Half an hour later, he arrived at the explosion site on the northwest corner of the research institute, riding an electric scooter he had snatched from someone else.
A circle of Nobel laureates were seated, and in the middle of their circle was a large crater, freshly made.
The crater was still emitting heat and a pungent odor.
These people were discussing matters after the fact in this very situation.
Seeing this, Yuan Tiangang's heart settled. Fortunately, it seemed to be a planned detonation, unrelated to his earlier words.
Parking the scooter aside, he walked over with his hands behind his back.
"Ahem!"
Seeing that no one paid him any attention, he deliberately cleared his throat.
"If, we had detonated just two seconds earlier..."
"That won't do, it would have caused an accident!"
"Perhaps, we can further refine the composition of the explosive."
"............"
Yuan Tiangang felt awkward!
These people were arguing like they were in a brawl, their faces flushed, shouting at each other.
His cough had gone completely unnoticed.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem!"
He increased the force of his coughs as he squeezed into the crowd.
Surely, these guys couldn't ignore him now?
"Where did this old man come from?"
"Don't know, haven't seen him..."
"Call someone to throw him out!"
"Right, right, quickly, he must be another one trying to commit suicide and coming here to claim compensation for an accident!"
"Guards, guards, throw this old fellow out!"
Yuan Tiangang: ????
What the hell, the script is wrong!
Shouldn't these guys be treating him as an honored guest?
He was an expert at explosions!
Just then, someone grabbed his arm and tried to drag him out, so he quickly announced his identity.
"Stop!"
"This humble Taoist is Yuan Tiangang, the Miracle Grandmaster!"
"Is this how you treat a fellow practitioner?"
His words caused the scene to fall silent.
Dynamite Nobel leaned closer and suddenly roared at him.
"What did you say?"
"Damn!"
Yuan Tiangang was startled and dug into his ear with his pinky finger.
"This humble Taoist, Yuan Tiangang!"
Dynamite Nobel immediately showed a look of disdain and waved his hands repeatedly.
"What are you talking about?"
"If you want to lick something, lick it yourself, we're not into that kind of thing..."
His voice was still a shout, as if afraid others wouldn't hear.
Yuan Tiangang: ????
Lick what???
After a moment of confusion, he finally came to his senses, his anger soaring. He kicked Dynamite Nobel straight into the nearby crater.
"Lick your grandma!"
He finally understood that none of these fellows had good hearing!
It was infuriating!
They could mess around with explosives like this?
Sooner or later, they'd get themselves blown up...
Angrily riding his electric scooter away, he returned half an hour later.
He held a loudspeaker and began to roar at the crowd.
"This humble Taoist is Yuan Tiangang!"
"Can you hear me clearly now?"
The group of Nobels, who had just resumed their discussion, were stunned by his sudden shout.
A muscular man emerged from the crowd, a thick single-barreled cannon on his shoulder. With a hostile expression, he cursed at Yuan Tiangang.
"What the hell are you shouting about, we're not deaf!"
Yuan Tiangang: !!!
His face turned ashen, he almost choked on those words!
They spoke like they were in a fight, and now they're telling me they're not deaf?
Yes!
You guys are not deaf!
You're just one or two explosions away from being deaf...
Damn it, their IQ!
Seeing him standing there speechless, the muscular man turned back to his seat, picked up a pen, and said to Dynamite Nobel, who was presiding over the discussion.
"Continue, no need to bother with this bald idiot!"
"With that much gauze wrapped around the back of his head, he's probably been kicked by a donkey!"
With that, the group ignored Yuan Tiangang and resumed their academic discussion.
Yuan Tiangang: ???
This guy actually called me a bald idiot?
And said I was kicked senseless by a donkey?
Who gave them the courage?
A surge of inexplicable anger shot up to his head.
May the heavens show mercy, there were only three people in the entire Tang Dynasty who dared to speak to him like that!
What were these brats?
He took off his shoe, pulled out the insole, and rolled it into a cylinder.
He took out a cigar, peeled it open, and extracted a detonator.
He inserted it, lit the fuse, and threw it into the nearby crater.
"Boom!"
After an explosion, smoke mixed with a strong foot odor instantly engulfed an area of dozens of meters...
The group seated in a circle by the crater immediately fled in disarray.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem!"
"Damn, this old fellow doesn't play by the rules!"
"Setting off firecrackers is fine, but adding poison gas to it is going too far!"
"Does anyone have a mask? Hurry up and give me one..."
"Damn, this is suffocating me!"
"Cough, cough..."
Yuan Tiangang leisurely tore a strip of cloth from his clothes and tied it under his nose. Seeing their reactions, he grinned broadly.
However, when he took deep breaths, he felt an urge to cough.
But he was a master, he couldn't lose his composure at a time like this.
So, he picked up the loudspeaker and used laughter to relieve the discomfort in his throat.
"Hahahaha!"
"How was it? The C4 I fumigated with methane, is its power satisfactory?"
"Let me introduce myself again!"
"This humble Taoist, Yuan Tiangang, Miracle Grandmaster!"
"So, how was it? Did the miracle just now meet your expectations?"
After speaking, he put down the loudspeaker and smiled as he looked at the crowd, who had fled tens of meters away.
This time, the group finally listened patiently and heard his words clearly.
Dynamite Nobel's body trembled violently. Unable to stand the pungent smell, he stepped forward.
Excitedly, he grabbed Yuan Tiangang's hand.
"You?"
"Are you the legendary Bomb Man of the research institute?"
"The one who can't be killed no matter how much they explode?"
Yuan Tiangang felt extremely pleased!
This was the treatment he deserved!
"Hahahaha, a small achievement, hardly worth mentioning, hardly worth mentioning!"
"This humble Taoist had long heard that young Fang had invited you all, but due to worldly affairs, I only have the honor to meet you today."
"My apologies, everyone!"
"No, no, it's alright!"
Dynamite Nobel repeatedly shook his head and then pointed to a distant warehouse.
"Bomb Man, we expected you to come, it was only a matter of time."
"Therefore, we have prepared a big gift for you!"
"To verify the truth of the legend, there are five thousand kilograms of TNT there."
"Would you like to go over there and have a smoke and a rest in that building?"
Yuan Tiangang: (ꐦಠ皿ಠ)
This Taoist master is undying, not un-explosible!
The radicals are completely different, how could you have such a misunderstanding?
But thinking that this was about his prestige, he slapped his forehead and agreed.
"Alright!"
"This Taoist master will let you witness true miracles today!"
