Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1933 - 1934: Training Grounds

If it were the previous Data City, Feng Yuan really didn’t think it could provide Xiao Ji with any training effect. After all, that thing had no resistance at all to Xiao Ji’s ultimate move, but now, it seems it might be somewhat feasible.

After thinking for a bit, Feng Yuan glanced at Xiao Ji and said,

"How do you feel? In a couple of days, I’m going to prepare the breeding park. If you want to train your abilities in the Data Domain, I might not be able to look after you. But if you really want to try it, I can help you take a look."

Feng Yuan truly isn’t sure what the current Data Domain has become. If the Data City has improved its resistance against Xiao Ji’s ultimate move, allowing it to train there doesn’t seem like a bad idea.

Hearing Feng Yuan’s inquiry, Xiao Ji thought it over with a dilemma, mainly because Feng Yuan mentioned preparing the breeding park. If Xiao Ji isn’t by Feng Yuan’s side...

But if it continues to stay by Feng Yuan’s side without training, just being a mascot, that’s not what Xiao Ji wants.

Seeing Xiao Ji’s expression of difficulty in making a decision, Feng Yuan didn’t rush it—not like he was in a hurry anyway. After all, the Data City isn’t about to open immediately; even when it does, Feng Yuan has ways to secure a training field for Xiao Ji’s use.

Just as Feng Yuan was about to go take a shower and change his clothes, Xiao Ji made its decision. It didn’t hesitate anymore and looked at Feng Yuan with a determined cry. Tamur circled Feng Yuan and said,

"It wants to use the training facilities of Data City."

"Hmm, let me take leave and check it out later."

Feng Yuan thought about it, they had classes that afternoon, but to Feng Yuan, taking leave was nothing; probably even the teachers wouldn’t care about it.

After obtaining the access token for Data City from Liao Yu, Feng Yuan didn’t plan to enter it from the plaza.

The entrance and exit there are for those who can’t freely access the Data City, whereas someone like Feng Yuan only needs the access token to freely enter and exit the Data City.

Summoning Big Cat to help open the door, Feng Yuan led Xiao Ji and the others once more into Maomu City. Compared to before, Feng Yuan noticed that the patrolling robot guards no longer proactively approached.

The information registered last time had been erased. Looking at the prompt to present the access token to bind identity information, Feng Yuan followed the procedure but got stuck at the Spirit Beast binding.

Xiao Ji was directly selected, but Big Cat and the others seemed to be a bit troublesome. Not that Feng Yuan couldn’t bind their information; it’s just that doing so might cause Big Cat and the others to encounter trouble when moving independently in the future.

"I should have asked Liao Yu for a few more access tokens."

Touching his chin, Feng Yuan said a bit conflictedly. Big Cat meowed confusedly a few times; it didn’t quite understand Feng Yuan’s predicament. Veronia glanced at Feng Yuan and asked,

"What’s this about?"

"Hmm, I think Big Cat and the others should register independently since they’re not my Spirit Beasts. Although adjustments can be made later, still..."

"Is it because of this? You’re not pleased?"

"No, it’s just... Can Big Cat and the others accept this? I wasn’t expecting them to modify Data City into needing specific access token registration. It’s not an issue for me to register them under my name first, just..."

Scratching his head, Feng Yuan said a bit awkwardly. Although he occasionally asked Big Cat for help, in his heart, Big Cat and the others were different from Xiao Ji.

Kong Qing, he wasn’t sure, but as for Big Cat, Feng Yuan knew it surely had its own—that’s why Big Cat was so focused on the gaming domain. At least with the time spent together, Feng Yuan can confirm that Big Cat isn’t truly obsessed with gaming.

Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Veronia snickered and said,

"You mean, we’d be displeased?"

"No, I’m just concerned about Big Cat’s feelings. You, you’re definitely either my close friend or... family."

Glancing at Veronia, Feng Yuan casually said, Xiao Ji heard this and proudly shook its body, not forgetting that Feng Yuan had just added it without hesitation.

