Chapter 407: Chapter 407 Fireworks and Games_1

"Hey! That’s not the point! Where on earth did you get high-powered explosives?"

Qi Xiaoshuang shouted at Feng Yuan, scratching Pomiti’s fluffy pointed ears, while Feng Yuan calmly said,

"Got them from Granny Mianlan, she has quite a few similar items."

"Would Granny really let you use something so dangerous?"

Glancing at Qi Chen, Feng Yuan disdainfully said,

"Dangerous or not depends on whose hands they’re in, and I’m not going to use them for anything dangerous."

"I always feel like you took them without asking..."

"What do you mean ’took them without asking’! Granny didn’t say no, so that obviously means I can use them~"

Under Qi Chen’s intense gaze, Feng Yuan shrank back guiltily and whispered,

"Even though Granny didn’t see, I didn’t steal them... I did ask Yun You, and I also returned them afterward."

"You little rascal..."

Qi Chen instantly knew that Feng Yuan had never asked Granny, and as for Yun You, Qi Chen was well aware of her personality; as long as Feng Yuan said sweet words and promised, she usually didn’t inquire too deeply about what he intended to do. She treated Feng Yuan like an indulgent older sister spoiling her younger brother.

"If you’re wanting to set off fireworks, I have some Crystalline Bombs seized from Odinis that you could probably modify."

Qi Chen looked incredulously at Agunas’s phantom and asked,

"Why would you..."

"He can handle those things well enough. Despite not being very reliable on a regular day, he’s never done anything to endanger others’ safety."

Hearing the explanation from Agunas’s phantom, Qi Chen had trouble accepting it, but Qi Xiaoshuang didn’t mind, her curiosity piqued as she stared at Agunas’s phantom and asked,

"Can those Crystalline Bombs be modified into fireworks too?"

"Should be possible, where’s the stuff?"

Feng Yuan reached out to Agunas’s phantom for the items, and after casting a glance at Feng Yuan, Agunas’s phantom solidified gradually, glaring at Feng Yuan before saying in a surly tone,

"Do you think my avatar can transport items across continents?"

"Isn’t that what’s happening now?"

"Here you go."

Agunas pulled out several crystals flickering with colored light and tossed them to Feng Yuan. The crystals, surrounded by a quickly appearing circle of Dark Gold Runes, gently landed in Feng Yuan’s hands. After carefully examining the crystals, Feng Yuan thought for a moment and said,

"Seems like they can be modified, but the energy density is too high; they need to be split up."

"Hey, where are you going?"

Seeing Feng Yuan about to leave, Qi Chen asked, puzzled, and Feng Yuan, shaking the crystals in his hand, answered,

"To handle this. You surely wouldn’t allow me to do it inside the house, right?"

"Definitely not! You’d better go somewhere far away! Wait up, I’m coming with you."

Qi Chen was still worried about Feng Yuan; after all, those things were bombs, and even though Feng Yuan was strong, a real explosion could be dangerous for the surroundings, if not for him.

"Is that really necessary..."

Feng Yuan said helplessly but still stood at the door waiting for Qi Chen. Qi Xiaoshuang, curious, followed the two to a green space not far from the neighborhood. Seeing Qi Chen still wanting to go further, Feng Yuan said incredulously,

"Isn’t this far enough?"

Looking at the nearby community wall, Qi Chen hesitated, and Ah Mu, following behind, was puzzled about what the three were doing outside so late. After glancing at Feng Yuan, who placed the crystals on the ground and took out the black Ancient Book, Agunas’s phantom asked with some confusion,

"Why do you need to use its power?"

Feng Yuan, giving Agunas’s phantom a sidelong look, said irritably,

"What other power do you think I can use right now? Almost all of them are occupied."

As the pitch-black Ancient Book slowly emitted a dim glow, the crystals, enveloped by dark gold Runes, gradually floated in the air, radiating a soft light. After a while, the crystals slowly transformed into a liquid shimmering with light, and under the night sky, the translucent fluorescent liquid looked especially beautiful.

"Don’t touch it!"

