Chapter 94 Lisa's joke, and Claire and I go into the snow mountain together, ice skating, skiin
Chapter 94: Lisa's joke, going into the snow mountain with Keli, ice skating, skiing, and trampoline.
Chen Bo shook his head and confessed frankly, "No, I came here to hunt the Lightning of No Form."
He pointed to the pair of flame wings behind him that had completely receded: "These are the Formless Wings I forged using the Formless Flame, and they are also my Formless Avatar."
"I want to use the Lightning of the Formless to forge another pair of wings, and also, I'd like to participate in the badminton festival."
"However, before setting off, I need to strengthen this Formless Flame. I need a large enough alchemy array to fuse a massive amount of fire element crystals to enhance its power."
Can the formless element be refined into multiple clones?
This crazy idea surprised both Jean and Lisa; it was truly a genius idea.
And it has already succeeded.
"An interesting idea." Lisa's eyes sparkled with keen interest. "However, little cutie, if you fail to perform this kind of high-level elemental fusion in the city, you might turn the entire Mondstadt into a barbecue grill."
Qin nodded, her expression grave: "Lisa is right, this is too dangerous."
She pondered for a moment and then offered a suggestion.
"Amber, take them to the snowy mountains to find Abedo."
"If it were him, he might be able to provide a suitable venue and technical support."
Klee was very excited when she heard that they were going to find Abedo and said she wanted to go too.
Qin's suggestion is reasonable; when it comes to alchemy, Abedo is more suitable.
Chen Bo thought about it and realized that the snow mountain was indeed a good place to set up a fire-attribute alchemy array. He didn't have to worry about making a mistake that would damage the forest or something.
Upon hearing that they were going to the snow-capped mountains to find Abedo, two small flames instantly ignited in Klee's bright red eyes.
She ran to Qin's desk, her little hands gripping the edge, her face upturned, her voice sweet and clear: "Commander Qin, Commander Qin! Keli wants to go too! Keli misses Brother Abedo!"
"No, Klee." Jean instinctively pressed her forehead, her tone serious. "The snow mountain environment is harsh and dangerous. You can't go."
"Klee will be very good!" The little girl immediately held up three fingers, promising earnestly, "Klee will absolutely not throw bouncy bombs around! She'll only—she'll only throw them in the safe place that Brother Abedo points out!"
Qin's expression remained unchanged: "The place Abedo specified won't work either."
Seeing that Qin remained unmoved, Keli's lips trembled, and her eyes quickly filled with tears, looking aggrieved as if she was about to cry.
Commander Qin's heart softened, but she sternly warned, "I keep the key to the solitary confinement cell in my pocket. If you dare—"
Klee answered immediately, "Klee knows! Klee will be the best, most obedient child in Mondstadt!"
"Great, we can go to the snow mountain!"
With the business settled, the atmosphere in the office relaxed.
Chen Bo suddenly remembered something and changed the subject: "Captain Qin, Senior Lisa, I have a question about the Badminton Festival that I would like to ask you."
Lisa lightly tapped her chin with her fingertips, her purple eyes sparkling: "Oh? Little cutie, if there's anything you want to know, just ask your senior."
"Since the three of us are foreigners, I wonder if there will be any restrictions on participating in the Mondstadt Badminton Festival?"
After asking the question, Chen Bo's gaze unconsciously drifted to Farusan beside him.
This little gesture naturally did not escape Lisa's notice.
Lisa rests her chin on her hand, is she trying to win a badminton shuttlecock for her senior?
"Of course there are no restrictions," Jean replied crisply. "Mondstadt is a free city-state, and Barbatos, the wind god, welcomes everyone who loves freedom. As long as you have the strength, anyone can participate in the competition."
Lisa picked up the conversation, her voice carrying a lazy laugh: "Qin is right. But, little cutie, the point of your question probably isn't about the competition, is it?"
She glanced meaningfully at Farusian, then turned her gaze back to Chen Bo.
"Are you asking if, if we win the match, we can designate a girl from Sumeru" to throw that lucky shuttlecock?"
Chen Bo's thoughts were directly exposed. Indeed, if Senior Falushan didn't introduce herself, everyone would probably mistake her for a young girl.
A blush crept onto Falussan's cheeks. She gave a soft snort, turned her head to the side, and muttered under her breath, "Who...who asked you to meddle! I just thought Mondstadt's traditional festivals were worth studying!"
This insincere attitude made Lisa laugh even harder.
"Of course!" Lisa covered her mouth and chuckled. "The girls selected by the badminton festival are chosen based solely on the champion's intentions, regardless of their background. As long as our champion is willing, not only senior Sumi, but even yourself..." Her gaze swept over Chen Bo from head to toe, and she drew out her words.
