Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1911 - 1912: Impact

"So, is Maomu City planning to fully activate the Data City this time?"

As she carefully cleaned up the broken eggshells, Dou Yanlan curiously asked Feng Yuan. After getting consent from Feng Yuan and the others, the waitress Xiao Ya also pulled up a small stool and sat beside them, curiously gazing at Feng Yuan.

She didn’t recognize Feng Yuan’s identity. After all, Veronia is more famous for her dress, and her original form is not as well-known as the title of the Dressed Princess. Now that Veronia has reverted to her original form, she naturally cannot recognize her identity.

However, she knew Huo Feng. After all, he had been patrolling here during this period, so she knew clearly that Huo Feng was part of the Special Duty Team. Being able to chat with him for so long, in her eyes, Feng Yuan’s identity was probably not ordinary either. She was also curious why He Nanqing suddenly proposed a comprehensive tourism upgrade plan.

It’s important to know that the entire Cha Mu Town was mobilized this time, precisely because Cha Mu Town has a unique traditional culture. It wouldn’t be easy to achieve such an integrated upgrade in other areas.

Take the Gaoshan Ridge Jiuzhai where she is located, for instance. If it weren’t for He Nanqing’s status as the Goddess, they might not have agreed to this thankless task.

Their local specialties were basically all pre-booked at the beginning of the year. Even if there were leftovers, they couldn’t sustain sales for long, let alone become part of a tourist route.

To achieve this goal, they even needed to negotiate with pre-booked customers to modify delivery quantities and other matters. After all the fuss, it’s uncertain if they would make more money, and they might actually lose some.

This is also why the plan started in the Cha Mu Town area first. Because of the presence of the Goddess, it could reduce the resistance to the implementation of the plan to some extent. But even so, many problems still stood in the way.

As for the reason for doing this, they actually didn’t know much, or rather, even Maomu City was just planning ahead for the worst case.

After all, they still had time. Once the Data City is activated, addressing problems that arise as they come would be very passive.

Feng Yuan thought for a moment and said,

"According to Huo Feng, this should be the case. However, I estimate they won’t fully open at the start. After all, it seems that Cha Mu Town hasn’t completed its integration. But within half a year at most, the entire Data City should be fully open."

"This... doesn’t seem to have much impact on tourism, right?"

Waitress Xiao Ya thought for a moment, puzzled, and asked Feng Yuan. After all, in her view, the Data City shouldn’t conflict with the tourism industry of their Cha Mu Town, right?

"Hmm, that’s hard to say. After all, there are a lot of delicacies, but often what limits the enjoyment of food is our own stomach. In this aspect, the advantages of the Data City are significant."

Feng Yuan said, tapping his index finger on his chin. After all, what he cared most about were the various specialty foods. As for whether Maomu City would stop using locally sourced food in simulations within the Data City?

Feng Yuan really couldn’t say. Seeing the other party with a "you’re pulling my leg" expression, Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"Think about it, in the Data City, you can perfectly experience the process of eating every kind of food, apart from filling your stomach, of course. Besides, due to the nature of the Data City, they can construct natural wonders difficult to see in the real world.

Not only that, due to the current level of sophistication of the Data City, the restrictions on Spirit Beasts should no longer be significant. This means they can freely wander with their Spirit Beasts and even challenge different battles in various environments. Compared to the real world, the possibilities in the Data City are just too many."

"This doesn’t seem to pose a fatal blow to Cha Mu Town’s tourism industry."

Dou Yanlan looked at Feng Yuan and spoke. She still felt that such a state of preparedness might be a bit...

"Don’t forget, there’s a Data City in every city. Once cities, for various reasons, lift restrictions, traveling through the Data City isn’t difficult. Moreover, for Beastmasters, the Data City might be a better place to relax."

Feng Yuan sighed and said. Although at first, everyone would definitely restrict what could be simulated in the Data City, as time goes on, no one knows if someone might cause trouble.

