After finalizing the time with Xiangling, Bai Mo, with about ten hours left on the countdown, decided to casually stroll around Liyue Harbor.
Liyue Harbor was quite large. Bai Mo started from Chihu Rock, listened to a storytelling session by Tea Master Liu Su at Heyu Teahouse, and even caught a performance by the renowned opera diva Yun Jin from the Yun-Han Opera Troupe.
After enjoying the storytelling, he leisurely descended the stairs and bought some ingredients like potatoes, sugar, and cheese, as well as local specialties such as Cor Lapis and Noctilucous Jade from Changshun's sundry stall to take back with him.
He then headed to the harbor stalls and purchased a variety of fruits like apples, Sunsettias, and Sweet Flowers. He even managed to buy two crates of Fonta from Fontaine and some high-quality Chenyu Vale tea from Qiaoying Village. Just five taels of the tea cost him over 20,000 Mora.
Indeed, whether in Donghuang or Liyue, fine tea was always highly sought after!
After spending the remaining tens of thousands of Mora in his possession on these purchases, Bai Mo finally ascended to Yujing Terrace in Liyue, gazing at the distant sunset.
Looking further at the Yuehai Pavilion, he couldn't help but shake his head and recite a verse:
"The celestial city of white jade, twelve towers and five walls. The immortal lays a hand upon my head, bestowing the gift of eternal life."
"Eternal life… the great path countless people spend their lives searching for—perhaps I've already stepped onto it."
Playing with the smooth Vision in his hand, Bai Mo smiled wryly and shook his head.
He wasn't sure whether the Vision would function in other worlds, but as an external organ for manipulating elemental energy, it should still have some use.
His original self had been practicing martial arts with the Hokuto Shinken magnetic field combat system granted by the system. Now, with the Vision bestowed by Morax, was he being set on the path of the legendary magic-martial dual cultivation?
Well, so be it. The prowess of the God of War, Morax—Bai Mo couldn't say he didn't harbor ambitions to surpass it!
Threading the Vision onto a red cord he had just bought, Bai Mo hung it directly around his neck. Even if the Vision's elemental manipulation powers were ineffective in other worlds, the extradimensional space within it should still work, right?
After all, he had stored all the ingredients he bought inside the Vision—the system's storage space was just too small.
As Bai Mo left Yujing Terrace, a figure quietly vanished from the spot.
With time running short, Bai Mo didn't plan to return to Wangsheng Funeral Parlor to bid farewell to Hu Tao and the others.
Thanks to the system's power, he could return to this world the very next second. So what was the point of farewells? It was only a temporary parting, after all.
Thus, as he leisurely made his way back toward Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, Bai Mo vanished from the spot.
He was back.
Looking at his familiar bedroom, Bai Mo wasn't surprised. Holding his breath, he raised his right hand and channeled energy through the Vision hanging around his neck.
Geo energy gathered, and an irregular stone materialized in his palm.
It seemed the Vision could still manipulate elemental energy in other worlds!
That was the second piece of good news—he no longer had to worry about the system's limited storage space for now!
Although the Vision's space wasn't infinite, Bai Mo estimated it to be at least a thousand cubic meters, which was more than enough for general use.
He didn't take out all the ingredients stored in the Vision. Returning to modern society with his enhanced sense of smell, Bai Mo, after adapting from the pollution-free environment of Teyvat, immediately wanted to move.
He currently lived in Shinjuku, not too far from Midnight Diner, which made it convenient for him to receive the owner's care.
But the place was less than three kilometers away from Shinjuku's garbage incineration plant in a straight line. The stench Bai Mo had just detected came from there.
The old Bai Mo might have tolerated it, but could he really endure living surrounded by garbage all the time?
If possible, he'd rather move out of Tokyo and live in the countryside, surrounded by mountains and forests.
It seemed he needed to carefully consider a new place to live.
Checking the calendar and clock on the wall, Bai Mo thought back to what he had been doing before the穿越. After a quick shower and change of clothes, he left his room.
In one week, he would be attending the entrance ceremony for the newly merged Private Sakuragaoka Academy. Although the shop owner had already helped him purchase the uniform, as the only overseas transfer student this year, Bai Mo still had a pile of procedures to complete.
Originally, due to declining birthrates, Private Sakuragaoka Academy had merged with several other schools: Haneoka Girls' Academy, Private Sakurasou Academy High School, Private Sakuragaoka Girls' High School, and Shuwa High School.
Several of these schools had previously been all-girls institutions. After becoming co-ed, there would undoubtedly be a lot of adjustments to make.
Except for the students of Private Sakurasou Academy High School, who didn't need to change locations, the upperclassmen from the other schools would have to attend classes at the new campus, which would require adaptation from those who hadn't transferred.
But none of this concerned Bai Mo. As a new student, it made no difference to him.
However, since he had originally applied to Shuwa High School back in Donghuang, some of his paperwork needed to be updated due to the merger.
He had already arranged to meet with the school's guidance teacher that afternoon to sort things out.
Since he hadn't yet obtained his motorcycle license in Japan, Bai Mo had no choice but to opt for the most common mode of transportation for Japanese people—the train.