"—Wearing a skirt isn't something you can't give a try, right? I have quite a few beautiful skirts in my collection."
"puff!"
Amber almost spat out the sip of water she had just taken. No, it wasn't.
Cole's eyes widened in surprise. Was he just going to say it so bluntly?
Chen Bo's expression froze completely.
You mean, if I dress up as a woman, I can still be chosen as a teenage girl by the champion?
This is just too outrageous!
"Cough cough!" Qin coughed heavily twice, interrupting Lisa's increasingly outrageous teasing. "Lisa!"
"Don't joke around!"
She turned to Chen Bo and Flossan, whose faces were flushed, and said apologetically, "Sorry, Lisa just likes to joke around. Anyway, it's perfectly allowed according to the rules. Welcome to the Mondstadt Badminton Festival."
Chen Bo nodded: "Then let's set off for the snow mountain."
After bidding farewell to Jean and Lisa, the group left the Knights' headquarters under Amber's guidance.
Watching their departing figures, Lisa turned to Qin and said softly, "That little fellow named Anil is not simple. After all, Farusan is Sumeru's mentor. How can a student stand in front of the stage when you are out in the world?"
Qin nodded, her expression serious: "The ability to refine the formless element into clones is already quite extraordinary in terms of thought and execution."
"That's not what I meant," Lisa shook her head and said, "Didn't you notice? Cole's Demon Scales disease has been cured."
"I have treated Ke Lai before and was able to sense the special aura of that disease, but this time when we met, I could not sense it at all."
Leaving the Knights' headquarters, the group walked along the main street of Mondstadt.
Claire, carrying her little backpack, skipped and hopped at the front, her red figure standing out in the crowd.
Looking up at the azure sky, Cole asked, "Anil, shall we just fly there?"
Chen Bo shook his head and explained seriously, "The terrain and scenery of the snow-capped mountains are quite impressive. If we fly there directly, we will miss a lot of beautiful scenery."
"Perfect, let them follow us for a while," Chen Bo explained. "The unique extreme cold of the snow-capped mountains is a good stress test for mechanical components and energy systems. I need to collect some data on the armor's operation in low-temperature environments."
It perfectly combines tourism and scientific research testing.
As a result, the whole team was acting strangely.
Behind the three people were three humanoid mechs, which flew at a very low altitude, like balloons.
Farussan added, "It's also a good opportunity to observe the ecological and geomorphological changes in the Mondstadt region along the way."
"6
Cole couldn't help but laugh as the two of them earnestly described their outing as an academic expedition.
Luna 1, also known as Naxida, was not so lively.
This mecha is quite eye-catching.
Pedestrians and adventurers on the road were talking about it.
"Look, what's that? A new alchemical creation?"
"It doesn't look like it. It looks more like one of those mechanical puppets from Fontainebleau, but this is just too much—"
"The mechanical dolls in Fontaine walk on the ground, right?"
"It feels even more exquisite than the mechanical dolls in Fontainebleau."
Chen Bo paid no attention to these stares. He looked ahead with great interest. Ke Li, like a happy little rabbit, ran around on the grass, occasionally plucking a dandelion and blowing it away forcefully.
Amber and Cole walked together, chatting quietly and sharing their experiences since they parted ways.
Under the sunlight, the smiles of the two girls were brighter than dandelions in the wind.
Farusan, on the other hand, really seemed to be conducting an academic investigation, stopping every now and then to give a short explanation of the science behind a certain plant.
Chen Bo's expression of shock was perfectly timed, befitting his senior, Farusan.
"Brother Anil!" Klee suddenly ran back, pointing her little finger at the ethereal wings on Chen Bo's back. "Can we use your flame wings to grill meat?"
Chen Bo squatted down to be at eye level with Ke Li and said with a smile, "Theoretically, it's possible. If we encounter any delicious animals, we can give it a try."
"Yes!" Klee nodded vigorously. "I want to catch a wild boar."
As the group moved further away from Mondstadt and closer to the foothills of the Dragonspine Mountains, the temperature in the air began to drop sharply.
The wind began to carry cold debris, and the breath turned into white mist.
The biting wind was like a knife, slicing across everyone's faces.
"Phew—it's so cold."
Cole instinctively shrank his neck.
"Let me help everyone."
With a gentle flap of his formless wings, the flames on his surface began to flow, then differentiated and peeled away.
Five fist-sized, warm fireballs detached from the wings and hovered in the air, like living spirits, automatically flying to each person's side and slowly rotating around them.
A gentle warmth spread out, instantly dispelling much of the chill.