Seeing Qi Xiaoshuang moving forward, Feng Yuan hastily shouted, and Ah Mu quickly blocked her with vines. Moments later, as the liquid kept increasing and expanding, Qi Chen said with some confusion,

"What in the world..."

As the liquid continued to multiply, the flickering glow finally began to dim until it resembled the dazzling Star River in the sky. Then, Feng Yuan waved his hand, and the large pool of liquid quickly dispersed and solidified into small crystals. Looking at the sparkling crystals on the ground, Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"So many – this should be enough."

"Wasn’t it supposed to split? Why does it look even prettier than before?"

Qi Xiaoshuang picked up a small crystal with some confusion. The small crystal in her hand emitted a faint light. Suddenly, Pomiti rushed out, grabbed a relatively large crystal, placed it on top of her head, and happily danced around. Feng Yuan, somewhat amused, took the crystal from Pomiti’s hand and placed it back with the other crystals on the ground, saying,

"Isn’t this normal? The crystals before contained a lot of energy, so of course they didn’t have this transparent appearance, and the energy within was rather complex."

"Can these crystals still explode now?"

Qi Xiaoshuang tossed the crystal in her hand and asked.

"Of course, although the power has diminished, achieving Good Level destructive force is still no problem. It’s just that the range has decreased a bit, to about a radius of fifty-seven meters."

Upon hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Qi Xiaoshuang, who was juggling the crystal, got scared and fumbled, letting the crystal slip from her hand toward the ground. Glancing at Ah Mu, who timely caught the crystal with his vines, and at Qi Chen beside her, who looked anxious, Feng Yuan calmly said,

"Don’t worry, now these crystals won’t explode due to physical impact. To make them explode, they must be struck by energy, otherwise, fireworks can’t be made."

Qi Chen, seeing Ah Mu carefully placing the crystal back on the ground, let out a sigh of relief. Approaching Qi Xiaoshuang, he gave her a scolding, furious that she would dare to act like that despite knowing the items were explosive, especially since she wasn’t as capable as Feng Yuan to protect herself in case of an explosion.

After pulling Qi Xiaoshuang aside for a while, Qi Chen leaned on Ah Mu, watching Feng Yuan manipulate the crystals. As the night temperature was gradually falling, he wrapped himself tighter in his coat. Ah Mu’s hands shielded both sides of Qi Chen, continuously sprouting vines to block the chilly breeze that was picking up at night.

"All set – done."

"Are we setting them off now?"

Qi Xiaoshuang looked at the crystals in Feng Yuan’s hand with some anticipation. With Feng Yuan stuffing the crystals into his pocket, he laughed and said,

"Not for now. With just that small amount, don’t you think it’s more meaningful to set them off during the New Year’s countdown?"

"Then I’m looking forward to your performance later."

As the three conversed, they returned home. At that time, it seemed Qi Chen’s mother and aunt had slipped into a room to whisper, leaving only the New Year’s Gala playing on the TV in the living room. Sitting on the carpet in the living room, Feng Yuan smiled at the two and asked,

"What shall we play now? Cards?"

Glancing at the cards in Feng Yuan’s hand, Qi Xiaoshuang said,

"Forget it, we don’t understand your card rules at all; there’s no way we can beat you."

"Then..."

"How about this?"

Feng Yuan, struck by an idea, pulled out a Metal Chessboard. The board had only a winding path from start to finish, marked with small squares. On both sides of the path were beautifully crafted models of natural environments, and alongside some paths, there were small models of various Spirit Beasts and Divine Beasts.

"What is this? Why do I sense a powerful force from it?"

The phantom of Agunas looked at the chessboard in Feng Yuan’s hands with some confusion. It sensed a force from the board not weaker than its own body. Feng Yuan placed the chessboard on the ground and said,

"This is a toy I crafted, inspired by something – don’t worry. The game space will be separate from reality, in a Mirror World. Whatever happens there won’t affect reality."

Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan with curiosity and asked,

"Could it be some kind of dangerous game?"

"How could that be! Why would I invite you if it were dangerous?"

"How do we play it?"

Qi Xiaoshuang, intrigued, fiddled with the chessboard, and found that the seemingly delicate models were surprisingly sturdy.
