Divine Beast Creator
Chapter 2319 - 2320: Souvenirs
The staff is not entirely replaced by NPCs, as many people have questions that need consulting, so the operators of the Maze of Mirrors have arranged quite a few staff here for assistance.
Seeing Feng Yuan and the others take out the medals, the staff were somewhat surprised. Naturally, they couldn’t not recognize these things, but they didn’t expect Feng Yuan and the others to be able to obtain those medals.
After all, facing opponents with the same moves and ultimate skills as oneself, winning is not that easy.
"Hello, are you planning to collect your prizes?"
Curiously observing Feng Yuan and his team, the staffer became much more respectful, for being able to break through the reward level signified that, if nothing else, their strength was definitely not weak. In this world, strength, in a sense, also represents status.
Thus despite Feng Yuan and the others looking quite young, the staff dared not show any neglect.
"Um, what are the prizes? Can they be stored here temporarily?"
Since there were more levels ahead, Feng Yuan didn’t want to collect things now. The staff smiled and bowed slightly, saying,
"The prize is a custom-made ornament, carved from Doma Crystal, which is an accurate replication. Based on time calculations, the finished product can be completed approximately one hour after reporting.
If you find the Maze of Mirrors challenge easy, you can rest here for a while. We will deliver the prizes directly to the exit outside, and you can collect them when you leave."
With that, the staff led Feng Yuan and his team to a room on the side, where they could see many 1:1 models of various scenes, some that Feng Yuan and his team had seen, and some they hadn’t.
"These are all scenes that appear in the Maze of Mirrors, but the scenes change every day, so none of you need to worry too much about the complexity of subsequent levels."
The staff politely said, he himself didn’t even know which scenes were being used today. Because of the addition of the Data Domain, the content of Maze of Mirrors changes daily, and they, as staff, enter through the employee access thus not knowing what’s ahead.
"Wow, so many scenes, um, is that what the finished product looks like?"
Noticing the crystal statue ornament of a middle-aged man standing in the center of the Crystal Garden alongside a group of Spirit Beasts, Feng Yuan asked curiously.
The staff nodded and said,
"That’s right, that is our Maze of Mirrors designer, and the finished ornament looks like this. However, the movements and postures can be chosen by yourselves, or you might need to stand in the corresponding scene to preserve data."
"I recommend choosing scenes you have experienced, they carry more commemorative significance. Of course, if you feel you haven’t yet experienced all today’s scenes and feel it’s not suitable, you can wait till the exit to customize as well, but similarly, it requires about an hour’s production time."
The staff explained with a slight bow, he personally thought creating ornaments from experienced scenes is better, but was unsure about this group’s thoughts.
But regardless, it was no big deal either way.
"Hmm, you’re right, I think the banquet hall one is great, after all, that’s where we got the medal, Xiao Ji, what do you think?"
Regarding Feng Yuan’s suggestion, Xiao Ji had no thoughts of objecting, though in the Maze of Mirrors, it hadn’t had much chance to make a move, although it also felt the banquet hall was quite interesting.
As for those mirror-filled scenes, Xiao Ji inexplicably recalled the Ghost Series Spirit Beasts that scared it and felt uneasy.
Both Feng Yuan and Xiao Ji had no intention of waiting till the exit to choose, given the production time limit, and those scenes seem similar enough that for Feng Yuan, any selection seems fine, while for Xiao Ji... anything but the Maze of Mirrors.
Qi Chen and his team also had no intention of choosing after completion, as doing so wastes time, though it’s not like they were in a rush to begin with.
Using the Data Domain’s function, Feng Yuan and his team could directly see samples generated by the Data Domain, showing Feng Yuan and Xiao Ji looking rather arrogant.
Veronia glanced at Agunas and said,
"So methodical, it really suits you."
She was not paired with Feng Yuan in a model, instead opting to join Agunas and Tamur, of course, a single ornament was also feasible, though she felt oddly that it wasn’t right.
These samples were allocated according to the number of medals, the arrangement being their own matter, meaning Feng Yuan and Xiao Ji each had one, and Agunas’ group similarly.
Although Qi Chen felt having one each for him and Ah Mu was a bit crowded, after thinking about it, he didn’t say more.
Dou Yanlan and Qi Chen also chose scenes they’d experienced before, especially Qi Chen, who chose the moment when the clouds gradually swallowed the Maze of Mirrors.
"This phase huh? Quite interesting, though not suitable for me."
Curiously examining Qi Chen’s sample, Feng Yuan said, considering that the Maze of Mirrors seemed too flamboyant to him, with mirrors looking almost the same as real ones, making the ornament appear dazzlingly shiny.
The thing, Feng Yuan felt was not suited to be placed in the room due to its sheen, though Qi Chen probably wouldn’t think so.
"Haha, didn’t expect it to be a free custom ornament, feels worth visiting this time~"
Leaving the souvenir shop, Feng Yuan said contentedly, although the shop’s items were mostly small ornaments from various scenes, none had Feng Yuan and his team’s custom ornaments.
According to the staffer, these were specifically gifted as small tokens for successful participants in the reward level, sparking inquiries among many tourists about additional reward levels.
Unfortunately, this reward level existed only before the rest point, and wasn’t easy.
Only seeing students like Feng Yuan easily attain them, they completely doubted the claimed difficulty, with many intending to challenge again, determined to obtain a medal this time.
Not because the ornament was particularly great, but simply for its commemorative value.
Little did they know, that if it weren’t for Feng Yuan, even Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan might not forcefully overcome the reward level’s restriction.
The designer initially did not consider people overcoming the challenge, unless with special Spirit Beasts, facing mirrors executing identical ultimate moves was very challenging.
Of course, they wouldn’t believe it, truly realized only when personally challenged but halted by the reward level, they would then understand the strength of the guardian.
Leaving the souvenir shop, Feng Yuan and his team didn’t immediately enter the Maze of Mirrors but leisurely strolled around this ancient city, with many other similar unhurried tourists experiencing the Maze of Mirrors fully.
"Didn’t expect there to be food stalls, pity you can only take it once, why not sell it directly for cash?"
Eating delicious grilled fish, Feng Yuan said a bit regretfully, the Data Domain’s cuisine was wonderful in terms of perfect taste replication, not filling due to being virtual, allowing endless enjoyment.
The Fluffy Fire Wolfhound wagged its tail and whimpered softly, feeling this was fine, since it couldn’t forget the affair when Feng Yuan took it to eat virtual food till utter exhaustion.
Qi Chen glanced at Feng Yuan helplessly and said,
"What are you thinking, this isn’t a food street, aren’t there many stores in Data City for real food?"
"It’s a different feel, tasting food during leisurely entertainment, as opposed to specifically seeking it out~"
Laughing, Feng Yuan argued, as Agunas flicked its tail and said,
"I need to attend to matters over there, don’t call me for trivial things."
"Why?"
Confused, Feng Yuan looked at Agunas and then to Veronia, who glanced at Agunas and remarked irritably,
"What else, those Mythological Remnants joining the Alliance require their intervention, without Divine Beasts to oversee, those areas’ futures are uncertain."
"Actually, if that place could restore the Mythical Era, it’d indeed be nice, though, regrettably, it’s not possible."
Veronia sighed, capable of recreating Mitradite, yet for them it wasn’t favorable since Mitradite was among the original Mythological Remnants’ enemies.
"The bygone era ultimately leaves only memories; as long as civilization exists, stagnancy is...actually not very interesting, isn’t it?"
Shaking his head, Feng Yuan said helplessly, as Veronia lightly chuckled, saying,
"Indeed, I look forward to them creating a new civilization~"
