The old man also looked puzzled.

"Yeah, that's strange! That sack is still moving. Li Si, go check it out!"

"Alright, village chief!"

Li Si jumped off the dirt road and quickly walked to the riverbank.

He examined it for a moment, then reached out and untied the rope at the top of the sack. He looked inside and his eyes met Lin Mo's!

"My goodness! It's a person!"

Li Si staggered back two steps.

"Who is it?"

The old man frowned slightly.

"Uh, a boy... no, a barbarian!"

"Brother, I am not a barbarian."

Lin Mo, who had already spat out the gag, quickly spoke up to explain.

"Nonsense! With hair this short, how can you not be a barbarian!"

Li Si opened his mouth and questioned.

"I am a monk who has just left the monastic life."

Upon hearing this, Li Si scrutinized Lin Mo closely, but couldn't make up his mind, so he turned to look at the old man.

The old man standing on the road couldn't see what was happening through the sack, so he waved to Li Si:

"Tear the bag off!"

"Yes, Village Chief!"

Li Si swiftly ripped the sack off Lin Mo's body.

When the old man saw the yellow Meituan vest Lin Mo was wearing, he began to believe the story of him returning to secular life as a monk.

In his mind, only royalty or monks could afford to use this kind of yellow fabric.

As for Lin Mo's jeans, although he found them novel, he didn't pay much attention to them. Having lived in the mountains his whole life, there were plenty of things he had never seen before.

The old man's eyes darted around, and he quickly walked up to Lin Mo:

"Hey buddy, what are you doing here?"

"In reply to you, sir, I encountered some villains who robbed me of my travel money and then tied me up. As for why they left me here, I have no idea."

The old man looked at the ropes binding Lin Mo, nodded, and said to Li Si:

"Quickly untie this guy!"

"Okay!"

Li Si immediately stepped forward to untie the rope.

Lin Mo, now free, stood up, stretched, and clasped his hands in a fist salute, saying:

Thank you!

Li Si waved his hand:

"No need to be so polite. It's getting late, and the county town is still thirty or forty li away. You should hurry to the county town to report to the authorities."

Before Lin Mo could speak, the old man beside him interjected:

"That's not advisable. It's getting late, and we're far from the county town. If we encounter wolves or tigers on the road, it would be troublesome. Why don't you rest in the village for the night and continue your journey tomorrow morning?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo secretly pondered:

Judging from the appearance and clothing of these people, this world is most likely ancient.

In my current state, without a travel permit, if I rashly enter the city, I might be mistaken for a spy and arrested.

The safest course of action is to settle down first, get to know the world, and that's the best course of action.

Thinking of this, he spoke:

"Then I'll have to trouble you."

"I won't bother you."

The old man waved his hand.

Lin Mo followed the two into the village, and along the way, the villagers cast curious glances at him.

Lin Mo was also observing them: most of the children were running around naked, and the adults were wearing rough hemp clothes, some even with only a few bundles of straw hanging from their waists, clearly living a very frugal life.

Arriving at a somewhat imposing mud house at the east end of the village, the old man winked at Li Si beside him and said:

"Li Si, we're not going to catch field mice in the next village tonight. You guys should get some rest too!"

Li Si was slightly taken aback, then understood what was going on. He looked at Lin Mo with sympathy and nodded.

"Alright, village chief!"

The old man pushed open the door and shouted at the top of his lungs to the old woman sitting in the yard husking rice:

"Old woman, we have important guests! Quickly start a fire and cook!"

The old lady looked up at Lin Mo, a smile appearing on her wrinkled face. She nodded in acknowledgment, then put down the rice she was holding and got up to prepare a meal.

"Sir, you're too kind. I'm not hungry, so I won't eat. I want to rest early."

Lin Mo quickly waved his hand.

How could he dare to eat at the village chief's house? Putting aside whether the food would taste good or not, what if he got drugged and sold off without even knowing it?

When traveling, one should always be wary of others.

"Young man, are you really not going to eat something before resting?"

"No, sir, I'm really not hungry."

"Alright then, young man, this way please."

A hint of disappointment flashed in the old man's eyes as he led Lin Mo to the east wing.

Lin Mo walked into the room and looked around. The room was very simple, with only a wooden bed covered with straw and no blankets.

"The conditions are meager, I hope you won't mind, young man."

"It's okay, I'm fine."

Lin Mo waved his hand.

He hadn't really planned to stay here; he just wanted to travel back after dark to buy some food and change into dry clothes.

My clothes were still damp and clinging to my body, making me feel really uncomfortable.

"Then please rest for now, young man. But remember not to go out tonight. There have been many bandits lately, and things are not peaceful."

"it is good."

After the door closed and the room quieted down, Lin Mo sat down on the edge of the bed and eagerly tried to activate the system.

A blue control interface appeared before his eyes, and he smirked, realizing it was even harder to control than an AK.

Lin Mo quickly scanned the interface and found that only the icon for World One was lit up, while all the other icons were gray question marks.

Lin Mo immediately clicked on the World One icon.

"Power," "lust," "authority," "wealth," and "military"

Five main characters are prominently displayed at the top.

Each main storyline is further divided into many stages.

For example, "势" represents power or influence.

