Chapter 285 The Ancient Castle's Joy, Forgetting the Sage's Mountain!

"Chosen children, after a night's rest, I believe you and your partner Digimon have recovered your spirits."

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

Early in the morning, Mimi was awakened from her soft, cozy bed by the loudspeaker in the castle and the knocking of a Rookie Digimon, which woke up a group of Chosen Children and their partner Digimon.

They weren't even given breakfast before being led to a room for collecting data.

"Please begin your evolution."

The story of Cactusmon evolving from Floramon.

"What should we do?"

Meimei asked a question.

"Circumstances are beyond our control, so let's do as they say for now."

Sora said that Aju agreed, and Abu couldn't say anything against it.

The light of evolution shone brightly in the metal room, and Palmon and the others evolved together into Champion-level Digimon.

Floramon's evolved form, Cactusmon, distributed second-generation data absorption devices that connected to the Dark Cable to its partner Digimon. A group of Champion-level Digimon were forcibly extracted of their evolution data and regressed back to Rookie-level.

This entire process was recorded by surveillance cameras installed in the room. Inside the inverted pyramid not far from the castle, a large amount of data code began to appear on the screen in front of the molecular beast.

"The Gluttonous Beast King, the second-generation data absorption device connected to the Dark Cable, has increased the efficiency of absorbing evolutionary data by 31% compared to before. As long as the Chosen Children are kept at our data absorption factory, we will be able to continuously obtain evolutionary data from the Vaccine Species and the Data Species."

"Keeping them here indefinitely is definitely not an option; the fairy beasts won't agree. However, delaying their departure from the castle is still possible, but that depends on your abilities."

"clear."

Molecular Beast nodded, manipulated the keyboard for a while, and then pressed the confirmation button.

Suddenly, a rumbling sound came from the data factory.

"What happened?"

The Chosen Digimon, whose evolution data had just been extracted from their partner Digimon, were a little flustered. However, Cactusmon, the evolved form of Flamemon, explained something to them.

"This is the activation of the data absorption factory's mobile module; the entire castle is now moving."

Once outside the metal room, looking out the window, you can see two huge track tracks left on the desert. The entire castle is moving in the other direction, not very fast, but not slow either.

A moving castle would undoubtedly cause a lot of trouble for Yagami Taichi and Ishida Yamato, who were heading this way.

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

Palmon rubbed its belly and then asked the question to the Cactusmon next to it.

"Yes, the cafeteria has prepared breakfast for you."

Floramon, which evolved into Cactusmon, nodded and began to tell the group of Chosen Children and their Digimon about their future lifestyle in the castle.

"We need to extract a certain amount of your evolutionary data every day, and the specific number of extractions depends on your physical condition."

If you cooperate with us, you will be able to obtain everything you need for living in the castle, including but not limited to delicious food, fun game consoles, and nice clothes.

"Cactus Beast, I have a question."

"What's the problem?"

The cactus beast looked at Kido, who had asked the question.

"Are we in mortal danger?"

Kido asked the question.

"Why do you think you are in danger? You are valuable producers of evolutionary data, and our king values ​​you highly."

Cactusmon is gone, leaving behind a group of Chosen Children and their Digimon looking at each other in bewilderment.

"This seems a little different from what I expected."

Meimei muttered something to herself.

"Yes, when we first met LadyDevimon, she wanted to kill Takeru and Patamon, but now that we've all been captured by her, it seems that apart from extracting evolution data from Biyomon and the others and assigning me to take care of some baby Digimon, she hasn't done anything more outrageous to us."

Suna also said.

"Uh, I was locked in a library to read books."

"A flying insect is asking me addition and subtraction questions."

"The Frogmon puts on a show for me and Patamon."

"Hey, why is it that everyone else has something to do, while I'm stuck in a pink-themed room with nothing to do?"

The chosen children who were captured recounted their experiences upon arriving here and discovered that things were completely different from what they had imagined their arrest would be like.

"The feeling of having data extracted is exhausting."

However, their partner Digimon had a different opinion, with Tentomon speaking out directly.

"It felt like running a very long marathon."

