"Boom! Boom! Boom—!"
Explosions flashed one after another, and thick smoke and dust scattered.
The Hilichurls' wooden fences, makeshift watchtowers, and haphazardly stacked wooden crates were instantly blown to smithereens, leaving the entire gathering place in a mess.
However, Klee was not happy at all.
She stood rooted to the spot, arms crossed, cheeks puffed out, and brows furrowed.
"Hmm… no, no."
"This power… it's so bad…"
The little bomb expert frowned.
Watching the bombs she personally threw explode, the resulting effect was not as shocking as yesterday's super explosion, leaving her feeling inexplicably empty.
Yesterday, at Starfell Lake, when Big Brother Lin Mo helped her enhance the bombs, *that* was what a real explosion was called!
Flames shot into the sky, blasting a huge crater in the lake.
Even the surrounding ground was scorched.
Even the air was filled with a special aura of destruction.
After the explosion, Klee herself was shaken back a few steps, excited beyond words.
But what about today?
Today's bombs… exploded so ordinarily!
There was no shocking sense of a huge blast radius.
There was no oppressive force that destroyed everything.
Even the craters they created were many times smaller than yesterday's!
What kind of bombs were these?!
"Klee is unhappy!"
The little girl pouted, stomped her foot hard, and glared at the explosive remnants on the ground with puffed-out cheeks.
She looked utterly displeased, as if she had discovered her beloved toy was broken.
The next second, Klee suddenly turned around, her pair of red eyes sparkling as she stared at Lin Mo, asking with a face full of anticipation:
"Big Brother Lin Mo! Quickly, quickly! Help Klee enhance her bombs!"
Lin Mo: "…"
Meanwhile, Oz, flapping his wings nearby, looked thoughtful: "My lady, I think I understand… If the power of bombs can be enhanced so casually, then someone might become even more dangerous than the Abyss Order."
Yesterday, he and Fischl had witnessed the terrifying power Lin Mo could add to Electro Element arrow shots.
The subsequent explosive effect was terrifyingly chaotic.
If this power were applied to bombs, one could only imagine how terrifying the destructive force would be.
As an Electro Element creature, he knew it all too well.
After all, compared to arrows, bombs were far more terrifying in both range and power.
Fischl: "Hmph, this is the opportune moment woven by the gears of our Path! If Klee possesses such might, can Mondstadt truly endure it?"
Lin Mo: "…"
He genuinely did not understand that sentence.
"Fischl, clean up the site."
"Klee, take out your bombs first, I'll enhance them for you."
"Our mission is still primarily to find resources."
Lin Mo instructed Oz and Fischl.
While Fischl was working, Lin Mo also added Clara's Path branch skill to Klee's bombs.
Soon.
After Fischl had tidied up some of the spoils from the scene.
She took out a Kamera and took photos of the site as evidence.
And Lin Mo had already finished enhancing Klee's bombs.
Then he activated the Biowave Detector once again.
"Buzz—"
Accompanied by a familiar low hum, the Biowave Detector's light screen instantly unfolded in Lin Mo's hand.
Numerous faintly flickering light spots were densely spread across the display, almost filling his entire field of vision.
Lin Mo looked down, his gaze narrowing slightly.
The density of resources in this area was surprisingly high!
Even though it was only the edge of the Whispering Woods, the bright spots on the detector almost covered the entire screen.
It showed that collectible resources were hidden in all directions, making Lin Mo involuntarily gasp.
It was practically a natural treasure trove!
"Wow—! So many red dots!"
Klee leaned next to Lin Mo, looking at the dense array of light spots appearing on the detector, and exclaimed in surprise: "Big Brother Lin Mo, what is this?"
It was the first time she had seen this thing.
"This is a gift from fate; in the depths of destiny, we shall receive the bounty of this land."
At this moment, Fischl walked over.
Thinking of what she had personally witnessed and experienced yesterday, Fischl was filled with emotion.
Klee: "????????"
Hearing Fischl's words, Klee looked confused.
And Oz translated thoughtfully: "My lady means that we have struck it rich; these are all special resources of Mondstadt."
"Oh, I see."
Hearing this, Klee suddenly understood.
Immediately, Klee and Fischl followed Lin Mo.
Guided by the Biowave Detector, the trio continuously collected along the forest edge, stopping and going, almost like scraping the earth clean of weeds; they harvested all sorts of Mondstadt specialties until their hands were sore.
Eventually, Lin Mo simply gave up on common resources like windwheel aster and windwheel aster.
He directly selected the most valuable and rarest plants to pick.
Klee put the lumiberry fruits into her small backpack, intending to take them back to share with Acting Grand Master Jean.
Fischl carefully stored the windwheel aster, planning to see if there were any Adventurers at the Adventurers' Guild who needed them for trade when she returned.
As for the mist flower… Lin Mo collected it separately.
This was an extremely precious Alchemy material.
It could even be made into special Cryo-type potions, which were quite valuable.
Thus, collecting and moving forward, time passed without them noticing.
By the time the trio stopped, it was already afternoon.
Sunlight filtered through the trees, and the air carried the fresh scent of earth and plants.
And at their feet was a clear river.
"Phew—we finally made it here."
Lin Mo stood by the river, looking at the flowing water, and let out a slight sigh of relief.
Klee, on the other hand, squatted excitedly by the bank, dipping her hands into the water to feel the cool sensation, her small face full of excitement: "Hehe, so cool!"
"Once Klee is cool, she'll go fish blasting."
Fischl stood to the side, her eyes slightly narrowed, looking at the distant valley, seemingly deep in thought.
"This area… have we ever explored it?"
Oz replied: "My lady, this belongs to the edge of Starsnatch Cliff. According to previous intelligence, Hilichurls rarely appear around here, and even wild monsters are uncommon, but similarly, resources are also far less abundant."
Hearing Oz's words, Lin Mo's expression was slightly strange.
Because on the light screen of the Biowave Detector in his hand, an extremely dazzling bright spot appeared in the center of the screen.
This light even overshadowed the mist flower's marker.
Was this what Oz meant by "few resources" around here?
