Chapter 286: Chapter 286 Big Cat’s Game_1

"Woo~"

Wanting to hug Big Cat who pounced over, Feng Yuan found himself unexpectedly knocked down by Big Cat. Pushing against it, he found that he couldn’t move Big Cat and thought for a moment before saying,

"Big Cat, get up first, help me adjust the data."

"Woo?"

"What’s happened to you?"

Seeing something oddly wrong with Feng Yuan’s condition, Qi Chen asked in confusion. At this moment, Dou Yanlan, who was examining the panel, said,

"It’s probably because of the data correction, so his current strength can’t push away Big Cat."

"Data correction?"

"Right now we’re pretty much like new characters who have just entered the game."

"And it seems we can’t use the power of Spirit Beasts."

Dou Yanlan said something to Cotton, who seemed to try and then shook its head at Dou Yanlan. Qi Chen looked at Ah Mu, surprised, and after contemplating, Ah Mu slammed his hands forcefully onto the ground. But instead of causing any destruction, not even dust was stirred, as if Ah Mu didn’t make contact with this world at all.

"Don’t bother trying anymore. What Big Cat did here is just a regular role-playing game, Spirit Beasts can’t be used here."

Seeing Xiao Ji spew a pale blue flame that shattered a rock into light blue data-like fragments before disappearing, Feng Yuan said speechlessly,

"Upper attributes aren’t constrained by the Data Domain, you know. Don’t wreck things, will you?"

After roughly ruffling Xiao Ji, tangling its fur, Feng Yuan, with one hand holding Xiao Ji and the other sliding on the data panel in front of him, that’s when another Agunas floated over and said,

"The starting village isn’t all done yet, Big Cat plans to create it to scale."

"Hmm... Will there be enough time for that? There seem to be quite a lot of things that need to be done. As for the scope, if it’s not enough, let me know when we’re about to encroach on the special forces’ territory, and I’ll ask Him to help us expand it a bit."

Agunas flipped through the book in hand and said,

"There’s enough time, and for the whole continent, we’ve decided to use hidden materials from within the Data Domain to only set the basic rules, letting backgrounds and the like evolve on their own."

"Will there be enough material? Big Cat is trying to create a fantasy world without Spirit Beasts."

"It’s sufficient. Lately, there’s been a surge of special data merging into the Data Domain, much of which is fantasy-themed."

"Fine, I can’t really help you with materials – after all, I don’t have that sort of thing on hand right now."

Agunas glanced at Feng Yuan and said,

"No need, Big Cat can handle it. As for the expansion, when we need it, I will seek His help in your name."

"Suit yourself, but how’s the job class coming along? Why start me off as a refugee?"

"Refugee is a status not a job class; so far, only warrior and mage have been created."

Agunas gave Feng Yuan a sidelong glance and, putting Xiao Ji back on the ground, Feng Yuan looked at Agunas and said,

"Then make me a mage~"

"Isn’t your fighting style that of a warrior?"

"Cut it out! I am a noble mage!"

Feng Yuan said, looking at Qi Chen dissatisfiedly, who watched amused,

"The kind of mage who’s always carrying a weapon and charging to the forefront against monsters?"

"Tsk! Ever heard of a close combat mage?"

Qi Chen retorted, annoyed, glancing at Feng Yuan before saying helplessly,

"Even close combat mages don’t charge to the front to tank monsters, right?"

"Most of his moves are area of effect with high damage, or extremely destructive. That’s why he mainly relies on weapons."

Agunas commented from the side, as Qi Chen looked puzzled at Feng Yuan,

"Is that so?"

"Sort of. Most of my spells are high-order ones. It’s not that I don’t have lower-order spells; I just find they lack satisfying power and can’t solve problems in one go, so I can’t be bothered to use them."

Agunas said calmly, glancing at Feng Yuan.

"So, what skills are you planning to pick?"

Seeing that his class had changed to mage on the panel, Feng Yuan thought for a moment and said,

"Something with high power, like Earthshake or Apocalypse Punishment or something~"

"Do you want to demolish this place? We haven’t set up a backup system yet; any damage caused can’t be restored."

