Ning tried to think of sothing since Hyesi refused to throw his necklace into the fire.
"Okay, how about this then. Search for a giant stone sowhere, and bring it back to the fire." Ning decided to use an alternative thod. Hyesi complied and ran off along the beach to start finding giant rocks.
"Does this work, bright Inikaka?" he asked holding a stone about double the size of his palms. Ning looked at the childish palms holding the average-looking stones.
"Try and see if there are bigger ones. The bigger the better." Now that he was forced to search for new rock, he decided to use one that had the most surface area, so that it could gather the most heat.
Hyesi searched around for a few more minutes before he found a rock that satisfied Ning. "What should I do now, bright Inikaka?"
"Bring it back to the site where the fire is," Ning said. Hyesi practically ran off and reached the fire within a minute. "We are here, Inikaka. What should I do now?"
Ning thought for a mont and said, "Let bless that rock and give it my powers. Touch that rock with your necklace."
Hyesi complied and brought the stone to his chest, slowly touching it to his necklace.
'Give full authority to use the body switch whenever I want to, system,' Ning ordered and waited for the system's affirmation.
'What? Why did you make ask every ti then?' Ning got unusually annoyed.
'Whatever. How do I use it then? Is it like the Candle Fire?' he asked.
'Alright then. Think of yourself as jumping into that stone.' He started to visualize it and within a split second, he felt his consciousness shifting.
'I did it!' he shouted internally. He wanted to make an external shout as well but decided against it.
"Alright, lower this rock into that pit of fire now." He waited for Hyesi to respond after commanding him.
Hyesi did as asked and placed the rock into the fire.
'Ah… YES. Finally. Finally, I can get energy whenever I want. Hey system, show the energy values per second.'
'Stop,' Ning said as the energy intake continued to flow in.
'System, what is going on? Why am I taking in so less energy?' he asked.
'What? That's bullsh*t. How long will it take then?' he started to count the numbers in his head.
At 150 energy every second, he would get 9000 energy every minute. Which wasn't very bad. If he could keep it up, he could gain 560,000 energy in an hour.
'Well, that's not really bad I guess. "Hyesi, look after the fla and add more of those dried leaves when it's starting to burn away, okay?"
Hyesi got alert as soon as he heard it. "I understand, O bright Inikaka." He imdiately got to work. Every ti the fire would get low, he would add more dried leaves and coconut shells from the pile.
Ning, however, didn't see any of it. 'System, wake up when the fire stops burning here, okay?'
Ning went unconscious. When he got back to consciousness, he didn't know how long of a ti had passed.
'The system didn't play a trick on and kept sleeping for months on end again, did it?' he thought. 'Nah, no way.'

'Huh? That's more energy than what I would've imagined, but sohow, I'm still disappointed,' Ning said as he looked at the status.
'At this rate, it will take … uhh… 6 days to get the 22 million energy.' Ning sighed at the thought of having to do this every day for 6 more days.
'System, how long was I out this ti?' he asked.
'That's … a surprisingly normal amount you've said for the first ti, system. But, wait a second. How did I get 2.5 million energy in 3 and a half hours? Shouldn't it have been 5 hours?' he asked.
'Huh? It didn't even require that long? What is going on?' Ning asked as he was greatly confused.
