Luo Xiyun felt a lump in her throat, but recalling Chen Xu’s unusual behavior yesterday, she held back her agitation and decided to leave, turning to walk outside.

Chen Xu picked up the basket and followed her from behind.

The two walked into the train one after the other, both remaining silent throughout the journey.

Luo Xiyun got out of the train and went straight to the study room. After putting on her glasses, her mood gradually calmed down.

When noon arrived, the pre-set alarm reminded her it was time to return for lunch.

She turned off the alarm and continued to read.

Thump, thump–

It was only when she heard the knocking on the desk that Luo Xiyun took off her glasses, and there stood Chen Xu, saying, “It’s time for lunch.”

She didn’t move, just looked at him.

“I’m sorry, I spoke out of turn this morning and said things I shouldn’t have,” Chen Xu said sincerely.

Luo Xiyun placed her glasses back in their spot, stood up, and said, “Isn’t it lunchtime? Let’s go.”

She walked over and sat down at the dining table, where new dishes awaited–dishes Chen Xu had never made before.

“Try this lion’s head,” Chen Xu scooped up a meatball with a spoon and placed it in her bowl, “I always saw this dish on TV and was curious about it. I only later learned that it’s a type of meatball. Realizing that was indescribable…”

A small ripple passed just like that.

Afterward, their life returned to normal. Besides three meals a day and studying, they would play basketball together, occasionally dance…

Every few days, they would also check on the babies, the oldest of whom was now nearly three years old. The genes of these babies were exceptional, each one very intelligent, ready to begin preschool education.

Their days weren’t vibrant but were tranquil and fulfilling.

…..

Six months flashed by, and the return of the clone forced Chen Xu to dedicate some of his energies to the underground human population.

The clone had lived up to expectations, bringing back vast amounts of intelligence. His biological brain was almost full.

After sorting, this information was sent to Chen Xu.

With plenty of language material, the host computer successfully decoded the language used by the underground humans; however, it only managed spoken language since there were too few samples of text.

Through the information at hand, Chen Xu finally gained a rough understanding of this somewhat mysterious underground world.

In the underground world, beings like the clones who could host parasites were called “Chosen Ones” and held unparalleled status. Every time the clone faced difficulties, merely revealing his parasitic armor would smoothly resolve the issues. Everyone showed him the utmost respect.

Because of this, although the clone did not understand the underground language, he blended in well.

Until the “Temple” received information and sent someone to investigate his identity, which sparked conflict, and the clone had to flee the underground world and return to base.

This also showed the poor communication capabilities of the underground world. It took the “Temple” half a year to react, a delay hard to imagine.

The data showed that the underground world was vast, and among those the clone interacted with, no one knew its exact size.

However, due to underdeveloped transport, the underground world was divided into segments.

The current underground kingdom was District 13. Officially, it was ruled by a king, but the real rulers were the “Temple.”

From many details, it was evident that the underground world had a strict hierarchy, with the “Temple” and the king representing the ruling class, controlling most resources. As for the common people, the resources they could access were meager.

In poorer areas, the ordinary people led bitter lives, often not even having enough to eat.

According to what the clone saw, the underground world had no agriculture. The ground was nearly devoid of plants; at most, there were mosses, which were inedible.

So where did the food come from? It was distributed by institutions set up by the “Temple” and the king. Of course, this was not for free; it had to be bought with a certain currency.

Meaning, food was completely monopolized by the rulers.

Just this factor alone ensured the stability of the “Temple” and the king’s rule. No one could shake it.

As for the military strength of the underground world, the clone did not inquire. The underground world had not seen war for so long that people had forgotten what war was like.

However, considering the “Temple” could provide food for so many people, their technology level must not be too poor.

If it were the base, producing so much food could be sustained for a short while. But in the long term, it wouldn’t last, as the energy from fusion wasn’t infinite. Once the energy was depleted, there would be no way out.

Furthermore, the parasites did not seem to be a natural occurrence, they could be artificially created biological weapons.

If that was the case, then this civilization’s level far exceeded that of the base.

Feng Song had studied parasites for two to three years and still had many unanswered questions about them, let alone recreating them.

What exactly had happened that forced such a powerful civilization to hide in the underground world?

It seemed this planet was indeed no simple matter. And this was just one of the underground human states.

Unfortunately, since the clone didn’t understand the language, which was a fatal flaw, he couldn’t make contact with the true higher-ups to uncover their secrets. He could only piece together bits of hearsay.

Chen Xu pondered deeply as he looked at the information.

“What are you looking at?” Luo Xiyun’s voice suddenly interrupted him, startling him as he looked up to see her having entered the control center at some unknown time, holding a basket in her hands.

He asked in surprise, “Why are you here?”

Luo Xiyun lifted the basket slightly higher for him to see more clearly and said, “It’s time to eat.”

At this reminder, Chen Xu apologetically said, “Ah, I had forgotten.”

Luo Xiyun said, “Come on, let’s eat outside.”

Chen Xu followed her out into the adjacent study room.

After arranging the dishes, Luo Xiyun asked, “Is something the matter?”

“Didn’t I tell you last time to think of this as a game, ready to level up by fighting monsters?”

Hearing his light-hearted tone, Luo Xiyun understood that matters were definitely not simple; otherwise, he would not have forgotten mealtime, an unusual occurrence previously.

“The flavor is good; your culinary skills have greatly improved,” Chen Xu began to eat, lavishing praise after tasting the food.

Luo Xiyun’s face finally brightened with a smile, “If you like it, I’ll continue to cook for you.”

“Sure.”