Biyomon added, and the other Digimon nodded in agreement.

"But if there's good food, I think it's acceptable to have my evolutionary data extracted."

Arriving at the restaurant inside the castle, and receiving a delicious sandwich, Balmon, feeling satisfied with its taste, suddenly said this.

"Ah, it's only been less than a day since you were captured, Palmon, are you already prepared to accept your fate of becoming a data cow?"

Patamon opened its mouth wide, and the fried egg fell out. It looked at Palmon in shock, and the other Digimon also looked over.

"No, that's not true at all. I just think the food here is delicious. For example, the steak that Meimei and I had last night was very fragrant and much better than the food we ate on Wise Man Mountain."

"Damn it, Palmon, how could you be tempted by such a mere delicacy?"

Patamon said indignantly, but when he turned around, he found that everyone else thought the food they were eating now was much better.

"Thinking about it carefully, the pork chop rice bowl that the flying insect beast gave me last night was simply the best food I've ever eaten since I came to this world."

Kido looked completely captivated.

"I'm serving eel rice, which is salty and sweet grilled eel served with fragrant, hot white rice. I don't know where they come from."

Suna also subconsciously licked her lips.

"I am a seaweed rice ball, and inside the rice ball are pork floss and ham. When I was given it, gloves were also included, which was thoughtful to prevent the books from getting dirty."

Koushiro loves knowledge, so he greatly admires the act of giving him gloves.

Am I the only one eating tonkotsu ramen?

A-Wu asked.

"I wanted to eat rice too."

He said.

"If you want rice, you can tell Wild Vegetable Beast at the serving window in advance; he's our chef here."

Nearby, a teddy bear overheard A-Wu's words, turned around, and told him the news.

"what……"

A-Wu was startled, but after he came to his senses, he quickly said thank you.

"You're welcome. If it weren't for the evolution data you provided, I would have had a hard time evolving from a snot-nosed beast into a bear-like beast in my entire life."

The bear cub waved its hand.

"Wait, are you the Numemon that used traps to catch me and Patamon three times?"

A-Wu recognized him.

During their search for the badge, he and Patamon were tricked three times by a Numemon using traps.

Each time, he was the one being threatened, and Patamon, who evolved into Angemon, was helpless and could only be threatened into wearing the data absorption collar, which was extremely frustrating.

"Ha, you recognized me. The evolutionary data from the three vaccines, thank you so much."

Bearmon scratched its head a little embarrassedly. Many Champion-level Digimon in the forest defeated the Digimon partner of the Chosen Children through their strength, but it was the only one that used a trap because it was a Numemon and didn't have much combat power.

The fact that the target was the youngest Chosen Child allowed Takeru and Patamon to experience the treacherous nature of beasts.

Awu: "..."

Patamon: "..."

But seeing that the bear cub didn't seem to have any ill intentions, it wasn't wise to say anything.

"Hello, I'd like to have a rice bowl for lunch, and Bear Cub said I could talk to you here."

In the end, A-Wu went to the kitchen window and spoke to the wild vegetable beast who was busy inside.

"Okay, just take your badge and come pick up your meal at noon."

The vegetable beast impatiently tossed out a tag with a number. It used to be the head chef of a shady restaurant, until a while ago a customer came to the restaurant with a Gatomon. As the owner, Eggmon tried to cheat the customer, but ended up being knocked unconscious and fried by the customer.

If it hadn't quickly said that it could cook other delicious dishes, it might have been buried with Egg Beast.

Nowadays, the Wild Vegetablemon serves King Gluttonymon and the Forest Digimon Group, and its daily job is to cook in the cafeteria.

Of course, I wasn't here at the castle before. I started working here about two weeks ago, when the Molecular Beast had just transformed the castle into a data absorption factory.

"Hey, Snot Beast, we're running out of vegetables. Go tell King Kong to go outside and get some more."

There are many dishes to prepare every day. Although there are a bunch of snotty beasts helping out in the kitchen, the wild vegetable beast is also busy jumping around in the kitchen.

