Chapter 94

Feng Yi knew that the current situation in the house could not allow others to enter. Not to mention 2,000 yuan per hour, even if it were 20,000 yuan per hour, he wouldn't dare let anyone in!

He couldn't explain it!

After refusing, Feng Yi also mentioned in the homeowners' group that he wouldn't rent the balcony to avoid more private messages.

Not every homeowner agreed to rent their balconies or allow others to enter their houses, so Feng Yi's decision wasn't an exception.

After dealing with the messages in the homeowners' group, Feng Yi searched for news.

He knew that something had definitely changed in him last night, as his weight had dropped from over a ton to more than 200 pounds in just one night. His body's instincts also told him that this change was good and beneficial for increasing his survival competitiveness.

The butler had mentioned a 500-kilogram threshold, and Feng Yi knew he had definitely met that. However, he didn't know what level of evolution he had reached.

But this step was definitely a success.

Putting these thoughts aside, Feng Yi wanted to know if anything else had happened when his body changed last night.

For example, was there any abnormal weather?

All the news related to Yexiu Community seemed to be dominated by the "swans," but when Feng Yi was browsing through the messages, he saw a fog warning from last night.

The last time he was in the old community, there was also fog at night, which he didn't see himself, but others did.

The property management of that community explained it as a "stratus cloud" phenomenon.

This time, the fog was more extensive, and it even prompted the monitoring station to issue a warning!

"Patch fog"?

From "stratus clouds" to "patch fog," what would happen next?

Feng Yi fell into deep thought.

Next time...

If his instincts told him that a significant change was coming, should he find a place with fewer people?

Judging from the current situation, the impact area would definitely be larger each time.

This time, it was still in the suburbs, where there was plenty of water and fog, so this phenomenon could be explained without suspicion falling on him.

But what about next time?

Would he have to go into the mountains?

Feng Yi was considering major life decisions.

As for the swans?

What do the swans have to do with me?

Feng Yi pondered for half an hour but still couldn't come up with a good solution.

The butler wouldn't intervene; that was already made clear in their last conversation. Before Feng Yi evolved to the next stage, he could only develop on his own.

And the next stage, Feng Yi had a premonition, and his instincts told him it was very close.

The comprehensive strengthening of his body seemed to be preparing for the final "hatching" of the initial stage.

Complete development and sufficient strength were needed to successfully "hatch."

Feng Yi didn't know if his current condition was strong or well-developed, but overall, he felt healthy!

Feng Yi reined in his thoughts and moved his limbs. He could feel the difference in his body.

He wasn't as hungry as before.

Previously, excessive mental activity would consume a lot of energy, requiring a large amount of food. But from the time he woke up until now, he didn't feel a strong sense of hunger.

Not only was his weight gradually returning to a normal range, but his diet might also return to normal.

This was a good thing!

He didn't want to spend every day figuring out how to secretly eat so much food, feeling like a thief even though he wasn't breaking any laws.

He was also under a lot of mental pressure!

Of course, although he didn't need to eat a lot now, he still had to eat.

He prepared some food for himself, about twice the amount a normal person would eat, which satisfied his hunger.

After eating, Feng Yi started to clean the house.

He sorted and compressed the food packaging, which didn't take up much space, and threw it in the basement.

He also moved all the damaged items that could be moved to the basement and locked them up. Since the basement was currently empty, it was perfect for storing items that he didn't want others to see.

The broken tiles on the floor couldn't be fixed, so the house definitely needed to be renovated.

Some cabinets with obvious cracks, Feng Yi dismantled by hand.

The construction waste was temporarily placed in the basement, to be handled in batches later. He also compressed it to reduce the space it occupied.

After a simple cleanup, the house looked less terrifying. Feng Yi found a large carpet and laid it in the living room, covering the area where he had slept and where the tiles were most broken.

The carpet was left by the previous owner, but it was stored away because the air humidity in this area was high. Feng Yi hadn't used it since buying the house, but now it was perfect.

After clearing the debris and slightly filling the holes, the carpet was laid over.

It felt like putting wallpaper on a wall with paint chips, scratches, and cracks, making it look less scary at first glance.

Before, the living room floor looked like it had been trampled by a rhinoceros. If someone saw it, it wouldn't be easy to explain.

Now, with the carpet covering it, it was barely passable.

Although it wasn't perfectly flat, if someone entered the house and didn't walk over to that area, they wouldn't have a strong visual impact.

If there were guests, they wouldn't likely lift such a large carpet to check the floor.

Before the renovation team arrived, Feng Yi would have to further disguise the floor, but for now, he needed to find a renovation company and handle the procedures.

Finding a renovation company was easy; he had noted a few well-reviewed teams and called to ask when they could start. Since it was just a repair and not a redesign, the work would be simple.

