Chapter 202: Elite Blaster Klee

(I don't dare to do Cyno's Legend Two~~~)

Nadixa's side hasn't ended yet.

Although he hadn't received her message, with the lady present, Luo De could tell with his heel that the meeting at the Pure Goodness Palace definitely wouldn't be pleasant.

"Just wait slowly."

For now nothing's happening, so Luo De sent a message to Dixiya.

But he hasn't yet received a reply.

A blast sounded, and Luo De could no longer focus his thoughts on the Void Terminal.

Following the source of the explosion.

Luo De's expression unchanged, he rushed over at top speed.

Soon.

He quickly arrived at the accident scene.

When he saw that small red figure with its head lowered, clutching the corner of its clothes, Luo De unsurprisingly pushed through the crowd and walked over.

Now, Hope City's temporary overseer Kantisi hasn't arrived yet, Dixiya and Cyno also haven't arrived, and only the dust-covered Ka Wei is negotiating with A Beiduo.

Come closer.

Then one could hear A Beiduo still apologizing, saying he would fully compensate for the destruction caused by his sister.

Wearing a safety helmet and covered in dirt and dust, Ka Wei squatted on the ground, picking up each piece of the blown-apart building debris and carefully examining them.

After a while.

Ka Wei stood up, looked at his expression, and not only was he not angry, he was excitedly waving the brick fragments in his hand: "You just said, that bomb was made by your sister yourself?"

"Yes, Klee she."

A Beiduo paused slightly, as if recalling something unpleasant, then said with a slight headache: "She has a talent for this."

"Is that so?"

Upon hearing that answer, Ka Wei's eyes lit up again, excitedly asking: "Then can you produce this bomb? If so, how much? Can you sell us some?"

"Huh?"

A Beiduo, still waiting for Ka Wei to name a compensation price, was stunned for a moment.

Not first demanding compensation for the loss, but instead wanting to buy Klee's bombs?

"That's right."

"You came from A Ru Cun, right? You must have seen the terrain along the desert route."

"Those stone hills blocking the road, you've seen them too, right?"

"When we were building the road connecting Hope City and A Ru Cun, these stone hills weren't just a minor obstacle, but with our current technology, trying to break through this kind of hard rock is no small trouble; sometimes after trying for a long time we still can't break those stones, so we have to redraw the plans, re-survey the geology, and waste manpower, material, and precious time to build a detour around the stone hills."

Ka Wei grew more excited as he spoke: "Your sister's bomb has great power; if you're willing to sell it to us, using these bombs we can more easily blast those stone hills, thus greatly speeding up our road construction progress."

Luo De, who had just squeezed over, happened to hear that sentence; his earlier worry that Ka Wei and A Beiduo might clash instantly vanished.

Using Klee's Bouncy Bombs to blast mountains and break stones.

That really is a good idea.

Nadixa had mentioned this before.

Actually, the Elementalist School also produces alchemical explosives.

However, due to the overly complex terrain of the desert, many ordinary explosives can't blast the mountain rocks; only specially customized explosives can work, and they require many cumbersome steps.

Blasting mountains is also a field of study.

Using a huge amount of explosives to level a mountain is fine in itself, but this approach has a high budget and high danger; the shockwave from detonating enough explosives to flatten a mountain is extremely strong, and if it kicks up sand and stones, a miscalculation could easily cause massive casualties.

Moreover, the daily transport volume between Hope City and A Ru Cun is enormous; forcibly blasting the mountains would severely disrupt the transport of supplies.

But what if those road-blocking rock hills aren't blasted open?

Using custom explosives to open a road is also slow, and this low-efficiency problem continually troubles the road design and construction team.

That's why Ka Wei is so interested in Klee's Bouncy Bombs.

It's because this bomb can actually shatter the alchemical building materials they use when constructing houses.

You should know these alchemical building materials are also high-strength products from the Elementalist School—lightweight yet extraordinarily tough, matching the difficulty of breaking those troublesome giant rocks in the desert.

Yet these alchemical building materials, in the explosion caused by Klee's Bouncy Bomb, were easily blown into fragments.

Then, putting it another way:

Using this Bouncy Bomb, whose power far exceeds that of same-volume custom explosives, as long as the detonation amount is calculated correctly, it can quickly blast a straight passage through the road-blocking stone hills, shortening the transport distance between Hope City and A Ru Cun.

If the price isn't high, this is obviously the best road-building tool available right now.

"Hey, Luo De, you came at just the right time; this guest from Mondstadt whom you brought, come help me speak."

"Oh dear—"

"You also know the difficulties we encounter when building roads; this bomb's arrival is truly timely."

As soon as Luo De approached, Ka Wei immediately focused his attention on Luo De, wanting him to speak more on his behalf, and preferably to bring back more of these bombs.

"Stop!"

"I know very well what's going on with the road construction."

Luo De hurriedly cut off Ka Wei's long-winded speech, then smiled and looked at A Beiduo: "Mr. A Beiduo, what do you think of what Ka Wei said?"

"Bouncy Bombs aren't hard to make."

A Beiduo only said that, then shifted his gaze to Klee: "As for whether to help you, it's up to Klee."

This problem is easily solved.

Luo De bent down, squatting in front of Klee, grinning like a bad uncle luring a little girl with candy: "Little Klee, you're probably tired of blasting fish in Mondstadt; want to go blast some mountains for fun? Don't worry, Jean isn't here, you can blast whatever you like—I'll take responsibility if anything happens, and no one will lock you up."

Watching Luo De there patting his chest to guarantee, even the usually composed A Beiduo couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Allow Klee to freely blow up mountains.

You really dare to say that.

The words that worried Abeido's newborn fell into Klee's ears, yet they were nothing less than heavenly music, even more delightful than the adventure stories her mother told her.

Really, they won't put Klee in confinement, right?

Klee, who had been anxiously wondering whether she would be punished, immediately perked up and once again confirmed with Luo De what he had just said.

Of course.

In this City of Hope, aside from the Little Auspicious Grass King, I'm the one whose word is final.

I said no one will confine you, so definitely no one will confine you.

You go blow up mountains with that blond big brother, play however you like, until you've had enough.

Luo De pursed his lips at Ka Wei and made a promise.

So will Klee refuse such a good thing that she can freely play with?

The answer is, of course.

She won't!
