I'm Really Going to Become an Immortal

March 6th, 7 p.m.

Chen Yun had been playing video games for quite some time.

He had created a Minecraft world designed for a leisurely retirement, currently constructing a multi-core Iron Brushing Machine and a trading center with the villagers.

He had planned to live the life of a homebody, constantly gaming.

However,

Bai Shi's call came.

He informed Chen Yun that the three-year agreement... oh, that's not right, that it was time to "scald the tree with boiling water."

So,

Chen Yun temporarily put down his game.

Following the address Bai Shi had provided, he quickly arrived at the destination by subway: No. 3 Dongzhi Road, Far Travel Office Building, Huixuan Education Training Institution.

Bai Shi was standing outside the office building,

grinning and waving at Chen Yun.

Seeing this,

Chen Yun walked over.

"I don't know anything; I'm just here for a walk."

Chen Yun smiled slightly,

making it clear he would disclaim any involvement.

According to the plan they had discussed on the way, his main role was to bolster Bai Shi's courage,

claiming disassociation if necessary.

Upon hearing this,

Bai Shi nodded, then led Chen Yun to the floor where Huixuan Education Training Institution was located.

As the elevator reached the floor,

A dazzling array of lights greeted them.

Compared to other businesses that would have typically closed by this time,

the training institution's working hours were from 1 p.m. to after 9 p.m.

Thus,

at this moment, the institution was bustling with activity.

People were coming and going.

Adhering to the principle that "it is darkest under the candle," Bai Shi took advantage of the moment when many outsiders were entering the building and blended in with Chen Yun, who claimed to be interested in enrolling.

He said he was going to help Chen Yun promote and sell the course.

It was inconspicuous in the crowd.

But in fact,

Once inside, Bai Shi wasted no words.

He directly led Chen Yun towards the boss's office.

The reconnaissance done in the previous days was clearly helpful.

They not only knew that the boss wasn't present today, but also picked a time when everyone was busy.

So,

they made it to the boss's office without any hindrance.

After expertly picking the lock,

the office door opened.

Seeing this, Bai Shi opened his rather bulky coat.

Two insulated water bottles filled with water were inside.

"Why did you bring two?"

Chen Yun raised an eyebrow, curious.

"Of course, because one might not be enough, and I've added some extra stuff to make sure the money tree is definitely killed."

With that, Bai Shi carried the two water bottles filled with hot water inside.

He was ready to execute his grand plan of revenge, the "hot water scalding."

Meanwhile, Chen Yun crossed his arms,

leaning against the door, keeping watch for Bai Shi.

Thanks to his Transparent World Perception, he didn't need to focus too much while keeping watch.

As long as he wasn't daydreaming, his always-active Transparent World Perception wouldn't miss even a mosquito.

However,

even if he did daydream, it wouldn't matter much.

Bai Shi clearly had a knack for such secretive stealth missions.

Apart from the reconnaissance beforehand, he was prepared with double the amount of boiling water, gloves to prevent leaving fingerprints, and a five-minute clip of normal surveillance footage to replace the current one.

It seemed he was treating this operation as a top priority.

His preparations had nailed a perfect timing when everyone was busy, preventing them from noticing their activity.

Soon,

Bai Shi finished everything and came out.

It was all uneventful.

"Although I've achieved my goal, I plan to work at this training institution for another two days. Then, I can see how the boss reacts when he discovers his money tree is dead."

"I won't see you out, then."

Bai Shi wore an expression indicating he was looking forward to the drama.

Hearing this,

Chen Yun nodded and immediately took his leave.

As he left the training institution, he still had some fun pretending to quietly murmur to the many employees how expensive the courses were.

·················

On the subway back home,

Chen Yun thought about how he could improve the Iron Brushing Machine and Villager Trading Center when he got home.

Time passed quickly.

Before long,

Chen Yun arrived at Mingwang New Village subway station.

After exiting from station exit A, it wasn't long before he reached his building.

But before he entered the elevator,

Chen Yun suddenly furrowed his brows.

As the elevator ascended, getting increasingly closer to his apartment,

his frown deepened.

Finally, when the elevator reached the sixth floor and he stepped out, his expression darkened.

Under his Transparent World Perception,

the entrance and inside of his house were filled with the scent left by a stranger.

The scent was quite fresh.

Clearly,

during the time he was not home,

someone had visited his place.
