My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 177 Set sail
Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat when he saw Bai Miaojin.

"They managed to escape after all."

Seemingly sensing Chen Mu's gaze, Bai Miaojin turned around.

Chen Mu controlled his gaze, and like an ordinary passerby, he exchanged a glance with the other person.

She immediately showed a hint of surprise at his figure, then casually looked away.

Then, following the crowd, I casually strolled through the streets of Shirosu.

"So what if they escaped? It's none of my business anymore."

He wanted to avenge his arrest, but he couldn't.

Bai Miaojin is manageable, but Cui Cui, who has regained her original form, is much more difficult to deal with.

"Anyway, it was Sun Dawang who made those harsh remarks, it has nothing to do with me," Chen Mu thought leisurely.

He wasn't afraid of the other party causing trouble.

Transformation Technique: 27/10000/Tier 4;

Chen Mu looked at the gray wall with a chuckle: "Find me first, then we'll talk."

"A fourth-tier shapeshifting technique? I'd be surprised if this still managed to find me!"

……

November 5th, 642nd year of the Great Liang Dynasty.

The departure date for the white silkworm has arrived.

More than a hundred people stood scattered at the very front of the white shuttle.

There is a giant transparent wall there, from which you can clearly see the sea outside the White Snail.

The White Tortoise is a rare and powerful species of tortoise with a snow-white shell and a bright red head. It is born with the ability to control water and fire. The White Tortoise Shuttle is made from its shell.

The forelimbs and head area of ​​the white cricket were originally at the very front.

The flesh and blood were removed and filled and sealed with a special transparent material, forming a large transparent window, like a glass curtain wall.

"How come you're missing an arm!" Tu Shan stood before Cheng Yi, his face contorted with grief and indignation. "It's a pity I wasn't there, otherwise..."

Cheng Yi replied coldly, "Otherwise, you could have taken the opportunity to kill me and steal my Thousand Machine Token, right?"

Tu Shan looked at Cheng Yi with disbelief: "You have a very deep misunderstanding of me!"

He glanced at Tu Shan with sincerity: "Your skin has gotten even thicker!"

Tu Shan grinned: "I learned it from your junior brother."

Cheng Yi was taken aback: "You've met Cheng Ming?"

"That's right, he's far more skilled than you." Tu Shan clicked his tongue in amazement: "He actually managed to fight me to a draw?"

Cheng Yi immediately frowned. A child who was only a little over ten years old?
"That person is not my junior brother!" he said with absolute certainty.

"That's impossible." Tu Shan shook his head in disbelief: "He has a bell exactly like yours, how could he not be your junior brother!"

Cheng Yi's pupils suddenly contracted, and his face instantly turned ashen: "Where did you see him?"

Tu Shan tilted his head and looked Cheng Yi up and down: "Tsk tsk...something's not right with you..."

"That bell, did he steal it from you?"

Cheng Yi narrowed his eyes and remained silent.

"Oh ho! Your arm, you didn't cut it off by him, did you?" Tu Shan's eyes widened.

His sincere face immediately darkened.

Tu Shan immediately laughed gleefully.

"It seems that person really isn't your junior brother." Tu Shan then suggested with a smile, "How about we join forces to take him down?"

Not far away, Chen Mu paused involuntarily as he peeled roasted chestnuts.

"Discussing how to mess with me right in front of me?" Chen Mu narrowed his eyes.

He secretly took out the Heartless Bell, and the ghostly black smoke transformed into a large megaphone aimed at Tushan.

hum!
Tu Shan's expression froze for a moment, then quickly transformed into a lewd grin. His whole body trembled violently, and he grinned widely: "Oh... ho ho ho... ha ha ha... hiss hiss hiss..."

Sincerity: "..."

What the hell is wrong with you!
He immediately moved two steps to the side without making a sound, and moved far away from Tushan.

"It's not what you think..." Tu Shan quickly explained.

hum!
"Oh ho ho ho..."

Tu Shan: "..." I didn't want to either!

Stared at by more than a hundred people with strange looks, even Tu Shanxin, with his black heart and thick skin, couldn't help but feel his face tighten.

Seeing that the effect was about to wear off and fearing a resurgence, it immediately glared angrily at its surroundings and shouted, "I surrender!"

hum!
"Oh ho ho ho..."

Chen Mu: “…”

Sorry, I couldn't stop myself.

Watching Tu Shan dance around with a beaming smile, Chen Mu contentedly popped a roasted chestnut into his mouth.

Then, he slowly looked up at the transparent curtain wall.

With a soft hum, the white shuttle slowly sank towards the seabed.

