Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 2090 - 2091: Commercial District

"I think we can apply to the academy to set up an access point to the Data City in the academy. After all, this is something I’m sure Maomu University won’t want to miss out on, right~"

Feng Yuan said this to Qi Chen and the others with a mysterious smile, and Dou Yanlan quickly understood what Feng Yuan meant.

The battle simulation itself in the Data City is already quite enticing, especially now that it’s showcased in competitions, offering options to simulate reality, proving its huge advantage in honing battle skills.

That’s not all. Coupled with this rapid diagnostic feature, Beastmasters can roughly assess their beast’s health after training, which is crucial for those who like to push their training to the limits.

Of course, this type of Beastmaster is naturally more prevalent in Maomu Academy, since these individuals pursue their beasts reaching the current peak of growth in strength.

While Maomu Academy also has a dedicated medical center offering similar services, and in terms of precision, Maomu Academy’s accuracy might be somewhat higher.

But this is not an automated detection. Apart from the weekly free check-up, the rest requires spending credits. In contrast, the free rapid diagnostics offered by Data City might be more suitable for them.

The tests in Data City utilize the inherent capabilities of the Data Domain, hence there isn’t any actual consumption involved. Therefore, the city of Maomu simply discussed it and decided to offer this function to the public for free.

"The academy... shouldn’t be on a node, right?"

Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan puzzledly. If he recalled correctly, setting up a data gate with Cast Cubes requires specific nodes as a foundation; otherwise, not even Cast Cubes can establish a data gate.

Feng Yuan smiled slightly and said

"I never mentioned setting up a data gate. Even though there are few Data-based Spirit Beasts, they do exist. It’s just about letting the Data-based Spirit Beast help open a door, and it shouldn’t be that troublesome, and wouldn’t be a big burden for the academy."

Although Beastmasters breeding Data-based Spirit Beasts on their own is an option, this still involves Data City, especially now that Data City has protective capabilities. Without permission, Feng Yuan doubts whether one can utilize Data-based Spirit Beasts to enter or exit Data City from places other than the data gate.

But this is not an issue for Maomu Academy, as Feng Yuan believes there should be permissions for specific position entries and exits.

For Maomu Academy, applying for regional entry and exit permissions is not difficult. The only tricky part is probably the Data-based Spirit Beast.

After all, up till now, Data-based Spirit Beasts only possess attributes, and their Ultimate Moves are not fully developed. Feng Yuan even suspects that the evolution priority of the Data Domain itself is higher than that of the Data-based Spirit Beasts, which has resulted in such a long time where the Data-based Ultimate Moves remain incomplete.

In Feng Yuan’s view, the best approach right now is for Maomu Academy to establish dedicated entry and exit points and utilize academy-trained Data-based Spirit Beasts to facilitate students entering and leaving Data City.

No choice, data gates are indeed convenient for ordinary people without Data-based Spirit Beasts. However, the capacity of these data gates is ultimately limited. Like today, the number of people passing through the data gate has reached its limit, leading to long queues.

"The academy needs to consider this carefully."

Dou Yanlan said to Feng Yuan seemingly helplessly, believing that as students, they really don’t need to worry about such matters.

Feng Yuan guessed Dou Yanlan’s intent, scratched his head, and chuckled, then looked at Xiao Ji and the others, saying

"It’s rest time now, how about we wander around here?"

Due to the much larger size of Data City compared to the real-world space, despite many people entering, there isn’t a bustling crowd inside the Data City.

A large number of visitors and participants are scattered across the expansive Data City, and although Feng Yuan and his group moved through battling, they hadn’t traversed too many places.

The Fluffy Fire Wolfhound perked up its ears and wagged its tail, barking with confusion at Feng Yuan, unsure of what was worth exploring here.

Although the Data City has many buildings, most are not open, and since Feng Yuan and the others haven’t approached the commercial district, the buildings here seem just decorative to the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound, devoid of meaning.

As for appreciating architecture?

It is but a Fluffy Fire Wolfhound; do not trouble it so.

With a pat on the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound’s head, Feng Yuan smiled wryly. For leisurely wandering, he would certainly choose the commercial district. Though there are no physical sales in Data City, those shops aren’t merely decorations.

Leveraging the simulation ability of the Data Domain, those shops allow free exploration of various store products. Since it’s simulated by the Data Domain, it doesn’t cause real consumption, loosening many restrictions in the experience area.

Of course, except for food, which mostly doesn’t offer unlimited or free tasting experiences due to the unique flavors it may sell.

If truly offered unlimited and free, Feng Yuan believes snack and restaurant businesses within the district would be severely impacted.

The commercial district evidently draws more tourists than other areas, particularly those offering dining services. Feng Yuan noticed parents often accompanying children or children dragging parents inside.

Because the food in Data City is virtual, eating a lot doesn’t cause satiety nor significantly affect oneself, thus no parent refused their child to feast here.

"Mostly parents with children, but that’s normal; after all, it’s not convenient for battles here."

Glancing at the tourists, Feng Yuan remarked pensively. Due to the capability of spatial conversion, beast battles in Data City don’t require both parties to directly face each other for a battle request; a visible marker is enough to initiate a battle request.

However, compared to relatively sparse regular districts, the commercial district has higher crowd density. These tourists inevitably block the view.

Thus, Feng Yuan noticed fewer battle markers here than before in less crowded streets.

"Let’s just try some specialties. Fluffy Fire Wolfhound, do you... want some more?"

Feng Yuan asked upon recalling something while scanning the surroundings, noticing the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound’s ears droop and it whimpering, appearing conflicted.

Qi Chen suspected the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound’s reaction was off, discerning Feng Yuan with suspicion. What is this guy up to now? Why is the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound reacting this way?

Feng Yuan hasn’t detailed the Spirit Beast Cafeteria to Qi Chen and the others, only mentioning the existence of this special service facility.

Yet, for Qi Chen and the others, the Spirit Beast Cafeteria remains a perplexing service facility.

Because it’s rare among spirit beasts to seek food for taste. To most spirit beasts, eating is more about meeting nutritional needs for growth.

But the Spirit Beast Cafeteria doesn’t serve that purpose, merely enabling self-cooking without ingredient limits for their beast.

Both Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan were aware of their culinary skills and categorized as basic edibility, too fine fare is beyond even Dou Yanlan’s capability.

"No worries, there aren’t many specialties here, and we don’t have enough time to savor them slowly."

Seeing the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound’s peculiar expression, Feng Yuan understood its intent, chuckling and saying.

With a tail flick, the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound grunted twice, skeptical of Feng Yuan’s words, even though their interactions with Feng Yuan were short, Xiao Ji had secretly shared much with it.

Still, the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound had no intent to wander alone, as battles are indeed good training for it. At least, the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound felt that after a morning of battles, it had improved its control force over its Ultimate Moves.

Unlike Xiao Ji, the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound didn’t have such a high energy total limit, so control force over Ultimate Moves remained vital for it.

Like Xiao Ji without the need for detailed calculations, directly unleashing powerful Ultimate Moves casually was nothing but a dream for it.
