Chapter 965: Chapter 966 Differences

"They actually like buildings made of steel and concrete?"

The person in charge, called by Liao Yu, was somewhat surprised after hearing Veronia’s translation. He didn’t expect these stray spirit beasts to prefer those concrete buildings over the current native botanical garden. Hearing this, Feng Yuan couldn’t help but laugh and say,

"Isn’t that normal? If they liked living in the wild, why would they stay in the city?"

In the entire Divine Land Region, only about half of the area is actually developed and utilized by humans. Many places are rarely visited by humans, so these beasts really have plenty of places to go. Besides, humans don’t stop them and even try to send them back to suitable habitats, yet they still choose to return to the city to live.

"That’s true, we did overlook that point."

The person in charge said with some embarrassment. They had been so focused on considering the ecological commonality of the spirit beasts’ original habitats that they had overlooked the reasons why they insisted on staying in the city.

"Speaking of which, why build here? Although you tried to cover it up, it still looks a bit odd."

Feng Yuan asked curiously. After all, this place was originally a large lawn, and the surrounding environment hadn’t changed, but they had turned this lawn into a visually obstructive botanical maze, which always seemed a bit discordant.

"This..."

"No worries, he might know even more than you do."

Seeing the person in charge looking at him, Liao Yu waved his hand and checked his watch,

"I’ll leave the environmental transformation to you, I have to go now."

"What are you up to now?"

Feng Yuan looked at Liao Yu with some surprise, and Liao Yu replied somewhat irritably,

"I’m on a mission, checking on the living conditions of the stray spirit beasts is one of my duties."

"I thought you were just slacking off here~"

Feng Yuan said with a mischievous smile. In fact, he had guessed that Liao Yu was probably here to inspect and see if anyone dared to harm the stray spirit beasts. After all, he was wearing a Special Duty Team uniform. If he wanted to slack off, he would at least need to change out of his uniform, otherwise getting caught slacking off would likely cause even more trouble.

Liao Yu didn’t say much and quickly left. If it weren’t for bumping into Feng Yuan, he would have left earlier. But it seemed not too bad after all? At least now it was clear what those stray spirit beasts really needed.

"Is it just temporary? If so, it might be better to use a modular design for their living area so it’s easier to manage when relocating."

After hearing the explanation, Feng Yuan thoughtfully said. No wonder the integration seemed so disjointed; it was temporarily set up here. The new City Defense System involved more than just swapping out defense mechanisms; it also included a re-planning and modification of various functional zones, like the current plaza, which has seen many changes in the plans, including the stray spirit beast living area.

Actually, it was a new proposal made after the re-planning. As the number of stray spirit beasts in the city increased, although spirit beasts are generally clean and rarely harm people on purpose, it was agreed that the re-planning was an opportunity to secure a territory for them.

This would be their living area, ensuring at least they wouldn’t have to roam around looking for places to sleep at night. Sometimes, their sleeping spots were dangerous. There had been incidents of stray spirit beasts sleeping near energy node transformation facilities, nearly getting killed by accidentally released energy.

As for the Stray Spirit Beast Paradise on the plaza, it was a trial site. After all, no one knew whether the stray spirit beasts would accept their goodwill. Moreover, if they simply allocated a territory to them, there could be other problems, such as hunters or greedy people targeting these gathered stray spirit beasts.

Therefore, everyone agreed to temporarily delineate a trial area on the big lawn of the plaza to test whether this idea was feasible. Otherwise, why would the people of the Special Duty Team patrol here? As if they have to handle everything?

"But this isn’t easy to handle, and there’s a problem with the design."

The person in charge scratched his head and looked at the notes in his book. Their needs vary so much; some like narrow concrete rooms, some like crawling into metal crevices, and others prefer spacious plastic spaces. Seeing that the other party was temporarily at a loss, Feng Yuan said with a hint of amusement.

"No need to completely target their needs; just summarize these data and deduce the common needs. After all, they come and go freely; no one knows when they will leave, there is no need to be overly precise. Also, it would be good to investigate the distribution of the Stray Spirit Beasts’ habitats throughout Maomu City."

"Indeed, there aren’t that many Stray Spirit Beasts here. Furthermore, many can only maintain their original lifestyle for now, but if that is the case..."

Summarizing the data on hand wasn’t much trouble, but the distribution of those Stray Spirit Beasts was quite a headache. After all, they didn’t have enough manpower for this task, whether it was the Special Duty Team or the police. As for mobilizing the guard force, that was out of the question. Not to mention that it wasn’t appropriate, they were also busy handling the new academy assessments and couldn’t spare people to help.

"Let the community’s staff take note of the habitat distribution. If they don’t even understand their own areas, that’s no longer your concern, right?"

Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, the person in charge responded with a bitter smile,

"That’s not impossible, but they might complain, right? They already have a lot on their plate, and now we’re adding more to their workload."

"Anyway, I’ve given you the suggestion; how you proceed is up to you. I can’t possibly ask Agunas to help you."

Glancing at Feng Yuan, Agunas flicked its tail annoyingly. What the other said was true; they couldn’t possibly intervene in such matters. They weren’t human nannies; how could they bother with such trivial matters?

Veronia looked towards Feng Yuan and suggested,

"How about letting me..."

"Best not. You establish a Spirit Beast Kingdom, the territory might be easily resolved, those uninhabited areas could give you some space, but what about later?"

Feng Yuan said somewhat speechlessly, knowing all too well what she intended to do without her finishing. Veronia, slightly dissatisfied, glanced at Feng Yuan and drifted aside to speak with other Spirit Beasts. After a while, she floated back, visibly disappointed.

"What’s that?"

The person in charge looked curiously at Veronia, puzzled about what Spirit Beast Kingdom she wanted to create. Feng Yuan chuckled awkwardly and said,

"Don’t mind her, she’s just not quite adapted to modern society yet. Just ignore her; she is after all a Divine Beast. If she really gets angry, you might not be able to handle it."

Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, the person in charge stared at Veronia in shock; he hadn’t expected her to be a Divine Beast. But how was this person seemingly good friends with a Divine Beast? Could he be that extraordinary person recently talked about?

"What’s wrong?"

Seeing him continuously sizing him up, Feng Yuan scratched his head, puzzled about what was bothering him. After staring at Feng Yuan for a while, the person in charge said somewhat sheepishly,

"Are you the one beloved by Divine Beasts?"

"What are you talking about?"

Feng Yuan looked at him, utterly confused. He didn’t understand what he meant. What did being beloved by Divine Beasts mean? Agunas flicked its tail and commented,

"It seems the more it’s passed on, the stranger it gets. You being beloved by Divine Beasts doesn’t quite make sense, does it?"

Feng Yuan and they were simply on equal footing; strictly speaking, he had helped them too much. Therefore, they would help Feng Yuan in matters that didn’t involve their bottom line, but this had nothing to do with being beloved. Just like those Five Spirit Divine Beasts, their attitude towards Feng Yuan wasn’t necessarily friendly; they merely helped.

"Isn’t it?"

The person in charge looked baffled at Feng Yuan, who shook his head and said,

"No, I just have a good relationship with some Divine Beasts. As for the others, they are willing to help me only due to some special reasons."
