Chapter 405: Chapter 405 Addicted to Gaming_1

"So it is... But you should be careful these days," Feng Yuan said as he stared at Yang Hong for a while. "Using the Data Domain to develop games with these add-on functions, someone might take an interest in you because of it."

"I don’t think you would consider that."

"Who says I can’t think of that!"

"Well... it was Han Mo who said it. He didn’t know it was your Spirit Beast that created the game. He just guessed that the game was not officially made by Great Xia, and that the creator probably is an individual, rather than an organization. People from other regions might target this person."

"How did he guess it wasn’t made by Great Xia officially?"

Feng Yuan asked curiously, looking at Yang Hong. After recalling the conversation, Yang Hong said,

"If it was officially made by Great Xia, it wouldn’t have gone online so simply, not to mention that similar games haven’t appeared in other regions, indicating that the related technology hasn’t been submitted to the Alliance. This doesn’t align with Great Xia’s interests."

"Although it entered the recommendation list of Great Xia’s game network, it’s not considered a major recommendation. It’s more like something that a privileged individual obtained through their privileges."

Feng Yuan understood that Yang Hong didn’t mean ’privileged individual’ in a derogatory sense. After all, to woo those powerful Beastmasters and reward those who have made contributions to the nation, each country has its own set of preferential and privilege policies that generally don’t cause serious consequences for ordinary people."

"The strangest thing is the timing of the game’s release, going online late at night as if it’s not a big deal. There are two possibilities. One is that the other party doesn’t value the game much, and the other is that the creator is someone who is very casual; this can be deduced from the frequent gameplay revisions since the launch."

Yang Hong finished speaking and stared at Feng Yuan, saying,

"What do you think?"

Scratching his face and looking somewhat sheepish, Feng Yuan replied with an evasive look,

"Couldn’t it just be that it got approved late at night and went online right away?"

"So, no promotion at all?"

"Han Mo’s analytical skills are really... But it’s strange, with that ability, why doesn’t he go to the Great Xia Academy?"

Feng Yuan asked, puzzled. The Great Xia Academy features a special military commander program, and with the abilities Han Mo is showing now, he could totally be directly admitted to the commander’s program. Although Feng Yuan could check most personal information, out of respect for his friends, he only checked if there was any threat and didn’t look into their pasts."

"I’m not sure, he seems to have a conflict with someone from the military."

"Is that so..."

"I’m full～ Now it’s time to go online and farm in Amber Valley～"

Looking at Feng Yuan, who was packing up, Agunas’s shadow couldn’t help but speak irritably,

"You should rest for a while, it’s better for you. You’ve almost been playing for a whole day; even if you won’t drop dead, you shouldn’t do this."

Xiao Ji, who had eaten her fill, yawned and soon after slumped on the ground, dozing off to sleep. The Dreaming Dragon Baby also looked listless, curling up on the couch and yawning. Seeing this, Feng Yuan hesitated and said,

"Then should we let them rest first?"

"You go to sleep!"

Agunas’s shadow said somewhat angrily. Seeing Agunas angry, Feng Yuan scratched his head, picked up Xiao Ji, and headed to the room. Yang Hong watched Feng Yuan’s departing back with a sense of helplessness; their relationship wasn’t yet at a point where he could speak freely. If Qi Chen were here, he would have likely sent Feng Yuan to sleep already, but he couldn’t do that. Fortunately, Agunas was still able to command Feng Yuan.

"You guys..."

After helping Feng Yuan take the Dreaming Dragon Baby back to the room, Yang Hong noticed Xiao Hui outside the door, with eyes sparkling, staring at him. Xiao Hei, which had been following him around, seemed to have found a backer and was wagging its tail and sticking out its tongue, looking up at him expectantly.

Without asking, Yang Hong knew that these two were addicted to the game created by Big Cat and were eager for him to take them back into the game.

"No, we have to patrol tomorrow. You guys need to rest early."

Yang Hong tapped on Xiao Hei’s head and said, Xiao Hui moved slowly back to its nest with a look of disappointment, while Xiao Hei barked a few times unwillingly and even tried to lick Yang Hong, but sadly was pushed away.

