Chapter 6 Dungeon
Thinking of Fu Xingyan's words "Your name is very nice", Shao Leyan lowered his head and sighed in disappointment.
In the end times, the sugar coating is wrapped in a cannonball.
How could such a noble and cold person be a gentle and kind angel?
And the way he looked at me...
Shao Leyan didn't dare to think about it anymore.
She felt like a sheep that had strayed into the territory of a big bad wolf and was being targeted as prey.
"Isn't this the sweetest novel that tops the charts? Why do the male protagonists all seem a little off?"
Le An raised his hand and touched Shao Leyan's head, his eyes full of pity.
"Because their good sides are all reserved for the heroine. If they were all just little white rabbits, how would they survive in this apocalyptic world?"
"But don't be afraid. They're not bad people, they just have different personalities. Once you take down Fu Xingchen, you'll be the wife of the dungeon lord, and then no one will dare to bully you."
Shao Leyan no longer dared to be so foolish as to completely believe Le An's promise.
"You're so powerful, but you couldn't protect me. But Fu Xingchen can? I think I should find a way to awaken another powerful ability. If my strategy fails, I'll go solo."
"This has also aroused your ambition."
The way Le An looked at Shao Leyan was as if he was looking at the apprentice he had personally trained, his eyes full of the love of an elder.
"That's fine. Not going after the boss to seek his protection, but just completing the missions to get the rewards is also an option, but it's not that easy.
We need a place to stay now, and we have to choose between the Underground City and the Central City. I suggest going to the Underground City. Regardless of whether you and Fu Xingchen end up together, it's always good to have a powerful friend.
Shao Leyan breathed a sigh of relief and felt a lot more at ease.
"If I just want to make an ordinary friend, I still have confidence."
"Well, let's go!"
When Shao Leyan said he wanted to go to the underground city, Fu Xingyan's joy was visibly evident.
Lu Chuchen didn't react much. He looked at her deeply, then turned and left.
After the troublesome person left, Fu Xingyan greeted the two of them warmly.
"Le'an, Le Yan, you are welcome to the dungeon. Don't believe Lu Chuchen's one-sided words. I am sure you will like the dungeon."
They never stopped along the way, and a day later, they arrived at the underground city's checkpoint base.
The base is the only way for the underground city to reach the outside world. Inside the huge pillars at the four corners is a thousands-meter-high special elevator - the Ladder to Heaven, which can take you to the underground city.
Walking into the elevator, Shao Leyan lowered his head and looked into the abyss-like darkness below through the special material of the elevator floor.
“It feels like riding a bungee jumping machine.”
Fu Xingyan was surprised for a moment, then he caught a glimpse of Shao Leyan and Le An looking at each other and nodding.
These brother and sister are really interesting.
Fu Xingyan chuckled, "You are the first person to describe the Ladder to Heaven in this way."
Shao Leyan was afraid that Fu Xingyan would think she was being sarcastic, so she quickly waved her hands to explain.
"I don't mean anything else. The bungee jumping machine is my favorite amusement park attraction. I'm addicted to the feeling of being strapped to a chair while flying. How should I put it... It's a sense of freedom from being restrained?"
"The feeling of freedom from being bound?"
Fu Xingyan savored these seven words and met Shao Leyan's clear yet weak eyes. For some reason, his heart suddenly twitched.
But it was only once, and he ignored it in the blink of an eye.
He lowered his eyes, hiding the excitement in them, and changed the subject.
"This is the most tiring sitting there. You're trapped in a confined space for five whole minutes and can't do anything. If we sit together, we can chat and it won't be so boring."
"Isn't five minutes a bit too long?" Le An asked curiously, "Doesn't the operation of the Sky Ladder use the power of space to assist?"
"It's inhumane to use only the abilities of space users to keep the elevator running for a long time. We rely on both abilities and energy to support our operation.
Furthermore, to prevent space-based psychics outside the dungeon from endangering its safety, the gateway connecting the dungeon to the outside world is equipped with a psychic shield. There is also a shield inside the ladder to heaven. Didn't you notice it?"
Le An couldn't swallow the water in his mouth, and it choked into his trachea. He coughed for a long time and felt like his lungs were about to be coughed out. He had no time to answer Fu Xingyan's questions.
Shao Leyan looked at Le An, who was bent over and about to cough up blood, and felt speechless.
Didn’t he say he read the novel twice and took many pages of notes?
How come you don’t even know the most basic information about the dungeon?
Fu Xingyan looked at Shao Leyan's look of disgust with interest.
The suspicion about the relationship and identity of the brother and sister deepened.
They have so many hidden secrets that their attraction to him can be considered fatal.
However, compared to Le An who accidentally revealed his true identity, he was most interested in Shao Leyan, who was suspected to have the ability to resurrect.
It is simply a chosen experimental holy body perfectly customized for him.
Walking out of the ladder to heaven, the true appearance of the underground city comes into view.
Shao Leyan always thought that the underground city was built underground as its name suggests, with no sunlight all year round, and the living conditions were extremely limited like those in air-raid shelters and basements.
But when she actually set foot here, she found that although the city was built underground, their highly advanced technology could make up for almost all of its shortcomings.
It has simulated sky, artificial sun, even oasis and artificial lake. Countless spaceships are sailing in the sky on predetermined orbits, and steel buildings are rising from the ground.
It's like moving the city on earth to the underground intact.
Fu Xingyan was amused by Shao Leyan's stunned expression and asked knowingly, "You seem surprised?"
Shao Leyan nodded shyly in acknowledgement.
"I didn't expect the underground city to be like this. It's no different from a bustling city on land."
Fu Xingyan was full of confidence, "I told you that you will like it here."
Along the way, Fu Xingyan responded to the greetings of the residents in the city, and Shao Leyan and Le An behind him naturally attracted a lot of attention.
As a newcomer, Shao Leyan also imitated Le'an and greeted others. Suddenly, someone came towards him.
This man was eerily identical to Fu Xingyan in both appearance and figure, but he was wrapped in a high-necked suit made of a special material, with only his delicate head exposed.
His temperament was not the cold and aloof aura of Fu Xingyan that kept people at a distance, but rather a majestic and solemn aura that only a superior could have.
Le An tugged at Shao Leyan's clothes, and she immediately understood.
This person is Fu Xingyan’s twin brother, Fu Xingchen, and is also the target that Le An asked her to pursue.
When Fu Xingchen saw Fu Xingyan and the other two, a friendly smile appeared on his face.
"Xingyan, I heard from Old Li that you brought back some amazing newcomers?"