Seeing Big Cat staring at him with pitiful eyes, Feng Yuan scratched his head and said,

"Oh, I see. Then give me a few with no destructive power to try."

Upon seeing Skills like Spark, Whirlwind, and Starfire—typical beginner moves of Spirit Beasts—appear on the panel, Feng Yuan curiously said,

"Why are they all Spirit Beast moves?"

"We have no records from the Mythical Era, so we can’t directly transfer the skills data from the game."

Feng Yuan nodded in understanding, and Qi Chen, looking puzzled, asked,

"Why can’t we directly transfer the data from the game? Is it because it needs to be recreated?"

"That’s not it. The game world that Big Cat is working on now makes extensive use of real data, so the rules of the Data Domain lean towards reality. If we were to insert completely fantastical side data at this point, we really don’t know how many bugs would emerge from the conflict between the two."

"After all, you can’t rewrite a complete set of rules for every single skill, right? Like that invincibility stuff. In the game, it’s described as being completely invulnerable, but does such a thing exist in reality? To achieve that effect would require changing a bunch of rules, not to mention weird stuff like faster spell casting."

"Wasn’t there faster spell casting in the Mythical Era?"

Agunas looked at Feng Yuan questioningly, and, holding his forehead, Feng Yuan helplessly said,

"Your recovered memories don’t include anything about the Mythical Era?"

"Some, but not complete. I don’t have information on faster spell casting yet."

"Faster spell casting is just a technique to shorten incantations. After all, aside from the core incantations, if your power is sufficient, it doesn’t matter if you strip away the rest of the support incantations."

"Incantations?"

Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan with some confusion, and that’s when Dou Yanlan spoke up,

"The data I checked, though not explicitly marked as belonging to the Mythical Era, does contain vague records of traces from the earliest era, during which both humans and Spirit Beasts could use their own power to unleash ultimate moves."

Seeing Dou Yanlan look towards him, Feng Yuan nodded and said,

"Yes, that era did indeed have Divine Beings who surpassed ordinary humans. Divine Beings varied in strength, similar to today’s Spirit Beasts, except Divine Beings were human and didn’t undergo evolution."

"After the Mythical Era ended, He no longer allowed Divine Beings to be born and largely erased information about them, which is why it seems like the Mythical Era never existed."

Kicking a small stone at his feet, Feng Yuan said helplessly,

"Due to special reasons, the Mythical Era belongs to an irreversible past. Neither Lorraine Tower nor the White Wolf Deity nor Agunas can go back in time to the Mythical Era."

"A taboo?"

Dou Yanlan looked at Feng Yuan calmly, and then Feng Yuan casually threw out a Spark. Watching as the Spark fell to the ground and quickly extinguished, he turned to Agunas and said,

"This power seems a bit weak."

"That’s because it’s using real data. Your attributes haven’t been adjusted, so of course the power is like this."’

Feng Yuan waved his hand and countless tiny red sparks appeared around him. He reached out and touched the sparks, finding that he couldn’t feel any heat.

"Friend or foe identification, or else in team battles, those at the forefront would get killed by their allies’ ultimate moves."

Agunas explained, and Feng Yuan understood that this was probably a rule modified by Big Cat and the others based on the needs of the game. After all, as Agunas said, if it was like reality and made no distinction between friend and foe, unless everyone had control like the Spirit Beasts, a single round of group spells would indeed take out both teammates and enemies alike.

After casually trying a few skills, Feng Yuan found it uninteresting. Glancing at Agunas, he asked,

"What about warrior Skills? Having only ultimate moves as spells isn’t interesting."

Feng Yuan chuckled as he glanced at Agunas, who waved his pen, and after a while, the class on Feng Yuan’s panel changed to warrior. Looking at Agunas, Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"And the weapons?"

"In the backpack, get them yourself."

Feng Yuan tried to find the backpack, opened it, and was a bit surprised to see the weapons inside.
