Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 2101 - 2102: Data Square • Night

"I didn’t expect you guys to actually win in the end~"

With a chuckle, Feng Yuan stepped forward and congratulated Qi Chen. Although he was technically one of the team members, Feng Yuan didn’t consider himself a participant.

Qi Chen scratched his head and giggled foolishly, unsure how to respond. To him, winning the final victory was quite a surprise, especially knowing that their opponents were geniuses from Shangjing.

Even though there was the special presence of Xiao Ji, under the circumstances of being closely watched by the opponent, Xiao Ji couldn’t unleash its full power.

Of course, this was also because Feng Yuan prohibited Xiao Ji from using overly powerful ultimate moves. Otherwise, if Xiao Ji and the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound teamed up to perform Multiple Crimson Judgment, it would be hard to say if the opponent would be instantly defeated.

The Domain Battlefield was a powerful attack strategy that Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan had previously discussed. However, due to their lack of understanding of the Domain Battlefield, Qi Chen was also unsure about the effect of this attack.

But now it seems they had made the right gamble. Even with its considerable limitations and deficiencies, the Domain Battlefield provided a decent power boost. Although not as strong as a Domain Awakening, it’s important to remember that once the Domain Awakens, Ah Mu can unleash an attack with Legendary level power.

Even though it’s not as effective as Domain Awakening, it’s already terrifying enough and can be used at their current stage, unlike Domain Awakening which requires the power of Mythical Transformation to even barely use it.

Compared to those like Feng Yuan who knew the details, the audience was in an uproar. They weren’t just cheering for the underdog team that succeeded in winning, but also trying to figure out what the ultimate move that the Hao Chun Bird used really was.

Even ordinary Beastmasters could see that the Domain Battlefield executed by the Hao Chun Bird was the key to their success this time. Without that strange battlefield ultimate move, the Giant Tree Demon couldn’t have launched such a powerful attack.

Unfortunately, although some people realized it was a battlefield ultimate move, they didn’t know what exactly its effect was.

After all, compared to the rare but already-existing ordinary battlefield ultimate moves, the Domain Battlefield is a new category.

Even they, let alone Feng Yuan, did not have a deep understanding of it. He wasn’t even too sure about the effects of the Domain Battlefield.

In Feng Yuan’s view, the ability to seize energy from enemies and the environment to enhance a designated target didn’t seem to be the full effect of the Domain Battlefield, or perhaps the Domain Battlefield, like the Crystal Domain, would undergo changes.

It’s just that now it’s the National Day holiday, and Feng Yuan wasn’t interested in researching what changes and effects it might have.

Back in the rest room, many people were waiting this time, trying to inquire about the ultimate move executed by the Hao Chun Bird. Feng Yuan chose to stay on the sidelines, leaving it up to Qi Chen to handle the questions himself.

There’s no help for it; since Feng Yuan also didn’t understand the Domain Battlefield, he naturally couldn’t be of any assistance.

As the award ceremony concluded, Data City gradually returned to its usual calm. Although some tourists continued to wander around Data City, most people had already left.

Even the participants didn’t stay long in Data City. After all, it was getting late; even those planning to continue the competition tomorrow had to return to their hotels to get a good rest, or they wouldn’t have enough energy to fight the next day.

Perhaps because the Beastmaster competition ended rather late, Maomu City specifically added more transportation services and arranged for personnel rotations so that during the National Day period, the main transportation lines within the city were converted to operate 24 hours a day.

Therefore, Feng Yuan didn’t need to worry about missing the last bus. After Qi Chen contacted his family, he even lingered on purpose in Data Square.

Compared to daytime, the Data Square at night had a different charm. The underground center of the large pit structure was finally illuminated with its decorative and landscape lights at night.

Although various colorful lights were used, the primary lighting was still white. The lighting design maximized the avoidance of visual interference for people and Spirit Beasts.

