Capítulo 1733: Chapter 1734: Choosing a Means of Transportation

Because Feng Yuan and his group returned earlier than the teacher expected, other classes have not yet completed the trial besides Feng Yuan’s class, and everyone learned some information about this trial from the teacher. As expected, the teachers themselves planned this trial.

However, since everyone was not skilled with the details, the data team of Maomu Special Service was tasked with handling them. Initially, Feng Yuan was puzzled about this strange name but later realized it was due to the special circumstances in Maomu City.

Originally, responses and prevention against the Data Domain were handled by Special Duty Teams in various locations. However, due to Feng Yuan, Maomu City has a deeper understanding of the Data Domain. So relying solely on the Special Duty Team would be troublesome and prone to issues, thus they established a separate department under the Special Duty Team specifically for the Data Domain, similar to other cities with high research progress.

This department is of a temporary nature since everyone knows that as research continues to deepen, all cities will likely make extensive use of the Data Domain. Eventually, there will be a unified department for management. Meanwhile, a temporary department has been set up for handling.

The hidden boss, the academy principal, was proposed by the principal himself. The teachers couldn’t be so bold as to do something impulsive. Although the possibility of discovering the hidden boss was not particularly high, they didn’t underestimate this batch of students.

Outside of Class 1, students from the command department are mixed into other classes. Their concerns proved correct as Feng Yuan’s class has identified and located the hidden boss. As for other classes? The quickest Class 5 seems to have also sensed the existence of the mastermind.

Whether they can discover that hidden boss is uncertain, since special existences like Xiao Ji are not common.

After having a sumptuous dinner, everyone did not immediately leave. The teachers had to stay and complete wrapping up work with the staff. Although Feng Yuan’s battle data has been stored in a dedicated area in Data City, this attempt to overlay Data Domain with reality is also an experiment.

They need to finish handling physical equipment and follow-up environmental detection before they can leave. The students were not in a hurry to return to the academy. After several group actions, their relationships might not be great, but at least decent.

Although Agunas wasn’t there, Feng Yuan could not directly open a large portal back to the academy. Yet the teachers have helped them obtain night permits, so once past 11 PM, they can ride Spirit Beasts back. As for before then?

They either had to call a taxi or find other means. Otherwise, the teachers wouldn’t have applied for permits given the scarcity of public transport.

This was the first time everyone obtained a permit to ride Spirit Beasts through city roads. Quite a few were willing to wait more than forty minutes just to experience riding a Spirit Beast along urban roads.

Of course, not everyone’s Spirit Beast could be ridden, but even the likes of Tan Xueluo’s Panshi could carry multiple riders. Thus, during the time before eleven o’clock, the students were busy finding people to team up, just waiting for the moment to ride their Spirit Beasts back to school together.

Qi Chen looked perplexed at Feng Yuan, who circled the small garden of Chunhe Garden, and asked.

“Aren’t you going to look for Tan Xueluo?”

“Why should I look for her?”

Feng Yuan looked at Qi Chen strangely, not understanding what he meant, scratched his head, and lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly.

“Agunas isn’t around. How do you plan to go back?”

“Of course, I’ll ride the White Shadow Wolf. By the way, Ah Mu and Cotton can’t carry people. How do you plan to go back? Would you like to ride the White Shadow Wolf together?”

“White Shadow Wolf?”

Qi Chen was momentarily dazed before recalling that this guy could indeed summon the affiliate of the White Wolf Deity, which would naturally transport him back to the academy. Furthermore, with his credentials, he could ride Spirit Beasts on city roads even before 11 PM.

Of course, he’d have to explain to the Special Duty Team afterward, since the 11 PM limit on permits was set to avoid inconveniences to ordinary citizens. Even the Special Duty Team wouldn’t do this without an emergency.

“Wouldn’t it be too much trouble for them?”

Dou Yanlan frowned and asked Feng Yuan. After all, neither the White Wolf Deity nor White Shadow Wolves have records of appearing in Maomu City before Feng Yuan summoned them, which suggests they do not reside in this area. Calling them over for such a trivial matter might be excessive?

“Not at all. They don’t have much else to do anyway. Although affiliates have many annoying tasks, they do have advantages since besides their main roles, they don’t need to seek resources like wild Spirit Beasts.”

Feng Yuan shook his head and said. Veronia glanced at Feng Yuan and remarked.

“I recall the White Shadow Wolves don’t have specific main roles?”

“It’s not really like that. They mainly act alongside the White Wolf Deity, only there isn’t much they need to do.”

“How do you guys plan to head back?”

Feng Yuan curiously asked Qi Chen as he spoke, considering he could summon White Shadow Wolves. Qi Chen seemed to lack rideable Spirit Beasts. Regarding using Nether Cross? Forget it. Even with a permit, they couldn’t use attack-type ultimate moves on urban roads.

The ultimate move is often used for traveling, but in essence, it’s a powerful attack-type move. Using it in city limits would definitely be detected; even Feng Yuan doing it wouldn’t avoid criticism, let alone Dou Yanlan.

Feng Yuan could justify certain breaches due to significant contributions without causing any harm but Dou Yanlan lacked Feng Yuan’s contributions and would definitely be penalized for rashness.

Since Cotton can’t use Nether Cross, relying on Ah Mu was even less likely as Ah Mu’s movement speed is inherently slow. Even if carrying people wouldn’t affect its pace, walking wouldn’t necessarily be faster than they could walk.

“We plan to take a taxi back. Although public transport has stopped, we can still call taxis.”

Qi Chen said indifferently, considering he wasn’t interested in riding Spirit Beasts like others. They’ve experienced Beast Tamer rides with Feng Yuan dashing around, so weren’t keen on another city road ride.

Apologies, even riding Spirit Beasts requires adhering to road speed limits unless in emergencies, and even permits demand adherence. That’s why few apply for them due to potential speeding and hassles.

“Taxi? Or we could ride the White Shadow Wolf together back?”

Feng Yuan suggested looking at Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan. Since the teacher didn’t know who would ride Spirit Beasts, permits were applied for everyone. Regarding speed limits, Feng Yuan also reminded everyone to be cautious; moreover, using the whole route’s minimum limit wouldn’t pose speeding concerns.

“Wouldn’t it be troublesome for them?”

Dou Yanlan seemed tempted, not for money’s sake. In comparison, Qi Chen and others had enough Spiritual Medicine and Materials from touring Omeilia Region with Feng Yuan, thus their earned credits haven’t been touched since beginning of school.

Moreover, squad tasks not only provide credits but cash rewards. Given Feng Yuan leads them to tougher assignments, they currently aren’t particularly short on money.

However, calling taxis wasn’t easy at this time, especially with many students around and the location being remote, making it difficult to get cars.

“No trouble at all. I’ll call them over now.”

Feng Yuan said casually checking the time, since the White Shadow Wolves’ habitats were unique requiring spatial traversal regardless of location meaning everywhere’s essentially the same for them.
