I'm Really Going to Become an Immortal

Subtitle: "Record Summary," "I Excel On My Own"

··························

Although Chen Yun had planned not to train his body recently,

he continued to make daily recordings.

[Record Eight: 2024.3.6 (the 20th day of the first lunar month)]

[1. Maximum standard push-ups: 5020]

[2. Discovered the existence of Killing Intent, effective within a range of 50 meters, adjustable in intensity. Can instantly cause an adult to freeze in terror; repeatedly applying and withdrawing it can mentally break someone.]

[Record Nine: 2024.3.7 (the 20th day of the first lunar month)]

[1. Maximum standard push-ups: 5030]

[2. Basically mastered control of Killing Intent; can target a specific individual or a group, or release indiscriminately. Within the 50-meter range of Killing Intent, the intensity can be freely adjusted.]

··························

Looking back at the daily records,

it can be observed

that his physical strength is still growing, albeit by a minuscule margin.

Without any active training other than testing,

the number of maximum standard push-ups was improving at a snail's pace.

Compared to his past rates of improvement, this slow pace was admittedly rather frustrating.

The clear, incremental improvements in his body were more exhilarating than any other sensation.

That sense of achievement, that sense of progressing, that knowledge that effort is rewarding,

it's incomparable.

In reality, money, careers, etc., really hold no meaning in the face of this.

But to understand the triggering mechanism of slumber evolution, and whether physical training affects it,

such a choice was necessary.

He must figure out whether taking a week or two off from training could affect the impending slumber evolution.

Such fundamental mechanisms

cannot be overlooked.

Thinking this,

Chen Yun did a simple physical test.

Ten seconds after his stamina had fully recovered, he recorded today's maximum standard push-ups:

[Record Twelve: 2024.3.10, (the first day of the second lunar month)]

[1. Maximum standard push-ups: 5080]

Besides that,

there didn't seem to be anything else to record.

Thinking about how he had spent the entire day playing, there really wasn't anything else noteworthy to record.

Surely, he couldn't include the fact that he had scored over ten pentakills in a game?

Such an extreme display of coordinated control and its subsequent effects weren't necessary to note down.

Thinking this,

Chen Yun put down his old phone and turned off the memo.

Looking out at the darkening sky,

the sleepless Chen Yun then started his nightlife.

Next,

it was time for some passionate late-night writing.

Although he had said that money and career were meaningless, even now, without the need to eat, drink, or sleep, he wasn't yet at the point where he didn't need money at all.

After the computer was back,

it was time to continue filling Editor Meteor's inbox with manuscripts.

March 11.

The second day of the second lunar month.

Today is Dragon Raises Its Head, also known as the Spring Plowing Festival, the Agricultural Festival, the Green Dragon Festival, and the Spring Dragon Festival.

Since ancient times, Dragon Raises Its Head has been regarded as a day to pray for good weather, to ward off evil, and to usher in good fortune.

In the afternoon,

as a retirement community, Mingwang New Village,

also welcomed a rather impressive Juggling Team.

It was a performance organized by the resident committee.

The performance took place near the Vegetable Market in an open area of Mingwang New Village.

Many people were drawn to it.

Several elderly people, carrying their own stools, had settled down early in the square to wait.

Upon receiving a message from Bai Shi, Chen Yun also decided to go and enjoy the event.

The short-term plan 2.0 stated that there was no need to exercise recently, only to have fun playing.

At most, work out and develop some special abilities other than physical ones.

And regarding his own abilities including Transparent World and Killing Intent, he had already done a general workout that morning.

Chen Yun had just finished walking downstairs next to his building, incidentally providing a pest control service for that building.

Killing Intent for pest control, with a one hundred percent effectiveness~

After such a simple workout.

Chen Yun didn't go home to change but went straight to the square wearing slippers and casual clothes.

He remembered the last time he watched the juggling team.

That was when he was very young.

At that time, he was still attending elementary school in Jiangnan Province.

He had a deep impression of the uncle who broke stones with his chest in the juggling team.

Today, hearing that he could watch a juggling performance,

he naturally arrived early at the scene.

However, by the time he got there, it wasn't early anymore.

The juggling team members were still setting up the stage in the middle of the square, and many elderly people were already sitting in rows below.

Chen Yun looked around.

He slightly adjusted the constantly on Transparent World ability, raising his attention on Bai Shi.

He immediately spotted Bai Shi in the southeast corner.

Upon seeing him, Chen Yun walked over and sat down on two particularly extraordinary armchairs behind Bai Shi.

"Hmm? You finally arrived."

Bai Shi pushed up his hat brim and sat down with a smile.

A look of expectant praise appeared on his face.

"How long have you been preparing with this setup?"

Chen Yun looked at their grandmaster's chairs and then at the solid wood table in front of them, which had several fruit plates on it.

He realized that this was Bai Shi's darn sense of ritual at play.

Though it was an outdoor performance, everyone around was sitting on their own plastic stools,

and only this spot seemed like a private booth.

"Not too long."

Bai Shi smiled, tilting his head slightly, without elaborating much.

But his nose, nearly reaching the sky,

clearly looked quite pleased with himself.

After a moment's thought,

Chen Yun, feeling the cushion on the grandmaster's chair that made it exceptionally comfortable,

didn't complain much.

Instead, he genuinely gave Bai Shi a thumbs-up.

The two then chatted casually for a while.

Finally, the juggle team finished their preparations.

Both men stopped chatting and looked towards the stage.

Under the expectant gazes of the surrounding audience, two men first brought up something resembling a battle drum's bronze hammer onto the stage.

Obviously, it was a heavy object.

It landed with a loud thud.

Under everyone's expectant eyes,

a man lay on a stage bed.

A large stone slab was placed on his body.

Another very robust man then approached the bed, dragging the battle drum's bronze hammer.

Perhaps due to the weight of the bronze hammer,

the strong man, to save energy, was dragging it on the ground.

Accompanied by a strongly oppressive friction sound,

the atmosphere around immediately heated up.

Obviously,

they were starting off with the classic stunt of breaking a stone on the chest to warm up everyone.

Chen Yun watched this scene,

and for some reason, he didn't feel the innocent anticipation he had as a child.

Perhaps because he believed deep down...

I could do it too!

Whether getting beaten or doing the beating, he could genuinely handle it!

That battle drum's bronze hammer, weighing several hundred pounds, he could swing it with one hand.

Even if he took a hit, his intuition told him that his basic version of Steel Body wouldn't break.