However, when the teams heard about the community, they suggested that Feng Yi first check with the property management to see if renovations were allowed and what level of noise was acceptable.

So, Feng Yi went to the property management office to inquire about renovations.

The property management office was crowded with both property staff and community residents.

The office was far from the river behind the community, so it wasn't as quiet. The staff and residents were speaking loudly and with excitement.

Some residents recognized Feng Yi.

"Hey! Feng Yi, come over! We were just saying that there must have been migratory swans flying over here before, and some might have even stopped, but we didn't see them. They were probably eaten by the big fish in the river!

"That big pike you caught! You thought the same, right? I heard that some pikes can swallow pigeons in the water! With such a large body, swallowing a small swan is possible."

Many residents had seen the fish Feng Yi caught when he saved the two children and remembered him, as he was a memorable young man.

Many residents agreed that the appearance of the swans was related to the disappearance of the pike.

"Feng Yi! If you hadn't caught that big fish, these swans might not have come here. I heard that these birds won't stop if they sense danger. They look for comfortable places to rest during their migration."

"Now that they've stopped here, it means this place is good!"

The group continued discussing the topic, but some still paid attention to Feng Yi.

A property management staff member asked why Feng Yi was there.

Feng Yi explained that he wanted to renovate.

The staff member was hesitant.

"The community just notified us that no renovations are allowed for the next week."

Feng Yi: ???

"No renovations at all?"

Someone nearby overheard the conversation and said, "These days, animals are more precious than people, as long as they don't threaten human safety. Especially wild protected animals!

"And they're swans! We've never seen swans here. Not just young people, but even I, at 40, have only seen the two fat geese at the zoo. Seeing wild swans is so rare!

"Besides, because of these swans, the property prices in Yexiu Community will rise, so..."

The person patted Feng Yi's shoulder, "Don't be upset, think about the property prices!"

Other residents also advised, "Just a week, wait a bit! If you need a place to stay, you can stay at my place!"

Feng Yi replied, "I have a place to stay, I just didn't expect there would be a time limit on renovations. Just a week?"

The staff member responded, "The community notified us that no renovations are allowed for a week. Quiet operations like wallpapering or painting are fine, but anything noisy, like replacing floor tiles or cabinets, is not allowed. Your house is close to the river, so the restrictions are stricter.

"As for when it will be allowed, the community will notify us. It should be fine in about a week, or maybe ten days at most!"

Another resident added, "I saw in the news that experts said these swans are on their way to their wintering grounds and will only stay here for about a week before leaving. They usually pass through other cities near Rongcheng but don't stop here."

Feng Yi thought that Rongcheng wasn't the wintering ground for the swans, so they wouldn't stay for long.

A week is a week.

He would come back to handle the procedures after a week.

At the Rongcheng branch of the United Protection Bureau.

Today, the bureau staff were also busy with the swan incident.

The annual winter migration of migratory birds was about to begin, and the current appearance was a small group affected by the climate and starting early.

The wintering grounds for the young swans were further south than those for the adult swans, and they would stop during their migration. However, this was the first time they had been seen in Rongcheng in many years!

"Which migration route are they on?"

"The eastern and central routes show no abnormalities! Who is responsible for the western route? Have you contacted the team monitoring the western route?"

"They have been contacted! They just replied that due to a cold front, some families of young swans have started their southward migration early and have deviated from their original route! The reason is unknown!"

"How many have deviated from their original route to fly to Rongcheng? Rongcheng is not an important stopover on their migration route, so the number should be small."

"Uh... I'll send you the satellite tracking images they sent over."

Five minutes later.

"Notify the local department to redraw the responsibility zones and send more bird protectors!"

When Feng Yi received the latest notification from the property management, he was on the phone with a renovation team discussing the renovation.

The plan was to start the renovation in a week, and the renovation company would send someone over tomorrow to discuss more details.

However, after the initial discussion, the latest notification told him that a week was out of the question, and he would have to make do for now.

Feng Yi called the renovation company again, "You don't need to come tomorrow."

Feng Yi thought that if the restrictions were upgraded, he would move to the swimming pool, where he would have more freedom.

His weight had already decreased, so he could go swimming!

Thinking about this, Feng Yi went to the scale to weigh himself again.

His body temperature was still high, and he could feel the excess energy from the enhancement continuously dissipating.

The higher body temperature was due to this. Once all the excess energy dissipated, his body temperature would return to normal.

This time, Feng Yi didn't use the commercial scale but his old personal scale.

[98.1 kg]

After experiencing weight gain with every breath, he was now experiencing weight loss with every meal.

Feng Yi was very happy!

He was getting close to his previous weight of 70+ kg!
