My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 30 Bone Transformation
As soon as Chen Mu finished shouting, a group of people immediately surrounded him.

"can it be cheaper?"

"Yes, yes, your fish smells bad..."

"Twenty copper coins is the most!"

"Buy it if you want, or get lost!" Chen Mu shouted deliberately in a rough voice.

"Give me one!"

"Three strips! Here's the money!"

"Line up, line up, buy one by one! Otherwise, get out of here!" Chen Mu waved his hand and shouted.

Thirty copper coins can now only buy three catties of white wheat.

This is salt-cured meat, and each piece weighs almost two pounds.

Thirty copper coins are very cheap.

No matter how much he shouted, the crowd continued to surround him and make a ruckus.

"You dare steal!" Chen Mu reached out and grabbed one of his hands. With a snap, he dislocated the wrist.

Hey!
A scream rang out, startling the people nearby!
"Line up! If you cause any more trouble, don't blame me for being impolite!" Chen Mu roared fiercely.

The man with the dislocated wrist was a dark-skinned, thin middle-aged man with a slick, oily face.

At this moment, it was clutching its wrists and howling, its eyes fixed on Chen Mu, yet it wasn't running away?!

"What, you trying to extort me?" Chen Mu wasn't going to put up with him.

Grab his arm, and with a snap, his shoulder is dislocated.

The dark-skinned, thin middle-aged man turned pale with pain. When he met Chen Mu's fierce gaze, he quickly shrank back, bent over, and turned to run away.

The people around immediately stopped making a fuss.

They lined up one by one to buy fish.

The small half-basket of smoked salted fish sold out quickly.

"Will you still sell them tomorrow?" someone couldn't help but ask.

"It depends on my mood," Chen Mu replied nonchalantly.

Ignoring everyone's questions, he picked up his bamboo basket and strode away.

They disappeared into the alley and immediately started running.

After making several turns and making sure no one was following them, they quickly went home.

"A small half-basket, more than thirty fish, and more than nine hundred copper coins."

"Hey, that's almost a tael of silver." Chen Mu counted the copper coins with a smile.

This is also thanks to the soaring prices in Qingshan County.

Normally, fish meat wouldn't sell for this price.

"From now on, when we catch fish, we'll only keep the live ones; the dead ones can be sold in the East Market," Chen Mu pondered.

With the fish baited and poisoned, he won't lack fish to eat for a long time to come.

"We need to buy two more water tanks. To store more live animals."

……

With food and meat readily available, there's no need to panic.

Ignore the chaos and disturbances outside.

Chen Mu once again secluded himself to practice his skills.

Chen Mu brought up the gray wall and reviewed his skills.

Writing: 1532/10000/Second order;

Drawing: 1402/10000/Second order;

Throw: 4353/10000/Tier 3;

Red Falcon Form Training Technique: 8539/10000/Second Tier;

Cooking skill: 5626/10000/Tier 1;
Pharmaceutical Arts: 1152/10000/Second Tier;

Hidden Blade: 4059/10000/Tier 1;
"The Form Refinement Technique is more than 1,500 points away from mastery. It will take about 20 days."

"Although the hidden sword is 6,000 less proficiency, it is only at level one, so it levels up faster."

"The third-tier throwing skill is sufficient for now, so we can appropriately reduce the daily training time for Flying Locust Stones."

"Focus on physical training, followed by hidden sword techniques, and reduce the allocation of energy to other skills as appropriate."

Having made up his mind, Chen Mu began to immerse himself in practicing his skills.

……

Nine days later, all the live fish had been eaten.

Chen Mu prepared to go fishing.

This time, they changed to a deep-water river bend.

He had already put out the bait two days in advance to attract more fish.

He changed into old gray-brown clothes and painted his hands and neck with brown paint.

He also covered half of his face with a special blue potion.

Looking at his face in the bronze mirror, Chen Mu saw a yin-yang hue: one side a sun-kissed bronze, the other a bluish birthmark. He smiled with satisfaction.

"Please call me Yang Zhi, the Blue-Faced Beast."

