CHAPTER 1461: CHAPTER 1462 THE END

"You really are willing to take a bite, aren’t you."

Seeing Long Boduo take a taste of the cotton candy lamb, Agunas commented speechlessly. This guy is really something... Long Boduo didn’t respond to Agunas but instead looked at Feng Yuan and said,

"The taste is quite good; this one is sweet strawberry-flavored."

"I’d rather not. I don’t like it when the food I eat makes bleating sounds."

Waving his hand and glancing at the continuously bleating cotton candy lamb, Feng Yuan said helplessly. Although he could guess that the thick silk on the cotton candy lamb was just pure cotton candy, the idea of eating such a thing... still feels very strange to him.

In any case, he couldn’t accept the fact that the food in his mouth would move and make sounds, even though it wasn’t the first time he’d seen something similar. He just couldn’t get used to it.

"I think it’s quite fun though."

Holding up the cotton candy lamb that had been bitten, Long Boduo said curiously. However, Feng Yuan wasn’t keen on explaining too much. The group had spent a long time in this Candy World, and Feng Yuan had taken many photos with Xiao Ji and the others to remember the visit. He even asked Big Cat to secretly copy the data of Candy World.

There was no other choice, since this was a space within the Data Domain. For Big Cat, copying the data of Candy World was troublesome but doable. Moreover, Big Cat had control over a space within the Data Domain. Agunas looked at Feng Yuan with curiosity and asked,

"What do you plan to do with the data of Candy World after having Big Cat copy it? If you use this data outright, it will certainly cause disputes, unless you plan to use it privately."

It knew that Feng Yuan wasn’t intending to use it for himself, but Maomu City wouldn’t be able to use the stolen data directly. After all, this Candy World was designed to promote the Honey Pot Earl’s Candy House and included several unique features. If you were to modify them all, it would be better to create a new one from scratch.

Given that Agunas and Big Cat had previously created a game world together, they knew that the difficulty wasn’t high, especially with Big Cat’s help, it would be quite simple.

"It’s for keepsakes. This thing might not always remain, so keeping it as a memento isn’t bad, right? And I can gradually turn it into a food world, adding all the delicious dishes I come across, hehe~"

"Sounds great. Once you finish it, I’d like to try it."

Long Boduo looked at Feng Yuan with interest. A food world that collects cuisines from all over? Sounds quite appealing~ Agunas cast his gaze at Feng Yuan and said,

"Just be careful not to bring trouble to Maomu City."

"A shovel? Quite unique. Could the treasure be buried underground? But that doesn’t make sense. Digging isn’t difficult, so why use it as an important tool?"

Feng Yuan scratched his head, feeling a bit confused while looking at the shovel obtained after passing a level. At that moment, the shovel transformed into a beam of light and merged into the map, lining up next to the key icon. He looked around at the new prompt and said,

"Follow the guidance of time to the land of new beginnings? What kind of strange clue is this?"

Not only Feng Yuan couldn’t understand this prompt at first, but Dou Yanlan and the others also didn’t know what it referred to. Veronia kept studying the surrounding buildings, which in this area recreated the architectural style of ancient Tiraya City, letting everyone experience the ancient atmosphere of Tiraya City.

However, some buildings nearby, slightly leaning towards the modern style, stood out starkly as if blotches of ink had stained a piece of white paper. Twirling her parasol, Veronia seemed to grasp something. Feng Yuan also noticed this situation and said suspiciously,

"Could the land of new beginnings mean the modern Tiraya City? If so, it makes sense to place several eye-catching Lent Period buildings here since that period was said to overthrow all the past, and its architectural style clashed the most with ancient styles."

"It’s a possibility; why not head in that direction and take a look?"

Nodding, Dou Yanlan couldn’t help but agree. She understood the hint couldn’t be too difficult, or it would block most people. Of course, if they didn’t intend to give out prizes, there might be that possibility. However, she couldn’t imagine Tiraya City being so stingy.

The architectural style conflict made it impossible for the group to ignore once they saw it. Thinking carefully, they realized this is likely the most plausible explanation. Following the sharply contrasting architectural styles, Feng Yuan and the group walked down a broad street. Along the way, the architectural styles continuously changed. Dou Yanlan, having seen related information in the travel guide, said,

"Looks like we are on the right track. These surroundings’ architecture is entirely designed with highly representative styles from different periods arranged chronologically. This means the endpoint should be the modern Tiraya City architecture? I wonder how much further we have to go."

Though treasure hunting was fun, each had a treasure-hunting route; if too long, going through each one might waste time. Yet, splitting up didn’t seem appealing, as their primary goal wasn’t the eventual reward.

"It should be about enough, right? I don’t believe they would make it overly complex or troublesome."

Glancing at the treasure-hunt hint, Feng Yuan said, and upon reaching the endpoint, the hint changed to searching for the treasure’s location and using the shovel to dig it up.

"Hmm, this clue is a bit tricky. The entire plaza is the scope. Finding such a small thing in such a large space isn’t easy."

Scratching his head, Feng Yuan said somewhat frustrated. Qi Chen puzzled, pointed at the bushes in the clue image, and said,

"Since the place where the treasure chest is buried has bushes, shouldn’t be hard to find, right?"

"That depends on what they think. If they mislead on purpose, I bet it’s definitely not in usual flower beds."

Looking at the burial place image, Feng Yuan said. He could think of quite a few special places similar to this. Shrugging, Feng Yuan said helplessly,

"But whatever, let’s all look together. I’ll search those peculiar places, Qi Chen, you and Hong Zhi, check out the surrounding flower beds, and Dou Yanlan, you know places where this thing could be insidiously hidden, right?"

Nodding, Dou Yanlan chuckled softly and said,

"It’s not insidious; you just didn’t think of it. I’ll check the window sills in this direction."

Hearing Dou Yanlan’s words, Feng Yuan knew she genuinely understood. Since that was the case, he didn’t worry anymore and led Xiao Ji and Long Boduo to a house, looked up at the second-floor balcony, and said,

"Let’s investigate here first."

"Wait! What do you plan to do? You’re not thinking of rummaging through someone’s house, are you?!"

Agunas was startled, asked Feng Yuan incredulously. It had forgotten that in Data City, due to how it mirrored the real world, there were no actual residents.

"Of course not, but if they wanted to trick someone, it’s entirely possible to have the balcony’s flower beds look like that. Hmm, this height is a bit high."

Looking at the second-floor balcony, Feng Yuan scratched his head, although he could fly. Still, in that case, placing it on a second-floor seemed unlikely; however, Long Boduo, after seemingly doing something, sprouted wings on his back and flew up to the balcony, yelling down to Feng Yuan,

"Come on up; there’s actually a flower bed here!"

"What did you just do?"

Asked subconsciously, Feng Yuan then noticed a new wing icon beside the map. Clicking it, Feng Yuan sprouted wings on his back. Though unable to control these wings, Feng Yuan felt he could control his flying altitude.

This discovery wasn’t surprising to Feng Yuan. If people truly could control the wings, Feng Yuan was sure that many users would crash and burn like Big Cat. No choice, flying with wings wasn’t something easily mastered.

This feature’s appearance reassured Feng Yuan that the treasure spot must be somewhere unique; otherwise, there wouldn’t be a flight means provided.