It wouldn't dare to slack off, for fear that the Gluttonous Beast King would mistake it for passive resistance and stew it.

However, although it can't stay idle, it now gets paid for its work; the data capsule is its salary.

Less than two months after joining the Gluttonous Beast King's ranks, the Vegetable Beast felt that it was much stronger than before.

"The results show that, with sufficient food, the chosen children's partner Digimon can have their evolution data extracted ten times a day."

Based on the comparison of the data extracted over these three days, as long as the potential represented by the chosen children continues to improve, the number of times data can be extracted will definitely increase further.

While Yagami Taichi and Ishida Yamato were chasing after the mobile data absorption factory to the dust, Molecular Beast had already measured the current data provision limits of several other Chosen Children and confirmed that the original plan to tap into the potential of the Chosen Children was correct.

Those with the Knowledge Badge learn knowledge, those with the Honesty Badge do math problems, those with the Love Badge take care of baby Digimon, and those with the Hope Badge watch various hopeful dramas performed by the Frogmon, and from then on believe in love and hope.

As for the owner of the Innocent Badge, to be honest, even Molecular Beast didn't understand what the girl who owned the badge could do.

Therefore, they did not restrict the other party's freedom of movement except for leaving the castle, allowing the other party to do whatever they wanted.

As for the results, they seem to be very good so far. Mimi sometimes goes to help Sora and takes care of the Digimon babies. Sometimes she also becomes the rescued heroine in the Monstermon's drama and gets to experience being the leading lady.

The carefree life in the castle was much more enjoyable than the ascetic days on the Sage's Mountain, making Meimei feel like she didn't want to leave.

With a relaxed mindset, she and her Palmon became the ones who provided the most evolution data.

"How are the other two chosen children who are out there?"

"They are constantly attacked and harassed by the guardian beasts I sent, and their combat strength is increasing more and more significantly in the continuous encounters. Based on my research on the emotional fluctuations of the chosen children, they may be able to use the badge to complete their Mega Evolution after finding the Data Factory Castle."

Molecular Beast made a prediction, but then added, "However, will it be the two DigiDestined children outside who achieve Hyper Evolution first?"

It's hard to say whether the Digimon of the Chosen Children, captured and imprisoned in the Data Absorption Factory Castle, will undergo Mega Evolution first.

In order to obtain more evolution data, Molemon remotely assists the Chosen Children in the castle in enabling their partner Digimon to undergo Mega Evolution.

Compared to Fairymon's somewhat idealistic cultivation, which has data monitoring devices, Molecularmon's catalysis of the Chosen Children is visible.

The Beast is currently paying more attention to a girl named Suna. Although she doesn't admit to having any kind of love, in the Beast's view, she is a hypocrite. The emotional data fluctuations obtained from monitoring cannot be faked.

"King of Gluttony, I have a plan I'd like to try. What do you think?"

"What plan?"

"This girl named Sora is full of love for taking care of baby Digimon, but that alone is not enough to inspire her partner Digimon to Mega Evolve. So, I want to put those baby Digimon she takes care of into danger."

"Um?"

"Of course, everything will be done while ensuring safety."

Knowing that under Gatomon's influence, the boy's bottom line was at stake, Molemon quickly added a sentence.

"Alright."

Broly nodded in agreement.

"What are you planning to do?"

The fairy beast leaned closer and asked.

It felt that the Molecular Beast was indeed a good helper in promoting the growth of the chosen children.

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

"Wait, will you be able to control the risk this way?"

"The transfer could be just a pretense, and I would set up a corresponding defense system in the nursery beforehand."

After finishing speaking, Molecular Beast glanced at Fairy Beast.

"Of course, if you're worried, you can follow them secretly."

"I'll go over there."

"Huh?"

The two Ultimate-level Digimon looked over in confusion.

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

Broly pointed to Palmon, who was lying on Mimi's bed, reading a comic book and eating potato chips.

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

The molecular beast couldn't see anything special about it, so it asked directly.

"I think it's suitable to be my Digimon."

"ah?!"

The molecular beast and the fairy beast widened their eyes and opened their mouths, showing their confusion.