Looking at the ever-rising Shouyang Mountain, Chen Mu couldn't help but feel a slight sense of reluctance.

"This journey is uncertain, and we don't know if we will be able to return."

The White Silkworm only comes once every hundred years, and it's uncertain whether it will survive until then. "It's highly likely it won't be coming back," Chen Mu sighed.

"I wonder what will become of old man Jiejia in the future?"

He immediately shook his head and chuckled, "Mind your own business!"

Jie Jia is no ordinary person; if he gets into trouble, the other party might not be.

……

He glanced at the crowd nearby and, besides Tu Shan and Cheng Yi, he also saw Wu Yin and Zuo Sheng.

Aside from those born with innate Daoist talent, these hundred-plus people either possess extraordinary abilities or have miraculous bloodlines.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to cultivate the Armor Soul and seize the Thousand Machine Token.

Thinking about what these people would be like in the next ten or twenty years, Chen Mu's expression turned strange.

"Will all the heroes of the past have to end up like me, mining and farming for others?"

Thinking about it this way, Chen Mu's somewhat aggrieved mood immediately eased.

"Compared to myself, these people are the ones who are truly frustrated. Heh..." Chen Mu shook his head and chuckled.

"Where is Chao Fang?"

"He also disguised himself?"

Chen Mu looked around but didn't see any familiar figures. He then shook his head and stopped trying to find out more.

Although fighting is forbidden within the White Silk Shuttle, problems can be addressed by going to the arena.

But it is an enclosed space after all. If someone is determined to cause trouble, there is nowhere to run away.

"The key is to arrive at Jilong Mountain safely." Chen Mu glanced once more at the increasingly deep sea. Then he turned and walked back to his room.

"Let's think about how to spend these three to five months."

……

Three days later, inside the White Silk Shuttle, at the Xianxian Teahouse.

The teahouse was spacious; the lobby on the first floor alone was the size of two basketball courts. There were even three storytelling stages.

The teahouse is open 24/7, and every time I come in, it's always at least half full.

Chen Mu found a secluded corner to sit down and casually ordered a pot of tea and a plate of snacks.

This little thing cost him twelve taels of silver.

"That's really expensive!" Chen Mu exclaimed.

In the few days since he boarded the ship, besides being awestruck by the sheer size and luxury of the White Nag-Shuttle, his most immediate impression was that everything was expensive.

A meal like this can't be eaten without spending twenty or thirty taels of silver.

If you want to eat well, the prices are sky-high.

"Luckily, I prepared the fasting pills in advance." Chen Mu was relieved.

"I also want to thank Wu Yin," Chen Mu thought with a chuckle.

Without the tens of thousands of taels of silver he contributed, he really wouldn't have the confidence to wander around here.

……

Chen Mu poured himself a cup of tea and sipped it slowly, his ears perked up as he listened intently to the conversations around him.

Two men dressed in brown, close-fitting clothes caught his attention just across the table.

One of them had a scar on his left cheek that ran from the corner of his eye to his chin, making him look quite fierce.

He frowned and looked at his companion: "How much longer are we going to drift at sea?"

My companion was a man with small eyes and a big nose. He had one foot on the ground and the other on a chair. He listened to the storyteller while leisurely eating sunflower seeds.

"Don't rush, I heard there are still two places left to visit, and we'll be able to reach Yunzhou in another three to five months."

"Not in a hurry? We've been at sea for a year, and our money is almost gone. How can I not be in a hurry?"

"If we don't get to the right place soon, I'll have to go fight in the ring to make money," the scarred man said with a look of frustration.

"Then you go." The little-eyed girl glanced sideways at her companion.

Scarface said dejectedly, "I dare not!"

"What kind of monsters are on this ship? They're all ruthless and incredibly powerful."

The small-eyed man shook his head and cracked sunflower seeds: "Each island only takes in about a hundred people. If they're not monsters, can they even get on the ship?"

Scarface was even more depressed.

"I wish I had the same kind of Taoist bones," the scarred man said enviously. "Free food, drinks, and entertainment all in one go. Sigh..."

"Go back to sleep early, you can dream about anything."

"roll!"

Chen Mu raised an eyebrow upon hearing this: "The prices at Bai Que Suo are so high?"

"It seems we underestimated the prices here." Those who can afford to come up here are all well-off.

With over 40,000 taels of silver in hand, Chen Mu thought he was quite wealthy: "I need to plan my expenses."

"Moreover, Daliang is an... island?!" Chen Mu was astonished.

He has been in Daliang for four years, but he hasn't even left Nanyang Prefecture.

Such a large place is called an island.

"How big must Yunzhou be?" Chen Mu wondered excitedly.
