Chapter 484 First Clash
The small anchor point made by the Yu family didn't actually take long; the main problem was that the Yu family didn't respond when we tried to contact them.
We managed to get in touch with her through Ni Chang. Once we got in touch, everything else would be easier, since Gu Qing has unique abilities!
In all the time that interstellar space has been around, no one has ever had such an ability, so which family doesn't have a couple of combatants who are close to being mutated?
I never expected the Yu family to be so helpful. "Is there anyone in the Yu family who needs to be purified?"
Qi Bai laughed when he heard her say that. "Qingqing is so insightful. Yu Xinran's father's pollution level suddenly spiked. Her mother could have stabilized the situation and come back, but in a big family, there are always some conflicts."
Her uncles were always bothering her mother; one day they'd say, "This one's injured, his pollution level is too high, he needs purification," another would say, "Tomorrow, that one made a mistake absorbing energy and needs purification too."
Gu Qing frowned upon hearing her words. Indeed, there was always a lot of infighting among families. Even when they were young, there was little fighting, but as they grew older, they would not give an inch for the sake of their children.
"Okay, whatever the reason, it's always better to have it made properly." Gu Qing planned to go back and have Phoebe help with the data optimization.
"Indeed, this small anchor point, I remember that the minimum coverage area you customized was to cover the entire perimeter of the manor for ten miles."
"The planting area around the manor isn't that large yet. We can reduce the coverage area later, and the defense value will be higher." Qi Bai thought about the safety of the manor.
"There's no need to open it however you want. I've already used high-level crystal cores from home, so this little bit of consumption doesn't matter."
Jin Beiwang was also deeply affected by Gu Qing's disappearance. Upon hearing Qi Bai say that the anchor point was almost finished, he contacted his family to request a high-level crystal core.
The highest level is eleven. Level nine and above are already considered strategic resources, since a single level ten high-energy cannon can power a warship to destroy a small planet.
Lou Xiaoyu nodded in agreement, "Yes, I also exchanged a tenth-tier one from the family treasury. Qingqing, I know your space is destroyed, but our family doesn't lack these things, so you don't need to be too careful."
Gu Qing knew that the two people meant well, but given Qi Bai's previous words, their conversation would make Qi Bai feel embarrassed.
Gu Qing couldn't directly refute the two of them, otherwise she would be slapping them in the face again, so she smiled and took Lou Xiaoyu's hand, "Thank you both for your kindness, but I'm not stupid."
I understand the principle of not putting all your eggs in one basket. Although I suffered a considerable loss this time, it wasn't to the point that I had to tighten my belt and live frugally.
Even if you have a fortune, you should still save where you can. As Qi Bo said, there's no need to invest resources in places where you have no resources.
At home, we still have to listen to our head housekeeper.
“Not only at home, but I’ll also listen to you in my affairs.” Chen Xingheng’s words drew everyone’s attention, since he hadn’t spoken a word since the initial greeting.
You could say that he was agreeing with Gu Qing, or you could say that he was supporting Qi Bai.
Lou Xiaoyu and Jin Beiwang glanced at him together, remembering his relationship with Qi Bai, and then looked back at Gu Qing, who was sipping her tea.
Then Jin Beiwang pushed up his glasses, still wearing a reserved smile. "What Second Brother says belongs to us, so it belongs to Qingqing. Of course, we should listen to Qingqing when we marry her."
Lou Xiaoyu frowned, but he wasn't stupid, and unlike before, he didn't argue with heaven and earth, saying, "This is only natural."
Gu Qing put down her teacup. "Alright, everyone's worked hard. Since there's nothing else, go back to your rooms and rest! I'll go back and absorb some energy too. Just let me know in advance when you're going back."
"Thirteenth Brother, you and Qingqing go upstairs. She needs to take a bath after absorbing the energy. She's feeling heavy now, so please take good care of her." Chen Xingheng's tone left no room for argument.
Qi Bai stood up. "Then, brother, I'll take Qingqing over first. If anything happens, just call me."
Chen Xingheng nodded to him, then turned and quickly took two steps to help Gu Qing upstairs. It was the first time Gu Qing had seen him so absent-minded in front of her.
So he squeezed the hand that was holding him and said, "Don't worry, leave it to Xingheng to handle. Otherwise, Xingheng hasn't shown his face since their family came in."
I can't be too biased; that would make it hard to gain public support and could easily provoke a rebellious attitude.
