Back home, Lin Ruo was covered in sweat. She took out a glass of water from the lake in her life space and drank it, letting out a long, satisfying sigh.
Afu and Ashou also saw it. They squatted on the ground, sticking out their long tongues, and looked longingly at Lin Ruo's water cup.
Lin Ruo glanced at her water glass. "You guys want to drink this too?"
She took out another cup and poured some into their dog bowls. The two of them started drinking it with smacking sounds, looking extremely thirsty, and finished it in less than a minute.
Lin Ruo watched the two dogs nervously, afraid that they might be uncomfortable, but it turned out that the two were perfectly fine. They even licked their dog bowls clean and whimpered at Lin Ruo, clearly wanting more water.
Lin Ruo glanced at the water dispenser less than a meter away from them and chuckled, "You guys know how to pick good stuff. I was worried that your bodies were too delicate to handle it, and I was thinking of waiting until you mutated before giving it to you. But it seems I was overthinking it. If you want to drink, then drink this from now on."
Lin Ruo replaced the water in their waterers with water from the Life Space, and the two little guys started circling around the waterers.
Seeing that there was nothing wrong with them, she turned around and started packing. She put all the fruits, vegetables, and meats into the refrigerator, all the instant snacks she bought into the cabinet, and all the other daily necessities into her storage space, categorizing and putting them away neatly.
A dozen minutes later, she finished packing her things and sat on the sofa to rest for a while. Ah Shou ran over and jumped onto the sofa, licking Lin Ruo's hand.
Lin Ruo's playful nature was aroused, and she quickly and gently grabbed Ah Shou's little tongue with her fingers. Ah Shou tried to pull her tongue back but couldn't, and cried out in frustration.
Afu, who was still drinking water, heard the shout and rushed over, putting his front paws on the sofa and looking at Lin Ruo.
Lin Ruo let go of her hand, and Ah Shou barked twice at Lin Ruo before starting to lick her hand again.
Lin Ruo glanced at the weather outside. It wasn't even noon yet, and the originally sunny weather was starting to look gloomy. She knew this was a sign of the impending apocalyptic downpour.
Since the end times are coming, we need to hurry up and finish the mutation process for Ashou and Afu.
Lin Ruo flipped her hand, and a level-one crystal core appeared in her palm. The crystal core was not very big, only half the size of her palm, and it was as clear as crystal.
Ah Shou smelled it out of curiosity, but there was no taste. He then started licking it, but he couldn't taste anything either. He immediately lost interest and turned to bite Lin Ruo's fingers.
Seeing that nothing was wrong, Afu lay down on the ground, closed his eyes, and wanted to rest for a while.
Lin Ruo picked up Ashou with her left hand and held the crystal core in her right hand, then placed the crystal core on Ashou's forehead.
Her spiritual power penetrated deep into the crystal core, guiding the energy within to drill into Ashou's forehead.
"Hmm..."
Ah Shou struggled in pain, but Lin Ruo held it tightly to stop it from struggling. The mutation process was indeed quite painful, as the energy was used to modify their body cells, but the benefits for Ah Shou after the pain were immeasurable.
Afu, who was standing nearby, also opened its eyes. Seeing that Ashou was in pain, it anxiously clung to the sofa and whimpered, trying to stop Lin Ruo.
Lin Ruo looked up at it with gentle eyes. Although she knew it couldn't understand, she still patiently explained, "Good girl, this is for its own good. I won't hurt you."
Afu was still whimpering softly, but thanks to Lin Ruo's comforting words, it wasn't as anxious anymore, though its eyes remained fixed on A Shou.
Feeling that the energy of one crystal core was not enough, Lin Ruo took out another crystal core and guided the energy into Ashou's body again. Half an hour later, Ashou absorbed seven crystal cores and fell into a deep sleep.
Lin Ruo clicked her tongue in amazement. Ah Shou's small body had actually absorbed so much energy. Back then, she only used three pills to help Fang Ling awaken her superpower.
Lin Ruo picked up Afu again, feeling it trembling slightly. She gently pressed her forehead against Afu's to comfort it and whispered, "It's okay, it will pass soon. The mutations before the apocalypse will make you stronger after the apocalypse, so you can better protect yourselves. I don't want anything to happen to you."
Afu felt its owner's comfort and stopped trembling. It stuck out its tongue and licked Lin Ruo's face, seemingly comforting Lin Ruo in return.
"Little thing..." Lin Ruo smiled, wiped the drool off her face, and tapped Afu's forehead with her finger.
She took out the crystal core from the space and began to guide the energy of the crystal core into Afu's body.
As soon as the energy entered, Lin Ruo clearly felt A Fu's body begin to tremble violently.
"Awoo!"
Lin Ruo was surprised. The crystal core energy had actually stimulated the wolf genes in A Fu's body. No wonder A Fu was in more pain than A Shou. It seemed that this mutated A Fu would be more successful than A Shou.
The mutation process of Afu lasted for an hour, during which it absorbed nine crystal cores. When it ended, Afu's body was still twitching.
Its body has changed drastically; its original silver-black fur has turned completely silver, and even its eyes have become silver.
Lin Ruo put the two little guys into their own little beds. They would sleep for several days after this mutation, and when they woke up, they would be mutated beasts.
After settling them in, Lin Ruo realized it was already 2 PM. The excessive mental energy she had used up gave her a headache, and she lost the desire to cook. She simply took out a few boxed lunches from her spatial storage and quickly finished her lunch.
After finishing lunch, Lin Ruo took out two crystal cores and began cultivating, as she needed to replenish her mental energy after excessive consumption.
Lin Ruo sat cross-legged on the sofa, holding a crystal core in each hand, the light emanating from her body sometimes white and sometimes blue.
Two hours later, Lin Ruo finally finished her cultivation. After opening her eyes, she stretched and felt refreshed. The excessive consumption of mental energy this time had turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as her mental energy had increased slightly.
