Divine Beast Creator

Chapter 2396 - 2397: Exotic Crystals

The enthusiastic girl once again urged the Witch Baby to act, but this time, the Witch Baby led everyone to another shop.

"Why do we always get different results each time?"

Qi Chen looked curiously at Feng Yuan. If it weren’t for feeling that the girl wasn’t playing tricks on them, Qi Chen might suspect they were being fooled.

"Destiny is uncertain, not to mention that the Witch Baby’s magic doesn’t involve time; it’s merely a simple rule-based effect. Even if you switch to current computer programming, after gathering enough data, a similar outcome can be achieved."

Without waiting for Dou Yanlan to speak, Feng Yuan directly explained, the magic and ultimate moves are at the same level yet not so magical. Many magics have been replaced by technology, and what the Witch Baby uses is naturally one of them.

The different outcomes didn’t surprise Feng Yuan; if the result was the same and seen before as a souvenir, Feng Yuan would be tempted, but the reality was quite different.

So Feng Yuan was certain that this time’s result was definitely different from last time, after all, this thing is guided entirely by personal thoughts.

"Hmm, is this... does this shop have all these things?"

Seeing the shop sign that was both elegant and slightly arrogant, Feng Yuan was taken aback. He hadn’t really noticed it before, Qi Chen examined the shop sign and said

"This seems to be selling exotic crystals?"

"Yes, a rich person’s toy, or rather, something not very useful."

Although he said that, Feng Yuan became interested. Despite this being the reality, the exotic crystals are indeed quite special. Although they offer no enhancement in combat power, they have a particularly unique effect.

That is, to a certain extent, they can change the appearance of ultimate moves. That’s right, this thing is expensive; its only effect is to limit the change in the appearance of some ultimate moves, similar to skill skins in games.

The reason it’s not complete is that this thing cannot change ultimate moves requiring precise control of energy, as its essence is merely a kind of illusion technique effect, providing no other practical benefits beyond some visual alteration.

Therefore, this thing is also known as the plaything of rich people. For Beastmasters, especially those with strength, this thing is virtually useless. In fact, it might even affect their battles due to its effect on changing ultimate move appearances.

Feng Yuan wasn’t worried about this issue because Xiao Ji’s ultimate move control is insufficient, so even if the appearance of the ultimate move changes, it wouldn’t have much effect on Xiao Ji, as for the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound?

It also isn’t one for precise work, or rather, none of the Spirit Beasts around Feng Yuan rely on meticulous control of ultimate moves to confront opponents.

"It should be more than just changing the appearance of ultimate moves, let’s go take a look."

Although he passed by before, Feng Yuan was thinking of other ornament-like souvenirs at the time, so he hadn’t paid too much attention to this shop. Now thinking it over carefully, Feng Yuan felt there should indeed be some unique features.

If it were only selling exotic crystals, it couldn’t have sustained itself on this street for so long. Judging by the shop sign, it’s clear this shop can be considered a long-standing establishment.

Without some unique features, Feng Yuan didn’t believe this shop could have lasted so long on this street.

"Welcome, if you need any special effects, you can first check the display table; there are common templates on it. If customers want customization, you need to first confirm whether we can achieve it."

As Feng Yuan pushed the door open, a welcoming voice came from behind the door. A woman dressed in a red cheongsam lightly waved the fan in her hand as she greeted everyone.

The shop wasn’t filled with an array of dazzling products like other souvenir stores, yet even so, the projections occupied a large portion of the shop’s space.

Most of these projections showcase the various effects of exotic crystals, and as Feng Yuan guessed, the changes in ultimate moves caused by these exotic crystals aren’t entirely based on aesthetics or fun.

Regardless of the type, they generally integrate features of Hot Springs Town, just like Xiao Ji’s often used Netherworld Wind, which in this projection has several forms.

From transforming into carrying various Hot Springs Town sweets to promotional photos, and according to the description, you can even imprint your exclusive mark on these things.

For instance, when blowing out Hot Springs Town sweets, you can add a cartoon avatar of Xiao Ji on it, and the promotional photo can be altered to become a group photo from Hot Springs Town.

