Chapter 1463: Chapter 1464: Snacks

Back at the main venue of the Hollet District, Feng Yuan and his group noticed that the Data Domain gate there seemed a bit chaotic, but Feng Yuan wasn’t surprised. After all, many people still wanted to go treasure hunting, and those inside were forced out by the six-hour limit. With so many people gathered there, it would be strange if it wasn’t chaotic.

“Looks like they weren’t completely prepared.”

Feng Yuan chuckled and said. If the organizers had prepared in advance, the gate shouldn’t have been bidirectional. However, changing the Space Gate to the Data Domain takes time unless they utilize Space Series or Data Lineage Spirit Beasts to set it up.

“Indeed, but it might mean finding a place to eat won’t be that easy either.”

Agunas glanced at Feng Yuan, reminding him that with so many people, it would be strange if those restaurants weren’t overcrowded. Feng Yuan smiled, not worried about this.

Despite the crowds, Feng Yuan and his group managed to find a place to have a lunch that wasn’t particularly satisfying. There was no help; there were just too many people near the main venue, and the well-known restaurants already had long queues. They didn’t want to use special tricks to cut in line.

“Alright, shall we go get some snacks?”

Patting his stomach, Feng Yuan looked at Qi Chen and the others and asked. Since they were full, they could now slow down and queue for other things. Long Boduo perked up and looked at Feng Yuan, saying,

“Of course, but will it take a long time? I also want to check out the racing venue.”

“It shouldn’t take long; let’s just find some speedy snacks.”

Looking at the stalls with queues of varying lengths, Feng Yuan said, spinning her parasol, Veronia suggested,

“How about Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan go save us a spot while we split up, and each of us buys for everyone else?”

“Great idea~ Let’s see… gather back around 3:10, then~”

Hearing Veronia’s suggestion, Feng Yuan’s eyes lit up. He checked the time and agreed, even though Qi Chen wanted to point out that saving a spot didn’t require two people. Dou Yanlan seemed to understand something and gently shook Qi Chen’s arm with a smile.

As everyone split up, Cotton meowed at Ah Mu, taking it and the three little ones away. Seeing the wallet hanging around Cotton’s neck and their actions, Qi Chen seemed to understand and looked at Dou Yanlan with a slightly flushed face.

“The snacks you have were just bought?”

Noticing Feng Yuan munching on crunchy bites from a snack bag labeled as premium dog food, Agunas asked, puzzled when he bought that stuff.

“No, I bought it from Solech when I saw it and grabbed it at the time. Hey, this seems good; I’ll go line up~”

Offhandedly answering, Feng Yuan’s eyes brightened, and he went to line up. Agunas swung his tail and scanned the surrounding mobile stalls. Despite the large crowd of tourists, the vendors seemed quick to react. Besides freshly made items, they were constantly transporting semi-finished or even finished products from elsewhere.

This was why the lines weren’t as long here as in dining areas. Additionally, a significant number of people were re-entering Data City, and the number of people in the main venue of the Hollet District was continuously decreasing. They were likely entering Data City.

“That shop?”

Noticing a seemingly hidden mobile shop, Agunas furrowed his eyebrows, glanced at Feng Yuan, who was in line, and said something before transforming into a white-haired teenage boy and approaching the shop quietly.

When it was time to get back together, everyone placed the snacks they bought on a table set up by Ah Mu at the meeting point. Seeing the food Agunas brought, Long Boduo curiously said,

“Did you get stuff from that beautifully hidden dessert shop for your use?”

“Any problem?”

Although he had checked carefully, Agunas wasn’t entirely sure there was no issue with these things. After looking at the exquisite desserts, Feng Yuan chuckled and said,

“There shouldn’t be any. I initially thought that shop was just a gimmick. Unique things attract people, don’t they? I didn’t expect the shop to be so… quirky.”

Feng Yuan could tell at a glance that these desserts were of excellent quality, and there was no problem with the ingredients at least. As for the taste? He couldn’t judge, but with select ingredients, it shouldn’t turn out to be a culinary disaster, right?

“Are you guys talking about that dessert shop that can’t be discovered without a Good Level ability? That shop is really something special.”

Veronia chimed in from the side. Although the shop had cloaked itself with an Ultimate Move, everyone there, except Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan, was strong enough to notice it easily. Feng Yuan chuckled and said,

“Then I’ll taste what that shop has to offer first~”

With that, Feng Yuan forked a dumpling, and after a moment of contemplation, he said,

“I see now. No wonder. This shop actually made desserts similar to potions. Without Good Level skills, consuming them might cause issues like a stomachache. But surely they warned people to differentiate Spirit Beast food from human food, right?”

Glancing at the paper bowl labeled with the Beaming Desserts Shop’s tag, Feng Yuan guessed. Agunas nodded and said,

“They did remind people not to mix them. What’s the issue?”

“Of course, if humans consume Spirit Beast potions, it’s usually trouble. This shop’s got some guts.”

Long Boduo said in surprise. Seeing Agunas seem momentarily confused, he explained,

“This shop’s Spirit Beast food is akin to the same level of Spirit Beast potions. Normally, no one would do such a thing.”

Upon hearing Long Boduo’s explanation, Agunas realized Spirit Beast potions and food are different. Spirit Beast food merely catered to their palate, but potions contained significant energy. Even a Good Level potion’s energy isn’t something a Beastmaster at the same level could handle.

“No wonder they hid intentionally, afraid of accidents.”

Feng Yuan wasn’t surprised by this realization. A Good Level Beastmaster should at least understand the implications of consuming Spirit Beast food accidentally; it’s much more than a stomachache and might need a hospital visit.

Feng Yuan even suspected that shop repeatedly warned customers to avoid any mishaps.

“But the taste is quite good. Xiao Ji, you should taste it too; just don’t eat too much, or you’ll definitely gain weight like Big Cat.”

Telling Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan suddenly recalled and said with a mischievous grin that it wasn’t really a lie. Such energy-rich food could indeed lead to quick weight gain for Xiao Ji.

After hearing Feng Yuan, Xiao Ji only pecked at one fried dumpling before not daring to eat any more. Fortunately, Agunas didn’t buy much of the desserts to begin with, so after sharing them, everyone only had a taste. Savoring it, Feng Yuan said,

“The taste is quite nice. Next time, we can buy more. Hmm, I wonder if they offer delivery services.”

“I don’t think anyone’s delivery service can ship across regions.”

Qi Chen rolled his eyes at Feng Yuan and said. That stuff was indeed delicious, but he only dared to eat one before stopping, unable to deal with the abundant energy in it. Even human versions were high-energy foods, and he and Dou Yanlan were too weak to eat much.

“Well… forget it.”

Stealing a glance at Agunas, Feng Yuan sighed with guilt. Although he could create a stable Space Gate, it wasn’t necessary for this. It was better to make it himself. Agunas glanced at Feng Yuan, remaining silent, suspecting Feng Yuan wanted him to help. But since Feng Yuan gave up, Agunas didn’t concern himself further.

After finishing the various snacks they bought, Feng Yuan happily patted his belly and looked at Agunas, saying,

“I’m full~ How about checking out the racing venue in Data City? It’ll help digest.”

“Exercising right after eating? Aren’t you afraid of problems.”

Giving Feng Yuan a sidelong glance, Agunas said, exasperated. Feng Yuan chuckled and said,

“Don’t forget, that’s Data Domain, and special methods can alleviate that side effect~”

“Really?”

Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Agunas looked at him in shock. If the Data Domain can affect lifeforms in the real world, wouldn’t that be… very dangerous?
