I'm Really Going to Become an Immortal

The 20th day of the first lunar month, 8 a.m.

The hissing sound of tires rubbing against the asphalt road, the thudding of leather shoes against the stone path of the neighborhood.

They echoed intermittently in the air.

The vitality and rhythm of life.

After crossing the endless night, he was back in the city once again.

As these sounds began, Chen Yun opened his eyes.

A trace of shock and realization flickered through them.

After trying various foods last night and initially guessing that he no longer needed to eat,

he had temporarily stopped observing and recording.

By then it was already past midnight, and it was time to sleep.

But...

When Chen Yun tried to close his eyes and rest, he realized something was amiss.

It was very late.

Yet he felt not the slightest bit of sleepiness.

Even now, at 8 a.m., as he tried to rest with closed eyes, he was still not tired but felt rather rejuvenated.

Staying up all night was not difficult.

Many people can do it, and for those with insomnia, it's no challenge at all.

But to remain invigorated all night, without showing any signs of tiredness,

for a person with a normal biological clock,

seemed somewhat abnormal.

Considering the various changes he had observed earlier, Chen Yun initially suspected this to be part of a physical transformation.

Chen Yun speculated that an exaggerated recovery ability might be allowing him not to need sleep to replenish his energy.

But this was just a hypothesis.

Without more instances of sleepless nights, he could only consider it a special case for now, unable to definitively label this condition as a special physical change.

Especially considering he had just slept for 20 hours recently, it was possible he had simply had enough sleep.

Thus, Chen Yun just made a note of this.

More in-depth research would have to wait for several days to see.

By then, observing whether he needed sleep would help him draw some preliminary conclusions and begin some related experiments.

With these thoughts,

Chen Yun took out his old phone.

After ending his initial observations last night, there were many trivial changes in his body that he needed to record for easy reference.

It would also be useful for future comparisons should there be further changes.

If needed, he could even create a line graph to track trends based on the recorded data.

Most importantly, he needed to plan what he would do next.

He opened the notes app with "online literature creation ideas," pondered for a moment, and then deleted the records he had taken while observing his body changes the day before.

He then outlined a more scientific, clear summary and plan.

[Title: Online Literature Creation Ideas]

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

[1: Physical Changes and Speculations]

1: Significant changes in physique, seemingly generated a large amount of muscle. Current height 175cm, weight 80kg, chest circumference 92cm, waist 78cm, hips 88cm, arm span 176cm, thigh circumference 56cm, calf 38cm, shoulder width 44cm, neck 36cm. Except for being overweight, all measurements are close to the ideal muscular build for a 175cm tall man.

2: Caries, hair, and nails all renewed, skin all over the body became smooth as new, hair outside the head disappeared. No replaced substances found; possible that original materials transformed directly or degraded after leaving the body.

3: Vision significantly improved, preliminary tests show clarity in seeing all letters on a standard vision chart within ten meters.

4: Major changes in physical condition. Capable of performing 1200 standard push-ups in a row, form deteriorates after 1200, exhausted after 1680. No sweating throughout, energy recovery takes just ten seconds after exhaustion, energy source unclear, does not recommend frequent physical tests.

5: Significantly increased resistance to cold. Manifested in spending the night naked without any discomfort.

6: Preliminary discovery of not needing food intake, possibly having an unknown energy source.

7: Initially, suspect not needing sleep, possibly related to excess recovery ability, needs more time to observe and confirm.

8: More potential changes not yet discovered. Personal speculation includes changes in resistance to blows, reflex abilities, and more, requiring further study and exploration.

[2: Possible Reasons for Physical Changes]

1: Transformation suspected to occur after waking at 6:34 p.m. on the 19th day of the first lunar month 2024; potentially related to unusual sleep around 10:30 p.m. on the 18th day of the first lunar month 2024, suspect something happened during sleep.

2: Speculated possible exposure to a unique contagion source while returning from Jiangnan Province to Shucheng on the 18th day of the first lunar month 2024.

3: More reasons to be added.

[3: Phased Planning]

1: Attempt to investigate the cause of physical changes.

2: Learn and cultivate professional exercise habits to better explore and utilize the physical changes.

3: Long-term recording of body changes, real-time update of "Memo - Online Literature Creation Ideas".

4: Explore more unknown changes hidden in the body. (Including examining whether lack of sleep can be confirmed as a physical change, studying changes in resistance to impact and thermal capabilities)

5: Look for unknown energy sources, also trying to identify any food that can be eaten. (During the experiment, some food was consumed; observe whether there is a need for excretion)

6: Try actively peeling off nails, hair, and other materials for in vitro experiments, testing whether they degrade by themselves after detaching.

7: Purchase workout equipment, food, and other necessary items.

[Summary: Unable to confirm the presence of more individuals with similar mutations, nor the treatment after being discovered. Therefore, utmost caution is advised, but there's no need to be overly paranoid; life must go on.]

With this,

Chen Yun stopped recording.

He had a clear understanding of the changes in his body so far.

And he had a draft of his future plans.

The focus was on serious research, trying to survive.

To explore his potential as much as possible.

Even if the changes continued, he would avoid causing trouble before becoming a Supernova.

Now,

Chen Yun planned to purchase some materials needed for upcoming experiments and daily living.

After tidying up the house briefly, he picked up some cash and a backpack,

and dressed in reasonably warm clothes walked out of his room.

During last night's naked exercise, he had noticed that his resistance and adaptability to cold had significantly improved.

The temperature last night was 3-8 degrees.

Despite being naked, he hadn't felt the slightest chill.

However, to appear less conspicuous,

after some consideration, he chose the thickness of clothes typical for the season.

This was the rational decision of an adult.
