Chapter 17

Thousands of people gradually gathered in the amusement park. It is now 5 o'clock in the afternoon and I left the stall selling buns with two sausages in hand.
"There are so many people here, Situ Liyao's performance is about to begin!"
"The Electric Spark Night is happening where Situ Liyao is performing. There are so many people. How can we squeeze in?" Qiong looked at more and more people pushing towards this side. Some even flew into the air using Magic. But there are restrictions on flying in the park, and the flying height cannot exceed one kilometer. If you don't mind the fatigue, you can float in the air while watching the performance.
"Let's fly up too. There are fewer people up there."
We had a sausage bun for dinner. If we wait a little longer, there won't even be any floating spots available.
"Don't you get tired from floating all the time?" Qiong wondered, knowing that my magic recovery time is longer than an average person, and floating in the sky consumes magic and stamina.
I reached into my pocket and took out a ring that looks identical to the one on my hand.
Qiong instantly understood: "So it's the 'L' particle! It saves a lot of magic power." Qiong put on the ring. The size of the ring is the same as every other one. When she put it on, the "L" particle system activated, and the ring contracted based on the heat from her finger.
"The contraction of this ring feels a bit rough. You know, girls' fingers can easily get hurt."
"Let me see... Oh, there's a slight red mark. I'll have the people in the lab fix it when I go back!"
When we flew up into the sky, the warm-up activities on the stage had just ended. The atmosphere was filled with smoke, creating a mysterious ambiance on the stage. Then, the protagonist appeared from the center. The entire stage was a teleportation array where actors and props were constantly transported in it, without the need for a red curtain or transitions. The performance went smoothly, with the program flowing seamlessly.
"Wow!" Whether they were in the air or on the ground, seeing their idol appear brought screams that shook the heavens and the earth. This was the climax of the amusement park.
"The scale of this show is even bigger than the one at our school! Situ Liyao is amazing, not at all timid in front of tens of thousands of people."
"Some people are just born to be great actors!" Among the ecstatic crowd, I was different from others. Situ Liyao's melancholy emotions occupied most of the stage. Her makeup was even stranger, as if she was hiding something.
Did something rare happen to her after she returned?
Situ Liyao's sadness was only a momentary thing. Her singing was performed flawlessly, not affected by her personal emotions. A good artist is one who can control their emotions at any time. Situ Liyao truly deserves to be the most popular campus singer. Even though this performance wasn't a solo show, she made a separate poster, showing her extraordinary status.
"Hmm?" When the audience's emotions were at their peak, everyone's mobile devices received an email from the amusement park.
The content was about the Electric Spark Night, which is a three-hour long giant fireworks feast. The condition to start the fireworks feast is for all the audience to use Thunder-type Magic together, but the required voltage is represented by a string of question marks! The attachment of the email was an electronic Thunder-type Magic formation. Although the principle of the transformed electronic Magic formation is the same, there may be some deviations in the effect due to the different quality of everyone's screen.
"The amusement park is also interesting. Each person has a Magic formation to allow non-Thunder-type Magic users to use Thunder-type Magic."
"Qin Yang, what do you think of this Magic formation?"
"It's too simple, but the power with tens of thousands of people using it together is not to be underestimated. What kind of fireworks require such high voltage and current?"
The music on stage started softly, and Situ Liyao seemed to find an outlet to release her emotions. It was a sad slow song that I had heard before, but it sounded different from the studio version. Situ Liyao's voice touched everyone's hearts, and the passion was frozen. Of course, Situ Liyao used magic to sing, but I didn't understand why she lacked confidence in her voice. Even if the organizers asked her to do this, she could have refused.
"It's getting dark, let's go down!"
"Can't we watch the fireworks from up here?"
Qiong placed her phone against my face and said, "It clearly says in the email that flying is strictly prohibited during the fireworks display to avoid any injuries."
"With my flying abilities, I can easily maneuver through the fireworks."
"You should conserve your energy. When watching fireworks, you need to relax and fully enjoy it!"
I never refused a girl's request or didn't want to.
The ground was crowded, and Qiong tightly held my hand, while I firmly grasped her shoulder.
"Actually, I really hate crowds."
"If you weren't a Demon Dragon or a Holy Dragon, then you'd definitely be a homebody."
"How could that be? Crowds are just unsafe. Just hold my hand and don't let go!"
Situ Liyao sang with a mesmerizing voice. The final sustained note marked the end of an hour-long performance. The teleportation array beneath Situ Liyao's feet was activated, and the lights within the array were designed to complement the scene with seven colors. For stage effect purposes, the teleportation was intentionally slow. Situ Liyao gradually disappeared, but her eyes, adorned with deep brown eyeshadow, slowly opened. It was as if she could really see me among the tens of thousands of people. We locked eyes, and she smiled sincerely.
"Am I that easy to recognize?"
"Huh?" Qiong didn't understand the meaning behind my words and was confused.
"If I were among these tens of thousands of people and you had to find me, do you think you could?"
"Using just my eyes, it would be impossible."
If it was impossible, then maybe I was overthinking it. Situ Liyao probably couldn't see me.
Soon after, a giant floating iron ball appeared on the scene, and five giant iron pillars with a radius of one hundred meters slowly ascended.
At the same time, another email from the amusement park arrived. The game was simple - electrify the ball until the magic defense on its surface was broken by thunder magic, and the fireworks display would begin.
Initially, a few thunder magic attacks were made here and there, but later, hundreds of them continuously struck the ball. With tens of thousands of people, this continued for dozens of rounds.
The five iron pillars were used to contain the lightning within that area. The amusement park had thought of everything.
"Qiong, let's see who can endure longer!"
"Endure? Can you handle it?" Qiong looked at me from head to toe and said, "You're really gutsy!"
"Nonsense, magic power has nothing to do with kidneys!"
"Then let's do it!" Under the twilight, a large cluster of sparkling particles formed around the two of us. Soon after, two thick and powerful red and blue lightning bolts emerged from the crowd, resembling two coiling thunder dragons. They entangled around the massive iron ball, which continued to rise slowly. From what I could see, if it ascended high enough, it would naturally burst without the aid of lightning. The amusement park's design wouldn't be that boring. If no one could break the ball with lightning throughout the night, who would want to play this activity?
"With the honor of being a lightning magic gunslinger, I, Xiao Qiong, will definitely win!" Qiong's body radiated with the dragon spirit contract, and the blue lightning truly looked like a gigantic dragon. Its head bit down on the blood thunder, with the blue lightning rushing into the blood thunder, intending to dissolve it.
"Wanna take a bite? This is Blood Thunder!" I clenched my fist, and Blood Thunder transformed into a dragon, directly engaging in a fierce battle with Xiao Qiong's Thunder Dragon!
