Traveling through time and space to achieve a well-off life with your family

On the other side, Cheng Mo did not return to the office directly after leaving. He was always thinking about the previous commission to build a ship for Xiongtai, and he didn't know how the progress was, so he turned around and walked quickly towards the woodworking factory where Xiongtai was.

"Xiongtai, are you in there?" Cheng Mo walked into the woodworking factory. Everywhere he looked were sawdust and wood, but there was no sign of an orc.

"What a vicious stage!" Cheng Mo raised his voice and shouted again. At this moment, a fierce quarrel suddenly came from inside.

"I told you this kind of wood won't work! You didn't believe me!"

"What's the point of you talking now! Have you ever seen the oak and pine trees mentioned in the book?!"

"I've never seen it before! But I know this kind of wood won't work! If you don't believe me, you must try it!"

"Me! I'm just suggesting it! How do you know if you don't try?!"

"Humph!"

As soon as Cheng Mo stepped into the house, he saw two orcs arguing over a piece of wood, while Xiongtai stood aside silently looking at the wood.

Cheng Mo muttered in his heart: "What's going on with them?" So he walked up to them and asked: "What happened? What are you arguing about?"

After hearing the sound, the two orcs who were in a bad mood turned to look at Cheng Mo. One of them came over and pointed at the wood on the ground with an embarrassed look and said, "City Lord, you are here! Come and help us take a look. The boat made of this wood is leaking too badly, but we can't find the oak and pine mentioned in the tree for a while! What can we do to prevent this kind of wood from leaking? Can we only use the wood mentioned in the book? But is there anything special about pine and oak?"

After hearing this, Cheng Mo walked over and carefully examined the wood on the ground, but he was not particularly familiar with these woods and could not see anything unusual. Helplessly, he could only shake his head and said, "Sorry, I am not very familiar with wood, but I do know a little about pine wood. I can look for it when I leave the city."

"It's okay, City Lord. We don't know pine wood, so we can only try several kinds of wood. However, these woods are not only heavy, but also very easy to rot when placed in water. The book only says that it can be waterproof if painted, but it doesn't explain what paint is at all!" An orc said helplessly, spreading his hands.

"Well, I know something about this. You can first pour some hemp tendons and putty into the wood cracks, and then apply a layer of tung oil, so that water can prevent it from seeping in." Cheng Mo pointed to the wood on the ground and continued to ask: "But where did this wood come from?"

"Well... I'm not sure. It was transported back from the collection area, and we don't know exactly what kind of wood it is." Xiongtai, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.

"Xiongtai, if you really can't build a big ship, you might as well make some smaller wooden boats or rafts and try out the effects during the drill." Cheng Mo suggested.

"Mayor, didn't you say before that the ship was built for going out to sea? Wouldn't that wooden boat be a little small?" Xiongtai asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Cheng Mo's heart tightened, and he suddenly realized that the excuse he used to ask Xiongtai to build a ship was that he wanted to go to sea! He couldn't help but feel a little regretful. How could he forget such an important thing?

"Ahem!" Cheng Mo cleared his throat, trying to hide his embarrassment, then waved his hand and said, "This... isn't this a disaster education class we're conducting recently? I think that people may not understand the content in the book enough, so it's better to practice it in practice, so that we can better deal with possible disasters."

"Indeed, the book says that it is not advisable to talk about war on paper!" said an orc, shaking his head.

"Yo~ You've done well in your cultural studies!" Another orc patted the orc's shoulder and teased him with a wink.

"That's right! I study very hard!" the orc answered proudly.

"Tsk! I don't know who it is, but he was caught dozing off in the cultural class by the teacher!" Another orc mercilessly exposed the other's shortcomings.

"You! Why do you always like to go against me!" the orc retorted angrily.

The two of them talked back and forth, causing the people around them to laugh. Cheng Mo looked at them and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, these orcs did not continue to ask questions, otherwise he really didn't know how to explain.

At night, Cheng Mo, who had just finished dinner, looked at Ban Mu who was washing dishes and suddenly said, "Ban Mu... have you ever thought about going back?"

Hearing the voice, Banmu turned around in confusion, his eyes revealing a hint of puzzlement: "Go back? Where to?"

Cheng Mo looked away, rubbed his neck, and replied seemingly casually: "Return to Tianwaitian... and become the Beast God."

Ban Mu frowned, put down the items in his hands, washed the foam off his hands and walked towards Cheng Mo. He squatted in front of Cheng Mo, lowered his head sadly and asked: "You... don't like me anymore? Why... do you want to drive me away?"

"!!!" This was the first time Cheng Mo saw such a pitiful expression on Banmu's face. In the past, Banmu always had a blank expression! Although Banmu had shown various expressions when he was with him, this pitiful little cat-like look was the first time he appeared!

Cheng Mo was instantly mesmerized and couldn't help but hold Ban Mu's cheeks and put her forehead against his, saying softly: "How is it possible! I like you so much! I wish I could tie you to my waist and go out with you!"

"Really? Then why do you want me to go back to Tianwaitian..." Ban Mu felt more and more aggrieved, and raised his eyes slightly to glance at Cheng Mo.

Cheng Mo explained in a panic: "No, no, no! It's not what you imagined! I didn't mean that at all! I'm just worried that you've been away from Tianwai Tian for a long time. If Tianwai Tian isn't guarded by gods, then even if something happens, you won't have time to go back, right?"

"It's okay. Tianwai Tian is guarded by the will of the world. If any danger really happens, it will definitely tell me the first time!" Ban Mu sighed softly and slowly stretched out his hands, trying to hug Cheng Mo. However, as there were still some water droplets on his hands, he finally just touched Cheng Mo's hand and quickly let go.

Seeing this, Cheng Mo hurriedly grabbed Ban Mu's hand and apologized sincerely: "I'm sorry! Ban Mu, I said I won't leave you again! That's not what I said just now, you must believe me!"

Ban Mu nodded and hugged Cheng Mo tightly. However, where Cheng Mo couldn't see, the aggrieved look on his face instantly turned into a smug look. He thought to himself, "I didn't expect that what the high priest taught me was really useful! Xiao Mo really took the initiative to hold my hand!"
