I'm Really Going to Become an Immortal
Chapter 147 - 126: Must be Fishing!

Chapter 147: Chapter 126: Must be Fishing!

After his body had changed,

Chen Yun had always adhered to a cautious mentality.

His cardinal rule was to not become a Supernova and definitely not to take reckless actions; even if he felt like not eating beef, he would wait until he had confirmed that he was absolutely invincible, free of any defects, before acting on that thought.

Therefore, his actions and principles had always been to stay low-key, experimenting and researching at home.

He never went out to cause trouble or show off.

The rare times he made significant movements, like recruiting a subordinate, were to satisfy the needs of some human experiments, and he would try to keep a low profile to avoid detection throughout the process.

Despite gradually transcending ordinary humans, his initial reluctance to abandon eating beef changed as he became a firm Seeker, exploring higher up in the skies.

But his cautious approach had been so far preserved.

Those who rashly made a big fuss about things were truly brainless.

Who, upon becoming special, wouldn’t consider whether there were other special persons in this world?

Chen Yun was no exception.

He had tried to use Transparent World Perception to watch those who might be out of the ordinary. Although he didn’t deliberately search everywhere, it was more or less the same.

But since his body had changed,

he actually had not found any existence that might be special.

Everyone seemed very ordinary, neither outstanding nor attracting attention in life, just living and working solidly.

He hadn’t pursued the matter further, maintaining enough caution to live his daily research life.

Until today.

The messages in the group chat made him frown involuntarily.

The world A Zi saw was basically not much different from his; however, the details of specific colors were not as rich as his.

If it was presumed to be the same kind, could this be a kindred with less developed abilities?

If it indeed were a kindred and not some adolescent delusion, then what was the true nature of this world?

Did a so-called Inner World exist?

Bai Shi was likely to be someone who knew most of the truth about this world. If there were an extraordinary Inner World, he would certainly know of its existence.

Otherwise, someone as arrogant as him would have been captured by either international authorities or some other extraordinary criminals.

But thinking this way,

it could also be interpreted that the Inner World existed but was extremely scarce in numbers, and even Bai Shi, an arrogant fugitive on the international wanted list, was not targeted by it.

In any case, there were many possibilities.

The potential emergence of a kindred had sparked too many thoughts in Chen Yun’s mind.

Pondering, Chen Yun dared not draw conclusions rashly.

Looking at the avatar in the group chat that had not spoken for a long time, Chen Yun hesitated briefly, then made a series of disguises including the Human Skin Mask at high speed, and avoided the surveillance cameras, dashing straight to a nearby internet cafe.

There, he logged in to the Transparent World Perception on-site to memorize the password of a naive guy entering his QQ password at the internet cafe, and the moment right before he was about to click login, Chen Yun used his spiritual power to touch the guy’s emotions, keeping him still in his seat.

The internet cafe was crowded; no one paid any attention to someone staring at the screen unmoving.

Subsequently, Chen Yun logged into this person’s account on another machine, conveniently used Transparent World to see the verification code on the mobile phone in the hacked person’s pocket.

After easily logging in, he sent a friend request directly to A Zi’s QQ from this account.

Judging by A Zi’s nonchalant exposure of the true colors of the rose in the group chat, Chen Yun felt that even if she truly was an extraordinary existence, it was highly unlikely that she was an official one.

Otherwise, discussing these matters so casually in a QQ group, were there really no confidentiality regulations?

If she wasn’t official, then this person who spoke in the group chat was likely someone who couldn’t keep secrets and was easily tricked.

With this in mind, Chen Yun attempted to communicate online.

After a while,

in Chen Yun’s somewhat apprehensive mood, A Zi accepted the friend request.

A Zi sent over a question mark.

Seeing this, Chen Yun went straight to the point and sent the picture of the red rose from the group chat: "Do you really think the colors in this rose are like this?"

Upon seeing it,

A Zi paused for a moment, then replied: "I just said it casually, a fellow group member wouldn’t come chasing after me to question it, right?"

Though the method of adding friends was through searching the QQ number, she obviously thought Chen Yun was from the group chat coming after her.

