Little Stone collapsed flat and split down the middle into two smaller ones, exposing a belly identical to the stone: Nope! ~(´•ᴗ•`)~
Well, I'm just a stone to begin with, so it's normal to be made of stone inside and out.
"Have you eaten enough?" Mu Ying asked.
Little Stone: (¯﹃¯)
Understanding, Mu Ying resignedly started to grind again.
Raising kids is tough!
Luckily, Little Stone wasn't that big of an eater; about two bowls-worth and it was temporarily full.
Mu Ying took it to see Tongbi 559.
He provided the exploration equipment, so it was best to update him.
"Back already? How'd it go?" Tongbi 559 stood up with anticipation upon seeing her appear.
Hoisting up the apparently lifeless Little Stone, Mu Ying said, "There, meet Little Stone, a small Underground City that nearly starved to death."
"It worked?" Tongbi 559 excitedly examined the unimpressive-looking stone, "So this is the Underground City? It really looks just like a stone!"
