Night was the time for battle training and to go wild. It was them versus the rats, and Pumpkin Girl would watch their "heroic shows of bravery," as she'd call them.
There wasn't much valor there as far as Jack was concerned. Getting rid of the rats was as easy as uttering "Flamethrower goes BRRRR!" which he surprisingly did often nowadays.

The more pumpkins, the more rats came!

But even then, the creatures would come in waves rather than all at once. This made things so easy that he used the opportunity to train his pets.
What's amazing about Infinite are the possibilities. No other VR game offered a technique as silly as the one the Masochistic Monk was training. Same for how I could use a seemingly artistic skill to hide Chicky's true nature.