He habitually hides himself.

I never want to be noticed by others.

"It's a pity that we're still missing a peerless treasure sword."

"Well, this short sword will do."

With a flick of the wrist, the long and short swords disappeared into the sleeve.

Now, I'm more than half proficient in using the hidden sword technique.

He became increasingly adept at concealing his sword.

Even if someone grabbed his arm at this moment, they wouldn't be able to find where the sword was hidden.

With everything prepared, Chen Mu, carrying the bait and two bamboo baskets on a shoulder pole, quietly left the city.

at dusk.

Chen Mu adjusted his two baskets, which were full of fish, and headed home.

First, put the live fish into the water tank to keep them alive.

Carry the remaining dead fish to the East Market.

They just yelled and started selling.

Prices are soaring and meat is scarce.

A small basket of fresh fish was sold out in no time.

"Fisherman, will you be back tomorrow?"

"It depends on my mood!" Chen Mu laughed nonchalantly, picked up the bamboo basket, and quickly disappeared.

……

Solve the problem of meat sourcing.

Things aren't peaceful outside.

Chen Mu became increasingly reluctant to go out.

Half a month later, accompanied by a series of popping sounds like beans being fried, the Body Refinement Technique smoothly broke through to the third level.

The muscles throughout the body rolled and adjusted again.

Strength will increase by at least 30%.

Bone density increases, making them as hard as stone.

My weight also increased.

He estimated that it weighed at least 230 kilograms.

However, he appears to be a 1.77-meter-tall, lean young man.

"This is the Bone Transformation Realm?"

Chen Mu suddenly swayed and disappeared from the spot.

He didn't feel like he exerted any force.

Humans are like flywheels with enormous inertia.

It was flung more than ten meters away in a flash.

If he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have almost plunged headfirst into the wall.

"The speed is at least twice as fast as before!"

"At this speed, ordinary people can't even see it."

I recall the first time I met that constable, Lu.

The opponent's step was five or six meters.

Now he can do it easily, and he can even run faster and longer.

"Hey! With my size and speed, I can go to a more distant bend in the river and catch even more fish!"

"I'll eat half myself and sell the other half for money. How wonderful!"

Pan-fried fish chunks, stir-fried fish maw, fish head with chopped chili peppers, and a secret-recipe fish ball soup.

Chen Mu prepared a large feast of whole fish for himself.

I ate lunch slowly and deliberately until about 2 p.m.

Clean up the pots and pans, and take a short break.

I wanted to continue grinding for proficiency.

The hidden sword is also nearing the breaking point.

After thinking about it, I decided to hold back.

Being too addicted is also not good.

After changing into a clean gray-white outfit, I strolled towards the Bafang Building in Anlefang.

He hasn't left the house for seven or eight days.

……

While passing by Dongshi, I was surprised to find a lot of funeral paper money on the ground.

Many of those killed by rebel soldiers and bandits two months ago were to be buried outside the east gate of the county town. It was normal to find funeral paper money on the ground.

However, as the defeated troops scattered and turned into mountain bandits, the town of Qingshan has become stable.

When paper money reappeared on the streets of Dongshi, Chen Mu had a bad feeling.

Bafanglou.

As usual, I bought a pot of tea and a plate of melon seeds, then sat in a corner to listen to the news.

"Did someone else get hurt last night?"

"Yes, their bodies are withered and emaciated, just like dried-out salted fish!"

"That's so weird!"

"I've heard of people even strangling themselves to death!"

"It must be the work of evil spirits."

"Keep your voice down, what if you attract that thing?"

Chen Mu listlessly cracked open some sunflower seeds, his brows furrowed tightly: "An evil spirit?!"

This thing is truly unsolvable.

My memories of my past life are filled with these strange legends, which I've heard more or less throughout my life.

But I've never encountered it before, so I haven't paid much attention to it.

"No, maybe we've already run into each other." Chen Mu's expression suddenly turned grim.

When he was resurrected in another body, the original body had already died mysteriously!

That is very likely the work of evil spirits.