After all, in the Data City, everyone has a certain degree of Creation Ability. Moreover, with the safer environment of the Data City, Feng Yuan dared not say that families with children would definitely choose to connect with nature.

Even for Cha Mu Town, it still takes several hours of travel for Maomu City’s residents to visit, not to mention potential accidents during the trip.

The Data City, however, is different. Its constant rules ensure that even in the event of an accident, there is almost no risk of life being harmed. Coupled with its ever-changing scenery, Feng Yuan really couldn’t tell how the future would unfold.

Perhaps the two can find a balance, but it could also lead to significant changes in the existing tourism industry. He wasn’t sure about any of this, but he knew that unless all countries decided to seal off the Data Cities, this day would come sooner or later.

Because Feng Yuan and the others did not go into too much detail, Xiao Ya always felt as if she were in a dream, like it was all unreal. Could such a big change really happen?

Qi Chen frowned and looked at Feng Yuan, asking,

"The impact of the Data City on reality shouldn’t be that significant."

"That’s hard to say. Take you as an example. The Data City can simulate suitable opponents for you at any time, and when fighting there, you don’t have to worry about the risk of injury, and you can fight with full force. In this case, how much time can you spare for traveling?"

Pressing down on Xiao Ji’s head, Feng Yuan said to Qi Chen. He knew that the use of the Data City could not be stopped. Not to mention anything else, just the feature he mentioned could significantly improve the practical combat ability of Beastmasters in Maomu City. Didn’t even Xiao Ya show interest?

"Can you really do that? Then... wouldn’t that be amazing?~"

Looking at Feng Yuan, Xiao Ya was somewhat incredulous. After all, in the real world, when practicing battles, they generally suppress their strength. When their strength is low, it’s okay, but once their strength improves, every attack could accidentally seriously injure the opponent.

Even for Spirit Beasts, recovering from severe injuries isn’t that fast, so most of the time, they can truly fight without holding back only when confronting teachers at the Beast Taming Academy.

The vast difference in strength between the two allows them to fight without restraint, but compared to the Beast Taming Academy, the strength of ordinary school teachers is not particularly strong. This has made it so that Xiao Ya, who only attended an ordinary college, hasn’t really experienced many full-strength battles.

Feng Yuan nodded and said,

"That’s for sure, and this feature will be available from the start. Otherwise, they wouldn’t launch the Data City. Purely for playing, it’s not that urgent."

"Besides, practicing Ultimate Move Changes and other things that might cause injury to the Spirit Beasts can all be safely practiced in the Data City. What do you think about that?"

With that, Feng Yuan looked at Qi Chen. After a moment of silence, Qi Chen said,

"This seems... but..."

"Data Cities only exist within cities. How significant do you think the impact will be?"

Feng Yuan said, shaking his head with a smile. If possible, he had no doubt that Great Xia would place Data City entrances in all inhabited locations. Unfortunately, this isn’t possible. The Data Domain is too vast, and as it continues to evolve, the complexity of the entire Data Domain has already far exceeded other Domains.

This has also resulted in the percentage of the Data City within the Data Domain being low, so it’s naturally impossible to place entrances in all inhabited places.

"If that’s the case, there may be even more people flooding into the cities."

Rubbing her chin, Dou Yanlan’s expression wasn’t very good. The impact on tourism was secondary. For students like them, this period during school is when their strength grows the fastest. After this, their strength enters a phase of steady growth. This is true whether they are students of the Beast Taming Academy or not.

Compared to cities, the surrounding towns and villages naturally attract those Beastmasters whose strength has reached a stable growth stage. However, with the appearance of the Data City, they might be forced to return to the cities, and so many Beastmasters returning to the cities...

"We’ll just have to see how they arrange things. This kind of matter isn’t something we need to worry about."

Feng Yuan said with a smile. He believed that the high-level officials in Great Xia definitely knew about this, and they probably already had a contingency plan.
