I'm Really Going to Become an Immortal
Chapter 52 - 48: Beast Tamer?

Chapter 52: Chapter 48: Beast Tamer?

March 14th, nine o’clock in the morning.

Chen Yun, having finished his workout, quickly handed over several drafts he’d written in the past few days to editor Meteor, and then successfully received praise mixed with surprise.

According to editor Meteor, with his current writing quality, coupled with this exaggerated "feed-you-till-you’re-full" word count speed, he was sure to take off.

About that.

Chen Yun was happy, but he was noncommittal.

The necessity of making money from writing wasn’t completely absent, after all, he still had family and the desire to live a normal modern life.

However, its necessity for him had lessened significantly.

Making money was a need, but it was no longer an urgent one.

Otherwise, if he really wanted money, he would have gone to the casinos a long time ago with his outrageous abilities and wreaked havoc.

In front of him, no matter whether it was the Gambling God or the Gambling Saint, they would all have to stand aside.

If writing novels could take him to great heights, that would naturally be best.

If it flopped, that wouldn’t matter either.

For Chen Yun.

Using novel writing to pass the time during sleepless nights had become even more important than using it to make money.

After chatting with editor Meteor, who had an early morning shift, about the content of the novel for a while.

Meteor went off to attend those never-ending meetings.

Chen Yun then got on his electric scooter and headed towards the nearby subway station.

According to the Short-Term Plan 3.0, this was his free time for leisure and entertainment, to ensure he didn’t become a machine who only knew how to exercise.

Taking advantage of this time, he was going to carry out the plan he made the previous night while making notes:

That was to buy some mice for experimentation.

To test the emotional fluctuations of living creatures under stimuli in terms of spiritual perception.

Before leaving, he had looked up some guides.

An experimental mouse breeding center existed on the east side of Shucheng.

Chen Yun, however, found out after contacting them that they didn’t accept private orders, only accepting unified purchases from large pet markets and orders from major laboratories.

And for Chen Yun’s purchase of less than a hundred mice, they saw no need to make an exception.

After some research, he found that mice were indeed sold in various bird and insect markets, but there they were sold as pets, costing twenty to thirty yuan each.

Having understood the situation,

Chen Yun decided to head to a bird and insect market near Qiu Xi Road.

Taking line four, then transferring to line one.

After almost an hour, Chen Yun arrived at his destination at ten twenty.

The place was quite bustling.

Crowds of people squeezed through, mainly children and women.

In front of each shop, a variety of plants and flowers were displayed along with cages, most containing common pets.

Cats, dogs, rabbits, turtles, parrots, hamsters, colored chicks, call ducks, crickets...

Some peculiar exotic pet stores even attracted quite a crowd of onlookers.

Chen Yun looked around.

Curious about this place.

He rarely visited such places, mostly staying at home in the past.

Feeling the cacophony of voices and chaotic smells here, Chen Yun silently turned up the power of his always-on "Transparent World 2.0."

Compared to the past when he was almost driven mad by noise.

Now, facing the complex and ridiculous amount of information detected by "Transparent World 2.0," he appeared quite calm and unfazed.

Temporarily ignoring those smells of excrement, fishy odors, and noisy voices.

Chen Yun could sense the simple joy hidden in the depths of the bustling city corners here.

Here, the flow of air seemed to slow down.

Plant life crept by his feet, bird songs and insect chirps filled his ears. Lush and diverse life intermingled.

This was a stark contrast to his usual experience in the urban jungle.

The urban concrete lid was flipped open, and amidst the vivid common life breath, alive with vitality and interest, this was much closer to nature.

Faintly.

Chen Yun felt he might particularly like it here.

For Chen Yun, who had "Killing Intent" to eradicate insects and could thus avoid bug bites, for Chen Yun, who no longer needed to eat or sleep.

He had developed a certain yearning for the true wonders of nature.

As he pondered this, he suddenly looked up.

It wasn’t because the engrossed Chen Yun had bumped into someone.

He had subconsciously let his autopilot take charge of walking and sidestepping pedestrians.

Rather, it was something that was about to bump into him.

Although it didn’t trigger Transparent World 2.0’s high-speed approaching object warning, it quickly snapped Chen Yun out of his deep thoughts.

Within the sensory perception of Transparent World 2.0,

the approaching entity was clear as day.

It was a young earth-colored dog with patches of brown and white fur, feeling extremely... excited and agitated?

At that moment, it was weaving through the legs of a group of pedestrians.

Behind it, there followed a middle-aged man, visibly anxious, trying to catch up to it.

A young earth dog like this one shouldn’t be able to run very fast.

However, the dog was exceptionally excited, and with people coming and going, the pursuing man was cautious not to bump into others.

The dog, due to its small size, could quickly dart past people’s feet,

so he had not managed to catch up.

Seeing this, Chen Yun reached out to grab the young earth dog that was about to come close.

Then he immediately heard the middle-aged man nearby urgently shouting, almost roaring:

"Bro, don’t touch..."

Before he could finish,

Chen Yun had already reached out his hand and grasped the dog by the neck, lifting it up.

The young earth dog, which had been so agitated just a moment ago, suddenly became motionless, tucking its tail between its legs.

If you looked closely, you could even make out a barely colored puddle forming on the ground.

"Wow, bro, how are you so amazing?"

"This little devil has been overexcited since birth, never had a day of quietness, and it’s hard to calm it down even by holding its neck."

"Its milk teeth can’t really hurt people but can cause pain; how did it become so well-behaved in your hands?!"

The middle-aged man, having pushed his way through numerous pedestrians to rush over, stared wide-eyed,

unable to help but give Chen Yun a thumbs-up.

He swore, this puppy had been the greatest shame of his career as a pet shop owner. Even with minor punishment, nothing could subdue this creature.

This young earth dog’s attitude has always been one of defiance, impossible to overpower, only unwilling to submit.

Usually kept in a cage, it had been let out today by a clueless customer.

Then it had wriggled free and run off.

But such a willful pup,

today, had been tamed by a single grab?!

The middle-aged man swore, the subdued and tail-tucking demeanor of the pup was certainly one of fear and submission.

The surrounding pedestrians, hearing the middle-aged man’s words of praise, also became very interested and stopped to watch.

Chen Yun looked at the middle-aged man, then at the puppy nesting between its own tail in his hand, and a trace of interest crept into his smile.

The puppy had indeed been about to bite him just a moment ago.

But,

as soon as Chen Yun noticed the puppy’s movement, he simply gave it a stern glance.

A barely perceptible aura of "Killing Intent" radiated from him.

Although the intensity released was not too severe, it was enough to instantly make the puppy freeze and not dare to move an inch.

That kind of pressure, akin to being confronted by a prehistoric beast,

left the puppy with an extremely deep and bewildered impression.

Since the "Killing Intent" was only directed at the puppy in a mere whisper,

to the eyes of the people around, it just seemed that Chen Yun was an impressive... animal trainer?

And the puppy,

after a moment of fear and confusion, chose to gingerly extend its tongue towards Chen Yun, who was holding it.

A vaguely pleasing emotion radiated from it.

"How much for this dog?"

Facing the curious gazes of the crowd around him, Chen Yun approached the middle-aged man with abundant interest and asked.
