Chapter 2357 - 2358: Finalizing the Destination
Chapter 2357 - 2358: Finalizing the Destination
After dinner, Feng Yuan returned to his room to review the information Qi Chen sent. Since it’s close to the end of the year, Feng Yuan decided to ask the others’ opinions to see if it would affect their plans.
Feng Yuan: "The stuff in the surrounding cities seems pretty similar to Maomu City. What do you all think? (Ming Mountain Villa promotional image)"
Qi Chen: "As long as you think it’s suitable."
Dou Yanlan: "We don’t mind, but Ming Mountain Villa’s main selling point is an immersive experience service focused on Ghost Series estates, the biggest issue..."
After seeing Dou Yanlan’s message, Feng Yuan immediately realized that if Xiao Ji doesn’t like it, it wouldn’t work, especially considering Ghost Series Spirit Beasts are difficult for Xiao Ji to deal with, and even more so now with Xiao Ji’s Divine Beast aura.
"Xiao Ji, what do you think of Ming Mountain Villa?"
Feng Yuan brought up the information on Ming Mountain Villa and asked Xiao Ji, but the answer wasn’t very favorable. Perhaps it’s due to the dislike triggered by the Ghost Series Spirit Beasts encountered in the Maze of Mirror; in any case, Xiao Ji doesn’t quite like the place.
Seeing Xiao Ji’s opposition, Feng Yuan could only look for another place; otherwise, he couldn’t blame Xiao Ji for being disobedient.
"Hot Springs Town? This thing seems a bit peculiar."
Veronia noticed a specific term and said curiously. Feng Yuan had already passed by the information on Hot Springs Town but brought it back up upon hearing this and said:
"There doesn’t seem to be any issue. In the Baiman City area, there are abundant Fire Attribute mineral veins, and Hot Springs Town is at a convergence point, so it seems to be naturally formed, without any problems."
Perhaps due to encountering various chaotic situations, Feng Yuan first paid attention to whether there’s any problem, but after checking the information, Feng Yuan judged it to be naturally formed without danger.
"I didn’t say there was a problem. In winter, hot springs should be nice."
Veronia glanced at Feng Yuan and said, then Feng Yuan shook his head and said:
"Not too great, as the average winter temperature in Baiman City is several degrees higher than Maomu City."
Maomu City’s winters rarely see snow, not to mention Baiman City. Without snow, hot springs don’t quite meet Feng Yuan’s expectations.
"It seems like there’s mention of artificial snow, so it’s worth considering."
Veronia looked at Feng Yuan and said, and after thinking it over, Feng Yuan didn’t refuse. If they’ve considered the environment and atmosphere issues, it’s worth considering.
"Let’s look further."
Although he felt intrigued, Feng Yuan didn’t immediately decide. Anyway, Qi Chen had gathered so much information, it would take time to go through it all.
"How about this one? Blizzard Mountain Villa, also an immersive experience."
Veronia pointed at an image of a mansion standing atop a cliff with a blizzard background and asked. After glancing at the promotional image, Feng Yuan muttered:
"Let’s forget about this one; a place like this is bound to have issues."
Even though it’s advertised as experiencing an ancient manor during a blizzard, given the title and environment, Feng Yuan couldn’t believe something wouldn’t go wrong. Although there’s no mention of this in the promotion, Feng Yuan couldn’t help thinking along these lines.
In this world, there are detective novels, but scenes like Blizzard Mountain Villa rarely appear, as the presence of Spirit Beasts inherently negates the unique seclusion of such settings.
As a result, not even Veronia or Agunas understood why Feng Yuan would say this.
"Since you don’t like it, let’s keep looking."
Seeing Feng Yuan didn’t explain, Veronia didn’t dwell on the topic and quickly moved on to other promotional images. Although Qi Chen gathered quite a bit of activity information on the surroundings, the lack of distinction from Maomu City meant there were few tourist spots left after a quick selection.
Feng Yuan: "How about these places?"
