Chapter 285: Castle Music, No Thoughts of the Sage Mountain!

"Chosen Children, after resting for a night, I believe both you and your partner Digimon have recovered your spirits."

"Then, it is time to begin your work as providers of evolution data. Please follow the guiding Digimon to the data extraction room and prepare for today's first evolution."

In the early morning, Mimi, sleeping on a soft big bed, was awakened by the broadcast set up within the castle and the Champion Digimon knocking on the door, waking up a group of Chosen Children who had just woken up and their partner Digimon.

Without giving them breakfast, they took a group of people into a room for collecting data.

"Please begin your evolution."

The Cactusmon that Palmon evolved into said.

"What should we do?"

Mimi asked.

"The situation is stronger than us; we should do as they say for now."

Sora said, Hikari agreed, and Takeru could not find words to oppose.

The light of evolution shone within the metal room, and they evolved together into Champion Digimon.

The Cactusmon that Palmon evolved into distributed Second Generation Data Absorption Devices with Dark Link Cables to the partner Digimon, and a group of Champion Digimon, in the process of having their evolution data forcibly extracted, devolved back into Child Digimon.

And this process was completely recorded by the surveillance cameras set up in the room; on the screen in front of Molemon within the Inverted Pyramid not far from the castle, a large amount of data code began to appear.

"King Gluttonmon, the Second Generation Data Absorption Device with Dark Link Cable has increased the efficiency of absorbing evolution data by 31% compared to before. As long as we keep the Chosen Children on our Data Absorption Factory side, we will be able to continuously obtain evolution data of Vaccine and Data species."

"Keeping people here definitely won't work; Angewomon won't agree. However, delaying the time for them to leave the castle is possible, but that depends on your ability."

"Understood."

Molemon nodded, operated on the keyboard for a while, and then pressed the confirmation button.

On the Data Factory side, a sudden rumbling sound was emitted.

"What's going on?"

The Chosen Children whose evolution data had just been extracted by their partner Digimon became somewhat panicked, but the Cactusmon that Palmon evolved into explained a sentence to them.

"This is the Mobile Module of the Data Absorption Factory being activated; now the entire castle is moving."

Leaving the metal room and looking out the window, one could see two huge tank tread marks left on the desert, and the entire castle was traveling toward the other side, not very fast, but not slow either.

And a castle that can move will undoubtedly bring great trouble to Tai Yi and Yamato Matt, who are hurrying this way.

"I'm hungry, Cactusmon, is there anything to eat?"

Gomamon touched its belly and asked the Cactusmon beside it.

"Yes, there is breakfast prepared for you on the cafeteria side."

The Cactusmon that Palmon evolved into nodded and began telling the group of Chosen Children and their Digimon about their lifestyle in this castle from now on.

"Every day we need to extract a certain amount of your evolution data; the specific number of extractions depends on your physical condition."

"As long as you are willing to cooperate with us, you will be able to get everything needed for life within the castle, including but not limited to delicious food, fun game consoles, good-looking clothes, and so on."

"Cactusmon, I want to ask a question."

"What question?"

Cactusmon looked at Joe Kido who was asking.

"Will we not be in danger of losing our lives?"

Joe Kido asked.

"Why do you think you are in danger? You are precious producers of evolution data; our King values you very much."

Cactusmon left, leaving a group of Chosen Children and their Digimon looking at each other.

"This seems somewhat different from what I thought."

Mimi muttered.

"Yes, when I first saw LadyDevimon, she still wanted to kill Takeru and Patamon, but now we have all been caught by her, yet besides extracting the evolution data of Gomamon and others, and arranging me to take care of some Baby Digimon, it seems they haven't done anything else excessive to us."

Sora also said.

"Uh, I was locked in a library reading books."

"There was a Flymon asking me addition and subtraction problems."

"Gekomon performed for me and Patamon."

"Hey, how come you all have things to do, and I'm just staying in a pink room doing nothing?"

The Chosen Children who were captured spoke of their experiences coming here, and found that things were completely different from the capture situation they had imagined.

"The feeling of having data extracted is very tiring."

On the contrary, their partner Digimon had different opinions; Kabuterimon said directly.

"That feeling is like running a very long marathon."

Gomamon added, and the other Digimon nodded one after another.

"But if there is delicious food, I think having evolution data extracted is still acceptable."

