Aftermath

It was already dark outside by the time Euri returned to his empty home. It had been a long, eventful day, and he couldn't wait to fall into his bed to sleep.

Somewhat dazed, he freshened up, ate some heated leftovers, and took a look into the game.

Scavenger Rat was finally awake, now being chased around the grove by Brawler Rat. The rest of the beast pets were cultivating diligently, except for Blizzard Porcupine. That guy was sitting ducks inside the Breakthrough Pod.

Feeling bad for keeping it locked up, Euri brought the porcupine out of the pod, but an alert immediately popped into the screen.

[ Blizzard Porcupine's cultivation energy is at the risk of an overflow. Please restrict its cultivation! ]

Euri hurriedly tapped on the beast's status window and found the restrictive option in the [ Cultivation ] slot. The faint green smog of vitality gas permeating the sacred ground started avoiding the porcupine immediately.
