CHAPTER 1703: CHAPTER 1704: THE PROPOSAL

"Hmm, there seems to be quite a few things that need preparation, but it’s manageable. Though, this might have to wait until Agunas returns. In the meantime... let’s prepare other potions first."

Glancing at Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan said, supporting his chin with his hand. Despite Xiao Ji being a Divine Beast, attempting this was quite challenging. Most resources couldn’t be found in the Divine Land Region currently, and he could only say he was trying his best; whether he would succeed, he couldn’t be sure.

Xiao Ji looked at Feng Yuan with full anticipation, extremely interested in his proposal, while Veronia wasn’t particularly optimistic about it.

After all, most Divine Beasts inherently have only one attribute. Even for a special Divine Beast like Xiao Ji, its original Wind Attribute was disappearing. What Feng Yuan hoped to do was not only retain the Wind Attribute but also add Fire Power, which was extraordinarily difficult.

"Don’t worry, just be patient and wait. Oh, by the way, to do this might require a longer accumulation time. Your original naturally accumulated power is mainly of the Death Series, and trying to adjust might take more than half a year. If you evolve early, the chances of failure would be even greater."

Feng Yuan reminded, as Xiao Ji thought and nodded, letting out a sound, while Veronia examined Xiao Ji with surprise and said,

"Doing this might affect your evolution to the next phase in terms of time. Even so, you agree?"

She understood Xiao Ji’s obsession with power but was surprised that Xiao Ji agreed to Feng Yuan’s proposal to delay its evolution.

From her perspective, having more attributes was meaningless for Divine Beasts. Like her, aside from superior attributes like Time and Space, she could freely use ultimate moves like Fire, Wind, and Water. Whether possessing an attribute didn’t really matter.

"Because you hope to help him better? Although, if you could control Fire, it might ease his cooking preparations～"

Glancing at Feng Yuan, Veronia said with a strange smile. Feng Yuan rolled his eyes, uninterested in her teasing, yet before Xiao Ji reached Divine Beast Level, it would indeed be influenced by attributes in learning ultimate moves. If it truly possessed Three Attributes, it could help a bit in everyday tasks.

As for battles? Feng Yuan wasn’t counting on it, not to mention Xiao Ji, even Big Cat and the others found it difficult to handle Feng Yuan’s involvement in events. As for fights within the academy? Xiao Ji could easily outperform other students of the same year without evolving, only facing defeat against senior students.

After all, a Divine Beast’s power, no matter how strong, couldn’t support surpassing too many ranks in battle, especially when dealing with senior students’ Beast Tamer skills, which were formidable.

Perhaps Feng Yuan’s modifications inspired everyone. The next day, he saw several oddly-shaped Skyships appearing in the classroom. Besides gigantic ship shapes, some were modified into the likeness of their Spirit Beasts, and Feng Yuan couldn’t imagine where they found the parts. The most outrageous was Dou Yanlan’s model of the main teaching building as a Skyship.

"This... is certainly unique."

Looking at the miniature teaching building floating in the air, Feng Yuan noticed the windows slowly opening and closing, baffled at how within a night, everyone crafted such bizarre things.

"Couldn’t think of a more creative appearance, so it turned out like this."

Dou Yanlan said regretfully, shaking her head. Though Feng Yuan didn’t care much, Dou Yanlan still had some expectations for the Skyship ticket. However, during the evaluation, one could either make technical changes to existing Skyships or come up with bizarre creative designs; these were the only two ways to achieve high scores.

"Hmm, this thing might be better if turned into an electronic ark."

"Electronic ark? What’s that?"

Baffled, Dou Yanlan and Qi Chen looked towards Feng Yuan. Compared to Dou Yanlan’s creative modification, Qi Chen’s was much more practical, entirely focusing on upgrading the model into a functional large Skyship, though compared to others with high scores, it fell short.

Supporting his chin with one hand, Feng Yuan thought and said,

"It’s an electronic ark, well, how to say, the circuits and power supply in the Skyship model could barely realize electronic functions, but those modules have to be homemade."

Joking, since the entertainment world’s research team couldn’t come up with it, naturally, there weren’t any corresponding parts. Dou Yanlan furrowed her brow, suspiciously looking at Feng Yuan and said,

"Would it involve the Data Domain?"

"Of course, the electronic ark is designed to transport people between the Data Domain and the real world. However, it depends on whether there’s a certification system in the Data Domain. If illegally entered, it’s hard to say what might happen."

Feng Yuan said, spreading his hands. He just suddenly remembered this concept, and as for why he hadn’t mentioned it earlier? Methods to enter and exit the Data Domain weren’t limited to this one; both specialized portals and Data-based Spirit Beasts could achieve it, making the somewhat dangerous electronic ark unnecessary.

Yet, if used for modification evaluations, it might earn a good score. Thinking this way, Feng Yuan decided to write up the details of the electronic ark during class. Although some parts might puzzle Dou Yanlan, he believed Qi Chen and she could figure out the intricacies of electronic ark modification.

At noon, after class, Qi Chen received the details from Feng Yuan with a mixture of gratitude and confusion. He couldn’t help but ask Feng Yuan,

"Are you not considering doing it yourself?"

"What for? It’s impractical. Though it’s an interesting novelty, ultimately it’s just a model and can’t carry people into the Data Domain. Plus, as I warned, the Data Domain might have a special certification system. Previously it might not have had it, but that place keeps changing."

Shaking his head, Feng Yuan couldn’t resist reminding. The electronic ark’s electronicization wouldn’t necessarily lead directly into the Data Domain. According to his design, the ark could manifest in the real world by overlapping with the Data Domain, its external display resembling the virtual phase similar to Ghost Series Spirit Beasts, effectively exempting it from physical attacks.

Of course, this manifestation has already been shown by some Data-based Spirit Beasts in the real world, but even then, few would consider it similar to Ghost Series Spirit Beasts’ traits. Ghost Series Spirit Beasts, when virtualized, were still vulnerable to non-physical energy attacks, whereas electronicized Data-based Spirit Beasts were different.

Only powers from the same lineage could affect them; other lower attribute forces were ineffective, as if they didn’t exist in that space. Only superior attributes could cause unique damage due to their speciality.

"The Data Domain keeps changing? Seems so; apparently, Data City has transformed recently, though currently, only a handful of cities can utilize Data City."

Dou Yanlan said, scratching her chin. She was aware of the news regarding Data City’s transformation but wasn’t very concerned, as neither she nor Qi Chen had Data-based Spirit Beasts. As for Feng Yuan?

Whether changing or not seemed to make no difference to him.

"However, could this thing have negative impacts? So far, there’s been no news of electronic devices, meaning this modification..."

Dou Yanlan voiced her concern to Feng Yuan. A device facilitating seamless access to the Data Domain was one thing, but the critical issue was the unique electronic power here. Previously, only Data-based Spirit Beasts could achieve this. Once this device was entered into the contest, complete schematics had to be uploaded to prevent fraudulent modifications using special effects that couldn’t exist.

The leakage of this technology? Dou Yanlan couldn’t foresee potential negative outcomes.

"That’s no issue. Electronicization isn’t like Ghost Series’ Phantasmic ultimate move allowing invisibility. It’s merely a glowing entity that’s hard to misuse. Moreover, under electronicization, it can’t interfere with the real world. Those videos featuring brutal electronicized Spirit Beasts overpowering ordinary ones? Simply myths, as Data-based Spirit Beasts can control whether their power remains electronicized."

Shrugging, Feng Yuan spoke unbotheredly. The concept had little practical significance, aside from its flashy appearance, lacking considerable force.
