Chapter 399: Chapter 399: Staying Over_1

"Will Yimu Qingling really come?"

Excited and unable to contain himself, Kang Ping asked again. Feng Yuan glanced at Kang Ping without answering, since he had already asked several times. Qi Chen said helplessly,

"You can’t be that excited, can you?"

"Eh? Cousin, didn’t you know that Yimu Qingling doesn’t have a Divine Pact Maker yet? What if it takes a liking to me at first sight and chooses me to be its Divine Pact Maker? What should I say then?"

Glancing at Kang Ping, Feng Yuan said with a curl of his lips,

"Give it up, Yimu Qingling won’t be looking for a Divine Pact Maker anytime soon."

"Who said that! Vermilion Bird found one already!"

Watching the starry sky gradually obscured by dark clouds, Feng Yuan sighed and said,

"Let’s go, it’s here."

"How do you know?"

Feng Yuan didn’t answer Kang Ping’s question, instead, he walked out of the room with Xiao Ji and the others cradling Pomiti. Seeing that Qi Chen’s mother and aunt were still chatting and not wanting to disturb them, he quietly opened the front door.

"Why did you call me here? What’s the matter?"

The massive head of Yimu Qingling loomed in front of Feng Yuan, speaking in a perplexed tone. It had been patrolling the high skies when suddenly it received a message from Agunas that Feng Yuan needed to see it.

Feng Yuan immediately told Yimu Qingling about the issues that Big Cat was facing. After listening to Feng Yuan’s explanation, Yimu Qingling thought for a moment and then asked,

"What do you want to happen now?"

"Big Cat owns all the rights to the game, so it would be best if it could be registered and launched online, and commercial operation would be even better."

"That... can be done. I will have a word with them; this doesn’t violate any laws."

"But doesn’t running a game require a company?"

Qi Chen asked perplexedly, upon which Yimu Qingling said after glancing at him,

"That’s for regular games. There are no specific laws for virtual games right now. While the typical game laws could be applied directly, temporary regulations could also be introduced specifically for virtual games."

"Moreover, I’ve heard about issues within the Data Domain. Currently, Great Xia is legislating for the Data Domain, and the core articles that have been decided state that,

the ownership of the Data Domain belongs to the user (equal rights for Spirit Beasts and humans), and the Data Domains possessed by the people of Great Xia fall under the territory of Great Xia. If someone renounces their citizenship of Great Xia Country, the Data Domain they occupy will be treated as a territorial dispute and submitted to the Alliance for arbitration."

"Is it because Data-based Spirit Beasts have started to appear?"

Yimu Qingling nodded and said,

"Correct, Data-based Spirit Beasts have been discovered in various regions, and with the help of these beasts, different areas have begun developing their Data Domains. If it weren’t for this sudden war, everyone might be busy fighting over territories within the Data Domain."

Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"Then we are in luck. Please take care of the game registration then~"

"If there’s nothing else, I’ll be taking my leave."

Yimu Qingling said to Feng Yuan, and upon realizing that there was nothing more, the massive dragon soared into the sky to continue its patrol.

"Then I’ll be leaving first~"

"Hey, why don’t you... sleep in my bed?"

Seeing Feng Yuan turning to leave, Qi Chen thought for a moment and then spoke up. He could guess why Feng Yuan wanted to stay at his place – because of the impending parting, he supposed Feng Yuan was looking for a place where he could be among familiar people. Turning around, Feng Yuan gave a forced smile and said,

"Forget it, there’s no issue if I go back to sleep."

Watching Feng Yuan’s somewhat lonely figure, Qi Chen didn’t know what to say, aware that for now, it wasn’t feasible to have Feng Yuan stay over at his home.

Kang Ping scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed at Qi Chen, who sighed. Qi Chen seemed to remember something and took out his phone to make a call.

"Why aren’t you going home and staying at the school instead?"

Feng Yuan looked puzzled at Yang Hongzhi in front of him. He had just received a call from Yang Hongzhi asking him to wait at the bus stop sign, and he thought it was about something important, but it turned out Yang Hongzhi was inviting him to rest in his dormitory.

"Of course there’s a reason. Right now, every academy is assigning patrol duties to their teams, and completing them earns extra academic credits."

