In the end, the four of them gave up on the idea of checking out the tower and decided to head back home, using the giant vulture statue near the forest mammoths to teleport back.
Pushing forward any further would mean encountering higher-level Palus, but their team was still using basic creatures like Chickpea and Mischief Cat, making it hard to keep up.
"Pick more wild berries and mushrooms — the team's Palus are hungry!" Zhong Yi reminded them.
The walk back was much easier, and soon they teleported from the giant vulture statue to the base below the starting plateau.
"Hehehe, home sweet home~ Did my little ones behave and keep crafting Palu Spheres?" Zhou Qiaoling rushed to the workbench first to check on the progress.
[Palu Spheres: 18/46]
The work on the Palu Spheres was less than halfway done.
"And this Zongmingzi hasn't been chopping wood properly... and the Fluffball hasn't produced any wool! What's going on with them?"
Zhong Yi looked at the three pitiful Palus drooping their heads and clutching their stomachs, quickly finding the answer.
"They're too hungry to work? Strange — didn't we leave some wild berries in the feed box before we left?"
"I get it now..."
Zhou Yue jolted, twitching his mouth as he walked over to that Mischief Cat.
The Mischief Cat in the base was one he had placed.
Back then, he had three Mischief Cats in his terminal and just let one out without checking.
Now, he looked at the Mischief Cat's stats.
Sure enough!
[Timid] [Gluttony] [Bottomless Stomach] [Habitual Slacker]!
"So it really was you! Zhou! Qiao! Ling!!"
"Huh? What's that got to do with me?!"
...
"Dammit! I should have never taken in this Mischief Cat. I'll just get rid of it later..."
Zhou Yue grumbled as he recalled the Mischief Cat into his terminal and switched to a new one.
After placing wild berries and mushrooms in the feed tray, the Palus quickly got back to work.
"Lao Zhou, you can't think like that," Zhong Yi said, shaking his head seriously, dismissing Zhou Yue's remark.
"Palus are our important partners!"
"I know, I know — I was just saying..." Zhou Yue waved his hand dismissively.
At this moment, in their eyes, Palus were a special presence somewhere between pets and friends.
Especially after the base had been expanded.
As the four of them placed various newly unlocked structures at the base, its level increased, allowing the number of Palus stationed there to rise to five.
After some research, Zhong Yi reassigned the Palus at the base.
One Leaf Rat, one Icy Cub, one Zongmingzi, one Mischief Cat, and one Fluffball.
With that, they could cover planting, watering, gathering, crafting, mining, woodcutting, and wool production.
The moment the setup was complete, the base's Palus acted exactly as Zhong Yi had envisioned.
The Leaf Rat buried itself in the berry patch to plant seeds, the Icy Cub started watering, waiting to harvest — the Zongmingzi chopped wood, the Mischief Cat mined rocks, and the Fluffball hunkered down in the pasture producing wool...
The base was no longer just a base — it even carried a hint of homey warmth.
Watching the Palus bustling about in the base, the four of them felt as if these creatures had become part of the family.
Seeing the scene before him, Zhou Yue slapped himself:
"Ah! I'm such a jerk — wanting to abandon my own Palu!"
Zhong Yi nodded in understanding.
After all, people can never truly sympathize with their past selves.
"Lao Zhou, I'm glad you realize that."
He patted Zhou Yue on the shoulder and said with an upright expression:
"We absolutely must not harm our own Palus!"
...
"Nice, both the Penguins and the Mischief Cats will carry the wild berries that grow to the feed bin … this way our Palus won’t go hungry!"
After watching a full cycle of the base’s operations, Zhong Yi nodded with satisfaction.
The base was now able to self-sustain wild berry production without needing them to come back and feed the creatures regularly. This meant they had more time to explore the outside world.
"Let’s hurry up! My Firefox is so strong—both its attack and defense are way higher than Big Brother’s! Hehe, I’m invincible!"
Zhou Qiaoling couldn’t wait to summon the Firefox she had just captured, happily stroking its fiery tail.
The flames were soft and not hot at all, just like a plush toy.
"Damn, what kind of luck is that…"
Zhou Yue muttered under his breath with a pout.
The Firefox Zhou Qiaoling caught not only had the golden trait 【Ferocious】, but also a never-before-seen rainbow trait 【Adamantine Body】.
One increased attack, the other increased defense, making its attributes shockingly high.
"【Adamantine Body】? Can I get that trait…"
Mu Yawen blinked, starting to entertain strange thoughts—he wished he could become a Palus himself.
The four of them brought along the Pal Spheres freshly crafted by the Mischief Cats and the Penguins and set off again.
It was still early in the day, and since everyone was already familiar with the plains where the Sibers lived, they decided not to stick together this time but to split up.
...
Half an hour later.
"Lao Zhong, I found a secret realm … there are tons of Palus inside, and some demon cultivators carrying guns!"
Zhou Yue’s voice suddenly came through the team’s chat channel.
Guns, logically speaking, should have been modified by Lu Ze.
But unexpectedly, the "Xian Yuan Zhou Operation" had gone far more smoothly than planned, and the cultivators had already accepted the concept of using guns and artillery in a world with thin spiritual energy.
"There’s a secret realm here too?"
Zhong Yi, who was heading toward a tower, was taken aback.
"Yeah, a secret realm! I entered through a cave-like opening … it’s a whole different world inside…"
Zhou Yue described his discovery while commanding his Firefox to fight the enemies in the secret realm.
Fire-type—true to the stereotype of high damage—proved to be extremely powerful even at the initial stage with the most basic Firefox.
Zhong Yi, Zhou Yue, and Zhou Qiaoling all chose their Firefox as their primary output Palus.
Mu Yawen, however, selected the Fist-Frog as his first combatant because he felt the Fist-Frog looked like it was built for physical training.
Zhou Yue wandered through the winding secret realm for a long time, stepping on quite a few traps, before finally reaching a beautiful cave deep within.
"Holy crap! There’s a huge beast at the deepest part of the secret realm…"
Zhou Yue couldn’t help but exclaim.
"So big! That’s one enormous Dire Wolf!!!"
"Is it tough? Do you want me to come over now?"
Zhong Yi asked instinctively.
Hearing this, Zhou Yue’s mouth twitched.
"Forget it—I’m afraid the big beast will eat you and level up instead…"
