Genshin Impact [Outsider]

Chapter 31: Unreasonable Work and Rest Rules

The Sand City was in complete chaos. The servants took control of people's hearts and took the opportunity to rise to power. The faction that favored King Xiao Huiguo was madly squeezed out, and the door to the main hall was completely blocked.

"In order to protect the little King Huiguo, the main hall gate is blocked and no one is allowed to approach!"

"Now we have developed weapons that can fight against the Flower Whisperer. We just need to wait for a while and we will be able to defeat it!"

"As long as we defeat the Flower Speaker, we can return to the ground and quickly develop our country!"

"Great, then we can live like normal people!"

……

Su Li slept comfortably, and when she woke up she found her house was tightly wrapped by countless thorny vines.

"what happened……"

Su Li looked outside through the dead gray thorny vines, and could see nothing but thick gray fog.

Su Li created a shadow blade and cut through the thorny vines blocking the door, clearing a path.

Walking out of the forest house, Su Li was dumbfounded.

This place was nothing like the sand city that Su Li had seen before. All that was left was thick gray fog and withered vines.

All those vibrant plants have withered, the crystals inlaid in the sky have become dim, and this place has been completely shrouded in the gray night.

This kind of thing happened in Sand City but no one dealt with it, and Xiao Huiguo was nowhere to be found. Su Li subconsciously became alert.

"Could it be that something happened to Xiao Huiguo..."

Su Li looked towards the direction of the main hall, which was shrouded in even thicker fog, and a huge ball of black air completely blocked her view.

It is necessary to go and find out what is going on. Su Li feels like he has slept for half a century, and when he wakes up, everything has changed.

"Did I travel through time again...?"

Before Su Li could move, a figure suddenly appeared from behind and approached quickly.

"who!"

The moment Su Li turned around, the power of the lightning element surged, and a range of lightning energy instantly covered Su Li's surroundings. Anyone who entered this range would definitely be struck by lightning.

Seeing Su Li so alert, the man did not approach any further, and quickly took off his hood, explaining: "I am one of the former servants, and I have no ill will towards you, young friend."

"So, why are you coming near me?"

Su Li looked at the man in front of her. He had messy hair, an untidy beard, and a haggard face full of sorrow.

"I remember that after you came, Little Huiguo Queen has been pestering you. She seems to like you very much, so I want to ask you for help..."

"What happened in Sand City?"

"The rebels want to overthrow the rule of the Flower Speaker..."

"Are you serious?"

Su Li was a little shocked. This sentence undoubtedly meant that it was the people of Sand City who caused this crisis.

"Well, I have no reason to lie to you... During the time you were asleep, the size of the rebellion has grown, and the little Huiguo King has been imprisoned by them."

"..."

Is this what they call what people who have nothing to do after eating and dream of becoming superiors do?

Su Li is desperately running for the survival of Xing Ji. Countless innocent people have already died there. There is no god to save them, and no hero to step forward to save them...

There are only inhumane killings and deaths, and there are only the wailing and cries of innocent people...

And now, the people living in this beautiful and comfortable land are about to rebel simply because they are dissatisfied with the gods, trying to rival the gods with their mortal bodies.

Ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous.

"Aren't they afraid of the wrath of the gods?"

The man sighed deeply, shook his head and said, "They have mastered the Chaos Box and are trying to control the Flower Speaker through these technologies."

"Is this the reason why Sand City has become like this..."

Su Li roughly understood it, but he was still a little confused as to why so many changes occurred in such a short period of time.

There was only one possibility that Su Li could think of, and that was the problem of the flow of time.

"Excuse me, how much time has passed according to the outside time while I was sleeping?"

The man replied: "Three months."

Su Li was completely shocked this time. He couldn't believe his ears and asked, "Three months?! Are you sure it's three months, not three hours or three days?"

The man nodded and explained, "In our Sand City, there is no distinction between day and night, so our sleeping patterns are different from those outside. Rather than sleeping, it's more like hibernation."

Su Li slowed down, then everything could be explained. After all, a lot did happen in three months, and no one knew what was happening to Xingji now.

Su Li must solve the current problems as soon as possible and rush back to Xingji, otherwise everything will be too late.

"Well, sleeping for so long really goes against common sense... does this also mean being awake longer?"

"Well, for every three months of deep sleep, I can basically spend about five months without feeling extremely sleepy without having to hibernate."

Su Li looked at the sky of Sand City. Those dim crystals seemed to be announcing that everything was about to end.

"Okay, I already know the general situation. Now Xiao Huiguo... the king is still in the main hall, right?"

"Yes, are you really willing to help stop this from happening?"

