After touring the bird room, the group moved on to the next attraction: the Mandrake's Soundproof Room.
Plenty of people had heard of Mandrakes. They had appeared in all sorts of fantasy works and were quite famous. The moment someone called out the Mandrake's name, curious visitors hurried over to watch.
The glass enclosure Mu You had prepared for the Mandrake was four meters long, four meters tall, and one meter deep.
Since the Mandrake liked digging, half the enclosure was covered in earth and rocks. However, the section below ground used one-way glass, while the section above ground used ordinary soundproof glass that let in light.
In other words, once the Mandrake burrowed underground, all it could see outside was darkness, but anyone outside could see everything beneath the soil.
And precisely because the enclosure was soundproof, the Mandrake had no idea that a large crowd had approached.
It was busy building its underground palace, dragging a miniature hoe and constantly digging clods from the soil and carrying them outside. After working for an entire day since yesterday, it had already excavated a "basement" with two bedrooms and a living room.
In the open space outside its basement, it had also cultivated a miniature plot of farmland, where several egg-shaped plants resembling watermelons grew.
Those were the Succulent Turnip Grass seeds Mu You had given it earlier. It had treasured them inside the flower bud on its head, and planted them immediately upon arriving at its new home.
