My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 187 Alien Beasts
In the yellow rice field, Chen Mu looked at Old Hao's slightly disheveled figure and couldn't help but sigh.

"I don't want to."

Chen Mu shook his head: "There's no such thing as goodwill without a reason."

"This world that makes people lose all hope..."

Looking at the loot from the Five Ghosts Bag, Chen Mu sighed again.

The loss of these items could be a heavy blow to Mr. Hao and Shang Huan.

It might cause them to go hungry, be unable to pay their grain rations, and fail to train successfully.

"But if we don't teach them a lesson, what if they become even more reckless and run into tough opponents?"

"At that time, what you might lose isn't just money, but your life!"

Chen Musong sighed, "I'm doing this for their own good!"

"I hope you can all be kind and genuine people!"

The thought that he might have created two good people in this world made Chen Mu feel instantly happy.

After Old Hao's figure disappeared over the low hill.

Chen Mu stopped pretending to weed.

He straightened up, and a large plume of black smoke billowed across the fields.

Chen Mu strolled leisurely through the middle of the yellow rice field, and after just one casual walk, all the weeds disappeared.

"Growing yellow sprout rice isn't that difficult, is it?" Chen Mu nodded in satisfaction.

According to his estimate, as long as he can hold out until the autumn harvest, he will definitely be able to meet the grain delivery target.

"Let's go home and cook a big meal!"

……

On the east side of the stone courtyard, the formerly abandoned vegetable garden was leveled by Chen Mu and paved with bluestone flooring.

With logs as pillars and planks as the roof, Chen Mu habitually built a wooden shed.

Under the wooden shed, rocking chairs and low coffee tables are neatly arranged.

After finishing his meal, Chen Mu nestled comfortably in his rocking chair.

Black smoke billowed out, and objects appeared out of thin air.

"A large bag of yellow rice will only last five or six days," Chen Mu said, pursing his lips.

"The dried meat of a strange beast with its muscles knotted together. I wonder what the beast looks like in its entirety. It looks a bit strange." Chen Mu pressed the cured meat and nodded in satisfaction.

"After washing it, I'll try stir-frying some flavorful cured pork tonight."

Then he took out three small cloth bags, turned them over, and poured them onto the low table.

"A total of seventeen white jade coins, this is good!" Chen Mu breathed a sigh of relief. This amount of money was enough for him to eat for four or five months, relieving his immediate crisis.

"In this way, there's no need to rush to ship the Tranquilizing Pill."

This incident involving Mr. Hao has made him somewhat distrustful of the new environment.

"I'll decide after I hear the sermon at the Scripture Institute," Chen Mu thought to himself.

He needed to confirm whether there was a problem with his unity of spirit and soul.

Chen Mu took out a bronze mirror and looked at his face.

Two wavy silver strands were faintly visible between his brows.

"Old Hao's face and arms haven't changed much, and his appetite is still normal. What's wrong with his spirit armor technique?" Chen Mu asked, puzzled.

This is the trouble of having no one to teach you.

"Go to the Scripture Academy and buy some courses?" Chen Mu shook his head.

"I'll go after other outsiders in the same field have gone."

"Never be the first to stick your neck out."

Chen Mu looked at the skill panel again, and the seventh-tier spirit armor technique was still increasing its proficiency by one point every hour without fail.

"I just ate a little too much and feel a bit heavy, but it's nothing serious," Chen Mu shrugged.

The fact that the cheat software is approved at least shows that the approach is not wrong.

"This is all that's left." A palm-sized brown leather wristband appeared in Chen Mu's hand.

This thing came from Shang Huan's left wrist.

Chen Mu didn't pay attention at first, but the pattern on the wristband caught his eye.

Black star-shaped threads connect and encircle the entire leather wrist.

Similar items can be found on white jade coins.

"A magical artifact?" Chen Mu shook his head regretfully.

Without the corresponding incantation, even a magical artifact is useless.

"I'll ask around when I have time." Chen Mu put it away.

After resting and drinking tea under the wooden shed for a while, Chen Mu got up and headed to the Huangya Rice Field.

The proficiency level of planting skills has exceeded nine thousand.

