Until dawn, Li Mu didn't think of a solution.

At this time, someone on the boat finally found Li Mu missing. Li Mu could vaguely hear the sound of calling him, probably looking for Li Mu to have breakfast.

The most important thing is to eat in the world. Since you want to fight Chen Liqiu, you must first fill your stomach.

Li Mu, who had climbed up from the chimney, was not in the mood to wash up, and just went straight to the restaurant with a undressed face. Sure enough, it attracted Chen Liqiu's harsh scolding: "Where did you go last night? Why don't you rest in the room-"

He heard Chen Liqiu's voice and expressions, but Li Mu sneered in his heart.

Stay in the room?

Stay in the room and wait for you to throw me into the Pacific Ocean to create an illusion of falling into the water?

It seems that it doesn’t have to be done, just giving Li Mu the habit of “sleepwalking” is enough.

Li Mu turned a deaf ear to Chen Liqiu's reprimand, and was embarrassed to eat directly in front of everyone, so he devoted his attention to these "future classmates" in the restaurant.

The children's mentality is relatively pure. Although they probably lack the courage to resist Chen Liqiu, a third-rank official in the court, they should still have sympathy for the weak. Now for Li Mu, Chen Liqiu and the staff of the "Children's Studying Bureau" are unreliable. The only thing Li Mu can rely on is these future classmates. Only by obtaining their help can Li Mu ensure safety during the period of docking.

It’s a pity that things went against our wishes. From the eyes of these "little friends", Li Mu saw gloating, disdain, and indifferent, but not seeing pity and sympathy—

There is one difference, that little fat man, but the little fat man's eyes are full of hatred and has nothing to do with pity and sympathy. If Li Mu asks for help from the little fat man, it is unlikely that the little fat man will help Li Mu, but he may take the initiative to tie up Li Mu and give it to Chen Liqiu.

There was no help from these friends, and this result made Li Mu a little sad.

But it is normal. 24 of the 30 children here are from Guangdong. Li Mu and they are not sociable. In addition, Li Mu's background, it is normal for these children to look down on Li Mu.

It is undeniable that the identity of an orphan has given Li Mu a lot of convenience, but while bringing convenience to Li Mu, it will definitely bring some trouble to Li Mu, such as discrimination by these children.

In fact, people say that children are a piece of white paper, but discrimination among children is very serious because children do not know how to hide it. They regard things as black as black and white as white as white. Being honest is indeed frank enough, but when expressing certain negative emotions, it is also more harmful to sell them directly to others.

From the "same year", Li Mu could only focus on the breakfast in front of him.

The breakfast was still very rich. In addition to the fixed milk and beef, there were eggs and pancakes. Li Mu was not polite this time. When Chen Liqiu finally finished speaking, with the order, Li Mu immediately ate all the things as fast as possible. This behavior was frequently ridiculed by other children.

Li Mu can already ignore this level of eye attack. When people eat, they pay attention to eating fine meat and fine meat. They have to chew it slowly to reflect their demeanor. Except for the little fat man who is still chewing happily, the other people eat slowly like adults, which further highlights Li Mu's alternativeness.

Li Mucai didn't care how other children would think of him. In fact, before boarding the boat, these children were all civilians except the fat boy. They probably had never worn shoes when they were so old. They didn't have to mention chewing slowly when eating. Some of them were good to eat enough. As for the slowness they showed now, even if they were taught by the staff of the "Children's Studying Bureau", they really exuded a strong "phoenix man" atmosphere from the inside out.

After breakfast, Li Mu realized that everyone had to concentrate in a cabin to study the Four Books and Five Classics. Li Mu was not interested in this and used the excuse of not recovering from serious injury, so he asked Old Man Chen for a false statement.

Old Man Chen probably had completely given up on Li Mu and had no intention of retaining him. He waved his hand and let Li Mu take his own way and took a group of "preparatory cadres" to learn the spirit of the documents issued by Emperor Tongzhi.

Li Mu turned around and went to find Mike.

If there is anyone on this ship who can help Li Mu, it is probably Mike.

Mike was having a meal in his own cabin. As a doctor, Mike had a separate cabin, and the layout was similar to that of Old Man Chen. However, Li Mu did not think that this was Old Man Chen's courtesy and politeness. Li Mu even believed that this was Mike's identity as a "foreign master" played a key role.

It was still different from Old Man Chen's room. Mike's room looked a little messy, similar to Mike's hair. The room was thrown everywhere with smelly socks and a strong tobacco smell. The poor tool box was thrown under the table, and a pair of Mike's underwear was thrown on it, which made Li Mu frown a little.

Seeing Li Mu coming, Mike finished his breakfast in three bites and asked Li Mu to sit down and check it thoroughly for Li Mu.

"I'm not here to check your body. I want to come to you to make a deal." Li Mu looked at Mike and smiled maturely.

Li Mu originally wanted to live in Mike's place during this period, even if he was working on the floor, he would have no problem. However, when he entered Mike's room, Li Mu suddenly changed his mind because Li Mu found a gun at Mike's bedside.

That's right, it's a gun, a revolver installed in a quick pull-out holster. Judging from the style of the pistol, this is a Colt 1872 single-handed grab. This type of pistol is the type of revolver that was once popular in American western films. It is also one of Li Mu's favorite pistols. As a gun enthusiast, Li Mu has seen this type of pistol countless times on the Internet, so he can recognize it at a glance.

Colt's 1872 single-action grab is the world's first revolver in the modern sense. It has a bullet capacity of six rounds and a caliber of 11.43 mm. Li Mu didn't take much effort to tell that the gun on the head of Mike's bed was a cavalry model, with a barrel length of 318 mm, which is Li Mu's favorite model.

"What deal?" Mike asked Li Mu with his head tilted, with a lot of exploring in his eyes.

"I want your gun." Li Mu made a request without bending around the bush.

"No, no, this is absolutely impossible. This is what I bought from Colt before I went to Qing Dynasty. It accompanied me around half of the earth. I will not give it to anyone." Mike refused and looked at Li Mu with his eyes full of vigilance.

"Listen, I'm not asking you to give it to me, but I'll pay to buy it, you can offer a price." Li Mu was rich now.

This world is so magical. Just last night, a fat man tried to kill Li Mu with money, but now Li Mu has to kill Mike with money.

But this is the correct economic behavior. As for finance, it is just about moving money, and money only needs to be meaningful when it flows.
