Chapter 21 This thing can only be used in the Beast World

"sure."

"But you must remember, this can only be used when you are in danger and have no other choice. It must never be used as a toy."

"Uh-huh."

"What if I miss? Will I blow myself up?"

Captain He took out a few candy shells without any explosives from his pocket and handed them to her.

"Don't rush. First, practice your grip. Hold the tip like you're holding a pencil, straighten your arm, and aim for a point slightly below the target before throwing."

Come on, try throwing it at that red marker.

Yuanyuan took the "candy shell," stood firm like Captain He, and with a strong swing of her little arm, the "candy" drew an arc in the air and landed right next to the red mark.

The two breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, "She's so accurate on her first try, Yuanyuan is very talented."

Yuanyuan practiced throwing alone for half an hour, and then Captain He taught her how to quickly distinguish between real explosives and fake candy.

Real explosive candy wrappers have very fine silver lines on the inside, while ordinary candy wrappers are solid color.

“If you can’t remember, look at this little bump.” He pointed to the bottom of the “candy”. “You can feel a small dot here on a real one, but not on a fake one.”

"I'll practice."

As her aim became more and more accurate, Captain He gave her a real test throw.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, Yuanyuan was startled, then jumped up excitedly.

"It hit! It hit! It smashed!"

The wooden box, which originally had a large hole missing, was now broken beyond recognition.

"great!"

After the practice session ended, Captain He handed her a box filled with empty candy shells.

"Go back and practice throwing it. Remember, this explosive should only be used in the most dangerous situations."

Yuanyuan nodded vigorously and hugged the box to her chest.

"I see."

Just as Yuanyuan thought she could go back to rest, Captain He took something out of his bag. It looked like a silver chocolate bar, smaller than Yuanyuan's palm.

"This isn't chocolate; it's ten times more potent than the candy we just had."

As Captain He spoke, he pointed to a wrecked car in the distance, "It could blow that car to pieces."

Yuanyuan's eyes widened in disbelief.

Captain He, fearing she wouldn't understand its power, added another sentence.

"If it's an iron gate, just one piece is enough to blast a hole big enough for a person to pass through."

Yuanyuan stared at the "chocolate" and asked, "Can I touch it?"

Captain He handed it to her, saying, "It's okay, just don't drop it on the ground."

What will happen if it falls to the ground?

Gu Zheng coughed lightly, "All three of us will have to go to the hospital in bed."

Hearing him say that, Yuanyuan didn't dare to touch it anymore.

"Don't let him scare you, it's not that serious."

After much mental preparation, Yuanyuan finally mustered the courage to reach out and touch it. The surface was cool to the touch and had a checkered pattern, just like real chocolate.

"When you use this, you need to open the small cover on the side, press the red dot inside, and remember to throw it within ten seconds. After throwing it, run away immediately."

As he spoke, he demonstrated how to operate it to Yuanyuan.

With the practical experience gained from candy, operating this becomes much simpler.

Gu Zheng helped her put the candies and chocolates back into the box.

"Remember, these things are more dangerous than knives. You can only use them when you encounter wild beasts or when you don't have any orcs to help you. You must never take them out to play with them at other times."

Yuanyuan nodded vigorously and hugged the box even tighter.

Then, as if remembering something, Gu Zheng added, "It can only be used in the Beast World."

"Okay."

After confirming that she knew how to operate the system, Gu Zheng took her back to her room to rest.

Today is the last day in this world. Yuanyuan got up early and went to a small restaurant with Lu Yuan for lunch.

"Don't we have to study today?" Yuanyuan poked at the rice in her bowl and looked at Uncle Lu Yuan, who was peeling shrimp for her.

"You can rest well today. Yuanyuan, do you want to go out and play?"

"Is it okay?" She had been traveling back and forth between the Beast World and the Forestry Bureau for the past two weeks, and she hadn't gone shopping in a long time.

"sure."

"But I have no money."

Lu Yuan paused for a moment while peeling the shrimp, then smiled and put the peeled shrimp into her bowl. He wiped his hands clean and took out a pink and white cartoon wallet from his pocket.

“You’re now one of our internal staff members, so how can you not have money if you’re paid?”

Yuanyuan didn't understand what "employees with permanent positions" meant, but she understood the part about receiving a salary.

"Really?"

“Of course,” he handed over the small wallet, “there’s some change inside, and a card with your birthday as the PIN.”

Buy whatever you want—hair clips, little toys, sweet cotton candy—no need to skimp, there's plenty.

Yuanyuan clutched the soft wallet, her big eyes blinking, "Can I ask how much money is inside?"

She was afraid she wouldn't have enough money and wouldn't be able to pay the bill.

This has happened before. I would take the card my dad gave me to buy things, but the card wouldn't work. I was not only scolded and ridiculed, but I was also kicked out.

She didn't want to experience that kind of embarrassment again.

"Uncle doesn't know the exact amount, but you can rest assured that buying things won't be a problem."

Lu Yuan took a tissue and wiped her mouth. "After we finish eating, Uncle will take you shopping in Beijing. I heard there's a new mall there with everything."

"Yay!"

Yuanyuan looked up, her cheeks flushed with excitement, "Then let's finish eating quickly, I've never been to Beijing before!"

Lu Yuan couldn't help but laugh as he watched her hurriedly shovel rice into her mouth, and then picked up a piece of steamed pork rib for her.

"Don't rush, eat slowly. It's very close to Beijing from here."

I have a whole day to spend with you; that's enough time for you to shop around.

...

Lu Yuan took Yuan Yuan on a private jet to Beijing, where the plane landed on the rooftop of a hotel.

Lu Yuan first took her to the city center for shopping. At first, things were fine; Yuan Yuan had a lot of energy, and the two of them explored almost the entire mall.

"Uncle Lu Yuan, where can I buy hair clips?"

Lu Yuan showed her the mall guide, and they quickly found a store selling toys and accessories on the basement floor.

The store was huge, and the shelves were filled with dolls. Yuanyuan quickly found her target.

She pulled Lu Yuan by the hand and ran to the shelf where hair clips were displayed, which was filled with all kinds of hair clips.

Yuanyuan was dazzled by the choices and didn't know which one to choose; she liked them all.

I picked up two pieces, turning to ask for his opinion, when "thud!"

The hair clip slipped from her hand and fell to the ground.

I blinked, thinking I was seeing things, but when I looked again, the two people were still there.

How did they get here?

Her face grew paler and paler, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

Lu Yuan sensed something was wrong; her face had turned pale and her hands were trembling slightly.

"Is Yuanyuan feeling unwell?" Lu Yuan squatted down and asked with concern.

Yuanyuan kept her head down and gently shook her head.

He turned his head and looked over at Yuanyuan. Not far away, a mother and daughter were standing next to the doll shelf.

The woman in the burgundy dress was on the phone, while the girl next to her, with her hair in a high ponytail, was stomping her feet and begging the woman to buy her a doll.

The two people didn't notice this side.

Lu Yuan's heart sank. He immediately shielded Yuan Yuan behind him. "Yuan Yuan, let's not buy this. How about Uncle takes you to buy cotton candy instead?"
