Mag wasn’t around. Mamy Restaurant had stuck up a notice, saying that the staff were taking a week off.

However, Miya felt bored, so she continued to open the ice cream shop and Gina was helping her in the shop.

“A swan is so cute. How can you roast it?” Gina swiped Kiddo’s nose with a smile before looking at Ugly Duckling, who was crouching on the ground. It had put away its wings.

The golden wings had disappeared and they had become a mark on its back. Compared to their original dull color, they looked like they had a golden rim drawn around them. They looked rather smart.

Gina reminded Kiddo with a stern look. “You’re not allowed to fly around on Ugly Duckling in the future, especially during the day. Otherwise, you will be arrested.”

“Oh.” Kiddo nodded obediently, but she didn’t forget to make a funny face at Ugly Duckling.

Firis walked into Irina’s office and said with relief, “Your Highness, the little mistress has already fallen asleep after drinking the fruit juice.”

Irina said to Firis, who had visibly gotten thinner and gained two dark eye circles, “Thank you for your hard work.”

For the past few days, she finally understood Mag’s difficulty in raising Amy alone because she saw Firis’ hard work with her own eyes.

The tiny baby wouldn’t work with you at all.

“It’s alright. I am fine.” Firis smiled, but she couldn’t hide her tiredness.

“Drink this water and then have a good sleep. Leave the child to Ashley today.” Irina picked up a glass of water and dripped a drop of the Spring of Life into it.

The rich life aura instantly filled the entire office. Just smelling it made one feel reinvigorated.

Firis took the glass of water and drank the entire glass in a gulp before saying to Irina with a serious expression, “Your Highness, I just need to have a good sleep in the future. I don’t need such a precious thing like the Spring of Life.”

This was the Spring of Life that could save lives, and now that the Tree of Life was gone, the Spring of Life that the princess had would only decrease whenever she used it. Firis felt bad when the Spring of Life was wasted on her.

Irina flicked her finger against Firis’ forehead and said, “Silly. You have already reached your bottleneck phase. Go back and sleep first. Have a good charge after you wake up and see if you can break through the 7th-tier threshold.”

“Oh.” Firis covered her forehead and left. She couldn’t understand how she reached her bottleneck phase when she was only caring for the baby.

The office’s door closed and Irina sat at the desk in a daze as she murmured to herself, “I wonder if things are smooth for him over there. It’s imprudent for him to go over there alone.

“Moreover, that thing seems to have reappeared again. I have to go to Abyss Island to take a look personally.”

Mag and Nancy had afternoon tea together. The process was relaxed, just like two friends getting together.

Nancy was rather interested in his experiences, so Mag cooked up a cut and dried story of a striving young man who continued to innovate.

However, she seemed to be very satisfied with that story. When the afternoon tea was over, her favorability for him rose up another two points.

“System, do you think she will fall in love with me if this goes on?” Mag came out from the cafe at the top with a weird expression.

“From the analysis of the current conditions, this possibility is extremely low,” the system answered.

Mag pursed his lips. He didn’t refute that.

He also could sense that Nancy’s feelings for him were more of a kind of admiration. The kind of admiration that a person in power had for a craftsman. It had a hint of superiority within it.

Of course, he was rather satisfied with this situation.

In this case, she wouldn’t go looking for him crazily when he went missing in the future.

After he returned to the dormitory, Mag put on a disguise and then left the building.

“There are many choices for a disguise, for example, being a staff member. Why do you choose to be a woman?” Xi sat in the passenger seat with befuddlement on her cold face.

“Perhaps, this is the so-called once you are a drag queen, you will always be a drag queen?”

“Erm…” Mag was speechless.

Mag took off the dress and tried to push the blame away, “Why didn’t you say so earlier?”

Xi looked away and rolled her eyes.

Moreover, even if he didn’t put on a disguise, with his power, it would be a very simple thing for him to leave the building without anybody finding out.

He changed back to male clothes and changed to another face. The flying car stopped at the door of the biggest shopping center in Tucker City.

Tucker City Shopping Center was the biggest, most well-equipped shopping center in Underground City. It was also deemed as the trading hub of the entire Underground City.

From daily essential items to cannons and battleships, they all could be traded here.

“What do you need to buy?” Xi asked.

“I’ll walk around first. I don’t know what to buy either. It’s good to find out more while looking.” Mag walked towards the building that traded machinery.

Xi frowned but chose to follow him.

Once he entered through the doorway, Mag’s attention was attracted by the gigantic battleship that was parked at the center of the hall.

Xi introduced it to Mag. “The very first battleship. The military has already decommissioned it 200 years ago. It’s now being transformed for civilian use.”

“How much does one of those cost?” Mag asked.

“To you, it’s not-for-sale.”

“Can I buy it as a toy for my daughter?”

“No.”

Mag’s gaze retracted from the battleship unwillingly. Although it was a battleship that was decommissioned by the military, it was still an advanced battleship that the system couldn’t make.

The first floor was all selling firearms. Mag strolled around to take a look. Other than the few guns that were only supplied to the military, all the firearms could be found here.

Mag couldn’t help asking, “You are selling guns like vegetables. Are you not worried about daily gunfights?”

“You need documents to buy firearms and every gun is registered. All the information related to gun-related crimes can be found immediately,” Xi answered calmly.

Mag nodded thoughtfully. That sounded reasonable.

One afternoon of looking around without buying anything, had completely suppressed Mag’s purchasing power.

Other than the firearms center, Mag went to a few daily essential items centers.

Compared to the guns that only the big guys in firearms could play with, the distributors and operators of those daily items could better represent the Underground City’s normal folks.

After going around, Mag felt a sense of familiarity the most.

The Underground World felt very similar to Earth in many ways. They had already gotten rid of the feudal oppression and the normal folks had more rights.

Even though the big families still had a lot of power, they could only hide behind the scenes. They didn’t have much influence over the normal folks.

Their lives were much happier than the normal folks on the Norland Continent.

On their way back in the car, Mag stared at the buildings that zoomed by them quietly.

Xi looked at him, puzzled.

Mag suddenly turned around to ask Xi, “Tell me, when can the Norland Continent’s ordinary folks have a life like theirs?”

Xi looked at Mag’s clear eyes and shook her head eventually.

She didn’t say and she couldn’t say.

However, his idea was already very dangerous.

Mag smiled and recast his gaze outside. “That day will come.”
