Chapter 112: Chapter 102: Bai Shi’s Past and the Subtle Operation of Thermal Sight

March 26, in the afternoon.

Chen Yun had spent the morning in the hotel and was about to end his so-called headache rest.

If his body continued to feel uncomfortable.

Bai Shi and the two others would certainly worry and find him a doctor, which would be troublesome.

That doctor would discover a monster that syringes couldn’t penetrate, and Chen Yun would have to start considering whether to silence him.

Of course, if Bai Shi did call a doctor, Chen Yun would try his best to prevent the doctor from actually discovering his abnormality.

He wouldn’t let things escalate to the point of needing to silence anyone.

Anyway.

Chen Yun went to the restaurant with Bai Shi and the others to resolve lunch, and then they went back to the room to play cards and help with digestion.

To avoid a massacre at the hands of Chen Yun during the card game, they played Three Kingdoms Kill, which can’t be won through skill alone!

They played in a mobile room, with a 2v2 team mode.

Chen Yun was paired with Jiang Anping, and even at times when their play was flawless, they still couldn’t stop the sudden burst of dog luck from the opposing team.

Time passed this way for a while until the sky outside the window darkened suddenly.

The previously bright and open sky was gradually replaced by thick dark clouds, as if a massive piece of gray-black silk slowly covered the entire firmament, dimming the sunlight and rendering it hazy and obscure.

"Looks like we’ll only be staying in the hotel this afternoon."

Bai Shi said this but didn’t seem to mind.

Jiang Anping was still focused on her turn at the cards.

Sun Huwen, however, felt quite disappointed and pouted at the ruined plans for the afternoon outing.

"This hotel also has a library, a beauty and skincare experience hall, a small theater, and other facilities; we can go check these out in the afternoon."

Chen Yun spoke up.

Though he had only glanced at the map hanging in the hotel lobby, he had completely memorized everything on it.

"Beauty and skincare? My skin has been a bit discolored from the sun lately."

"Sheng Jiang, come with me, quick."

Sun Huwen suddenly became excited, grabbed Jiang Anping, who had just finished her turn, and ran straight out of the room.

Jiang Anping did not refuse.

However, she was still operating her phone and exchanging cards with Bai Shi, who was still in the game.

"The girls have gone for skincare, so where shall we go next?"

"To the small theater, or back to our rooms to play on our phones?"

Chen Yun looked at the two girls who had left and then at Bai Shi, who was seriously dueling Jiang Anping in the 1v1, and asked earnestly.

"Eh? What’s the program?"

Bai Shi asked casually while loading his Zhuge Crossbow, hidden for three rounds, and joyfully drank wine and struck Jiang Anping’s character four times.

Looking at the victorious game screen.

Bai Shi couldn’t help but snicker with malicious glee, just imagining the scene of Jiang Anping, upset from the loss, being comforted by Sun Huwen.

"Oh? This afternoon’s program seems to be called... A Perfect Crime?"

Chen Yun found the theatre’s program using his phone and spoke in mild surprise.

Hearing this, Bai Shi also put away his phone.

A Perfect Crime?

Wow, that’s some claim!

Bai Shi was energized and headed for the door.

He took the lead out, while Chen Yun followed at a leisurely pace.

...

The small theater was on the top floor of the hotel.

Walking into the theater, the first thing to catch one’s eye was the quaint and exquisite foyer, with a retro crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling, casting a soft and cozy light. The walls on either side were adorned with photos and posters of past performances, capturing their splendid moments. The front desk had a ticket booth and a program rack, providing convenience for spectators to get information and buy tickets.

Further inside was the heart of the theater—the auditorium. The theater was semi-circular, seating about a hundred people, with each seat designed to ensure a good view while keeping a comfortable distance for watching.

The stage wasn’t large but was fully equipped; whether it was the lighting, sound, or set props, they all strived for perfection, aiming to create the best artistic effect for each performance.

When Chen Yun and Bai Shi arrived.

The stage play hadn’t started yet, and they casually found seats.

Each armrest had a poster detailing the program for the current performance.

Bai Shi picked it up casually.

Just as he was about to see what made the program so confident, he was immediately taken aback.

The paper outlined the rough synopsis:

[A boy has been an orphan since childhood but possesses intelligence beyond ordinary people.]

[To buy a better set of clothes for the orphanage’s elderly dean, he managed to deceive many adults into giving him money using his cleverness from childhood. Later, he was scolded by the dean.]