Qi Chen: "Not bad, but... don’t make the schedule too tight."
Dou Yanlan: "Hot Springs Town? It’s quite well-developed, but..."
Feng Yuan: "Is there a problem?"
Dou Yanlan: "The hot springs at Hot Springs Town aren’t ordinary geothermal springs. I’m not sure how they’d compare to Tea Wood Town’s springs. Atmosphere-wise, Hot Springs Town might be better, but considering Tea Wood Town’s springs were recently built, perhaps in terms of service and convenience, Tea Wood Town might be better."
"Hmm, comparing Tea Wood Town’s springs doesn’t seem like a big issue."
Rubbing his chin, Feng Yuan muttered. Tea Wood Town’s springs only exist in the Red Tribe, which has undergone development, but it was something Yognot himself tinkered with. Though the environment and atmosphere aren’t top-notch, the effect and comfort of the springs are quite good.
The atmosphere is an inherent weakness, which is unavoidable. Due to Yognot’s presence in the Tea Wood Town Area, it hardly ever snows, let alone their Beast Taming focused on Fire Attribute, making artificial snow difficult.
Hot Springs Town, however, holds an advantage in atmosphere, but as its springs are due to the abundant Fire Attribute energy mineral veins underground, the effect might not surpass Tea Wood Town.
Of course, strictly speaking, both have their pros and cons and distinctive features. It’s because of this that Feng Yuan ultimately included it in the travel plan.
Regarding the other remaining places, Feng Yuan considered them to be average. He had thought about what Qi Chen said, that if the schedule is too packed, it would be troublesome to adjust plans in case of unexpected events.
Thinking this way, Feng Yuan eventually chose a few spots and confirmed with Qi Chen them having no objections before finalizing it.
"Hot Springs Town also has some interesting foods, seems like we could consider going there first. That way, if something happens, it won’t affect the travel experience."
After carefully reviewing Hot Springs Town’s information again, Feng Yuan mentioned that previously he hadn’t paid much attention to Hot Springs Town’s specialty snacks and products.
These aren’t solely because of the hot springs; they are more related to the Spirit Beasts there.
From Feng Yuan’s perspective, this adds a unique touch, although he isn’t entirely sure; it could just be gimmicks, and the actual taste of the food and products might be lackluster.
"Looks like this place pleases you."
Veronia glanced at Feng Yuan, indicating that his reaction seemed off. He appeared increasingly interested in Hot Springs Town, something they previously didn’t care much about, which raised concerns.
With Feng Yuan’s attention, unforeseen incidents might occur, given the recent abundance of chaotic situations.
Of course, Veronia didn’t hold Feng Yuan responsible, as neither the Parallel World nor Kashantos Holy Mountain was directly related to Feng Yuan, although Feng Yuan had the capability to spot them before they fully manifested.
Could Hot Springs Town face a similar scenario?
Veronia secretly wondered about Hot Springs Town. To Veronia, whether it’s good or bad doesn’t pose any major issues.
"It’s alright. Despite specialty snacks, whether it’s good is still uncertain, but compared to other places, there might be a slight edge."
Feng Yuan said while continuing to check detailed information. He was surprised Qi Chen and the others collected such detailed tourism information, making it easy for Feng Yuan to determine if a place is worth visiting.
"Let’s leave it at that."
After confirming again with Qi Chen and the others, Feng Yuan finally finalized the upcoming travel itinerary, although intentionally leaving plenty of spare time prevented an immediate departure.
Hot Springs Town is the first stop of this journey and a place that Feng Yuan himself finds interesting. Beyond food, there’s also the Spirit Beasts there, which, compared to Tea Wood Town, Hot Springs Town has invested in Spirit Beasts, and in Feng Yuan’s view, those unique Spirit Beast services are quite fascinating.
"Hot Springs Town... feels like there might be some little incidents."
Veronia chuckled lightly, glancing at Agunas without further explanation, swishing her tail, and Agunas ignored her.
