Chapter 103 Fishing for the Wind God with Dvalin, Klee's Bombing Game.
"This device—it's not just a simple physical weapon." He pointed to the metal discs around the ballista, engraved with intricate patterns. "These are amplifiers. Combined with the alchemical array on them, the attacks it fires may have a corrosive effect on the mental level. If Dvalin is hit, he will likely fall into a deeper rage, or even be subjected to unbearable mental torture."
Lisa's expression grew increasingly grim. She said softly, "Since the catastrophe in Kanria five hundred years ago, the Wind God seems to have disappeared. In that battle, even one of the Seven Gods perished—do the Fools think that the Wind God also suffered an irreparable injury in that battle, that they are so brazenly seeking the Heart of God?"
They were unaware that Wendy had actually appeared several times over the past five hundred years, but he simply didn't like to reveal his identity.
Qin's knuckles turned slightly white from the force she exerted. She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
"Everyone, the situation is clear now. We must not only stop the Fools' plot and protect the upcoming badminton festival, but more importantly, we must protect our gods."
She looked at the map of Mondstadt on the table, her brow furrowed.
"I have an idea: immediately announce the cancellation of this year's badminton festival, or move the banquet venue from the Dawn Winery to the city center. This would minimize the risk to the public."
Kaeya immediately shook his head: "No, there isn't enough space in the city to accommodate so many people. Besides, this badminton festival has attracted a large number of Liyue merchants, who have already arrived in Mondstadt. Orders and trade agreements are waiting to be finalized at the banquet."
Abruptly canceling or changing the decision would cause enormous chaos and economic losses, and the subsequent negotiations would be extremely complicated.
"I suggest we launch a direct attack and destroy that device in the Wind Dragon Ruins before they activate it!"
"That might not be a good idea either," Lisa expressed her concern. "If our knights enter the Wind Dragon Ruins in such a grand manner, and the Fools immediately launch an attack, Dvalin will also think that we are there to punish him. This would likely escalate the conflict even faster, playing right into the Fools' hands."
Qin was caught in a dilemma.
To fight or not to fight? To cancel or not to cancel?
Behind every choice lies countless troubles and unpredictable consequences. The atmosphere in the office suddenly became so heavy that it was hard to breathe.
Just then, Chen Bo, who had been listening silently, suddenly raised his hand.
"Um—Captain Qin, I have a question."
All eyes were on him.
"Our goal is simply to destroy the weapon that the Fatui have set up, right?"
Qin paused for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, it seems that as long as it can be destroyed, the Fatui's plan cannot be implemented."
"That makes things easier."
Chen Bo smiled, and amidst the puzzled looks of the crowd, he instructed Luna One to switch the image on the screen.
That was a demonstration video.
The demonstration video was not filmed live, but rather created by the god of wisdom.
For Nasita, creating a realistic virtual world is as easy as raising a hand, and synthesizing an animated demo video is even simpler.
However, to distinguish it from reality, this demonstration video has strong characteristics of an animated presentation.
In the video, a round, chubby aircraft resembling a "Dudu" is hovering in the air. As the control command is given, the vector nozzle at its bottom flashes blue light and instantly transforms into a streak of light, cutting through the sky at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.
The scene then switches to a shooting range.
The "Dudu" aircraft hovered hundreds of meters in the air, and then the hatch on its belly opened, dropping small bombs, also shaped like Dudu.
The bomb traced a beautiful parabola in the air and landed precisely in the bullseye area below.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
A series of violent explosions sent dust flying and flames shooting into the sky over the entire firing range.
The demonstration video is short.
"This is the Dodo Bomber I recently designed for Klee, and Klee needs to fill it with Bouncy Bombs."
"It flies very fast and can be remotely controlled. Our people don't need to get close to the Wind Dragon Ruins at all; they just need to stay at a safe distance, remotely control it to fly over, and drop the bombs on that ballista."
"Mr. Anil, you mean—" Qin's voice was somewhat hoarse.
"What I mean is, this is something that Keli can handle," Chen Bo said confidently.
Jean repeated, "Should we give it to Klee?"
"Yes," Chen Bo suggested seriously, "I think no one is more suitable for this mission than Klee. She has unparalleled explosive talent, and this is a gift I just made for her. We can take this opportunity to let Klee try it out and see if she likes it."
After saying that, Chen Bo added, "If Klee fails in her mission, I will deploy other models for a second strike."
The office quieted down for a moment.
Send Klee to carry out a secret bombing mission?
""
Qin's temples began to throb. It felt like a good idea, but something also felt off.
"Can't you take control?"
Chen Bo: "It won't work, because this is a gift I gave to Keli, and only Keli can control it."
Qin hesitated for a moment, but decided to respect the solution provider.
"—Okay, I'll go get Klee."
A short while later, Klee was called over.
When Klee poked her little head through the door, the first thing she saw was the thing floating in the center of the room.
It was a round, big guy that was several sizes bigger than her Dudu, and its appearance was almost exactly the same as her baby Dudu, only more imposing, with several shimmering nozzles at the tail.
In an instant, all the drowsiness vanished from Keli's mind.
"Wow!" She broke free from the piano's grasp, took short strides to the big one, tilted her head back, and her red eyes sparkled. "It's—it's a super big Dudu!"
Chen Bo smiled and stepped forward, placing a game controller with a screen into Keli's small hand.
"Klee, this is my new gift for you." He crouched down and said in a tone of sharing a secret, "It's a super fun flight and bombing game, want to try it?"
"Games?" Klee's eyes lit up even more. She nodded vigorously, like a chick pecking at rice. "I want to play! Klee loves playing games the most!"
The adults in the office had a variety of expressions.
Qin's temples throbbed, and she began to seriously doubt whether her decision had been too hasty.
Kaiya leaned against the wall with his arms crossed, a smirk playing on his lips. He found this situation even more interesting than the new wine from the Dawn Winery.
Lisa yawned, her lazy gaze fixed on Chen Bo. She was eager to see what tricks this scholar from Sumeru had up his sleeve.
