On the streets, only a few businesses seemed to be open, but he could see that they were hotels. In this town, those that stay seemed to leave early to go fishing and thus will obviously visit this place for their breakfast.
When Chang Shen walked into the restaurant, it was not as crowded as he thought but there were six people seated and each seemed to silently taking their breakfast. He walked towards a chair and sat down and his sportswear seemed to stand out, after all, no one goes out running on such a cold morning. Looking at the restaurant, which seemed to be warmer than the outside, there was a menu hanging on the wall.
The population in the village is not that big, and in a way, the people might be said to even know each other and thus the moment he stepped into the restaurant, the thing that was more eye-catching should have been his presence. The sportswear should be just what made them turn their line of sight to him, but since he knew most of the people, it was not difficult for him to fit in the crowd.
It did not take long for the backward atmosphere to disappear, but that also meant that Cheng Shan had become the center of attention with everyone asking him about the city and all that. In the end, he did order breakfast, but the food he consumed was not that much, for a lot of reasons. He had just arrived in the village and there was no need for him to become the hottest topic, as it would draw a lot of attention to him. His food intake was slightly higher, but it had yet to reach the point where he couldn't bear it. This was a fishing village, and he was sure to get meat at will, after all the only thing he had to do was to wake up earlier and meet the fishermen after they left the sea.
The fish could be bought in various sizes and if he provided them with a good price he would be able to sort out not only his consumption but also the clone.
When he left the restaurant, he moved around more and could see that the fog covering the town would only disperse when the sun come out. He was able to move around more and more and eventually when he had some understanding of the changes that have happened in the village he left.
Back home he carried on his routine and then picked some tools which he was using to cut the weeds that were covering the house. This seemed to have become a huge project that he was involving himself and after his rest, he would start to train in the five animal boxing, in this way, before going to rest, he would earn close to 10 profiency points. It was due to having improved his physique and thus he was sure that if this was repeated for an entire day, he would earn at least 50 proficiency points daily. In close to another ten days, he could manage to complete the entry-level of the five animal boxing.
His routine indeed become like this and in the evening just as he had expected, someone came to his place, it was the village head. He talked to him about some things and even asked about his situation but Cheng Shan just informed the old man that he would spend sometime in the village due to some work project and did not want to be disturbed due to the environment in the city.
Days passed by like this and every day in the morning he seemed to obtain some information about the development of the sea. This was just from the fishermen that seemed to be waking up early to go fishing, and they seemed to complain about the fog, and how it was affecting their work. But since it was not that of a big deal, he did not bother to pay much attention to it.
He had however cleaned up the house in this period and the places that seemed to be damaged, he had no motivation to repair them at the moment. On the other hand, the fish in the tank seemed to be close to another evolution, perhaps in another week it could undergo the second evolution.
In this period of time, his life was boring with nothing interesting other than clearing the courtyard and making some adjustments to the house. He had already cleaned up the entire house, as for the plan of letting the fish enter the stream near his house running all the way down the mountains to the sea, he had changed his mind. He was going to wait and see, after all the fishermen seemed to have mentioned something about the big fish they caught daily. In that way, it was very dangerous in the sea and the stream seemed to be heading down the mountain, making it easier for anything to happen.
He did not know about the next choice for evolution and planned to search for something in his vicinity. He focused on what was important and when his attention was turned on the panel he could see that changes had taken place to not only his physique, even his appearance had been affected.
In the past week, his skin seemed to have returned to the very way it was before he started working if not better. As for the reason for why he was working so hard, it is obvious, when he saw the benefits that had been brought to him through the panel.

He was already seeing that there was a probability of his life being extended and that was making him more driven to see the change that would happen at that time. At the same time, he could feel that he seemed to be lacking something, a perfect strength training martial arts. That would mean he would need to go and seek help from real martial artists, and it would cost money.
The Five Animal Boxing seemed to have improved his physique, but he was certain about something, in the next period, it would not be easy to improve it as it was at the entry level. Even in the videos he watched he had a feeling that his level had already surpassed them and that was it, there was no other means that he could get inspiration from it in the future.
More than just that, he could feel that martial arts were more focused on the health aspect and not violence or to be more blunt, his understanding of martial arts was still mediocre as such he would need to get in touch with more experts and learn from them. That was not something that could just be accomplished by him without moving around. In that way, he needed to have the fish in a state where it would be capable of hunting its own food.
