"Didn’t you check the itinerary? Just a cruise wouldn’t attract so much interest; it’s mainly about experiencing those special islands that aren’t open to the public, starting from Fairy Tale Island. There are a total of three different special islands."
Zhou Weijun looked at Feng Yuan in astonishment; he really didn’t expect him to not know about this. Scratching his head, Feng Yuan chuckled and said,
"I just saw it was free to play, and having never been there, I came. I didn’t pay attention to their itinerary because usually, aren’t they all quite similar?"
"If you put it like that, it’s true. Apart from the three islands being special, it isn’t much different from a regular short-term cruise."
With Feng Yuan’s words, Zhou Weijun didn’t quite know how else to put it. Aside from being peculiar, those three islands are indeed not that different, given it’s just a two-day, one-night trip. How special can it be?
"Fairy Tale Island, it wouldn’t be transformed into a place like a fairy tale world, would it? According to your statement, perhaps there’s even a Cookie House or something?"
Since he hadn’t seen the detailed itinerary, Feng Yuan didn’t know the situation of Fairy Tale Island and could only ask Zhou Weijun, who nodded and said,
"Pretty much, according to the plan, we’ll stay on Fairy Tale Island for half a day. It seems we’ll spend the night on Jade Island."
"I haven’t been to Fairy Tale Island either, only heard it was designed and built based on fairy tales. Desserts are the island’s specialty."
"To be honest, places like this should be visited by those with kids. We really can’t appreciate that kind of thing."
Zhou Weijun laughed, unlike Feng Yuan; he had already chatted with the other guests on the ship and knew the general situation, which is why he sighed.
Because there are actually no children on board right now, not even many married couples, going to Fairy Tale Island seems somewhat wasteful given that it really doesn’t appeal to them.
"Jade Island? Wait, there are such strange islands on the Mao Mu River?"
Feng Yuan paused, puzzled. The other party chuckled and said,
"Of course, they’re all parts of Qianqiu Tourism Group’s extraordinary journey destinations. Our Maomu City only has five islands, while Chengjiang City downstream has more, including two tributaries, totaling thirteen islands."
"However, this magical journey seems to adopt an invitation system, so not many outsiders know about it."
Even Zhou Weijun only learned about these things this time, as he hadn’t been within their invitation scope before, not even this time.
If it wasn’t for Maomu City’s official invitation, he wouldn’t have the chance to experience these three islands.
"Cooperation? But what’s this weird invitation system? Oh well, since that’s the case, let’s not eat so much."
Seeing that the other party didn’t seem to have an answer, Feng Yuan didn’t push further but instead spoke. As for this magical journey? What about using an invitation system? If Feng Yuan is interested, it may not be impossible for the other party to organize a special trip just for him.
Given his contributions to Great Xia, Qianqiu Tourism is a regular enterprise, and Great Xia can’t really demand anything from them.
After all, the good favor of a Divine Beast is certainly worth initiating a magical journey for them.
Of course, as Feng Yuan hasn’t seen Fairy Tale Island and Jade Island yet, he doesn’t know what this so-called magical journey is all about.
"Two tributaries? Surely the magical journey can’t be completed in a short time; do their invited guests have that much free time?"
Veronia seemed a bit puzzled; Maomu City and Chengjiang City alone have at least eighteen special islands, and she believes there must be some upstream and even further downstream.
Calculating just like that, it requires a lot of time to visit all of them, unless the trip won’t cover all the islands at once.
However, since the other party uses an invitation system, it’s hard not to suspect the entire magical journey aims to tour the entire island groups.
"Not really, I heard that the magical journey happens once a month, each trip lasting for half a month, only taking one route at a time. But that was before the war; now, I don’t know the current situation as I’m still far from meeting their invitation criteria."
Zhou Weijun said somewhat sheepishly, despite being considered a high-ranking person in Maomu City, it’s still about comparing apples to oranges regarding Qianqiu Tourism, as Maomu City itself isn’t exactly a large city.