"Seems like it’s pretty good, Xiao Ji, what do you think?"

Seeing these projections, Feng Yuan was somewhat tempted. Although the price wasn’t cheap, feng Yuan could afford it, and as for the souvenir value, it’s naturally high since they can bear the mark of Xiao Ji.

Moreover, exotic crystals are among the few items that can integrate within Spirit Beasts to take effect, meaning that Xiao Ji doesn’t have to worry about damaging it in battle even while carrying it.

As for the effect of changing the appearance of ultimate moves, Feng Yuan didn’t care much. This thing is essentially a skin; the people who dislike it do so because the change in visual effects makes it difficult for them to accurately judge and control the ultimate move changes.

However, whether it’s Xiao Ji or the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound, their ultimate moves are mostly the kind that is done once activated, and the meticulous control and changes afterwards don’t concern them.

Therefore, Feng Yuan finds this rather suitable, and as a souvenir, it’s qualified, plus it can always be used, so there’s no worry about having nowhere to place it.

Seeing Feng Yuan’s interest, Qi Chen and the others certainly wouldn’t say to look elsewhere; the girl also slightly relaxed as at least she managed to help the tourist ~

Hugging the Witch Baby, the girl curiously observed Feng Yuan picking out souvenirs. The cheongsam sister, using one hand to fan herself while looking at the girl, clearly knew the other party, but she didn’t quite understand what she was up to.

Enhancing the tourist experience again?

Forget it, as long as she’s happy. Truth be told, if not for the idea of adding features to Hot Springs Town, she wouldn’t have returned here to start a shop.

Even exotic crystals aren’t something just anyone can intricately customize and alter the details.

"I think maybe it’s still this, after all, the snack style fits you quite well."

Picking and choosing, Feng Yuan said to Xiao Ji. Xiao Ji glanced at Feng Yuan, dissatisfied, and called out a few times, clearly upset with Feng Yuan’s statement.

Calling out a few times to Feng Yuan, Xiao Ji wanted to prove that he was not a foodie. Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan silently and said

"Xiao Ji really doesn’t have much obsession with food. The one who does should be you."

"Hehe~ But don’t you think the snack style is more suitable?"

"How about the scenery?"

Shaking his head slightly, Qi Chen asked tentatively. Since the change is based on Hot Springs Town’s features, there naturally exists exotic crystals that directly change ultimate moves into scenery.

However, such changes have severe limitations. Even for the cheongsam sister, it’s hard to manage well, and she’s not particularly satisfied with it, hence the scenery type has the lowest price.

"Not really suitable, Xiao Ji’s ultimate moves rarely have entities, even the energy types covering areas are fleeting, unusable."

Shaking his head, Feng Yuan said a bit regretfully, although the scenery style is the most exquisite, unfortunately, it doesn’t fit most ultimate moves. Entity types aren’t entirely absent, but... can the effect of exotic crystals cover Crimson Judgement, Feng Yuan’s really unsure.

As for ultimate moves like Netherworld Wind, they are powerless because these moves inherently have no fixed form. Even if the effect creates a mirage-like scene, it would fail due to the change in ultimate move form.

"Seems like that’s the case."

Qi Chen paused for a moment, having to admit that Feng Yuan’s words were right. That thing would serve Ah Mu better than Xiao Ji, given Ah Mu has plenty of entity ultimate moves.

Adding decorations to snacks and the like on the existing ultimate move is simpler, as most ultimate moves can easily accommodate decorations, as long as there’s no thought of completely changing the ultimate move style.

Precisely for this reason, effective ultimate moves with a scenery style are the rarest. There’s no choice—trying to make ultimate moves transform into the scenery of Hot Springs Town, the cheongsam sister lost a substantial amount of hair, and even then, many ultimate moves weren’t suitable for the scenery style.

"Don’t like it, then how about scenery postcards? This seems less interesting, although the postcard appearance would change, ultimately, it’s still just a piece of paper."

Seeing Xiao Ji dissatisfied, Feng Yuan could only look at something else, Veronia noticed one of the projections and said

"Why not check this out? The dreamlike style seems quite alright."
