Void Jigsaw Puzzle

After passing through Shimeiping and walking across the Huihe Bridge, Guo Ling returned to District C of Kunlun City. After climbing over a few slopes, he finally arrived at Sifangping again.

This was the first area he arrived at when he came to Kunlun City, and perhaps it would also be the last area he passed by before leaving.

It was almost dusk again. Guo Ling was panting and rested for a while in a corner of the square. After he calmed down, he walked towards the Xie family shop with steady steps.

He didn't want them to see that he had walked all over Kunlun City today.

This time, the Xie family's shop wasn't closed yet. Presumably, it had closed early last time because the two of them had to rush to Bajieping in Area A to attend the official launch of the Kunlun Front.

As expected, Xie Cun was not in the store. The huge store seemed deserted. Only Xie Wanwan was sitting behind the counter, bored, with her head down, not knowing what she was doing.

Guo Ling coughed, and Xie Wanwan looked up, her eyes suddenly shining: "Brother Guo, where have you been? My brother has been looking for you all day!"

Guo Ling looked at Xie Wanwan's frail body and excited eyes. Although he felt sorry for her, he made up an excuse: "I'm really sorry. This is my first time staying overnight in Kunlun City. I was curious about the topography here, so I left the hotel early this morning and wandered around. But I remember leaving a note for your brother at the hotel."

"It's because he saw your note that he became more worried. Kunlun City is not as peaceful as you imagined. Life is hard for everyone and it's easy for conflicts to arise over trivial matters. He is worried that you, an outsider, will suffer." Xie Wanwan was obviously very worried.

Guo Ling felt a little touched and quickly comforted him, "Don't worry, I'm fine, right?"

"Well, that's good. Brother Guo, please stay here with us for a while. When my eldest brother comes back, we can have dinner together. He is very optimistic about you and hopes to establish connections with you through you. He believes that since we all have the same origin, we should cooperate well."

Hearing this, Guo Ling felt a little pain in his heart.

This Xie Cun has already married his own wife.

However, he quickly adjusted his mood and waved his hand: "I appreciate your kindness. You don't have to wait for me to eat dinner. You can also cancel your hotel room. I'll pay you the room fee here. I have something else to do and need to leave Kunlun City immediately."

Upon hearing this, Xie Wanwan revealed a hint of disappointment and said helplessly, "Then... can you wait for my brother to come back and at least say hello to him before leaving? Also, please don't give us the hotel money. We're so happy to have friends coming from afar."

Guo Ling thought to himself, "I'm afraid it's difficult to fulfill your wish."

He quickly took out a stack of cash and stuffed it into Xie Wanwan's pocket without saying a word. In the process, he touched her hand, which was cold.

Xie Wanwan's face flushed red after being treated like this by Guo Ling. She no longer refused and let him put the money into her pocket. She also wiped it hard with her hand, saying, "Don't take it out and give it back to me."

After completing all this, Guo Ling felt as if he didn't owe the brother and sister anything. Finally, a question came to his mind, so he asked, "Yesterday you mentioned that in addition to the Hydrogen and Helium tribes, you also have contact with the Carbon tribe. What is this tribe like? What are their characteristics? Tell me about them."