Klee skipped around, reached out and touched Chen Bo's Flame of No Form, then quickly withdrew her finger: "It's warm, not that hot."
Chen Bo said with a smile, "I just lowered the temperature in an emergency, Keli, don't touch the fireball carelessly next time."
The fireball was quite effective; snowflakes that fell within a meter of it melted silently.
Seeing snowflakes falling, Cole reached out her hand in surprise. The snowflakes landed on her fingertips, cold, but no longer the biting chill that used to trigger her illness.
"So this is what snow feels like."
As a child living in the rainforest, Cole had never seen snow.
Moreover, people with Devil's Scales are also very sensitive to cold; when the temperature drops, their whole body becomes stiff.
Amber, feeling the warmth of the flames, said, "Hehe, with Anil here, it feels like this snow mountain adventure has turned into a picnic."
"That's right, it's a picnic. In theory, my clone can also mimic a barbecue grill. If Klee catches a wild boar, we can have a barbecue party anytime," Chen Bo added seriously.
"Yay! Roasted wild boar!" Klee, who was walking in front, immediately raised her little hand and excitedly turned around to shout.
Many sections of the road in the snow-capped mountains are covered with ice.
Klee ran over excitedly.
Wow! Ice skating!
Klee cheered and took off on her short legs, her little red figure drawing an arc on the smooth ice before swaying on her bottom.
"Klee, be careful!" Amber said helplessly.
"It's alright, Amber," Chen Bo said. "After all, you've just come out of solitary confinement, so it's understandable that you'll be a bit more lively and release some excess energy."
Chen Bo looked at Ke Lai and said, "Ke Lai, do you want to try ice skating for a while? It's a lot of fun."
Cole said shyly, "I'm not a child anymore."
Chen Bo laughed heartily and started skating on the ground: "Who said this is something only children can play?"
"I think it's a lot of fun."
"Really?" Farusan also became interested, and imitated Chen Bo by running a few steps and starting to glide on the ice.
However, on my first time ice skating, I had very poor control.
Instead, he bumped into Chen Bo.
Farusian's face turned red instantly.
"Your senior is also very cute."
Farusan's earlobes also turned red: "What are you saying?"
Chen Bo helped Farusan sit up and began to chat seriously: "According to the mecha's readings, the test data on its adaptability to low-temperature environments is ideal. Although it wasn't specifically designed to adapt to low-temperature environments, the fire element pathway inside the mecha allows it to maintain a constant temperature."
Farusian nodded: "An expected conclusion."
The group of people strolled around and enjoyed themselves as they went.
Snow-capped mountains are also a great place to have fun.
Especially when it's not cold yet.
However, in the snowy mountain environment, Chen Bo also felt that the power of his Formless Fire clone was being constantly depleted.
If things continue like this, there is indeed a bit of danger.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the road ahead suddenly broke off, with a huge gap between the two sections that was more than ten meters wide.
Below the bridge lies a bottomless canyon, where a biting wind howls and howls, carrying icy debris that stings the face.
"Looks like the road's blocked." Amber walked to the edge of the broken bridge, peered down, and immediately pulled back. "It's too deep down, and the wind's too strong. We need to find another way around."
Taking a detour is completely unnecessary.
"No need for that."
Chen Bo, however, didn't seem to care. He raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
Dozens of floating cannons flew down from the sky.
All of Chen Bo's floating cannons remained in a flight-along state, always hovering above Chen Bo.
These floating cannons adjusted their posture, hovered between the broken stone bridges, and arranged themselves to form a series of evenly spaced aerial steps that stretched from one side to the other.
Amber opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything for a long time.
That's amazing.
But speaking of which, is this thing actually used like this?
"This...this works?" Amber murmured.
"Let's go." Chen Bo took the lead and stepped onto the first floating cannon. The floating cannon under his feet only floated slightly, as stable as if he were standing on solid ground.
The AI module adjusts the load in real time to maintain a dynamic balance. The adjustment frequency is extremely high, thus ensuring that the balance is always maintained.
Klee, on the other hand, found it very interesting.
"Wow! A high-flying springboard!"
She cheered, took a few quick steps, and jumped right up, her little body bouncing powerfully on the first floating cannon.
"Klee!" Amber exclaimed in surprise.
However, the floating cannon only sank slightly by less than a finger's width before instantly stabilizing and firmly fixing itself in place.
"This is so much fun!"
Klee completely let loose, hopping and skipping across the aerial staircase like a happy little rabbit.
Chen Bo said to Amber, "Don't worry, Amber, there's no danger. Even if Klee does fall into the air, my armor will fly over immediately and pick her up."
