Everyone went to sleep outside their home and only Ning was wide awake looking at everything in black and white. 'Feels like I'm watching an old movie,' he thought.
He looked at Hyesi, who too had started to sleep outside after getting stronger, sleeping with a smile on his face. 'He must've really liked the fish,' Ning thought as he looked at the young boy.
He looked at the other villagers, and they were mostly asleep with smiles as well. 'Can I really do anything to help?' he wondered. In his mind, the only method was to directly kill what they called the Demon and be done with it. Fishes would return and they would get some more food.
But that wasn't a choice for right now. No one in the village had enough strength to fight the demon and it would take Ning forever to get enough energy to be strong or make Hyesi strong enough to fight the demon.
'Hmm… why don't they eat coconut?' he wondered. He looked around and remembered they were all asleep. 'Ah, I guess I will ask Hyesi tomorrow.' Ning went to sleep as well.
Early in the morning, the system woke up Ning just as Hyesi and the rest started to wake up. Ning looked at the horizon and realized that the sun was still a bit away from rising.
'Let's see, since I collected 2.5 million energy after sunrise yesterday and increasing my cap to 5 million, I still haven't capped out for the day. So, If I were to collect right now, I would be capped and would have to wait for 24 more hours, right? Hmm… I guess my best choice is to not collect right now so that I can do it in a few hours,' he thought.
Everyone started cultivating the Sun God's Morning Cleansing technique. Sun came up and washed them over with its yang. Hyesi frowned as he didn't feel his god doing anything for him today. 'Is something wrong with Inikaka?' he thought.
Ning on the other hand was jolly, waiting for a few more minutes to collect 4 million energy at once. 'Wait, I can collect 5 million if I wait for some more minutes, right?'
Hyesi started to walk out of the village to go to the jungle when suddenly, he heard, "Wait Hyesi, go back inside your house for a few more minutes."
Hyesi immediately stopped when he heard his god. "Is something wrong, Inikaka? You didn't help me today either," he asked.
"I was too busy thinking of something and forgot to help you. Go back to your house and I will do it again," Ning said.
Hyesi made no objections and went back to his stone house. His mother looked at him weirdly for returning inside his house but made no comment about it.
After a few minutes, Ning collected 5 million energy from the Yin that was in Hyesi's body and inside the house itself. "Alright, we can go now."
"Did that help me this time, Inikaka?" Hyesi asked. Ning had said yesterday that it didn't help him, but he had still decided to help him once more.
"It doesn't matter if it helped you right now or not, in the long term, it will help you," Ning said something that was sort of true, but mostly a lie.
Hyesi still accepted it and walked to the jungle. His task today was to collect different dried leaves and use them to cover Inikaka's home that he was making.
Ning looked at the different coconut shells and decided to ask the question. "Hyesi, Why don't you guys eat coconut?" he asked.
"What's a coconut, Inikaka?" Hyesi asked.
"These things inside these shells, don't you eat those," he asked.
"Ah, you mean Jebiento, yes we drink their water," Hyesi said.
'Jebiento? Is there some sort of language problem here?' he wondered. 'Hey system, what's the price for the next Klavis language?' he asked.
'Alright, buy it.'
