Divine Beast Creator

Chapter 2383 - 2384: "Snow Disaster

As Feng Yuan puzzled over the situation, Uncle Man took out his phone and glanced at a message before cursing.

"Those bastards just think of things on a whim, never considering the trouble they cause us!"

Seeing Feng Yuan’s questioning look, Uncle Man helplessly explained that the message was related to the energy changes outside.

"Hot Springs Town snowstorm experience? They probably haven’t tested this out, have they?"

Understanding what was happening, Feng Yuan was instead taken aback. Wasn’t Hot Springs Town always playing it safe? Why suddenly take such a radical step to stage untested performances or environmental experiences?

Even if the snowstorm weather is completely controlled, the issues it might cause won’t necessarily align with the intentions of Hot Springs Town’s administrators.

The message Uncle Man received requested him to inform the tourists at Deepwater Cave that Hot Springs Town would hold a special snowstorm environment experience. Tourists whose strengths aren’t up to par or whose Beast Taming skills aren’t adept at handling impacts brought by snowstorm weather can choose to return to town now, or seek help from lifeguards at the lifeguard huts.

Even though Deepwater Cave is right in Hot Springs Town, and located at its edge, such arrangements were still made, giving Feng Yuan some relief, proving they hadn’t acted too recklessly.

It’s not just Deepwater Cave, but Hot Springs Town itself; besides the stores on the main street with no special transport staff arrangements, all other areas arranged staff to transport and safeguard visitors, even when it seemed entirely unnecessary.

Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan swam over to Feng Yuan to ask his opinion, mainly because Uncle Man’s announcement was quite special, leaving Deepwater Cave means someone responsible will take them back to the town’s main street, had something happened?

"Hot Springs Town is too cautious here. Actually, even if it’s a snowstorm, Deepwater Cave is on the town’s edge, almost nothing will happen; they are doing this just to prepare for that little chance of an accident."

Feng Yuan knew what Qi Chen and they were worried about, he could only helplessly explain. Knowing Hot Springs Town planned to change the weather to a snowstorm left both of them speechless.

One might call them aggressive, but their protective measures were already quite cautious; yet despite claiming caution...they had never tried this special snow-covered Hot Springs Town environment before.

Though not a blizzard, the snow-covered Hot Springs Town would still lead to traffic disruption. Of course, Feng Yuan and co. trusted Hot Springs Town to have taken preventive measures, since it’s a man-made snowstorm after all, avoiding the paths in and out of Hot Springs Town shouldn’t be a problem.

However, despite this, a snowstorm will still inconvenience tourists to some extent. At least in their view, the improvement of the environment’s ambiance is limited, while seriously affecting their enjoyment.

But for Feng Yuan and his group, it was no bother, so they didn’t change their original plans because of this.

Leaning against the pool, Feng Yuan and his friends slowly enjoyed the sweet treats and drinks delivered, when seemingly out of nowhere, snowflakes pierced through the white mist and melted into the hot spring water.

"Has it started?"

Feng Yuan, somewhat surprised, turned to look towards the cave entrance, realizing that at some point, the white mist had gradually thinned. Though Deepwater Cave was deep, its massive entrance couldn’t stop snowflakes from outside falling into the hot spring pool.

Even due to the snowfall, the temperature inside Deepwater Cave inevitably decreased a bit, because this snowstorm wasn’t naturally formed but had specific peculiarities.

Otherwise, given Deepwater Cave’s depth, it could generally ensure warmth in winter and coolness in summer, with no temperature drops caused by weather.

"They’re really playing it big."

Feeling the environment’s temperature drop by less than half a degree, Feng Yuan muttered, concluding outside temperatures must have fallen by about two degrees.

Of course, how much it would cool down precisely depended on how they controlled that energy, but Feng Yuan estimated Hot Springs Town wouldn’t let the temperature drop too much; otherwise, it would be less about ambiance and more about mischief.

"They won’t blow it, will they?"

Qi Chen said with some concern, although he wasn’t very knowledgeable about these things, his intuition told him that Hot Springs Town was going all out this time.