Seeing that acting cute was useless, Xiao Hei finally gave up, reluctantly taking three steps and looking back before returning to its little nest. It tossed and turned, unable to sleep, occasionally glancing at its paw and recalling how it killed enemies left and right with its ultimate moves in the game, its mouth gradually beginning to drool.

"What should I do if my Spirit Leaf Fox is addicted to this game?"

"Does anyone know how to cure a Wood Lizard of its internet addiction?"

"This damned game is poisonous! It’s not me who’s addicted; it’s my Earth Rock Turtle!"

"Discussing whether this game should implement an anti-addiction system for spirit beasts"

Just after waking up, Feng Yuan was reminded by the phantom of Agunas to check the game’s exclusive forum. Since Big Cat was still busy dealing with in-game rule revisions, the official forum that came with the Great Xia game was unmanaged, and Feng Yuan had thought it was the excessive spam that prompted Agunas’s reminder.

"There’s no problem with that, right?"

Upon checking, Feng Yuan was surprised to find that, even though there was no official team managing the forum, some players had applied to be temporary moderators to maintain order. Thanks to their management, there were no ads or inappropriate content. Just as Feng Yuan was puzzled, the phantom of Agunas spoke,

"What’s your take on spirit beasts getting addicted to games?"

"What can I say? If players don’t log in, the spirit beasts can’t log in by themselves. If that’s not enough to stop them, no other tactic will really work."

"You’re not thinking of another method?"

Glancing at the phantom of Agunas, Feng Yuan looked towards Xiao Ji and the Dreaming Dragon Baby, who were stirring in their sleep. Although the two little guys hadn’t woken up yet, the movements they were making made it clear to Feng Yuan that they were continuing to experience the sensation of the game in their dreams.

Noticing the movements of the two little ones, the phantom of Agunas said speechlessly,

"I never expected it to become addicted as well..."

"What’s so surprising about that? Being powerful doesn’t mean there’s nothing you can’t have. As long as it can fulfill that deficiency, even the most powerful beings will have moments of attachment."

Feng Yuan sighed, looking at the morning sun through the window and said. Although he didn’t quite understand what Feng Yuan had gone through, Agunas, with memories of the past, agreed with him. While it wouldn’t indulge in those beautiful memories, there was always nostalgic longing that couldn’t be eased.

"I’m logging into the game now. Let them come in by themselves when they wake up."

As Feng Yuan pulled up the game login interface, Xiao Ji suddenly woke up. Groggily glancing at Feng Yuan, it suddenly rushed over, somewhat angrily yapping. The Dreaming Dragon Baby, which seemed to have been awakened by Xiao Ji’s barks, rubbed its eyes, yawned, and floated towards Feng Yuan, apparently searching for food.

"Even the Dreaming Dragon Baby is more reliable than you are; not eating anything and just thinking about playing games?"

Agunas’s phantom didn’t know what to say to Feng Yuan and, giving the Dreaming Dragon Baby a flick on the forehead, Feng Yuan spoke impatiently,

"You little one, your desire for food actually surpasses your pursuit of the game."

The Dreaming Dragon Baby covered its forehead with its little paws, looking at Feng Yuan with a wronged expression. Feng Yuan sighed and took out his phone, saying,

"Shall we order the same takeout as yesterday?"

The Dreaming Dragon Baby was about to nod but suddenly remembered something and shook its head frantically. Xiao Ji glanced at Feng Yuan and yapped discontentedly. The phantom of Agunas said helplessly,

"Do you think they can finish all that food?"

"Didn’t they finish it all last night?"

"Breakfast and dinner are different, and even you didn’t order that much, did you?"

"Hmph, I’m just afraid they’ll go hungry."

"Afraid you just want to watch the excitement; be careful it gets angry."

"As if it would get so easily mad, right? Xiao Ji—ow! Why are you pecking me!"

After staring at Feng Yuan for a while, Xiao Ji turned its head away in dissatisfaction. After breakfast, Feng Yuan entered the game world again.
