I'm Really Going to Become an Immortal

Back at home.

Chen Yun placed his backpack neatly away.

Then hurriedly grabbed the old cell phone he used to record the changes in his body.

[Second Record: 2024.2.29 (the 20th day of the first lunar month)]

[New physical changes discovered today]

[1: Discovered extraordinary sense of smell, surpassing that of humans like physical strength, capable of perceiving this complex world solely by scent. Simple smell tracking tests have been conducted with excellent results.]

[2: Memory enhancement noted, recollections are clearer than before, suggesting the brain may have also been enhanced to some degree.]

[Summary: The evolution of my body is making me increasingly unlike a human, but I want to adhere to my character. It is I who embrace evolution, not evolution guiding me.]

After recording these things,

Chen Yun sat on the sofa, falling into silence.

It was now around eleven o'clock, and the aroma of food wafted intermittently from the windows of nearby homes.

Chen Yun, who did not need to eat, was somewhat lost at the moment.

If he wasn't eating at mealtime, what should he do?

If he went to read novels or binge-watch shows for entertainment, he couldn't let go of his focus on the changes in his body.

He couldn't fully immerse himself in play.

If he were to concentrate on the changes in his body, for the time being, he also didn't know what to do next.

This kind of mood was common.

It was that feeling of wanting to be busy but not knowing what to be busy with.

Fortunately, he had already recorded the changes in himself.

And had done a simple planning and summary of what needed to be done.

Although those plans weren't immediately actionable,

some things still could be done right now.

Reviewing the plans in the memo, they were roughly as follows:

[1: Try to investigate the cause of the changes in the body.

2: Learn and cultivate professional exercise habits. This can help explore the changes in the body and make better use of the existing physique.

3: Keep long-term records of body changes, and update "Memo - Online Literature Creation Ideas" in real time.

4: Explore and research more unknown changes lurking in the body. (including monitoring whether the lack of sleep can be confirmed as a change in the body, and conducting in-depth research on the changes in resistance to impacts and the ability to withstand extreme temperatures)

5: Look for unknown sources of energy replenishment, and try to find out if there are any edible foods. (During the experiment, some foods have been consumed, be attentive to whether excretion is necessary)]

6: Attempt to actively shed one's dander, hair, nails, and other materials for in vitro experiments, to test the possibility of self-degradation after detachment.

7: Purchase exercise equipment, food, and other necessities.]

3 and 7 were already being acted upon, and 4 and 5 had no leads to follow right now.

The exercise mentioned in 2 was planned for later in the evening.

He thought to simply pass the deep, quiet night by exercising.

Besides this,

1 and 6 had not yet been done.

After pondering for a moment,

Chen Yun decided to conduct the experiment mentioned in number 6 first.

Shedding his hair, dander, and nails was not difficult, it could be done easily at hand.

To be honest,

he was very curious about this.

Upon awakening yesterday afternoon and discovering his transformation, he had always been curious about what happened to those bodily materials he once had.

Whether the previous materials had directly transformed into new ones, or if the old materials were replaced and then degraded by themselves.

Chen Yun did not know what the case was.

It was only because of the succession of new changes that he had yet to seriously investigate.

Now, after roughly observing and summarizing most of the changes in his body, this question had once again resurfaced in his mind.

Contemplating,

Chen Yun switched on the video recording function of the old phone.

He adjusted the angle and placed it to the side.

To ensure that the upcoming experiment was fully recorded and could be reviewed at any time.

Then he took out a pair of scissors from the drawer.

Compared to collecting other bodily materials like nails or dandruff, cutting hair was undoubtedly the most relaxed task.

So, he directly took scissors to his own hair without any hesitation.

However, as soon as the scissors went down,

Chen Yun's movements abruptly halted.

The scissors seemed to have hit something unexpectedly tough, not only failing to cut the hair,

but the hair itself forced the blades out of alignment, trapping it between the two blades of the scissors.

Seeing this,

Chen Yun fell silent.

After opening the scissors and gripping them in his hand again, he grabbed a few strands of hair and stretched them taut.

Then, with the crossing point of the scissor blades, he pressed and cut repeatedly against the taut hair.

This way,

it seemed less like cutting and more like sawing with a saw.

Yet, even with such effort,

after more than ten seconds, he still couldn't cut through those few hairs.

This made Chen Yun fall silent once more.

The situation now seemed a bit off.

Pondering,

Chen Yun took out some nail clippers and aimed to collect a biological sample from his pristine new nails.

But just as the vague suspicion rose in his mind,

the nail clippers snapped under his force, performing even worse than the hair scissors had.

The scissors just wouldn't cut the hair,

but the nail clippers broke themselves.

And the nails themselves did not bear a single mark.

Under Chen Yun's careful observation,

the fingernails remained delicate and pink, without even a hint of a white line.

Silent,

Chen Yun calmly tried to collect some epidermal cells from himself, but the results were still similar.

Lightly pressing a kitchen knife did not damage the skin on his arm.

Applying a bit more force only left a faint white mark.

Having done this,

Chen Yun stopped his attempts to collect biological samples.

Chen Yun felt that this situation could no longer be explained by blunt scissors, nail clippers, or kitchen knives.

But in keeping with a rigorous attitude,

Chen Yun still used the bottom of a bowl as a sharpening stone to hone these tools as much as possible, then found two more new nail clippers.

Then...

He was faced with the unchanged result.

His entire body's skin, hair, and nails had become so extraordinarily tough that it was somewhat preposterous.

Those tools struggled to take samples.

Especially the nails, which were particularly exaggerated.

Though the newborn nails looked extra delicate and pink,

the last two nail clippers at home once again broke themselves while trying to trim those nails.

This plunged Chen Yun, who wanted to collect his own bodily biological samples, into deep thought.

The current him

seemed like he could be called...

a pauper's version of Steel Body?

Although he certainly wasn't as formidable as superhuman depicted in movies, he was definitely much stronger than an ordinary human.

If he went to a barbershop for a haircut, he'd probably ruin several of their razors.

If he got appendicitis, would doctors struggle to operate on him with a scalpel?

There's also another noteworthy aspect.

The absurd strength of his hair, skin, and nails felt almost exactly the same to the touch as when he was in a normal state.

Visibly there was no change in shape or properties, yet their defense capability had been boosted so significantly.

This was without question very unscientific.