After all, the picture of the red rose came from that group, and A Zi had spoken those words there.

However, Chen Yun did not deny that he was from that same local game group.

"Don’t you think that roses in reality have more colors than you mentioned? I also saw some deep blue outlining the edges of the petals...."

Chen Yun seriously described a small part of the additional colors he could see, without telling A Zi all of them.

But even so,

it was enough to get an excited reply from A Zi: "You can see it too?!!!!!!"

From the number of exclamation marks,

Chen Yun could tell that the person on the other side of the screen must be somewhat excited.

But... it’s not ruled out that it’s just a performance.

Performing in text doesn’t require any cost.

This left Chen Yun unable to help but fall into contemplation.

Such a reaction looks like that of an ordinary person who had mutated and was surprised to discover others of his kind.

But...

It’s not ruled out that this could be a performance, baiting him!

He had just thought to say something more.

When he saw the message from the other side: "There’s an art exhibition tomorrow at Jinjiang Art Center, why don’t you come and have fun? I really enjoy watching these artists express their emotions through colors, you probably will too, right?"

"Although these artists’ understanding of color is not as good as ours, it’s still much better than that of many ordinary people. They barely grasp the existence of our world."

Such enthusiasm made Chen Yun involuntarily pause.

Before he could say anything, this unexpected invitation hit him on the head.

It immediately made Chen Yun frown.

No! This is bait!

This must be bait!

He almost instantly came up with this idea in his mind—after all, who would be so enthusiastic on the internet?

To invite someone to an art exhibition upon their first meeting?

This seemed even more suspicious than a raggedy man trying to take a little girl to see goldfish.

Even if someone were trying to play the role of a lonely mutant, excited by the discovery of his own kind, didn’t this seem a bit too exaggerated?

This was way over the top!

The more Chen Yun thought about it, the more he couldn’t help but feel that his suspicions were correct.

Such an invitation was way too reckless, wasn’t it?

Shouldn’t their kind of mutants be more cautious when meeting each other?

Thinking this over, Chen Yun opened a search engine to look up "Jinjiang Art Center exhibition," and a bunch of links popped up on the screen describing the event.

A large venue that could accommodate five thousand people.

An exhibition that had been hyped up for three months.

Artists invited from around the world.

It didn’t seem like a plot specifically aimed at him.

Three months ago, he hadn’t even mutated, and besides, the event was quite large-scale and formal. It would be costly to use it as a conspiracy.

However...

Even if the event was not targeted at him, it was only A Zi who had the whim to choose that place for a meeting.

But... A Zi must be up to no good!

Looking at another message from A Zi—[Are you there? Do you want to go have fun?]—a contemplating expression flashed in his eyes.

No matter what A Zi intended to do,

Chen Yun felt he might as well go and see for himself.

In a gathering of thousands, blending in wouldn’t make him stand out at all—he would just be one insignificant person amongst the crowd.

And there, his Transparent World Perception could give him an overview of almost every corner.

Moreover, meeting in such a place,

It wouldn’t be possible for any big confrontation to occur.

Unless that fellow of the same kind wasn’t afraid of the iron fist from the national super-violent machine.

If that person really was that formidable, then it seemed it wouldn’t matter much even if he fell into a trap.

So going tomorrow to see if there was a fellow mutant was highly unlikely to be dangerous.

And indeed, it was necessary for him to understand what a potential fellow mutant might be like.

Thinking it over,

Chen Yun replied in the QQ chat interface:

[Sure, how do we meet up when the time comes?]

He inquired like so.

[I’m just an unremarkable little artist, I’ll be at booth 92～]

Looking at such a reply,

Chen Yun nodded and then said: [See you tomorrow!], then he stopped talking.

By now, there was no need to continue the conversation; he had acquired the information he needed.

He looked at the guy in the distance, who was still dazed because his emotions had been touched by Chen Yun’s spiritual power.

Chen Yun briskly deleted the chat history, unfriended and blocked the account, and logged out.

Then he released the guy from the mind control and didn’t look back as he left the internet cafe.
