Chapter 2 Who said there’s no toll for time travel?

Slowly opening his eyes, Su Mu felt his whole body was extremely clear and he had an indescribable sense of comfort.

He quickly checked his panel:

[Host: Su Mu]

[Cultivation: Fifth level of Qi training]

[Controlling magical powers: water control, swimming]

[Water Beast Control: None]

[River Control: None]

[River Favor Point: None]

Seeing that his cultivation level had reached the fifth level of Qi training, Su Mu was dumbfounded.

Isn’t it said that cultivation is not easy?

Just by eating a fish, his cultivation level skyrocketed? ?
That fish must be a treasure!

After his cultivation level improved, Su Mu walked to the shore, mobilized the spiritual power in his body, gathered it in his palm, and blasted it towards the river in front of him.

But when the spiritual attack landed on the river, it disappeared instantly, like a drop in the ocean, without even causing the slightest ripple.

Seeing this scene, Su Mu was dumbfounded.

Isn't it? ? ?
So weak?
I just want to catch a fish, is it so difficult?
I am a Qigong practitioner, I just want to catch a few fish, what's wrong with me?
After trying several times without success, Su Mu gave up.

Fortunately, as my cultivation level improved, I no longer felt hungry. I should have reached the legendary semi-fasting state. In other words, I didn't have to worry about starving to death for the time being.

The next second, Su Mu used his "water control" ability and found that he could only control a drop of water!

This made Su Mu doubt his life.

Su Mu plunged into the icy river and began looking for prey, but no matter how hard he looked, he couldn't find a single fish, not even a single hair!

The golden carp just now must be a treasure, and Su Mu plans to find another one.

But I couldn't find any at all. The water was so cold that I swam for less than three hours before I was shivering with cold and had to climb ashore.

At this time, Su Mu prayed devoutly to the river again: "Great river god, I owe you another beautiful girl and another magical fish!"

After that, there was no response.

I begged again, but still no response.

Su Mu was so angry that he scratched his head and cheeks. How did he get trapped in this desolate place?

One month later.

A sallow-faced young man was limping along the river bank, leaning on a dry wooden crutch. His cheekbones were protruding and his eyes were black from hunger.

He overlooked an important factor, which is that it is true that Qigong practitioners can practice semi-fasting, but they also need to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth!

"What a lousy place this is! What a lousy place!"

Su Mu also felt that he was unlucky to have traveled to this hellish place. He could not sense any spiritual power in the air, and the oxygen was very thin.

He had been hungry for a month and was almost hallucinating from hunger.

At this moment, in a trance, he saw a small boat appear in front of him, with a man standing on the boat.

He dropped his crutches, ran toward the boat, and shouted, "Hey, hey, hey! Help!"

However, no matter how I shouted, the other party could not hear me, and it seemed as if he could not even see me.

Su Mu didn't care about all that anymore, he just jumped into the river and swam towards the boat.

On the boat stood a young man wearing casual clothes, a boy's top, Adidas shoes, and Guirenniao pants.

The young man looked confused and let the boat float automatically.

At this moment, he saw a man swimming towards him on the river surface in front of him, and he was startled.

When Su Mu approached the boat, the young man clasped his fists and bowed, saying, "No offense, no offense."

Hearing these words, Su Mu frowned. When he saw the young man's clothes, his pupils shrank and he became alert.

With this attire, could it be that he is from Blue Star just like me? !
Oh my god, I met a protagonist who traveled from the Blue Planet to another world? ?
Su Mu jumped onto the boat, looked at the young man kneeling before him, and asked, "Who are you?"

next second.

The young man looked up at the shirtless man in blue shorts in front of him and replied, "My younger brother, Han Xiaopao, may I ask where is this place?"

"You don't even know where this place is?" Su Mu asked.

"I don't know."

Of course, Han Xiaopao couldn't say that he had traveled through time. As a person from another world, he couldn't reveal his identity to the natives.

"I also want to ask you, where is this place?" Han Xiaopao looked at Su Mu hopefully.

Su Mu shook his head and looked down, and found two big characters written on the board of the boat - "Tian Nan"

"Can't you see the words on it?"

Su Mu pointed to the two big words on the deck and asked.

"can not see it."

"Is there any word?"

Han Xiaopao looked in the direction Su Mu pointed, but didn't see anything there, so he shook his head.

At this moment, the boat is still moving forward automatically.

Su Mu stroked his chin and murmured in his heart:

Could it be that the place this boat is heading to is a place called "Tiannan"?

Exactly!

You can take this strange little boat and leave this small river together.

"Would it be convenient for us to go together?"

"I'm the river keeper here. My boat is broken. This place is too far from the town. It's faster to take a boat."

Su Mu asked.

"alright."

Han Xiaopao didn't refuse and expressed his agreement.

In this way, the two of them sat on the boat and sailed forward along with the flow of the river.

Suddenly, the boat stopped moving.

The two looked at each other.

Su Mu turned around and asked Han Xiaopao, "Brother Han, there seems to be something wrong with your boat?"

Hearing this, Han Xiaopao's heart skipped a beat. In fact, this boat was not his. When he opened his eyes after traveling through time, he was on this boat. Moreover, he could not jump off the boat and was confined to the boat.

He was actually shocked as to how the young man in front of him got on the boat.

At this time, the system's voice sounded in Su Mu's mind [Host, please get off the boat. Host cannot leave this river for the time being. Host, please refine this river before trying again. ]

Hearing this voice, Su Mu felt like crying but had no tears.

Good guy, you force me to guard the river, right?

At this time, Su Mu had an idea, and said to Han Xiaopao: "Brother Han, I know a little bit about repairing. Your boat is not like mine, which is completely rotten. Your boat should have a minor problem."

"But if I help you repair the boat, you have to pay me for the repairs and the crossing fee."

"You know, I'm the river keeper here. All the boats coming and going have to pay a river toll."

Hearing this, Han Xiaopao was dumbfounded.

What? ? ?
Do you have to pay tolls to cross the river now?

Han Xiaopao searched all over his body, and finally found a Snickers bar, handed it to Su Mu and said, "This is the only thing I have."

Hearing this, Su Mu finally realized that this seemed to be the truth.

Han Xiaopao had just traveled through time and didn't have anything valuable on him.

Forget it, this kid has just started traveling through time and he doesn’t even have a golden finger, so he doesn’t have much toll.

However, Su Mu certainly didn't intend to let him go so easily.

"Do you have any paper?"

"What paper? Toilet paper? What? You want to poop?"

"No, paper you can write on."

Han Xiaopao took out a stack of brand new A4 paper from the briefcase at his waist.

Seeing this, Su Mu grabbed all of them and pulled out one.

"Do you have a pen?"

"No."

Su Mu looked at the ink-black river water, stretched out his index finger, dipped it in the water, and began to write something on the A4 paper.

"Then I'll give you a plan."
