Back at Villa No. 3 on Dragon Lake Ring Island, Shen Bing tossed aside his brief bout of melancholy, left Li Xiao to amuse himself, and went down to the Second Basement Level alone.
Once the work down below is finished, I'll have Lu Xian make a few minor alterations to the villa and connect this underground Safe Room directly to my bedroom. With his abilities, he should be able to make it completely seamless! It's only a matter of adding an elevator. Shen Bing mulled it over as he walked.
When he entered the Safe Room, Shen Bing could see nothing except the pitch-black opening below.
Fortunately, Lu Xian was extraordinarily capable. Even a completely dark tunnel posed no obstacle to him.
Shen Bing contacted Lu Xian through Consciousness and discovered that he had already dug to a depth of around eight hundred meters. He had stopped digging downward and was now expanding the underground space.
An Underground Base couldn't consist of just a passageway, after all!
Lu Xian's efficiency was beyond question. He had already excavated several thousand square meters of space below, with a height of over nine meters. Most areas were designed with two levels, while a few places with special requirements had only one.
Shen Bing used Consciousness to order Lu Xian to emerge from the ground, then asked him face-to-face, "Lu Xian, you said before that you could shrink down to one si. Just how small is that?"
Although Shen Bing could communicate with Lu Xian through Consciousness, doing so was exhausting, especially over a distance. A few minutes of conversation wore him out more than an entire day of reading.
Besides, Shen Bing was more accustomed to talking face-to-face.
Lu Xian said, "One si is approximately what you call ten micrometers, Master."