Coming to the restaurant in the castle, after getting delicious sandwiches, Gomamon, whose sense of taste was satisfied, suddenly said this.

"Ah, it's been less than a day since we were caught; Gomamon, are you already prepared to accept the fate of becoming a data dairy cow?"

Patamon opened its mouth wide, and the fried egg fell out of its mouth, looking at Gomamon somewhat shocked; the other Digimon also looked over.

"No, no, that's not it; I just think the food provided here is very delicious. For example, the fried steak Mimi and I ate last night smelled very fragrant, much better than the provisions on Sage Mountain."

"Damn it, Gomamon, how can you be tempted by mere delicacies?"

Patamon said indignantly, but turning around, he found that everyone else thought the food they were eating now was too good.

"Thinking about it carefully, the katsudon Flymon gave me last night was simply the most delicious food I've eaten since coming to this world."

Joe Kido had a look of intoxication.

"I had grilled eel rice; salty-sweet grilled eel paired with fragrant, hot white rice, I don't know where they got it from."

Sora also subconsciously licked her lips.

"I'm a seaweed rice ball, with meat floss and ham inside, and when it was given to me, it even came with gloves, thoughtful enough to keep books from possibly getting dirty."

Koushiro Izumi likes knowledge, so he praised the act of giving gloves.

"Am I the only one who got pork bone ramen?"

Takeru Takaishi asked.

"I wanted to eat rice too."

He said.

"If you want to eat rice, you can go to the serving window beforehand and tell the Wild Vegetable Beast, it's our chef here."

Beside him, a teddy bear heard Takeru Takaishi's words, turned its head, and told him this information.

"Ah..." Takeru Takaishi was startled, and after he reacted, he hurriedly said thank you.

"No need to thank me, if it weren't for the evolution data you provided me, I'd have a hard time evolving from Snot Beast to Bear Cub Beast in this lifetime."

Bear Cub Beast waved its hand.

"Wait, you're that Snot Beast who used traps to catch me and Patamon three times?"

Takeru Takaishi recognized it.

During the process of searching for the Badges, he and Patamon had been tricked three times by a Snot Beast using traps.

Every time he was threatened, while Patamon who had evolved into Angemon was helpless, only able to be threatened into putting on the Data Absorption Collar himself, it could be called extremely stifling.

"Haha, recognized by you, three times Vaccine Species evolution data, really thanks a lot."

Bear Cub Beast scratched its head somewhat embarrassedly, many Champion Digimon in the forest relied on strength to defeat the Chosen Children's Partner Digimon, but only it, because it was a Snot Beast with no combat power, used the tricky method of traps.

And its target selection was still the smallest Chosen Child, truly letting Takeru Takaishi and Patamon experience several instances of beastly treachery.

Takeru Takaishi: "..."

Patamon: "..."

But seeing Bear Cub Beast had no malicious look, they couldn't say anything either.

"Hello, I want to eat a rice bowl at noon, Bear Cub Beast said I could tell you here."

Finally, Takeru Takaishi still went to the kitchen window, and said to the Wild Vegetable Beast busy inside.

"Got it, take your number tag, come pick up the meal at noon."

Wild Vegetable Beast impatiently tossed out a hanging tag with a number, it was originally the head chef of a black-hearted restaurant, until some time ago that restaurant got a customer with a Devimon, the boss Eggmon wanted to scam the other party, but ended up getting beaten unconscious and fried instead.

If it hadn't quickly said it could make other delicious dishes at the time, it might have had to be buried alongside Eggmon.

Now, Wild Vegetable Beast serves the Gluttony King, and also serves the Digimon Group, its daily work is cooking in the cafeteria.

Of course, it wasn't at the castle here before, coming to work here was half a month ago, when Molecule Beast had just finished remodeling this castle into a Data Absorption Factory.

"Hey, Snot Beast, we're out of vegetables, hurry and notify Garurumon, tell it to go outside and purchase some stock."

There are many dishes to be responsible for cooking every day, although there's a pile of Snot Beasts as helpers in the kitchen giving it a hand, Wild Vegetable Beast is also busy jumping around in the kitchen.

Slacking off or anything, it doesn't dare, just afraid of being deemed passive sabotage by the Gluttony King, and then getting stewed.

However, although it can't be leisurely, it now gets paid for working, Data Capsules are its salary.

