I asked you to practice physical skills, not to open the Eight Gates!

Chapter 101, Gu Qingqing’s grievance

"The space teleportation array is broken."

"Broken? What happened?" Li Yang frowned.

He came to the Kingdom of Sand just for the space teleportation array.

If there were no space teleportation array, I don’t know how long it would take to return to Shenxia Kingdom.

"I asked the people who are in charge of guarding the teleportation array, and they said that the teleportation array broke down a month ago."

"It's been broken for a month, why hasn't it been repaired yet?" Li Yang frowned.

The Kingdom of Sand is the largest country in the Black Desert after all. How come it can’t even repair a space teleportation array?
"The materials needed to build a space teleportation array are very rare, and the most important material is the 'space stone'."

"Space Stone is an advanced and extremely rare material. Not only in the Sand Country, but in all the countries in the Black Desert, there is no Space Stone." Wu Xin sighed.

A space teleportation array is not something a small country can possess.

The reason is that the materials are too difficult to find and require a large amount of space stones.

Small countries either do not have the strength and financial resources, or do not have the means.

Only a big country can afford to build a space teleportation array and have the ability to defend it.

Otherwise, even if a small country successfully builds a space teleportation array, the end result will only be that it will be snatched away by other stronger countries.

"We will keep an eye out and try to find the space stone to repair the teleportation array."

Wu Xin knew that Li Yang needed to use the teleportation array to return to Shenxia Kingdom, so she also expressed her importance of repairing the teleportation array.

Li Yang nodded: "Okay, thank you for your help."

"By the way, I remember that Sha Zhaoxiong seemed to have asked people to get a lot of crystal cores. Have you counted how many crystal cores there are in the city now?" he suddenly asked again.

"Crystal cores? These haven't been counted yet. I'll have someone count them right after I get back. I'll have someone deliver as many crystal cores as you need."

Wu Xin was not stupid either, so he naturally knew what Li Yang's real purpose was in asking this question.

"I don't require any attributes. You can give me any crystal core you want. The more the better. Of course, you still have to keep the crystal cores necessary for your city defense," said Li Yang.

He has always needed the crystal core.

But city defense also requires crystal cores as energy for defense.

Wu Xin and his men have just taken over the Kingdom of Sand, and there will be many subsequent issues that may require the use of force to resolve. Crystal cores, as the most important war reserve materials, still need to be stockpiled.

"Okay, then I'll go back and have someone count the crystal cores and send them over."

Wu Xin didn't ask the reason, nor did he say that he was reluctant.

If it weren't for Li Yang, they wouldn't even be able to take over the Kingdom of Sand, and it might even be unknown whether they are still alive.

Therefore, Wu Xin naturally met Li Yang's needs unconditionally.

……

The space teleportation array is broken and cannot be used temporarily.

Gu Qingqing is still in a coma and has not woken up yet.

Li Yang could only stay in the Sand City and wait for the situation to improve before taking the next step.

[Ding! Mission completed: rescue Gu Qingqing]

[Task Reward: 10 Energy Points]

The task system only prompts completion now, the delay is quite large.

"One hundred thousand energy points, plus the previous balance, the total is two hundred thousand."

"Another 100,000 energy points will allow you to exchange for the Kamui Mangekyō Sharingan."

Li Yang calculated the energy points on hand and took a big step towards his next goal.

Now we just have to wait for Wu Xin to count the crystal cores and see how many crystal cores can be exchanged for how many energy points.

"Let's go to bed first."

He was busy with a lot of things today and was a little tired.

Although the Sand Capital had just experienced a great war and many things in the city were destroyed.

But the impact on most ordinary people was not that big, and Wu Xin and his men did not do anything to ordinary people in the city.

The whole city spent a relatively quiet night in darkness. The next morning, Li Yang was awakened by a faint sob.

He opened his eyes and immediately confirmed that the sobbing sound came from Gu Qingqing's room.

open the door.

Gu Qingqing has woken up.
She hugged her knees and curled up in the corner, her shoulders twitching slightly and she made soft sobbing sounds.

Just like when she was first brought back to Shenxia Country, and just like now, she curled up in a corner, lonely like a wandering child.

"Qingqing?"

Li Yang called out softly, waking the girl up from her crying.

She raised her head and looked at Li Yang with red eyes, as if she couldn't believe it.

"Okay, you're safe now."

Li Yang sat down beside the bed and comforted her softly.

Gu Qingqing couldn't bear it any longer. She stumbled out from the corner, threw herself into Li Yang's arms, and burst into tears.

It’s like a child who gets bullied outside and can’t help but cry to the adults when he gets home.

And Li Yang is Gu Qingqing's only support.

"Okay, okay, I'm here."

He patted the girl's back gently.

But Gu Qingqing couldn't stop crying. It was not only because of the fear of surviving the disaster, but also because of the grievances she had suffered for a long time.
"Why...why do I always have to suffer this kind of thing..."

"Why do you want me to have a cursed body... Why do you want me to endure this kind of misfortune..."

This was the first time she cried to Li Yang.

She has been suffering from deep pain in her heart all this time.

No matter the life of wandering in Yayu country or almost losing his life now.

All these experiences were too much for a girl like her.

No matter how strong a person is, they cannot bear it, let alone Gu Qingqing who is only eighteen years old.

At her age, she should be enjoying a good life, but she has to endure such pain.

Only she herself knows all these grievances.

Li Yang didn't know what to say, so he could only pat her back gently to comfort her silently.

What Gu Qingqing needs is not comfort.

She had been suppressing this emotion in her heart all along, enduring it silently by herself.

It was only now that she couldn't help crying.

She would feel better if she cried.

Li Yang stayed with her silently until Gu Qingqing's crying became quieter and her noises became quieter - she was tired of crying and fell asleep again.

Gu Qingqing's body had not recovered yet, and now she was so tired after crying for so long that she fell asleep.

Li Yang helped her wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes and let her continue to have a good rest.

After crying, she should feel much better, so let her have a good sleep.

When I wake up, I will probably feel much better.

It was a pity for Li Yang because his clothes were all wet.

He went to change into a clean set of clothes.

Coincidentally, Wu Xin also came.

"Li Yang, we have already counted the crystal cores and put them in the warehouse. Do you want to go now?"

Li Yang nodded: "Let's go, let's go now."

The two walked towards the warehouse in the capital.