"So that’s why you’re staying?"

Scratching his head, Yang Hongzhi beamed and said,

"Of course, if I perform well now, maybe I can join the guard team or the special services directly after I graduate."

"Tsk, I remember you have more than a year left until you graduate, right? Planning so far ahead?"

Yang Hongzhi chuckled without explaining, and Najia glanced at Feng Yuan before floating onto Yang Hongzhi’s shoulder. Just as they got on the bus and sat down, Yang Hongzhi noticed the change in Big Cat and exclaimed in surprise,

"It actually evolved!"

"You just noticed? It just evolved. So what?"

Yang Hongzhi looked curiously at Big Cat and said,

"Game-specialized evolution?"

"Right, what’s up?"

"If the professors at the academy found out, I bet they’d all want to study it. I asked them before if it was possible for there to be scholars who specialized in gaming, in the form of an owl, and they all said no."

Glancing at Yang Hongzhi, Feng Yuan said speechlessly,

"Are you trying to slap their faces? Be careful, or they won’t let you graduate."

"This..."

Reminded by Feng Yuan, Yang Hongzhi felt somewhat sheepish, and Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"But is it convenient for you? Don’t have me make a wasted trip, okay~"

Glancing at Feng Yuan, Yang Hongzhi said,

"I’ve moved to the villa now. It can accommodate four people, but I’m the only one living there now. What do you think?"

"Eh? You’ve changed dormitories already?"

"What else? Xiao Hui has no room to play."

"It hasn’t learned to change its form yet?"

Feng Yuan looked at Yang Hongzhi in surprise, rubbing his temple with a somewhat headache-inducing motion, Yang Hongzhi said helplessly,

"Not yet. Don’t know why, but it just can’t learn."

"I see. Later, let it out and I’ll try to teach it."

Scratching his head, Yang Hongzhi said embarrassedly,

"It’s staying in the dorm now."

Feng Yuan gave Yang Hongzhi a speechless look and said,

"You really are carefree, daring to go out without your Spirit Beast at a time like this?"

"I just came to pick you up. Having Xiao Hei is enough."

"Your alertness is really poor..."

Feng Yuan and Yang Hongzhi were chatting as the bus slowly made its way to Maomu Academy in the night.

"Eh? Does your academy have a tradition of not going home during holidays?"

Looking at the bustling Maomu Academy, Feng Yuan glanced at Yang Hongzhi with some surprise, Yang Hongzhi, who had let Xiao Hei out to follow at his side, looked at the students chatting in groups as if they were about to do something and said,

"How could that be possible? It’s just that there’s an urgent mission now, and everyone stayed to show off their skills. If we back down now, we might as well have chosen an ordinary university from the beginning."

Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"I didn’t expect you guys to have such a strong combat desire~"

Yang Hongzhi sighed and said,

"I just don’t want to disappoint her..."

"So, you have a mission tomorrow?"

"No need. We’ll take a two-week break before moving out in small teams. Right now, it’s totally free time for everyone; if you want to undertake missions, you can do some solo ones."

"What’s up?"

Yang Hongzhi looked at Feng Yuan curiously, rubbing Pomiti in his arms, Feng Yuan said,

"I’m planning to bunk with you for a while. Oh, and do you want to try out an online game? The kind where, if you don’t spend money, you can’t even beat the little monsters~"

"What kind of nonsense... Can you even play that game?"

"Why not~"

Seeing Feng Yuan’s bizarre smile, Yang Hongzhi realized and said speechlessly,

"You’re really teasing me."

"I can’t exactly say I’m teasing you. I’m not clear on what Big Cat has made of the game; if it’s too realistic, then it’s true that newbies might not beat even the basic monsters without spending money."

"If that’s the case, then the game can’t let Big Cat evolve."

The specter of Agunas said speechlessly, and Big Cat at the side voiced its displeasure with dissatisfied meows, apparently expressing its discontent with Feng Yuan’s slander.

Yang Hongzhi looked at Big Cat in surprise and said,

"You actually made a game? What type is it?"

"Massive multiplayer online role-playing virtual game."

"What kind of weird genre is that..."

Yang Hongzhi covered his forehead and said.