"They shouldn’t, they at least have preparations in place, but whether accidents happen is hard to say; yet even if they do, they should have response plans."

Shaking his head, Feng Yuan swirled the small wine cup in his hand, though none had ordered alcohol, just various drinks. Using the small ancient styled wine cup gave Feng Yuan a subtle feeling.

Soon, heavy snow covered outside Deepwater Cave, flakes even lay a white carpet on the zigzagging stairs.

The snowstorm quickly caught everyone’s attention; after all, they hadn’t quite seen such a scene before.

Gazing at the drifting snow, Feng Yuan remarked

"Looks rather interesting, huh~"

The rare snow scene intrigued Feng Yuan, yet soon enough, their focus shifted back to the food.

After playing in Deepwater Cave for quite a while, Feng Yuan and the others finally got up and returned to the shore. As for the next plan? Naturally, it was to return to Hot Springs Town for some shopping, as staying in water continually wasn’t exactly fun.

Outside Deepwater Cave, heavy snow had already covered most areas, except for paths and town facilities which were diligently kept only thinly coated.

On either side of paths, snow piled almost half as high as a person caught Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan’s interest. Though the snow in the Northern Snow Plain might be more impressive, neither had visited there much.

After all, extreme weather often occurs in the Northern Snow Plain, making self-preservation challenging there without being a Beastmaster.

Even Qi Chen’s parents dared not take Qi Chen and Qi Xiaoshuang there casually, lest they fail to care properly and something happens,

As for Dou Yanlan, it was about lacking time and money.

Before that man came back, Dou Yanlan’s familial finances weren’t great. If Dou Yanlan hadn’t been so thoughtful and found ways since childhood to ease her mother’s burden, life could’ve been worse.

"Really quite special, what’s Hot Springs Town doing this for?"

Gazing at the incessant snow, Dou Yanlan was full of confusion. Though the snowstorm was silently peaceful, its influence was rather significant, even altering Hot Springs Town’s environment to an extent.

Of course, since it was man-made, it hardly caused major damage, but assessing this snowfall’s impact wasn’t straightforward.

The whole blizzard seemed intent on burying Hot Springs Town, and while walking around, Feng Yuan and companions noted deep snow outside the town, with many people seeing such a heavy snow for the first time.

Although Great Xia doesn’t rely solely on the Northern Snow Plain to have snowfall, in modern times, Spirit Beast and technological interventions make catastrophic weather hard to manifest; most often, such disasters are predicted and forcibly curtailed early on.

"This isn’t merely a snowstorm but a snow disaster."

Shaking his head, Feng Yuan was oblivious to Hot Springs Town’s motives here, yet looking at the increased number of people taking photos on the streets seemed to suggest there wasn’t much issue.

Snow disasters today barely cause significant damage; even if not swiftly intervened, ongoing snowfalls struggle to truly impact human life, merely adding some inconvenience.

The existence of Spirit Beasts has long minimized the impact and damage natural disasters can cause.

The main concern is whether these calamities might incite public panic; though judging by this situation, it’s unlikely, which is expected since this chaos was Hot Springs Town’s doing. Not to mention most tourists have Beast Taming protections; even without, they wouldn’t fear such artificially simulated weather.

Thus, the fearsome snowfall to tourists is merely a spectacle, far from inducing true fear.

Certainly, to prevent buildings collapsing under snow, Hot Springs Town staff would probably be quite busy these two days.

Indeed, according to plan, this snowstorm would last two days. The reason naturally ties back to remedial actions.

The unrest from the red shadow incident couldn’t completely subside until Feng Yuan orchestrated an impressive spectacle at Bipton Pool, offering a temporary fix to headache-inducing Hot Springs Town administrators.

The solution entailed creating unprecedented special scenes to divert tourists’ attention; as long as people’s focus shifted away from the red shadow incident, it would naturally be suppressed quickly.

As for whether the red shadow incident might repeat?

If they hadn’t neglected it initially, this accident wouldn’t have happened; this time, they’d surely prevent that fellow from causing mischief again!
