After he figured it out, he became much smoother and more well-rounded, hiding his principles beneath his newfound polish. Thus, he thrived and lived joyfully.
By now, Chen Shi had come into contact with the ways of the world even earlier than him, recognizing the true nature of the world, which perhaps was a good thing for Chen Shi.
"He'll figure it out," Fu Leisheng walked towards Bridge Bay Town.
Chen Shi stood by the river for a long time, listening to the chanting of the river, sometimes surging, sometimes deep.
"I don't get it!"
Chen Shi suddenly started walking and said, "Black Pot, I just don't get it! I indeed can't change the world, but changing a little bit counts as well! Doing nothing means nothing changes at all! Don't you think? I'll just do what I can!"
Black Pot nodded vigorously, confused, "Woof?"
Chen Shi followed upstream along the De River, saying, "I'm going to check upstream."
Black Pot hurriedly followed him, man and dog tracing the river's flow.
