Welp, better bite the bullet and get my core upgraded otherwise I’ll never be able to proceed.

The Dungeon tried to stay awake, but It could not resist the urge to sleep and so it fell into a deep sleep.
When it came to things felt subtly different, it’s core was bigger and it felt more Mana potential from it. Its examinations were interrupted by a panel appearing in its view and disrupting its examinations.

I would Imagine that if im selecting something I wish to evolve it, was this system made by lawyers? Yes I wish to evolve Lesser Lizard.
Now with all that I have a good start for my next floor. How to build it I wonder, a Beast Tamers dream workplace? A Lesser Snow Deers prime hunting grounds, though now that I think about it that might be hard. Well I’ll figure it out once I get to work on it.
