“Big Brother Chen Mo!
Hurry, hurry!” “Coming, coming.” Whispering Woods, by the shore of Cider Lake.
Chen Mo had promised Klee last night that he would take her out to blast fish today.
Jean naturally knew nothing about this.
Seeing the two of them leave together, she only assumed that Chen Mo wanted Klee to take him around outside the city again.
However, Mondstadt had recently been suffering frequent windstorms, and dragons occasionally appeared as well.
Considering their safety, Jean did not allow them to go too far from the city.
At most, they were only permitted to walk around near the entrance of Whispering Woods.
Klee’s affection level has already reached 45 points.
If I put in a bit more effort over the next few days, I’ll definitely be able to unlock a third Stand before returning to Liyue Harbor!
He followed behind the little girl until they reached the lakeside.
“If I remember correctly, there should be a fishing spot around here.” Chen Mo narrowed his eyes and stared at the surface of the lake.
There were fewer fish in the water than he had expected, but the little girl did not care about that.
To Klee, as long as there was a place where she could throw bombs, that was enough.
Blasting fish was only the result.
What she truly enjoyed was the process of explosions.
She put down her backpack, took out all the bombs inside, and piled them beside her feet into a small mound.
Then she held up the now-empty backpack and ran over to Chen Mo, blinking her bright, sparkling eyes with all her might.
“Big Brother Chen Mo, can you hold Klee’s backpack for a while?” “Mm, of course.” Although Chen Mo also wanted to take this chance to relive the joys of childhood, his purpose for coming here was to increase Klee’s affection level.
If he got too absorbed in playing later and ended up leaving the little girl aside, that would be far too much of a loss.
He found a rock and sat down, quietly watching the little girl make trouble.
Whenever she occasionally blasted up a large splash of water, he would excitedly clap and praise her.
What he was providing was emotional value.
“Now that I think about it, Jean really does have a big heart.” “She actually feels at ease letting a foreigner she only met yesterday help her watch a child?” The wind stirred restlessly in the air, making the surrounding bushes rustle continuously.
Among the rows of green, a blue head would occasionally poke out.
The elegant reconnaissance knight had never imagined that she would one day be assigned to secretly follow and monitor a foreigner.
Eula held two leafy branches in her hands, hiding not far away as she secretly observed Chen Mo.
Her face was filled with unwillingness.
For this kind of sneaky mission, Amber was clearly the most suitable candidate.
“Jean, and that hateful Liyue man… I’ll remember this grudge!” A loud boom suddenly pulled Eula back to reality.
She looked toward the lakeside and saw a splash four or five meters high slowly falling back down.
One Medaka after another ascended on the spot, then fell beside Klee’s feet along with the lake water.
The little girl was soaked in lake water as she jumped around, looking completely unsatisfied.
“What is that Liyue man doing!?” “Who raises a child like this!?” Eula was so angry that she snapped the branch in her hand.
A crisp crack slipped into Klee’s long little ears.
The girl turned around suspiciously, frightening Eula so badly that she hurriedly pulled her head back.
“She didn’t see me, she didn’t see me…” “What’s wrong, little Klee?” “Hmm—” The little girl tilted her head and pointed toward the bush where Eula was hiding.
“There seems to be a strange sound over there.” “A strange sound?” Feeling two piercing gazes land on her, Eula gradually began to break out in a cold sweat.
If she were discovered like this, wouldn’t she lose all face?
However, in the next second, she heard Chen Mo say, “Maybe it’s a red fox, a squirrel, or some other small animal.
Let’s not bother her.” Eula secretly let out a sigh of relief.
Little did she know that, through Star Platinum’s eyesight, Chen Mo had already taken in every single one of her movements.
He could roughly guess that she was carrying out Jean’s orders, so he had no intention of exposing her.
“Big Brother Chen Mo, don’t just keep watching Klee!
Come blast fish with Klee too!” Two small hands grabbed Chen Mo’s fingers.
Klee pulled him over to the pile of bombs and rummaged through them until she found a Jumpy Dumpty bomb marked with ink.
“This is the Jumpy Dumpty that Big Brother designed.
Klee made sure to mark it properly!” Chen Mo’s body trembled.
He had only casually written down an internet rhyme from his previous life, but the little girl had actually made it!?
He had a bad feeling.
With a nervous heart, he took the bomb from Klee’s hands.
“This thing didn’t really turn into Big Ivan, did it…?” The little girl stared straight at Chen Mo.
Even though she did not say anything, Chen Mo felt as if he could hear her urging him, “Big Brother, hurry and throw it!” Considering Klee’s enthusiasm for bombs, she had probably already memorized that rhyme firmly in her little head.
Even if he destroyed this bomb right now, she would still make a second one when she had the chance and secretly bring it to the lakeside to test its power.
If that day really came, and there was no adult watching over her… What if the child got hurt?
At this point, not throwing it was no longer an option.
Chen Mo gritted his teeth and had Star Platinum possess him.
“Screw it!
Let’s do this!” The bomb was thrown several meters away.
The Jumpy Dumpty fell into the water, but there was still no sign of an explosion.
“Good thing it’s a failure…” Before he could finish feeling relieved, a thunderous blast rang out, and all the citizens of Mondstadt subconsciously raised their heads to look at the sky.
They were puzzled.
There were clearly no dark clouds in the sky, so where had that thunder come from?
Soon after, every citizen active outside the eastern walls of the city witnessed a strange sight.
On Cider Lake, a splash more than ten meters high had risen into the air.
“Damn!
It really did become Big Ivan!” By the shore of Cider Lake, fish rained down from the sky.
Little Klee had been blasting fish for years, but she had never had such a huge harvest before.
Her eyes sparkled, brighter even than Capturing Radiance.
She raised her little hands high and listened to one big fish after another slap onto the ground, excitedly repeating in song, “Big Ivan!
Big Ivan!” For a moment, her admiration for Chen Mo grew even stronger, and her affection level shot upward, reaching 59 points.
“This… this power…” “When did Albedo research such a terrifying bomb…?” Although Eula was a certain distance away from the lakeside, she had still been affected by the lake water.
She did not believe that Klee, at such a young age, could have developed a bomb with this much power, so she subconsciously assumed it was Albedo’s latest masterpiece.
But after calming down, Eula carefully reasoned through it again.
With Albedo’s steady personality, how could he possibly hand such a dangerous object over to little Klee to play with?
Her gaze locked onto Chen Mo, and a possibility flashed through Eula’s mind.
Could it be that this terrifyingly powerful bomb had actually been developed by Chen Mo?
As the culprit behind everything, Chen Mo looked toward the city wall on the opposite shore and saw the figures of the Knights of Favonius hurriedly leaving.
He could already foresee what kind of trouble he was about to face.
He touched little Klee’s head, then looked at the Crystalfish, flatfish, and even Rusty Koi scattered across the ground.
He could not help letting out a long sigh.
“In any case… let’s eat first.”