"We can't afford to reduce the yield of the yellow sprout rice that we've worked so hard to grow."

"First, upgrade the planting to level two."

"If it works well, I'll rent a few more acres," Chen Mu thought to himself.

"All the yellow rice we grow is stored in the cellar." He dug the cellar on the first day he moved into the courtyard.

"I don't feel at ease unless I have a thousand or so kilograms of grain with me."

……

With the sponsorship of Hao Lao and Shang Huan, Chen Mu once had twenty-six white jade coins.

Even though his appetite was increasing day by day, Chen Mu remained calm.

Every day I go to the fields to plant crops, harvest yellow rice, and practice my planting skills.

Even the sermons at the Bible Institute, which I had been looking forward to, were not as anticipated as before.

Mr. Hao came several more times after that.

Seeing Chen Mu's down-to-earth and practical approach, deeply rooted in the world of yellow rice fields, they lost interest in guiding Chen Mu to sell his treasures.

They just hoped that Chen Mu could cultivate the yellow rice field well so that he could receive the bonus as soon as possible.

With no one to bother him, no worries about food or drink, and steady progress in his Spirit Armor Technique, Chen Mu's life was unusually stable.

……

Two weeks later, under the pavilion at night, Chen Mu nestled in a rocking chair and looked at the stars.

The night sky in this world is exceptionally clear.

At night, you can look up and see a sky full of stars.

Not only were there many, but they were also extremely bright. They twinkled and were filled with a mysterious and profound meaning.

Chen Mu stared blankly at the night sky, but his right hand kept moving, tossing fasting pills into his mouth like candy beans.

"If we can't make the original Bigu Pill, how about we make a 4.0 version Bigu Pill?" Chen Mu pondered.

He doesn't know how to turn yellow sprout rice into a fasting pill.

But he still has ideas about turning yellow sprout rice into Bigu Pill 4.0.

"Mixing it with exotic beast meat might actually work."

Just as I was thinking, a sudden realization came to my mind.

Chen Mu suddenly stopped chewing the fasting pills.

He drew out the gray walls.

Cooking skill: 5/10000/Tier 4;

Just as he was pondering the Bigu Pill, his cooking skills naturally broke through to the fourth level.

He finally learned the names of the ingredients in the Bigu Dan (a fasting pill).

"The essence of the five grains?" Chen Mu shook his head and chuckled.

"What I couldn't figure out with medicine, I actually figured out with cooking. Heh..."

"That's a misconception."

Ultimately, Bigu Dan (a type of fasting pill) is just a kind of food.

"Unfortunately, we still can't refine it." Chen Mu shook his head.

The fourth-level cooking skill only allowed him to identify the ingredients, but not the extraction method.

"The Scripture Transmission Academy might have it," Chen Mu said thoughtfully.

"I don't want to think about it anymore, let's plant the yellow sprout rice first."

Just as he was thinking this, Chen Mu suddenly paused and turned to look in the direction of the courtyard gate.

"Exotic beast?"

The ghostly paper figures floating in the fields brought back a strange scene.

A group of uninvited guests barged into the yellow rice field.

It had a body the size of a calf, dark and shiny fur, and horns like branching tree limbs. Its muscles were even more bulging and exaggerated than those of a bodybuilder from my previous life.

"This is... a sheep?"

……

“Deer-antlered black sheep, they eat a lot and grow fast.” Old Hao marveled as he looked at the row of black sheep lying on the ground.

"Luckily you discovered it in time, otherwise you could have ruined two acres of yellow rice overnight."

"Two large and three small, enough to sell for two white jade coins, you're really lucky." Old Hao looked at Chen Mu with envy.

Chen Mu chuckled: "Is this edible?"

"You're not planning to exchange the money?" Old Hao looked at Chen Mu in surprise.

"They are edible, but some people deliberately raise these strange beasts to slaughter and sell for money."

"But...but these are two white jade coins!"

Chen Mu smiled and said, "It's okay, I just want to try it out."

Since we're going to spend money to buy the beast meat anyway, we might as well just eat it.

Want to try out two white jade coins?

I want it too!

Old Hao looked at Chen Mu with a complicated expression.

"This guy is fucking lucky!"
