Sky Surfing is extrely unfriendly to the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound, but it has no choice but to follow Feng Yuan and the others. And Xiao Ji? Although it doesn’t really like getting wet, it’s not completely unwilling.
Xiao Ji was sowhat curious, though: Sky Surfing, could it be conducted in the air domain?
To everyone’s surprise, Sky Surfing indeed takes place in the air domain, but its format is sowhat different.
Sky Surfing involves a track that spirals continuously in the air. In the real world, the track is purely made of water, but at the registration point, one can choose from a more diverse range of track types in the Data Domain.
From energy bodies to streams of other elents, the range of choices is extrely broad. However, compared to Sky Surfing in the Data Domain, Feng Yuan is actually more interested in the real-world Sky Surfing.
"I plan to play here first and then try it in the Data Domain. What about you?"
Looking at Qi Chen and the others, Feng Yuan spoke up, Xiao Ji flapped its wings and squawked at Feng Yuan. It would rather be with Feng Yuan instead of waiting here, as for the splattering water issue, it can endure!
Feng Yuan chuckled and patted Xiao Ji on the head, saying,
"Then you’ll join later."
"Are you going to wait for us here?"
Feng Yuan wasn’t planning on taking the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound along; its situation differs from Xiao Ji’s, as water really affects it, plus suitable events exist for it in the Data Domain.
Hesitating a little, the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound wagged its tail and nodded. Although it wanted to act with Feng Yuan, real-world Sky Surfing simply doesn’t suit it.
Qi Chen and the others were not as concerned. Dou Yanlan’s Spirit Beast might still dislike water, but Qi Chen’s does the exact opposite.
Whether Ah Mu or the Hao Chun Bird, their attributes make them enjoy playing in water.
Don’t be misled by the fact that Hao Chun Bird is a bird Spirit Beast; its Wood Attribute ans it doesn’t abhor water at all, instead it joyfully sings in the rain.
At the starting point of Sky Surfing, special personnel conduct skill checks on each participant. After all, it’s an entertainnt activity with a certain degree of risk, and without a certain level of skill, there’s the possibility of accidents despite having appropriate safety asures.
The starting point is located in the sky, screening out people with a fear of heights when entering the aerial platform. Notably, Beastmasters usually aren’t afraid of heights.
"Not bad skill, go ahead. If sothing happens, have your Beastmaster grab you, though injuries might occur... alas, I worry too much."
After assessing the connection between Feng Yuan and Xiao Ji, the inspector intended to offer a reminder, but upon seeing the wings expanding from Feng Yuan’s back, they laughed helplessly.
Although Feng Yuan hasn’t demonstrated if those wings can indeed fly, this very act indicates he can fly by himself.
"Hehe, it’s nothing, so people behind can’t fly~"
Glancing back at Qi Chen, Feng Yuan remarked mischievously, Qi Chen glanced at him without appearing pleased and said,
"Ah Mu can use Mad Forest to catch us mid-air, not to ntion that Hao Chun Bird could open Forest Domain with Spring Wind."
"Tch! Didn’t expect that you’ve got quite a few tricks up your sleeve now."
Upon hearing Qi Chen, Feng Yuan realized that Qi Chen isn’t scared of unexpected falls from high altitude either.
The staff mber didn’t bother reminding Qi Chen of ergency asures, nor Dou Yanlan who rely received simple instructions.
Since they’re together, Feng Yuan’s omission of Dou Yanlan’s situation signifies she surely has corresponding asures.
Looking up at the aerial river which appears slender as a satin from below, though on close approach, everyone discovered it’s quite expansive.
"There’s the power of Spirit Beasts involved, understandably so, as re technology couldn’t sustain such a colossal river."
Astonished at the vast river surface, Feng Yuan remarked; beyond sustaining the river, Spirit Beasts also maneuver water flows to push the surfboards forward.
Of course, such a broad river surface makes it easy for Ah Mu to join in. The specially designed surfboards even have sizes suitable for Spirit Beasts larger than Ah Mu.
Standing on the surfboard, Feng Yuan asked Xiao Ji next to him,
"Are you ready?"