The man's hands couldn't stop shaking and he seemed a little excited.

"Well, the little Queen Huiguo is also my benefactor and friend. I have to go and save her anyway."

"Great. Before you leave, please come to my house. I have something to give you."

As the man spoke, he led Su Li towards the bustling residential area, but along the way he only walked through the flowery alleys, trying his best to avoid the crowds.

"People are going crazy now, and they are clamoring for those who hinder the rebellion plan to pay the price, so we have to be careful."

"Yes, I know."

Su Li knew very well how blind humans were in a group. As long as a wisp of evil wind blew, the entire group of people would go crazy.

Arriving at a remote residential area, the man took Su Li to a secluded forest house.

There are densely packed notes and various materials here. It seems that he has put a lot of effort into stopping the rebels.

"Oh, by the way, you can just call me Lao Xie. I prefer tilling machines and am very keen on mechanical research, so others like to call me Lao Xie."

"Well, my name is Su Li, and I'm from Xingji."

"Xingji? That's a big country. I heard it's much more prosperous than ours. I don't know how it's developing now."

Su Li remained silent and did not tell Lao Xie Xingji about his current situation.

After all, people have different lives and are born in different countries. They are all just devoting themselves to their respective countries. What’s the use of knowing about the affairs of other countries?

"Let's get down to business. What are you going to give me?"

Lao Ji searched through the documents, then found a few specially marked pages and handed them to Su Li, saying, "These are my key interpretations of the core of the tiller. Maybe they can help you."

Su Li took it and glanced through it briefly. To be honest, these are just the key drawings of the tilling machine!

As long as you have these blueprints, plus some system modules and chaos energy, you can produce a tilling machine.

“Is this a manufacturing diagram?!”

Su Li was a little surprised. He didn't understand why the other party was willing to hand over such an important thing to an outsider.

"Haha, these are my personal research. The weaknesses of the tiller are also marked. This incident made me realize that these things cannot fall into the hands of waiters."

So it was handed over to an outsider for safekeeping, and how it was used or whether it could be used had nothing to do with him.

"Well, I understand, thank you."

Su Li accepted the blueprint and planned to study it carefully when she had time. Maybe it would be useful in the future.

Lao Xie coughed violently twice, then slumped weakly in the chair and said to Su Li:

"I'm fine, I'm just too tired... After all, I haven't rested for a long time."

Su Li nodded, "You should have a good rest, I will take care of these things."

"Well, the rest is up to you... the holder of the Eye of God."

After saying that, he lowered his head, lay down on the table and fell into a deep sleep.

Su Li smiled slightly. It seemed that the other party trusted her so much not only because of Little Huiguo King, but also the most important factor was that he saw Su Li's strength.

In the Sand Region, it seemed that no one except the Little King Huiguo possessed the Eye of God.

It seems that this country relies only on machines.

After leaving the residential area, Su Li did not hesitate and headed directly towards the main hall.

But when passing the farming area, Su Li suddenly stopped. It had been a long time since he had eaten, so he couldn't help feeling a little hungry.

"Hey! Who are you?"

Before she could think about it, someone suddenly called Su Li, "Don't you know that you can't come here now?"

As the ground shook slightly, Su Li turned around and saw a waiter walking towards him with a tiller.

Su Li smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, I just woke up from sleep and I'm a little hungry, so I wanted to find something to eat."

"Just woke up? That's great. You should already know what's going on now."

The waiter looked at Su Li, then took out a wisdom fruit from his pocket and handed it to him, saying, "I see you are quite strong. Are you interested in joining the new army?"

Su Li took the Hui Guo, took two bites, and then replied: "Are there any benefits?"

The waiter laughed disdainfully and said, "How despicable! Are you obsessed with money? This is an honor. As long as you work hard, promotion is not a dream. Do you understand?"

Su Li nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "If there is such a good thing, I will definitely join."

The waiter smiled, patted Su Li on the shoulder and said:

"You are smart. Go to the main hall and say that you were recommended to join the legion. Someone will guide you later."

"Well, thanks for the advice, I'll go now!"

Su Li said goodbye to the waiter and continued to move towards the main hall.

The most important goal now is to confirm Xiao Huiguo's safety. It is better to avoid fighting before understanding the specific situation.

Pretending to become a member of the rebels, it would be best if he could use this to sneak into the main hall. Su Li didn't want to waste too much time on those who tried to stop him.

Su Li didn’t know what happened to Xiao Huiguo. After all, three months had passed since she slept. Maybe she had also slept for so long like Su Li.

Su Li was most worried about Xingji. She didn't know how much the situation over there had deteriorated. Perhaps it was too late...