This made the Data Square at night bright but not dazzling, somewhat like a graceful lady playing a zither gently hidden among bamboo groves, subtle yet enchanting.

"If it weren’t for knowing that the location hasn’t changed, it’d be hard to imagine this was the old square. What a transformation."

Walking on the path through the underground commercial district, Qi Chen looked around curiously and marveled at the night scene. Although a wide range of lighting was used, ensuring there’s almost no dark corner untouched by light, none of the lights were glaring.

Compared to the almost unnoticed illumination lights, the neon signs of the shops were much more eye-catching.

However, because it was already late, many shops had closed, making the originally continuous neon signs intermittent, adding a unique flair.

"It seems like they’ve borrowed Data City’s design style, but that’s understandable since it’s the gateway to Data City. Still, I’m surprised it’s this late."

Scanning the surroundings, Feng Yuan spoke with some disappointment. He had wanted to take a good look around and maybe buy something, but unfortunately, at this hour, many shops were closed, leaving mainly barbecue places suitable for late-night operations.

"Although the main bus routes run 24 hours during National Day, most people probably wouldn’t stay out that late."

Dou Yanlan looked at the ceiling and commented. Actually, if Feng Yuan hadn’t mentioned wanting to explore, she and Qi Chen would have already planned to head home directly.

After all, shops wouldn’t easily operate 24/7 due to cost considerations, not to mention that in Maomu City, there’s no habit of wandering around commercial districts late at night.

Even with Maomu City maintaining some major bus lines for all-day operation, it was mainly for the convenience of tourists.

Compared to taxis, buses, although they only retained the capability to quickly transport passengers to roughly their destination area after the last bus time, many would choose buses over the potential hassles of taxis, even if they weren’t as convenient.

Feng Yuan’s plan was to experience what riding a late-night bus felt like, as normally buses wouldn’t operate this late.

As Feng Yuan and his friends walked around the passageway circling the commercial district downwards, the shops in the Data Square commercial district were also gradually closing for the night.

When they reached the lakeside at the bottom, originally, there should have been many vendors using small carts to sell snacks and treats to tourists. Unfortunately, due to the late hour, Feng Yuan and his friends only saw the deserted lakeside with several parked vendor carts.

"If there were some fog on the lake, maybe we’d run into Spirit Beasts that are restrained by Xiao Ji, haha~"

Looking at the clear lake water, Feng Yuan smirked mischievously. There was no helping it, although there were still late-night food stalls and barbecue shops open, none of them were by the lakeside.

Moreover, the central underground commercial district was the deepest part of the Data Square underground area, so even those searching for midnight snacks wouldn’t go that far.

Because of this, only Feng Yuan and his friends were in that area at this time. If it weren’t for the large group of Spirit Beasts they had with them, it might have really felt like one of those eerie scenes in horror movies.

Qi Chen rolled his eyes speechlessly and said,

"How could that be possible? They wouldn’t let Ghost Series Spirit Beasts run amok. You came here just for this?"

"Of course not. I was hoping to find something good to eat, but now all that’s open are barbecue places, tsk."

Looking back at the rows of commercial street paths, Feng Yuan showed a face of disdain. The entire underground commercial district was made up of ring-like descending streets, so standing at the lowest lakeside and looking up, you could see the edges of those layers of commercial streets and the faint signs.

Shaking his head helplessly, Qi Chen said,

"At this hour, how could there be other stores open? If you really want to, why don’t we come again tomorrow?"

"No need, the stores won’t change anytime soon. We’ll talk after National Day is over. Aren’t we scheduled to visit the specialty town tomorrow?"

Waving his hand, Feng Yuan declined Qi Chen’s suggestion. He was just thinking of checking out the shops while waiting for the bus; he wasn’t all that hopeful.

Compared to the shops here, he was more looking forward to the visit to the specialty town tomorrow, since besides Cha Mu Town, other towns under Maomu City would also set up corresponding venues within the city.