Nodding towards Feng Yuan, Xiao Ji nervously maintained balance as the surfboard, controlled by Spirit Beast’s Telekinesis, remained relatively stable. Getting the signal that Feng Yuan and the others were ready, a massive wave suddenly appeared under the surfboard, lifting them up.
The Telekinesis control was released, propelling Feng Yuan and the others rapidly forward with the gigantic wave, wind hollering by ears, and Feng Yuan amusingly played tricks.
Occasionally approaching as if about to crash into Xiao Ji then swiftly pulls away; sotis he uses his flying ability to forcibly move to other areas or hover ahead waiting for the giant wave.
Qi Chen and the others didn’t have as many tricks; they weren’t quite familiar with this, although, due to being Beastmasters, they could enjoy surfing well even without much practice, but doing tricks? That wasn’t possible.
Of course, Cotton is an exception; albeit not fond of getting wet, it still played excellently on the surfboard; after all, using Nether Cross is sowhat similar to this.
Veronia is the most unique; transforming into human form, elegantly standing on the surfboard with a parasol, occasionally waving a hand to lift herself along with the surfboard faster than the massive wave using crystalline waves.
Sotis, it would circle around Crystalline Dragon, forcibly staying in place, while Crystalline Dragon shattered the wave carrying the surfboard yet failed to wet Veronia’s hem.
Agunas and Tamur didn’t participate in this ga; Agunas was disinterested, while Tamur felt unsuitable and lacked interest.
Compared to Agunas, Tamur doesn’t have a human form, or rather, it hasn’t chosen a human form itself.
It doesn’t want to compel itself to do so for just a ga.
Although Sky Surfing isn’t short in distance, due to the speed, everyone quickly arrived at the finish line, with Feng Yuan still sowhat feeling like he hadn’t had enough.
"Quite fun~ Later, let’s include the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound and go to the Data Domain to play again~"
Even though Feng Yuan can fly himself, compared to Sky Surfing, it’s a different sensation; although Sky Surfing happens in the air, it feels different from flying.
The Fluffy Fire Wolfhound approached Feng Yuan eagerly barking a few tis; though the journey wasn’t long, the interim checks consud substantial ti, making the waiting Fluffy Fire Wolfhound sowhat impatient.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, let’s go, play in the Data Domain, um, it’s a separate area again."
Seeing the queue and the Data Lineage Spirit Beasts responsible for transferring people, Feng Yuan murmured quietly. Although there’s a fixed door at the Data Square that enables direct access to the Data City, these separate areas still require Spirit Beast assistance to open the entrance.
Of course, Feng Yuan suspected the intent might be controlling visitors’ numbers, as this likely belongs under the Data City domain; they could’ve opened a corresponding entrance in the Data City with their access, wouldn’t need this arrangent here.
This must allow for dynamic adjustnt of visitor numbers internally, otherwise, they could set a limit for automatic managent in the Data Domain.
"Odd, the Data Domain’s space should be substantial, why does this place only open specific areas each ti?"
Veronia glanced at the introduction sign with curiosity. The Maze of Mirror could be argued as having certain areas open each ti due to excessive playti if fully opened.
But Sky Surfing clearly isn’t such; this can’t be too lengthy, as the estimated playti indicated here affirms it.
Playing once, comparable to the real-world Sky Surfing in terms of duration.
"Unknown, perhaps to encourage visitors to co to the Data Square more frequently?"
Scratching his head, Feng Yuan also didn’t know why it’s set up like this. As the Sky Surfing description states that the area opens would change daily, each day’s open area would be announced on the relevant webpage.
Feng Yuan suspected they might be trying to entice visitors to co daily, but why?
Data Square shouldn’t have a need for foot traffic, right?
Unable to figure it out, Feng Yuan didn’t bother contemplating too much; conveniently, fire-elent Sky Surfing is available today, so Feng Yuan picked it without hesitation.
But before queuing up, Feng Yuan did check with Qi Chen, given that the fire elent isn’t very friendly to his beasts.
Qi Chen didn’t mind; neither Ah Mu nor Hao Chun Bird is particularly afraid of flas, and with real damage not occurring in Data Domain.
Seeing Qi Chen wasn’t opposed, Feng Yuan pulled everyone to queue up ready for entry.