"It sounds quite interesting, but... who knows what it’s really like."
Feng Yuan chuckled, not bothered by the matter; if he truly wants a spot, it’s not unattainable; it just depends on whether it’s necessary.
As the two chatted, other passing guests joined in. Though no one was very familiar, everyone was quite cheerful chatting due to individual strengths and positions.
Particularly concerning the future development of Maomu City, they were very invested, and Feng Yuan was even more knowledgeable.
As he has good relations with Drudgeon and others and has already spoken with people like He Nanqing, he naturally knows a lot more information Zhou Weijun and others don’t, and he can make more accurate and rational predictions.
It’s inevitable because the development plans for both Maomu City and Cha Mu Town Area weren’t made overnight, and even the recent strong tourism town plan implemented in Cha Mu Town is based on earlier enhanced tourism plans.
Although Feng Yuan doesn’t know the exact plans, he knows the general direction. Plus, he understands lots of confidential information like the Qi Realm and other miscellaneous stuff. So, as the conversation progressed, all the guests aboard gathered to listen to Feng Yuan ramble.
Thus, the ship slowly sailed to Fairy Tale Island, and as the horn sounded, everyone finally realized they’ve unknowingly arrived at the first island, Fairy Tale Island.
"How fascinating these plants are! They’re not artificially synthesized twisted life forms; they’re truly impressive."
Examining those plants that seemed straight out of fairy tales, Veronia exclaimed, as artificially synthesized plants have always existed. However, Spirit Beasts don’t like these plants because they’re artificially altered plant appearances formed as non-natural existences.
Spirit Beasts can see or say feel the essence of souls. Artificially synthesized plants have distorted, chaotic, and violent souls, making them hard to be favored.
Yet the plants on this island don’t have such attributes.
"Guided by the power of Spirit Beasts for transformation, but to accomplish this, they must have put in great effort."
The ability of Spirit Beasts is indeed magical, but not so straightforward or simple; at least, transforming ordinary plants into fairy tale plants isn’t easy.
"Meaningless waste."
Agunas flicked its tail, and Veronia glanced at Agunas without much patience, saying,
"What? Do you think this is worse than those artificially modified plants?"
"Not really, just relatively speaking..."
"Oh please, don’t act like Starlotte hasn’t done similar things, yet when they do it themselves, it’s justified, but when others do it, it’s wasteful?"
Upon Veronia’s words, Agunas flicked its tail, not continuing the argument. In the Mythical Era, they indeed did similar things, so it seems it’s really not in a position to say such.
"Alright, there’s nothing to argue about, surely Qianqiu Group wouldn’t waste money for nothing; there must be benefits to doing this. Anyway, it doesn’t affect nature, so there’s nothing much to discuss, right?"
Noticing the signs of Agunas and Veronia starting an argument, Feng Yuan swiftly interjected. No matter the intentions behind Qianqiu Group’s efforts with these islands, at least from a Divine Beast’s perspective, there aren’t any major issues.
As for wasting money? This doesn’t concern them, and as Feng Yuan pointed out, Qianqiu Tourism isn’t a small enterprise; if they dare to do this, they surely have means to profit elsewhere. There’s no need for them to worry about rich people’s concerns.
The ship docked at Fairy Tale Island’s port, quite mismatched with the cartoon-like dock compared to Feng Yuan’s group and the cruise ship.
But there’s not much choice; apart from a part of the Spirit Beasts, even Agunas and the others can’t easily make themselves appear cartoon-like.
"Looks rather fun, just not sure about the inside."
Lush plants blocked everyone’s view, making Feng Yuan unable to tell how the interior of Fairy Tale Island was. However, judging by the care put outside, it should be decent inside, right?
"Cake Bird? They can even bring in this type of Spirit Beast?"
At this moment, Veronia noticed the activity of several small bird Spirit Beasts at the dock and said in surprise.
