I'm Really Going to Become an Immortal

[Subtitle: "Physical Cheats", "Genius Game Youth"]

March 6, 2024, Wednesday, 8:00 in the morning.

Jingzhe had passed, and a new day had arrived.

Unable to resist, Chen Yun stretched lazily after turning off his alarm clock.

Although he no longer needed sleep, he couldn't help feeling a bit sluggish after nearly sitting up all night.

His achievement for the night was roughly a two-minute line chart (as shown in the illustration) and a stockpile of nearly seventy thousand words of online literature.

It was clear from the line chart.

The upward trend of his seventh record had suddenly escalated a notch.

This was obviously different from the previous recordings.

Theoretically.

Chen Yun's standard push-ups were extremely precise, every movement meticulous.

The time was consistent, with no gaps between the push-ups.

Such difficult exercise was likely to plateau for a long time, fluctuating within a narrow margin of error.

Yet, in the seventh record.

After his second slumber evolution, he experienced a significant leap.

The slope of the line had abruptly steepened.

It was clear to see his rapid progress that day.

However, for now, the line chart could only summarize so much information.

In general.

It wasn't very useful at the moment and could hardly summarize anything.

But Chen Yun still planned to continue recording.

Not everything is useful from the start.

When the volume of data reaches a certain level in the future, perhaps changes in the slope of the chart and other factors could reveal some patterns behind his strengthening.

This could hold profound significance for future research.

Besides, on the first night after the second slumber evolution.

He had also written nearly sixty thousand words, which added up to a total stockpile of seventy thousand words.

It had to be said.

After the evolution, his mind had become more agile, and his typing speed had increased.

This meant that in the six hours left after deducting time for relaxation and entertainment at night, he was essentially writing ten thousand words per hour.

This amounted to 166 words per minute.

It might not seem fast compared to stenographers.

But it was important to remember that he was writing fiction, not simply recording speeches where one could write without much thinking.

He needed to brainstorm.

Yet, he was still able to maintain a very fast speed.

Because now, both his mind and his hands moved quickly.

Sixty thousand words in one night meant 1.8 million words in a month.

Who else could compare to this?

Who else would earn more than him?

He could already imagine the editor, Meteor, being overwhelmed by his submissions.

His mind was racing.

Chen Yun then opened the window to his balcony, facing the sunrise.

Looking down from the sixth floor.

For some reason.

Not only did he not feel any fear of heights, but he even felt a subtle urge to jump.

However, Chen Yun promptly dismissed such thoughts.

He definitely didn't want to jump down and gamble on the limit of his Steel Body's defensive capabilities.

Honestly, if he had that kind of courage.

He wouldn't have concluded only that his own claws could not penetrate his defense.

Hydraulic presses, chainsaws, and the like weren't impossible to acquire.

Using them, he could undoubtedly perform a full defensive test on his own makeshift Steel Body.

However.

For the time being, Chen Yun did not have such ideas or bravery.

Perhaps he would consider it in the future, but not now.

Without much pressure, he preferred a steady and peaceful growth.

Looking out at the sunny streets of the neighborhood outside the window.

The morning light shined warm on the plants, seemingly announcing the arrival of spring.

A gentle breeze blew in his face.

Carrying a hint of the fragrance of fresh grass.

At this moment, like on previous days, Chen Yun, who should have been running, squinted and suddenly felt unsure of what to do.

According to his short-term plan 2.0, he would pause his physical training to experiment and see the potential effects of exercise on slumber evolution.

But without exercising, he didn't really know what else to do other than type for a few hours each day.

Surely he couldn't just write all day, could he?

At this time.

Chen Yun felt as if he had somewhat returned to those college days.

His whole state could be described as: not slacking enough to slack, not grasping enough to win, not absorbing enough to learn, not lying still enough to lie down, not living freely enough to understand life, and not sleeping deeply enough to wake up.

After pondering for a long time.

Chen Yun turned on his computer.

He fell into deep thought as he looked at the game icons he hadn't played in a long time.

CSGO, Apex, Palu Beasts, Battlefield 5, Minecraft······

These were all games that had once brought him joyful times.

After graduating from college, he occasionally made plans to play games with his classmates.

However, after his body changed, he rarely had a chance to meet up for a game with his college friends.

Most of the spare time he had besides training and research was spent reading novels and watching videos.

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Yun opened a matchmaking platform for CSGO.

Looking at his account currently in the ranking matches, Chen Yun decisively selected a few familiar maps and began the matchmaking process.

