A Whirlwind November!

After checking Xiao Xin's Ability enhancement options, Mu Yun looked forward to the day she evolved into Meowscarada.

Before that, though, he needed to think about earning Points.

After all, with Xiao Xin's initial Base Stats totaling 310, she could absorb nineteen Evolution Essences.

After exchanging Points for Bingbing's Evolution Essences, he was still about ten thousand Points short.

Hopefully System Bro would step up and give him more missions that paid Points.

Mu Yun's days remained orderly and full.

From Monday to Friday, he kept up his morning workouts, classes, cooking in the cafeteria, extra training, and Energy Cube Making.

On Saturdays and Sundays, he went to school alone for more training.

Notably, one night, all that grinding finally leveled up his Energy Cube Making Skill.

[Ding! Through persistent effort, the host's skill—Energy Cube Making—has reached LV4!]

[Energy Cube Making (LV4, 0/100000): Energy Cube nutrition +300%, Berry Energy Distribution Identification (active), Energy Cube special-effect cap +300%, Energy Cube absorption efficiency +200%, Friendship Cube (passive).]

The improvement from reaching LV4 in Energy Cube Making was obvious.

First, the Energy Cubes Mu Yun made himself were more nutritious. One was worth four, cutting his feeding costs further.

Next, the cap on Energy Cubes' special effects increased by another 100%.

The effects of his various Energy Cube Recipes rose from 15% to 20% as well.

Absorption efficiency also increased by 100%, speeding up digestion and absorption. That let Xiao Du and the others recover stamina and energy faster and train more often.

Finally, leveling Energy Cube Making to LV4 had unlocked a new Trait—

Friendship Cube!

``` [Friendship Cube (passive): When Pokémon experiencing depression, low spirits, or other negative emotions eat Energy Cubes, they gain a sense of happiness and satisfaction from within. Long-term consumption
