home, and a slowly rotating red light screen appeared in the yard.
"Teleportation portal?"
Ling Feng was stunned for a moment when he saw it.
"It seems so. There are no passages on the surface of the city leading underground, so this is how it works," Xiao Xiao said.
"Let’s go, let’s see what it’s like down there!"
Ling Feng said and took the lead by stepping into the light screen.
In the blink of an eye, he found himself in a pitch-black space where he couldn’t see his hand in front of him.
Feiyan and the others entered and were also momentarily stunned.
Then Xiao Xiao couldn’t help but ask, "What’s going on? It’s too dark!"
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a click, and a light came on.
Then the second, third, and fourth lights turned on one after another, illuminating a space the size of a basketball court.

Once the space was bright, everyone was surprised to find that the lighting was powered by electricity!
Moreover, the space was clearly like a control room, much like a spacecraft cockpit!
With control panels and large screens, Ling Feng doubted for a moment whether he had teleported to the wrong place, not to the Underground City but inside a spaceship.
"Master, you’ve arrived."
A deep voice suddenly said slowly.
Ling Feng was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Who are you?"
"I am the steward of this city, named Wisdom No.1," the voice said.
"Is this really beneath my city?" Ling Feng asked.
"Yes, this place is integrated with Lingxiao City above, separated only by a fifty-meter gap," Wisdom No.1 said.
"Uh..."
For a moment, Ling Feng was a bit confused and didn’t know where to start with his questions.
At this moment, Xiao Xiao spoke up, "Who built this city?"
"My previous master, Mu Di."
"Very well, then, tell me how he managed to build a city with an intelligent manager; where did this technology come from?" Xiao Xiao asked.
"The technology came from Another World, designed by Mrs. Mu Di," Wisdom No.1 said.
"Is that so?"
Xiao Xiao understood, turned, and looked at Ling Feng.
Ling Feng understood she was asking on his behalf, so he nodded, signaling her to continue asking.
"Wisdom No.1, show me the full aspect of this Underground City," Xiao Xiao said.
"Sure!"
The surrounding screens flickered and quickly lit up.
Soon, Wisdom No.1 began to introduce the structure of the Underground City, from functional areas to residential areas, and then to equipment areas, etc.
Before long, a vast city with ten partitioned layers appeared in front of everyone.
This Underground City can accommodate a population of millions, ensuring all their needs such as food, clothing, and shelter are met.
After seeing the blueprints, Xiao Xiao could not help but say the design was truly ingenious, created by a genius.
Any potential issues had corresponding solutions; the designer was meticulous, considering everything.

While Xiao Xiao marveled at the designer’s meticulousness, Ling Feng found it odd, so he asked, "Wisdom No.1, the city is built so perfectly, why isn’t it operational?"
"Just after it was completed, everyone around the master fell ill, so he didn’t have the chance to activate the city, instead he went searching for a Miraculous Elixir to cure everyone."
"But unfortunately, when the master returned, people had already died from the illness."
Although Wisdom No.1’s voice carried no emotion, the events described were akin to a human tragedy.
It continued, "The master was deeply affected, so he took the bodies of his loved ones away and left."
"That was a thousand years ago?" Ling Feng asked.
"Yes."
"I see."
Ling Feng understood what was happening with the bodies in Mu Di’s Ring.
With all loved ones gone, Mu Di lost his aim in life, thus losing the will to live, eventually heading to the Desert Sea, his aim being to end his life.
What seemed like a light matter for others was unbearable pressure for the involved person; without empathy, it is impossible to understand this.
Thinking of this, Ling Feng couldn’t help but sigh, then asked, "Wisdom No.1, don’t you know what happened, why those people died of illness?"
"I don’t know."
Wisdom No.1’s tone was helpless, then said, "I only remember the master said before leaving, ’Should he want me dead, I will die for him to see!’"
"Oh?"
Ling Feng frowned as he heard this, "Who is this ’he’?"
"I’m not sure," Wisdom No.1 said.
"Alright."
Ling Feng was left with no choice, then asked, "Originally, this city was meant for people to survive a disaster, but an unexpected event prevented its activation, so the people back then couldn’t escape the catastrophe, right?"
"Yes," Wisdom No.1 said.
"Okay, I understand."
Ling Feng nodded, still very impressed with the structure and environment of this Underground City, which with its modern systems, wouldn’t need any additional elements to accommodate a large number of people here.
Currently, this Underground City’s energy is supplied by batteries; once a large population moves in, a new energy supply will be needed, but this isn’t a difficult problem to solve.
However, Ling Feng wasn’t in a rush to bring people in, considering that there were still hundreds of years before any catastrophe might happen.
The need to use the Underground City would only arise if something like a crisis occurred at Lingjian Mountain.
Otherwise, it can be put aside for now.
With these thoughts, Ling Feng said to Wisdom No.1, "For now, I’ve activated this place, but there won’t be a massive influx of people for a while, just a few will come, keep this place running for me meanwhile."

"No problem, Master, I am at your service, whoever holds the Secret Key, I follow their orders," Wisdom No.1 said.
"Good!"
Ling Feng nodded and took everyone back home.
After returning home, Ling Feng sat down, "Why do I feel something seems a bit off?"
"What seems off?" Mu Mu asked.
"I can’t put my finger on it, it just feels like something is amiss," Ling Feng scratched his head.
Feiyan nodded along, "I feel the same, but can’t figure out what’s wrong, I feel there are issues regarding Mu Di, the Underground City, and the Elder."
"If you can’t figure it out, don’t think about it for now, eventually, everything will become clear," Xiao Xiao said.
"Hmm."
Ling Feng nodded, deciding not to dwell on the matter any further.
However, just then, everyone suddenly felt that the light outside seemed to dim a bit, so they all looked up simultaneously.
Moments later, everyone was immediately stunned!