He didn't call up his college friends who still connected through gaming because it was a workday and they weren't like him with a freelance career.

They were probably being lectured by their boss.

However, perhaps it was because of the weekday.

The matchmaking took a bit longer.

It wasn't until three minutes later that the game started.

His initial faction was the police, and the enemies were bandits.

After warming up, Chen Yun, who hadn't played for a while, seemed a bit rusty as he controlled his character toward point B.

He heard a teammate behind him say, "I'll flash for you, just push forward and clear Banana."

Chen Yun cheerfully responded with an affirmative.

The next moment,

with his teammate's full flash in Banana,

Chen Yun, following the push, saw five enemies covering their eyes.

Clearly, the teammate's flashbang was powerful, making all five enemies see "Ultraman Tiga."

Chen Yun immediately focused his attention.

Just as he was about to open fire with his USP,

he noticed that everything in front of him slowed down.

The effects of Transparent World's dynamic vision kicked in subconsciously.

These game characters, with their refresh rate limitations, were moving in slow motion before his eyes.

Chen Yun's USP aimed at the enemies' heads was like King Yan calling their names—quick, precise, and fierce.

With just five shots, he executed five headshots, taking down all the enemies.

Not a bit of ammunition wasted.

The crisp sound of the headshots, followed by the MVP music, sounded exceptionally pleasant.

For a moment,

the team channel was full of teammates' praises, and the public channel was filled with bewildered "What?" from the opponents.

In response,

Chen Yun modestly credited the well-thrown flashbang by his teammate.

In the subsequent matches,

Chen Yun increasingly felt that he was playing in a completely different dimension in the gaming domain,

at least within the realm of FPS games.

The dynamic vision from Transparent World, combined with the extreme Coordination Control, resulted in incredibly steady aim control.

He was like a walking cheat code.

Even though Chen Yun tried to hold back in the following matches, he still produced incredible results.

Occasionally, rapid stop techniques caused some bullet spread due to lack of practice,

but with his powerful dynamic vision and reaction capabilities, he managed to correct the trajectory forcibly most of the time.

And the extreme Coordination Control allowed Chen Yun to instinctively master the basic rapid stop techniques, pre-aiming skills, and body positioning in CS:GO within just a few games.

By the end of the session,

Chen Yun's shooting skills had evolved from a C+ noob to the level of a top professional player.

He only fell short in aspects like projectile throwing, strategy thinking, game experience, and team cooperation within the industry's top standards.

If it were just about shooting skills, he even felt confident he could make professional players cry.

Next,

Chen Yun tried several other games,

Apex, Palu Beasts, Battlefield 5, Minecraft...

He sampled every game available on his computer,

achieving top-tier levels in most of them in an extremely short time.

In Apex,

with decent luck, as long as he got a chance to shoot, he could almost always be the last one standing.

Of course, if he landed without a weapon or got cold-shot in the back while on the move,

then there was really nothing he could do.

In Battlefield 5,

unless he encountered a cheater,

even playing as an Assault Soldier, his average kills per game often broke a hundred, and his average deaths per game rarely exceeded twenty.

Palu Beasts and Minecraft didn't require much operation.

He could easily clear them before,

and now it was even easier.

These less competitive games still retained some interest for Chen Yun.

In the future, he might only be interested in casual, strategic type of retirement games.

Other games that required fast reactions and operations,

weren't boring per se, but they hardly posed any challenge to him anymore.

After all, his current abilities in Transparent World and extreme Coordination Control were just too much of a cheat.

If Chen Yun wasn't more inclined toward hanging back and farming,

he might have really considered going pro.

Then as a top esports player, he could gather the Cullinan Fragments within a year.

Of course,

although Chen Yun was a normal person and loved money,

in his current state, he was more inclined to focus on studying himself.

Worldly pursuits like wealth might not matter to him anymore.

Faced with the potential for ongoing evolution, no one would make the wrong choice.

If he stopped evolving, maybe he would choose to become a professional esports player.

But for now, he decided not against it.

Thinking this,

Chen Yun looked at his computer screen displaying the "Game Completion Animation - The Final Poem" after clearing Minecraft.

He casually shut down the game.

His gaze flicked to the bottom left corner of the computer.

The time was...

3 PM.

He had been gaming since he got up this morning,

and these seven hours solidified one thing for him.

He could pretty much say goodbye to most highly operational competitive games.

After all, they weren't much of a challenge anymore.

Hang around too long, and anyone would lose interest.

But fortunately,

he still liked quite a few casual, strategy games.