The story wasn’t complex.

It mainly told how the boy’s crimes, though full of mistakes, were still kindly indulged by various adults who were willing to be deceived, thereby achieving seemingly flawless perfect crimes again and again.

Chen Yun thought the story was okay, but not enough to stun Bai Shi for so long.

So he asked, "What’s up? You’re staring at the synopsis for so long."

"It’s nothing, just that this story... it’s somewhat similar to my childhood."

Bai Shi looked somewhat forlorn.

Chen Yun noticed the situation and tactfully refrained from asking any further questions.

Soon, the stage play began.

Bai Shi watched intently, and Chen Yun also silently observed the drama.

Until it was close to the end.

Bai Shi didn’t say anything more, but his mood suddenly seemed to drop.

Chen Yun could feel it.

In that mood, there was mostly nostalgia, followed by sadness and confusion.

After the play ended.

Bai Shi silently returned to his room, and Chen Yun didn’t follow to disturb him.

He understood.

Perhaps the play had struck a chord, reminding the experienced Bai Shi of his past.

Chen Yun considered Bai Shi a friend. Since Bai Shi wasn’t talking, Chen Yun wouldn’t ask further.

Although he could guess something from Bai Shi’s comment "it’s somewhat like my experiences as a child", Chen Yun didn’t want to make wild conjectures.

Back in his own room.

Looking out the window at the drizzling rain.

Chen Yun couldn’t help but start to feel a bit melancholic as well.

However, his rational balance mechanism quickly cleared his mind again.

Tomorrow, he would return to Runzhou City to see his dad and younger brother.

He silently made this decision in his heart.

Just as he lay down in bed.

Chen Yun suddenly felt that the faint soreness in his eyes had quietly faded, and his thermal sight seemed usable again?

He quickly sat up with a jolt.

He checked the time, it was three-thirty in the afternoon, about twelve hours since he last used it, half a day exactly.

The cooldown time wasn’t as outrageous as ten days or half a month, but half-day was still not particularly short.

Musing.

Chen Yun started to test his thermal sight.

There was no need for excessive testing of power.

Primarily, it was the finer control that mattered.

If he remembered correctly, when he released the thermal sight before, he felt he could freely adjust the angle and power, but since he hadn’t had time to test it because the release time was too short.

Now, there was an opportunity for testing.

But he had to remember there was only about eight seconds.

Thinking, Chen Yun borrowed an umbrella from the hotel front desk and left the hotel under its protection.

The rain wasn’t heavy.

But at least it was not conducive to having fun, and there was no one on Golden Beach.

Chen Yun swiftly passed through.

He quickly ran to the vicinity of the large rock he had been at in the early morning.

Looking at the rocks everywhere.

Chen Yun’s eyes glowed red, and his thermal sight lashed out, slicing through the rain curtain.

The rain hissed as it hit the thermal sight.

As it reached the rock, it instantly melted a hole in it. Just as it was about to melt deeper, Chen Yun immediately controlled and reduced the power.

Indeed, just as he had anticipated.

He could freely adjust the intensity of his thermal sight, with the lowest being almost harmless and the highest reaching 1500 degrees, powerful enough to melt through the rock.

After testing for about four seconds.

Chen Yun could feel a slight soreness in his eyes; obviously, even at a very low power, the duration of the thermal sight was still disappointingly short.

Silently.

Chen Yun spent another two seconds trying to adjust the thermal sight’s angle and beam width.

He found that he could adjust the beam angle within the entire range of his vision, not just shooting out two parallel laser beams.

As for the beam width.

It could be as wide as the eye or as thin as a needle, like the thickness of a standard laser pointer.

Everything about the thermal sight was very good.

The ease of control was simply perfect.

The only imperfection was the mere eight seconds of continuous firing time. Perhaps future slumber evolution would solve this problem?

Rubbing his sore eyes.

Chen Yun thought for a moment and decided not to use the last two seconds to test his thermal sight, but to test his own body with it!

He had previously refrained from using a hydraulic press, chainsaw, high-temperature blowtorch, or liquid nitrogen to test his defense ability due to uncertainty, merely knowing that his defense was extremely strong.

But now, with the finely controllable thermal sight, Chen Yun planned to try it out.

This tool could be switched on and off or adjusted in power at will—and was entirely under his control.

It was perfectly suited to test his heat resistance.

Thinking.

Chen Yun turned his gaze towards the tip of his little finger, his eyes slowly emanating a red glow.
