Chapter 28: Chapter 26 Short-Term Planning 2.0 (2-in-1 Chapter)_2
He was curious about what might happen to himself during slumber evolution.
Would anything unusual occur?
What would it look like to outside observers?
This question was significant, so buying a video camera was necessary.
After handling that,
Chen Yun picked up an old cell phone lying beside him and opened a memo titled "online literature creation."
He began to organize his thoughts.
After bidding farewell to Bai Shi, he came back and experimented and recorded his own transformations.
He recorded his current height and weight after his second transformation and also took detailed measurements of his physique.
He conducted extensive tests on his strength, speed, and endurance.
All in all,
he tested the changes he had experienced and explored potential new changes.
Ultimately, at this moment, he roughly summarized all the changes.
Thinking this,
Chen Yun began to edit the memo.
[Seventh Record: 2024.3.5 (the 20th day of the first lunar month)]
[1. Original physique unchanged, still approximating the muscular build of a man about 175cm tall. However, weight increased from 80kg to 90kg, specific location of weight gain unclear, suspect direct increase in density.]
[2. Physical strength from testing on March 4th, from 2420 standard push-ups to being able to do 5000 standard push-ups, more than doubled.]
[3. Improvement seen in Steel Body, hair virtually uncuttable. After trying to attack his own shield with his spear, found that the claws that can now tear apart wooden chairs could not penetrate his defense. Speculates that his own defensive strength far surpasses his attack power. Considering safety during self-experimentation, methods that could potentially breach his own defense were not contemplated.]
[4. Extraordinary sense of smell, Memory Enhancement, and many other abilities have all been somewhat enhanced.]
[5. New—Transparent World. A combination of Super Vision, Super Hearing, and Super Smell. Can see through walls to spy on enemies and discern their movements and weaknesses by observing details such as the contraction of blood vessels in their bodies.]
[6. New—Ultimate Coordination Control. Almost as if controlling his own body parts with his mind, this ability endows him with impressive throwing techniques.]
Writing this,
Chen Yun temporarily stopped recording.
Looking at the more detailed seventh record, which contained more content than the previous recordings,
he had roughly figured out the various changes brought by his second slumber.
Having had the experience of tentatively exploring after the first slumber evolution,
Chen Yun was quick and precise in summarizing this record.
First, it appeared that all the abilities gained from the first slumber evolution had been enhanced.
The magnitude of this enhancement was not small, visibly noticeable.
For instance, although his physique remained unchanged, his weight inexplicably increased; his physical strength significantly improved; his claws could tear through wooden chairs but not breach his own defense; and recalling past events brought back clearer and more detailed images...
Secondly,
there were the two new changes: Transparent World and Ultimate Coordination Control.
Among them,
the power of Transparent World was comparable to perception abilities in many fantasy works, undoubtedly profound.
Having it made Chen Yun,
more hound-like than a police dog, more bat-like than a bat.
As for the Ultimate Coordination Control, it allowed Chen Yun to instinctively control all his strength.
He could even use this ability to toss pebbles with pinpoint accuracy as if they were toys,
making impersonating Li Xunhuan seem effortless.
"Compared to the improvements brought by daily exercise, the progress from slumber is far more obvious. After one night's sleep, 2420 standard push-ups turned into 5000."
"The changes in all aspects of my body are also clearly visible, not to mention the newly added powerful abilities."
"Now I'm becoming more and more abnormal."
Chen Yun muttered, clenching his fist, feeling the power within.
To be honest,
although he had no professional equipment to test his strength and speed,
for the current Chen Yun, who could effortlessly lift and toss a solid wood table,
a single punch from him would force anyone to kneel and beg for mercy.
The changes brought by his second slumber were too significant,
nearly comparable to those from the first slumber.
This could indeed be called evolution.
"When will the next slumber come?"
Chen Yun narrowed his eyes.
He was very curious about this kind of slumber, which brought about significant progress.
But he could only speculate on the possibility of further slumber evolutions based on his two previous experiences.
Having only undergone evolution during slumber twice, in the absence of a sufficient number of cases, he couldn't understand the mechanisms of the slumber.
Perhaps it was a matter of sleeping at fixed times?
Or perhaps some action of his triggered his entry into the state of slumber evolution?
Regarding all this, he had no way of knowing.
But adhering to a rigorous attitude, he was definitely going to find a way to figure out the reasons behind it.
The only guess he could make at the moment was:
Was it because of his training that he had undergone another round of slumber evolution?
After all, what he had been doing most recently was researching himself and training his body.
In order to find out if this was possible,
Chen Yun continued to open his memo pad and wrote down a title "Short-Term Plan 2.0."
To accommodate his new needs.
Short-Term Plan 1.0 was already outdated.
Even after every slumber evolution in the future, a new version of the short-term plan might be needed to organize specific arrangements for that period.
After all,
A plan could never be permanently effective; the development of things is a spiral ascent.
Plans naturally had to change accordingly.
Based on his own ideas, Chen Yun started recording.
[Short-Term Plan 2.0:]
[1: 8 AM leisure activities.]
[2: 1 PM explore personal changes and verify a series of related guesses. (Can rest and entertain when there are no guesses to verify)]
[3: 3 PM begin leisure activities.]
[4: 11:30 PM record daily changes and summaries.]
[6: Midnight log summaries and start online literature creation.]
[7: To be supplemented]
Compared to Short-Term Plan 1.0, which had both busy and leisure components, Short-Term Plan 2.0 was nearly all about joyous play.
Apart from the fixed recording of daily data and the added time for writing novels,
Most of the remaining time was spent on entertainment.
Chen Yun arranged it this way,
Not for any other reason,
But to conduct an experiment using the method of controlled variables to see if it was the training that brought about another bout of slumber evolution.
Considering the slumber incidents occurred one week apart, Chen Yun initially planned to set aside two continuous weeks for this experiment.
After eliminating the exercise factor,
To see what would happen if there was a lack of physical training,
Would the next slumber evolution still occur? And if so, when?
Thus,
He could effectively preliminarily determine the impact of exercise on slumber evolution.
After writing all this,
Chen Yun set his old cellphone aside.
Seeing that it was approaching midnight, he lay back in his computer chair and closed his eyes in contemplation.
Yesterday,
Just as it was nearing midnight, he was about to create a line graph to illustrate the changes in his physical condition,
Then he was suddenly overcome by an endless drowsiness and taken straight to dreamland,
Completing another evolution in his sleep,
Only to wake up this afternoon.
So,
Now nearing midnight again,
Chen Yun was fully prepared to sleep, looking forward to the recurrence of the scenario.
However,
After more than ten minutes, Chen Yun, with his eyes closed in concentration, did not fall asleep like he did yesterday.
He opened his eyes.
A realization flashed through his eyes, understanding that the sleep mechanism still needed further research; his exercise-free Short-Term Plan 2.0 indeed set the immediate arrangements for himself for the coming period.
Thinking this way,
Chen Yun turned on his computer.
Since he didn't need to sleep, according to the plan, nighttime was his designated time for writing.
The editor from Meteor might come to urge him for manuscripts in the next few days.
Although thinking like this,
Chen Yun still first opened the Excel spreadsheet, implementing his idea from last night.
That was to record the daily changes in his physical condition and create line graphs to view the trends.
After all...
Researching oneself was more interesting than writing.
