"This place lacks everything..."

After Mingmei followed Mu Chen to empty the sand, she went back upstairs. Mu Chen, being considerate, packed his luggage and moved it to Mingmei's side.

After moving in, Mu Chen quickly found his way around the house. He went to the kitchen first, took out two flammable things that looked like coal from the cabinet, put them in the small stove on the counter, and started boiling the water he had brought.

Mingmei, curious, stepped forward and took a look. The water was better than the water in the game on Ancient Blue Star.

"It's not that we lack everything, it's just that resources are controlled by a few people."

Mu Chen recalled the supplies in the hands of the merchants in the underground city last night. Compared to those in the underground city, the people living above seemed to be living in dire straits.

"So why don't they just move underground?"

While looking up with curiosity, she also glanced out the window at the dark clouds that were gradually drifting in from the distant sky.

This reminded her of the frequent thunderstorms at the Sixth Army base in the middle of the night. She hadn't gone out these past few days, and had been woken up by the thunder several nights in a row. She was really afraid that her house would be struck by lightning out of the blue.

Even though there were defenses over the base, the first lightning strike always landed with uncanny precision, which triggered the air defense system to activate.

The worst part was that she even asked the logistics department whether her house was safe.

Mingmei really didn't want her house to be the first point of contact for lightning strikes. But when Mingmei expressed her concerns, the logistics department suddenly exclaimed, "Oh dear, we forgot to install a lightning rod on your roof!"

Bright and beautiful: ? ? ?

Before entering the game this time, she noticed that those people had installed lightning rods on their rooftops.

Looking at the dark clouds outside, Mingmei couldn't help but wonder if her building in the game would also be struck by lightning.

"What are you looking at?"

Mu Chen poured the boiling water into a cup next to him, and saw Mingmei standing silently to the side.

"I'm wondering, if there's a sandstorm in the middle of the night, will there be thunderstorms and rain during the day?"

As Mingmei gazed at the ever-growing clouds, Mu Chen also looked out the window, lost in thought.

"So, the description of 'harsh climate' here really is that harsh."

The sandstorm that could bury people alive just left, and now a thunderstorm is coming right after? Even Mu Chen had to admit that the weather was not only bad, but also extremely changeable.

"In this kind of weather, there's no way to go out during the day."

Mingmei and Muchen each took a cup of hot water back to the living room. When they came back, Mingmei had opened the balcony window to let in some fresh air. The air was very humid, so it seemed that it was going to rain heavily. They could even see some lightning flashes in the churning dark clouds.

"They are all nocturnal creatures."

Mu Chen took a sip of hot water. After he came in, he explained his role and identity in detail. Those with strength basically made a living in the dungeon at night.

"So, in that case, the underground city should be expanded to leave some space for people to live in." Mingmei once again expressed her incomprehension towards the people living up there.

Without electricity, life might not be primitive, but compared to modern interstellar society, it truly feels like going back to ancient times to survive.

Even if there are energy stones, some of the equipment here is obviously outdated and not from the same era as the energy stones at all; the energy stones can't even provide energy.

However, on the other hand, Mingmei still remembered that when she was selling boxed lunches yesterday, she saw the vendors and people across the street trading energy stones.

Who suggested using energy stones as currency?

"Living in the underground city requires following the rules."

Mu Chen sighed softly and mentioned the incident from that morning to Mingmei. He had just walked past the man with a water bottle in his hand when it was snatched away, and no one around seemed to care.

Mu Chen snatched the body back and killed the man, but no one cared. Even the body was taken away by others who thought it was profitable, and no one pursued the matter.

This only applies to areas above ground; such actions are not permitted in underground cities.

You want these people who do whatever they want and have no concept of the law to live in the dungeon?

Are you kidding me?

"So, according to you, the dungeon is actually under someone's management? And it sounds quite well-organized?"

"Yes, the underground city naturally has its own rules, and those who are willing to be governed by these rules can apply to live down there."

Just like the four-hour dungeon trading market time, that's one of the rules. Besides trading, there are many other aspects that are set up.

This is why, even though the conditions in the underground city are quite good, the ratio of underground residents to those living above ground is only 3:7.

"So few? I thought there would be many in the dungeon." Mingmei was surprised that so many people were unwilling to live in the dungeon, and couldn't help but wonder, "Are the rules really that many and complicated?"

"Compared to the Empire's lengthy legal codes, these are quite simple. If you want to know, I can explain it to you in detail, which should take about an hour."

"No, no, no need." Mingmei quickly waved her hand. She asked Mu Chen the same question as Gui Gui, but Gui Gui's answer was not as fast as Mu Chen's. Now Mu Chen even knows the rules of life in the underground city. Gui Gui would not dare to answer so casually, okay?

The ghost is withdrawn, and the system is having a tough time.

"It's as if you live in the dungeon."

"Yes, my character does live in the dungeon."

"ha?"

"I'm only here today to retrieve the belongings that this character used to live in."

Hearing Mu Chen's answer, Mingmei was even more surprised. She glanced at the luggage in the room, blinked involuntarily, turned to Mu Chen, and asked, "Then what are you doing now...?"