Less than two months under the Gluttony King's command, Wild Vegetable Beast already feels itself more powerful than its past self.

"Measured it, with sufficient food supplement, the Chosen Children's Partner Digimon can have evolution data extracted ten times a day.

Based on the comparison of data volume extracted these three days, as long as the potential represented by the Chosen Children continues to increase, the number of extractions definitely can increase further."

While Tai Yi and Yamato Ishida were chasing the moving Data Absorption Factory eating dirt, Molecule Beast had already measured the other Chosen Children's current data provision limits, and confirmed the originally envisioned method of tapping Chosen Children's potential was correct.

Crest of Knowledge learns knowledge, Crest of Honesty does math problems, Crest of Love is responsible for taking care of Baby Digimon, Crest of Hope watches the various hope plays performed by Gomamon, from then on believing in love and hope.

As for the Crest of Purity's owner, honestly, Molecule Beast also hasn't figured out what the girl who owns this Badge can do.

Therefore, it also directly didn't restrict the other party's freedom of action except for leaving the castle, letting her do whatever she wants.

As for the effect, currently it looks very good, Mimi sometimes runs to help Sora Takenouchi, taking care of those Digimon babies, sometimes also becomes the rescued heroine in Gomamon's performed plays, getting a taste of being the female lead.

Carefree castle life, compared to the previous bitter cultivation days on Sage Mountain, is much more enjoyable, giving Mimi a feeling of not wanting to leave.

And under the relaxed mindset, she and her Palmon actually became the ones providing the most evolution data.

"How are the other two Chosen Children outside doing?"

"They're being continuously attacked and disturbed by Guard Beasts I dispatched, combat power becoming increasingly obvious in uninterrupted encounter battles, based on the emotional fluctuations of the Chosen Children I researched, it's possible that after finding the Data Factory Castle side, they'll directly be able to use the Badges to achieve Super Evolution."

Molecule Beast made a prediction, but then immediately said: "However, whether it's the Digimon of those two Chosen Children outside who achieve Super Evolution first.

Or the Digimon of the Chosen Children we caught inside the Data Absorption Factory Castle who complete Super Evolution first, that's hard to say."

In order to obtain more evolution data, Molecule Beast is remotely helping the Chosen Children inside the castle to achieve their Partner Digimon's Super Evolution.

Compared to Fairy Beast's somewhat idealistic cultivation, with the Data Monitoring Device here, Molecule Beast's catalysis of the Chosen Children is visible.

And what Molecule Beast is currently more concerned about is a girl named Sora Takenouchi, although the other party doesn't admit she has any love, in Molecule Beast's view, this is a case of actions betraying words, the emotional data fluctuations monitored cannot deceive people.

"Gluttony King, I have a plan I want to try, wonder if it's okay?"

"What plan?"

"This girl named Sora Takenouchi, she's full of love when taking care of Baby Digimon, but just that is hard to trigger her Partner Digimon's Super Evolution, so I want to let those Baby Digimon she takes care of encounter a danger once."

"Hm?"

"Of course, everything will be conducted under guaranteed safety."

Knowing the boy's bottom line under Devimon's influence, Molecule Beast hurriedly added a sentence.

"Alright then."

Broly nodded in agreement.

"How do you plan to do it?"

Fairy Beast leaned over and asked.

It felt that in terms of promoting Chosen Children's growth, Molecule Beast is indeed a good hand.

"I plan to transfer away the Champion-level Digimon guards from the Data Factory, and move the Data Factory Castle into the territory of some dangerous Digimon."

"Wait, can you control the risk like that?"

"The transfer can just be a feigned transfer, and beforehand I will also set up a corresponding defense system in the Love Nursery."

Molecule Beast finished speaking, and glanced at Fairy Beast.

"Of course, if you're not at ease, you can also secretly follow along."

"I'll go."

"Eh?"

The two Ultimate-level Digimon looked over in confusion.

"I'm very interested in this Palmon, and plan to go make contact with it."

Broly pointed at the Palmon lying on the bed in Mimi's room, flipping through a comic book while eating potato chips, and said.

"Uh, is there anything special about this Palmon?"

Molecule Beast couldn't see anything special, and asked directly.

"I feel it's suitable to become my Digimon."

"Ah?!"

Molecule Beast and Fairy Beast instantly widened their eyes, their mouths also gaping open, indicating their confusion.
