Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1092 - 1093: Doubt and Preparation

"I really don’t understand what Nierlat is trying to do."

Scratching his head, Feng Yuan was too lazy to ponder over it; as long as it didn’t bump into him, he didn’t plan to intervene. Instead of worrying about this, he might as well think about where to have fun.

"What a pity, it rejected my invitation."

Veronia said with a face of regret. Beside her, Agunas glared at Veronia. Glancing at the two Divine Beasts ready to quarrel again, Feng Yuan decided not to comment. As for what Veronia wanted to do? No need to guess—it was obviously to join hands with Nierlat to seize control of the Divine Land Region.

"Forget it, they should be about done, we..." frёeωebɳovel.com

"What is that?"

Feng Yuan narrowed his eyes and stared intently at the television in front of him. He thought he had seen something strange flash across the screen. At that moment, the promotional video that had been playing on the television suddenly turned into a series of fragmented images as if the video data had been corrupted.

The shop staff naturally noticed this and hurried over to check. After some examination, they found that it was just the demo video that had somehow become corrupt. Relieved, they quickly copied a new demo video.

"What in the world was that?"

Recalling the fleeting dark shadow, Feng Yuan frowned slightly. A Data-based Spirit Beast causing mischief? But that seemed impossible. Currently, Data-based Spirit Beasts were not numerous, and whenever they appeared, they would mostly be found by countries and attempts would be made to cooperate with them, or at the very least, to establish some ground rules.

After all, the most terrifying thing about Data-based Spirit Beasts wasn’t their current strength, but their ability to move freely within the Data Domain. To them, all electronic devices with data storage were free to access. Consequently, how to specifically restrict the capabilities of Data-based Spirit Beasts had become a top research priority for all countries and even the Alliance.

It was possible to have other Spirit Beasts on guard, ready to capture any that dared to appear in places they shouldn’t be, but those Spirit Beasts would get tired, and considering the number of critical areas, it was not feasible to always have so many on watch.

"What’s wrong?"

Agunas, just finished arguing with Veronia, sensed something unusual with Feng Yuan and asked. Looking at the television which had returned to normal, Feng Yuan thought for a moment and said,

"I’m wondering, what kind of Data-based Spirit Beast would do something like this?"

No matter how mischievous they were, even beings like Anernia who delighted in causing trouble, wouldn’t just vanish after wreaking havoc. At the very least, they would hide and admire their handiwork. But Feng Yuan could distinctly sense that the dark shadow had disappeared without hesitation after the destruction.

No, strictly speaking, it hadn’t actively caused destruction; it was more like... a characteristic, a trait that could disrupt surrounding data. But were there really Spirit Beasts like that? Feng Yuan didn’t know, but he had already pulled out the black Ancient Book.

"Is there something wrong? It seems like there are no Data-based Spirit Beasts around here."

Agunas looked at Feng Yuan, puzzled. It had just sensed its surroundings and found no trace of Data-based Spirit Beast activities, and it hadn’t detected their presence either. Not to mention its keen detection as a Divine Beast—even an Ordinary Spirit Beast could sense the presence of other Spirit Beasts, which is why using Spirit Beasts to prevent Data-based Spirit Beasts from stealing information was a viable strategy.

Although various cloaking methods could disrupt this sensing, there were countermeasures against such cloaking. Moreover, so far, Data-based Spirit Beasts hadn’t learned similar cloaking techniques. As for moving through data channels or telecommunication networks? That was just a mode of travel; they were still evident to other Spirit Beasts.

Xiao Ji looked at Feng Yuan, puzzled, as it didn’t quite understand what he meant. Closing its eyes to sense the surroundings, Xiao Ji let out an inquisitive chirp. Little Ice Cream opened its eyes, looking at the television with confusion as if it couldn’t quite grasp something.

"I can’t find it... I don’t know what exactly it is."

