Chapter 145 - Chapter 145 Little Klee and the Mining

This design is quite excellent; it can be ignited even by ordinary fire, meaning even regular humans can use it.

If an ordinary person without a Vision possessed such a jumpy dumpty bomb, they would have the power to fight back when encountering a Hilichurl in the wild, and perhaps even scare the Hilichurl away with the force of the explosion.

"If these bombs could be supplied to the Knights of Favonius, wouldn't that greatly enhance the combat power of the Knights of Favonius?"

"Even I thought of that, so the Acting Grand Master Jean, who spends time with Klee day and night, must have thought of this point as well."

Arkz rubbed the jumpy dumpty bomb in his hand, feeling somewhat puzzled.

However, when he saw Klee's small hands, he suddenly understood.

"So that's it. Klee is so young; even if she loves crafting jumpy dumpty bombs, she can't make many by herself."

"Moreover, the consumption rate of Klee's jumpy dumpty bombs is also astonishing, so very few jumpy dumpty bombs remain."

"Most importantly, how many Knights of Favonius are there in the Knights of Favonius, and how many people in all of Mondstadt can Craft jumpy dumpty bombs like Klee? No wonder Acting Grand Master Jean hasn't popularized the jumpy dumpty bomb throughout the entire Knights of Favonius."

Klee rummaged through her little backpack for a long time and took out a small candle. After igniting it with her Pyro Elemental Power, she tugged at Arkz's clothes and handed the Burning candle to Arkz.

"Brother Arkz, here is a candle for you."

"Okay, thank you, Klee."

Arkz took the candle, lit the white tail of the jumpy dumpty bomb, and threw it into the river.

Three seconds later.

Boom!!!

Huge waves erupted, sending big fish, small fish, big Crabs, and small Crabs flying. Arkz, quick as lightning, summoned vines to collect all the fish that had been blasted into the air.

"So great, so great!"

"Brother Arkz, a few more!"

After speaking, Klee took out another pile of jumpy dumpty bombs from her little backpack and stuffed them into Arkz's arms, then started throwing jumpy dumpty bombs into the river by herself, cheering nonstop afterward.

"Boom!"

"Hee-sha!"

"jumpy dumpty bomb!!!"

Infected by Klee's cheerful sounds, Arkz also experienced the joy of fishing with explosives. The massive sound felt like a friend's cheer, the splashing waves were gentle encouragement, and the flying small fish and shrimp were gifts from the Anemo Archon... uh, gifts from nature.

Arkz shouted, took the lit jumpy dumpty bomb in his hand, and joined Klee's fishing team.

Arkz quickly used up all the bombs Klee had given him. Feeling unsatisfied, Arkz crafted a few jumpy dumpty bombs himself.

[jumpy dumpty bomb: Explosion radius 5 meters. Rocks, ores, and gem veins within the explosion range will drop corresponding items, but it will destroy collectible minerals and monsters within the range.]

[Note: Perhaps you can use it for mining; it will bring you a surprise.]

[jumpy dumpty bomb (Arkz Version) Recipe: Iron Ore * 4, Coal * 1 (Unlocks at Mining Level 6).]

After Arkz obtained Geo Elemental Power, his mining efficiency greatly increased. Especially after he learned the advanced Geo Element technique, "resonate," from Zhongli, Arkz's clones could now hang up to mine after entering a mine tunnel by placing a Geo pillar near the ore vein that could resonate with the ore.

With such blatant cheating, Arkz's mining level soared. His mining level had now surpassed Level 6, and naturally, the recipe for the jumpy dumpty bomb was unlocked.

Arkz certainly didn't lack Iron Ore and Coal, so he casually crafted a few Arkz Version jumpy dumpty bombs and threw them toward the riverbank.

The power was actually quite good.

The only drawback was that compared to Klee's jumpy dumpty bombs, the bombs Arkz made looked like big black balls and weren't cute at all.

Seeing this scene, Klee naturally became even happier.

"So Brother Arkz also knows how to Craft bombs like Klee, and also likes playing with bombs! That's wonderful!!!"

Looking at the bombs in Arkz's hand, Klee couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Brother Arkz, are these bombs you crafted? Can we exchange them?"

"Of course."

Arkz crafted many more bombs himself and exchanged them for Klee's jumpy dumpty bombs.

These jumpy dumpty bombs had good power, and they looked quite cute, making them quite good as collectibles.

After Klee received the bombs Arkz made, she couldn't help but cheer because the crafting quality of these bombs was completely on par with hers. Whether it was the packing of the explosives or the sealing of the bomb, they were completely no less than the bombs she made.

The might of the System is truly terrifying.

Seeing Klee's admiring gaze, Arkz felt proud yet somewhat embarrassed.

He didn't understand bomb crafting; the things he usually interacted with most were Seed Bombs. The bombs in front of him were crafted using the System's Craft ability.

Faced with Klee's questions and requests for guidance, Arkz could only change the subject.

"Klee, do you know about blasting for ore?"

Klee was full of question marks and asked curiously:

"Klee knows about fishing with explosives, but doesn't know what blasting for ore is?"

Arkz smiled confidently: "Blasting for ore is using bombs to blast out the hidden ores in a mine tunnel, and at the same time, using bombs to blow up the monsters hidden inside the mine tunnel."

"Most importantly, every explosion must control the bomb's power well so as not to collapse the mine tunnel."

"So compared to fishing with explosives, blasting for ore is more exciting, more dangerous, and demands more from a bomber!"

"Wow! There's such a fun game!!!"

Klee's eyes lit up instantly after hearing Arkz's explanation. Fishing with explosives, while fun, she was already tired of it. But she hadn't tried blasting for ore yet!

It sounded very exciting!

Arkz raised his index finger: "There's more."

"What else is there?" Klee quickly asked.

Arkz wiggled his finger: "Blasting for ore is completely legal in Mondstadt."

"This means if Klee is caught fishing with explosives by Acting Grand Master Jean, she will be locked in solitary confinement."

"But if Klee goes blasting for ore, she won't have to worry at all about being punished by Acting Grand Master Jean!"

"Wow! That's great!!!"

"Klee won't be caught by Acting Grand Master Jean!"

"Klee wants to blast for ore, Klee wants to blast for ore!"

Hearing that she could legitimately play with jumpy dumpty bombs, Klee immediately jumped up happily, wrapping her arms around Arkz's neck and acting spoiled, hoping Arkz would take her to play the ore-blasting game.

"Brother Arkz, Brother Arkz, Klee is begging you."

"Take Klee blasting for ore!"

Arkz felt the intimate clinging of little Klee, and a look of successful planning spread across his face.

Hehehe, the cute, free little helper is back in position!

"Cough, cough."

"Klee, it's getting late. If you don't go back, Acting Grand Master Jean will worry."

"After Klee goes back and discusses it with Acting Grand Master Jean, shall we schedule a time to go blasting for ore together, okay?"

Looking at the bucket full of fish and shrimp in Arkz's bucket, and then looking at the sunset in the sky, Klee obediently nodded.

Although she couldn't go blasting for ore today, Klee still had a very happy time.

Escorted by Arkz, Klee carried a bucket of river fish, Crabs, and shrimp, all cooked by bombs, and returned to the Knights of Favonius Headquarters in Mondstadt City.
