Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

Chapter 35: Vision

Over a kilometers away from the village, Hyesi was doing his best to dig a large hole on the ground. He had already gathered a lot of giant stones from near the beach and was ready to build Ning a home.

Ning, however, was still unsure how long it would take for him to use it. However, since he was starting to get 5 million energy every day now, so it was going to get faster for sure.

ʼWill I get ostracized from the village when they see my white skin?ʼ he was worried. He didnʼt really want to change what he looked like, but it seemed he would have to.

ʼHey, System. Can I remove something later on if I wanted to?ʼ he asked.

That gave him some relief. ʼBut I donʼt even know if they will accept me. They donʼt seem like they are used to visitors. So it might be a bad idea to just introduce myself to them.ʼ

Hyesi continued building a house for Ning. Ning wanted to live in this house for a while before going to the village. Or maybe even never going there. He might instead directly leave the island and go to the main continent. At least that was what he had thought at the moment.

By nightfall, Hyesi completed the house. The stone house wasnʼt anything fancy. It wasnʼt even as good as an igloo. But, Ning thought it was okay for what it was supposed to do.

”Letʼs go back. We will return tomorrow to hide it with dried leaves and stuff,” Ning said.

”Okay, Inikaka,” Hyesi complied with his orders.

It was dark the way back, and Ning could see nothing. But Hyesi could and Ning was jealous about that. ʼShould I buy night vision?ʼ he wondered.

ʼUhh… it should come to be of help, right?ʼ he deliberated. ʼWhatever, itʼs not like I wonʼt have time to do other things. I can live forever, making some investments now would be a good choice.ʼ

ʼHey, System. How much does Night vision cost?ʼ he asked. ʼActually, on that note. I need to increase my vision clarity as well.ʼ

ʼHuh, 3? What is the difference between them?ʼ he asked.

ʼOh wow. Night Vision III is kind of amazing. I should get that sometime,ʼ he thought.

ʼAlright, buy Night vision I and show me the distances I can buy for my vision.ʼ

ʼThatʼs 5 meters per million right? Hmm… since I have over 5 million, maybe… no. Give me 3 million worth of extra focus distance.ʼ

Ning decided to look outside. ʼWoahʼ, suddenly he could see in the dark. It looked gray like those movies he saw on the TV. He could also see much further with clarity.

ʼFinally, I can see more than 10 meters ahead of me clearly.ʼ

Ning checked how much energy he had left now. ʼStatusʼ

ʼHmm… I still have quite a bit of energy left. I wonder what I should get.ʼ

While he was thinking, Hyesi suddenly spoke, ”Oh, they must be cooking fish again. Letʼs hurry up, Inikaka.” He said.

”Hmm…” Ning tried to look in the direction of the villageʼs center, but it was hidden amongst the trees and the buildings. ”How can you tell they are cooking a fish? You shouldnʼt be able to see the center of the village from here,” he asked.

”Of course itʼs because I smelled the fish, Inikaka,” Hyesi said nonchalantly.

ʼSmell? Oh, God!! Thatʼs right, smell. System, why didnʼt you give me the smell sense yet?ʼ he asked.

ʼUhh… I guess that is true. I should be able to get my body in 20 or so days.ʼ

Hyesi was already given some of the fish and was eating it. ”Do you like eating fish?” Ning asked in a whisper after seeing him hungrily munching on the fish.

”Like? Not really. Although I donʼt dislike it either. Itʼs just food,” Hyesi said.

”Then why are you gobbling it down so fast,” Ning chuckled a little as he asked.

”Oh, that is cause I was hungry. I havenʼt eaten in a few days, you know,” Hyesi said with a smile as he finished the fish.

”You guys get hungry? Then why donʼt you eat every day?” Ning asked.

”What are you saying, Inikaka? Of course, we get hungry. But, we donʼt have anything to eat,” he said.

”What about the fish in the storage room?” Ning asked.

”Oh, those are our stocks for when the cold days come. You donʼt show up for many days during the cold days and we donʼt get to cultivate. So we need to sustain ourselves with food in shorter intervals,” Hyesi said.

ʼOh, so they donʼt have much to eat because they prepare for winter huh. No wonder they have the fish encased in salt in the storeroom. But…ʼ Ning wondered.

”Hey, Hyesi. Why donʼt you guys just get more fish then? You are near the ocean. You can get one whenever you want right?” he asked.

”We cannot, Inikaka. Due to that damned demon, Fufuliki, all the fishes in the area have run away. We rarely get any fish due to him,” Hyesi replied as he gritted his teeth.

ʼI see… I wonder if I can do something to help them.ʼ