Closing the black Ancient Book, Feng Yuan said with some frustration—although whatever it was didn’t affect him much. After all, even if a Data-based Spirit Beast sneaked up to him, wouldn’t he notice if it tried anything? Even if they forcefully destroyed the data in his phone, he could use time reversal techniques to restore the data. As for leaking secrets? He had nothing secretive worth protecting on him.

He was more concerned about what that thing was, and whether it intended to spread havoc in Maomu City. After all, he quite liked the environment of Maomu City and wouldn’t want any strange entities to spoil it.

"Never mind, let’s go find Qi Chen and the others first."

Hearing the notification and glancing at the text message, Feng Yuan said helplessly. As for that dark shadow just now, unless he used a time-reversal type of ultimate move here, he didn’t think he could find any useful clues. But to reverse time for this matter? Forget it, the side effects are too severe; it’s better to ask Divine Beasts to keep an eye on Maomu City than to do that.

Shortly after Feng Yuan left, a black strip appeared on the television that was playing a demo video. The strip scanned across the image, and moments later, the screen turned back to garbled pixels.

"Yo~ Not bad~ It’s only when Dou Yanlan comes that you’re willing to spend the money~"

Seeing the dress Dou Yanlan helped Qi Chen choose, Feng Yuan spoke proudly, glancing at him, Qi Chen said irritably,

"It was supposed to be just one suit that was needed, moreover..."

"Ah Chen, this is something that can’t be helped. Or... shall we not take this one?"

Dou Yanlan spoke apologetically to Qi Chen. It wasn’t that she intentionally bought a lot, but she wasn’t quite like Feng Yuan. Although she knew that after entering the academy, social activities were inevitable, that was all to it. He had no interest in participating in such events, while Dou Yanlan, through Yang Hong, had gotten a clear picture of what to expect after enrollment, including those social activities.

Even though Qi Chen didn’t care, she still hoped that Qi Chen wouldn’t be looked down upon by others. In her opinion, things at the academy were probably different from high school; not attending those social activities might not look good, right?

Not to mention that one of them was an outstanding student and the other an outstanding Commander. Although this was just an assessment rating from the academy, they would probably receive quite a few invitations after entering the academy.

Veronia looked at her phone and said,

"It’s supposed to be a place for training Beastmasters, yet there are so many messy things. I really don’t understand you humans."

"Messy things?"

Feng Yuan looked at Veronia with a puzzled face. What strange thing had it seen this time? Snickering, Veronia lifted her phone to Feng Yuan’s face and said,

"What do you think?"

"This..."

Looking at the lengthy ’Maomu Academy Survival Guide’ content on the phone, Feng Yuan felt speechless. It really was...

"You actually don’t have any strong reaction?"

Seeing that Feng Yuan didn’t exclaim anything, Veronia looked at him with some surprise, shrugging his shoulders, Feng Yuan said,

"That thing is meaningless to me. So what if I don’t follow what’s written there? I don’t have a need to exchange for rare items."

"If you guys... don’t like that kind of atmosphere, you can come to me. Aren’t they just some rare Spiritual Medicine and Materials? I can trade those with you~"

Feng Yuan understood why she chose so many dresses for Qi Chen, it must be considering the attendance for future events. Whether seeking help from others or exchanging unneeded Spiritual Medicine and Materials for things they need, it’s important to maintain good relations with most people.

The school didn’t have any specific measures for trading or recycling the Spiritual Medicine and Materials obtained from missions outside that they couldn’t use. It was entirely up to them to deal with since this is a big problem they would face after graduation - how to handle the Spiritual Medicine and Materials they can’t use.

To sell them casually in a shop like Feng Yuan did? It was okay when they are lower level, but starting from the Elite Level, those items gradually stopped being traded with a single currency. Bartering, along with currency or other methods of transaction, was more than normal.

There were many problems that could be encountered with this, and instead of facing them later with a hefty tuition fee, it was better to do so while at the academy. Of course, whether choosing to trade with schoolmates or selling directly at shops outside the academy was up to them, and the academy didn’t have a mandatory rule on how it must be done.