"Ah, with what you just said, I don’t know whether to feel happy or angry~"

"However, if you’re concerned about Big Cat’s feelings, how about I help you ask?"

Although Veronia didn’t know what Big Cat experienced before meeting Feng Yuan, it wasn’t foolish, naturally noticing that Big Cat surely had human friends before Feng Yuan; their relationship must have been very good. As for why Big Cat ended up by Feng Yuan’s side...

Even without asking, it’s easy to guess—either something happened forcing a separation or...

Big Cat thought it over and meowed while spreading its wings, surprised that Feng Yuan actually guessed about its and its past. However, Big Cat wasn’t particularly concerned about it.

Veronia glanced at Big Cat and helped translate,

"Big Cat said it’s fine, and it can be re-adjusted later, right?"

"Yes, mainly if you don’t register this time and enter under unauthorized status, it will trigger an alarm, resulting in future troubles."

Nodding, Feng Yuan said this is also the function of the access token. After all, when the plaza renovation finishes, the Data City will be open 24/7. To prevent anyone from taking advantage and causing disruption, Maomu City set its configurations for Data City to a permit-based system.

Those without a permit entering the Data City directly trigger an alarm. The reason it hasn’t done so now is entirely because Feng Yuan carries the access token and did not force entry.

Just a few steps forward from Big Cat and the others—even if Feng Yuan holds the access token—it would still set off the Data City’s alarm.

Veronia didn’t quite understand what Data City had been modified into, but thought about it and said,

"Why worry about something adjustable?"

"Alright then, just wait a moment."

Seeing that Big Cat didn’t object, Feng Yuan instantly registered all his accompanying Spirit Beasts. He didn’t notice that Tamur, hovering behind him, appeared somewhat excited when filled in.

"Alright, the information’s registered. If you find it unsuitable, the management center seems capable of adjustments."

Feng Yuan said, looking as the panel appeared in front of everyone.

By now, Data City had been reconfigured by Maomu City, hiding away all those peculiar areas. The entire Data City now looked like a futuristic version of Maomu City.

According to the map, Feng Yuan easily located where the training grounds were. These adopted a self-service mode utilizing the functions of Data City to offer visitor assistance and services.

Here, Feng Yuan noticed besides the normal reservation and rental of training grounds, there’s also an exclusive mode for meritorious achievements.

Touching his chin, Feng Yuan muttered,

"Looks like they’ve reserved quite a few special things here."

Feng Yuan had no qualms about the merit mode, for someone like Liao Yu would surely opt for it, allowing easy resource dispatch; when necessary, resources occupied by the merit mode could be temporarily released for other purposes.

Yet, because Data City hasn’t opened, although many with prior qualifications have entered, the training grounds still have significant availability.

Casually picking a training ground to rent, Feng Yuan guided Xiao Ji and the others according to the instructions. Looking at the wide-open field and the panel that popped up in front, Feng Yuan thought for a moment and said,

"First, let’s test the resistance."

Even if he needed to teach Xiao Ji how to use this thing later, determining whether it could actually provide Xiao Ji with training effects was paramount for now.

After some tinkering, Feng Yuan rubbed his chin, amazed at the field now transformed into a forest and said,

"Not bad. Though the simulation of Spirit Beast opponents could be better, or rather, it’s too rigid. But this seems to be an inherent issue with the Data Domain; otherwise, it’s decent enough, the resistance is sufficient."

Looking at the excited Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"Alright, next I’ll teach you how to use this. This period, I might not have much time to accompany you here."

With a casual wave, Veronia scattered crystalline fragments effortlessly, converting the forest into data fragments. With a sigh, Veronia regretfully said,

"Too bad the resistance is still inadequate~"

"Honestly, if it could really withstand your attacks, it would actually be problematic. The Data Domain’s creation abilities paired with defenses that strong—you don’t think that wouldn’t cause trouble, do you?"

While teaching Xiao Ji how to operate the panel, Feng Yuan dryly remarked to Veronia, seeing as the Data Domain howsoever won’t take a Divine Beast’s attacks head-on casually and remain unscathed—if it could, that definitely wouldn’t be normal.
