Ant Cultivator Quest

You continue your battle with the ladybug, confident that you can overpower it with your movement technique.

Activating Beetlecharge, you pay it in vitality. You can feel the technique enhancing your movement

Rolled a 14+6 Battle Power-3 Hunger=17
Cultivating Ladybug damage 47/60 >64/60

You run circles around the ladybug, slashing with the sharp points of your legs. Your technique allows them to be enhanced with Qi. While Beetle Charge's main attribute is speed, powering your legs with qi still allows them to sheer through the ladybug.

The ladybug is rendered limbless and flightless with your skilled attacks.

Choose one
[] [CultivatingLadybug] 7 Food
[] [CultivatingLadybug] 60 Cultivation XP

Because you have no food, you are now Starving and will experience -5 to all rolls.
A red mold is preventing your Fungus Farm from producing food
You are Wounded and will consume *1.1 more food. You will recover 6 HP REGARDLESS of your hunger level. You currently have 46/60 HP
You have gone 3 days without churning your Qi. If you go 4 days without churning your qi, your Qi will disperse, setting your cultivation back to the Initial 1st Realm of Qi Gathering.

Additionally, now that you're not constantly bombarded by the black substance's stench, you realize that your Qi sensitivity is much greater than it was at the first layer. You may now seek out Qi Veins. Cultivating at Qi Veins grants bonuses to cultivation, but also causes you to gain Elemental Energy. An excess of Elemental Energy causes your Qi to deviate, so make sure to regularly purge elemental energy from your Qi.

You also feel the vestiges of a technique as you progress in the way of the ant. This is your only freebie technique. If you want more techniques, then continue to hunt cultivating predators.

[] [AntTechnique] (QiBlood) Qi Burst- Floods your body with Qi, adding +3 to your roll. If the action is a cultivation action, the bonus is +5 instead. Cooldown: 9 Days
[] [AntTechnique](Lightness) Triple Master- Floods your body with qi, allowing you to move at blinding speeds. Select 3 actions on the day Triple Master is activated and you will perform them at -9. Cooldown: 9 Days
[] [AntTechnique](Hardness)(Water) Steady Stream- Every time you repeat an action, Steady Stream gains 1 charge. The next time you select a different action, Steady Stream expends all of its charges, granting you a +1 for every 3 charges of Steady Stream.