The achievements, from lowest to highest, are as follows:

From commoner to local tyrant, from small force to regional hegemony, from local power to dominance over prefectures and counties, and finally to unification of the world.

As for "lust," it's about using women to highlight achievements, like killing one person, ten people, a hundred people... and eventually ten thousand.

The same principle applies to "power," "wealth," and "military," progressing from low to high.

Once the final stage is reached, World Two will be able to open.

Currently, Lin Mo has only unlocked the first achievement for each main storyline. It seems that these main storylines are compatible with each other. No matter which one is unlocked, it will not affect the other main storylines. As long as one of the main storylines reaches the highest achievement, the second world can be unlocked.

Having figured out the achievements interface, Lin Mo then clicked on his avatar in the upper right corner to view his personal information.

Lin Mo.

Nineteen years old.

178CM.

20CM.

Strength: Average.

Skills: Portable space, top-level comprehension, and a complete language encyclopedia.

"A personal space?"

Lin Mo tried to communicate using his mind, following the methods he had read in the novels.

The next moment, he felt an endless space appear in his mind.

Lin Mo took out his phone from his pocket, pressed a button and saw that it wasn't wet. With a thought, the phone appeared directly in his mind space.

He tried to take the phone out again, then placed it on the bed without touching it, and tried to put it back into his storage space, but failed.

"Just like in Yang Shizi's novels, the space can only store things that it can touch."

"Can the air be absorbed?"

Lin Mo pondered, trying to draw the surrounding air into the space.

Soon, he felt his personal space gradually filling up.

"It can even take in air, but I don't know if it can take in living things."

Lin Mo muttered to himself, then quickly took in even more air.

He wasn't sure if his landing point would be random when he traveled back in time, or if he would reappear exactly where he left off.

If we're going back to the sea, it's always good to have extra air on hand.

While gathering air, Lin Mo also tried to communicate with the system using his mind:

"System, how do I use this top-tier comprehension?"

The system did not respond.

"It seems this system lacks the ability to communicate."

As for the "Language Encyclopedia," Lin Mo skipped it, as he had relied on it to communicate with the people of this world before.

"Next, we'll wait until they're all asleep before testing the time travel."

Lin Mo muttered to himself as he lay down on the bed.

Night fell quickly.

Listening to the chirping of insects outside the window, Lin Mo had a thought and returned to the main world.

It appeared on the seabed.

Fortunately, he knew how to swim, so he held his breath and struggled to swim upwards.

When his head suddenly popped out of the sea, he realized that it was already completely dark. Looking around, he saw the lights of the tall buildings in the distance flickering, and quickly judged that he was not far from the shore.

Seeing that there were no boats nearby, Lin Mo swam toward the shore.

This trip lasted a full four or five hours. He had to travel back to World One several times to rest before he finally managed to make it through.

When his feet finally touched the sand, he let out a long breath.

"Xu Jiang, I'll remember you. Once I've established myself, the first person I'll kill will be you."

Lin Mo walked to the roadside, cursing and swearing, hailed a taxi, and headed straight for his rented room.

Pushing open the door, Lin Mo noticed light shining through the crack in the door to the other bedroom.

He knew that Bai Xue, the flight attendant he shared an apartment with, had returned!

The other person is very beautiful and works at the nearby airport. They don't see each other often and have basically never spoken.

For some reason, Bai Xue always had an arrogant demeanor, and her eyes were filled with disdain and disgust when she looked at him.

Lin Mo returned to his room, made himself a bowl of noodles, took a shower, and changed into some dry clothes.

He finished off two buckets of pickled cabbage noodles and four sausages before letting out a satisfied burp.

Afterwards, he packed all the snacks, water, and spare clothes in his home into his personal space, then opened Meituan, found a 24-hour shop, spent nearly a thousand yuan to buy a gray, antique-style costume and a wig, and also ordered some food.

While waiting for his takeout, he didn't waste any time. He opened Douyin (TikTok) and carefully learned how to judge the time based on the sun's projection.

After receiving the takeout, Lin Mo stored it in his spatial storage, changed into ancient clothing, and with a thought, traveled back to World Number One.

As soon as they landed, footsteps reached their ears, followed by a loud knocking on the door, and then the old village chief's slightly hoarse voice rang out:

"Hey buddy, are you up yet?"

"Get up."

Lin Mo responded, got out of bed, and opened the door.

"Good that you're up. A martial arts master from a famous sect is coming to my Li Family Manor today to recruit disciples. I wonder if you, young man, would be interested in giving it a try?"

The village chief glanced at Lin Mo's clothes with suspicion. Although he was curious about where they came from, he wisely refrained from asking any further questions.

"A great hero?" Lin Mo was slightly taken aback.

"Yes. The heroes of that sect are all incredibly powerful. If you could become their disciple and learn a move or two to become a martial artist, you would be much safer traveling the martial world in the future."

Hearing the old village chief say this, Lin Mo couldn't help but be tempted.

If I could truly learn martial arts, perhaps I wouldn't have to fear Xu Jiang anymore.

"Does this sect know what the requirements are for accepting disciples?"

"This sect only accepts those who have just come of age, and I think you are the perfect age, young man."

"Then I'll trouble you to take me there, sir."

"No problem, no problem, this way please!"

The old village chief's face immediately lit up with a smile.
