I'm Really Going to Become an Immortal
Chapter 54 - 50 Advanced Control of Bai Jin and Killing Intent

Chapter 54: Chapter 50 Advanced Control of Bai Jin and Killing Intent

He hadn’t been in the taxi for twenty minutes.

Chen Yun was back home, much faster than if he had taken the subway.

He carried the dog cage and opened the door to his apartment.

The familiar lack of strangers’ presence in the room comforted Chen Yun, yet he felt a tinge of... disappointment?

It couldn’t be helped.

As he continued to evolve, with a hammer in hand, everything looked like a nail to him.

It wasn’t that he suddenly wanted to become Long Aotian; it was more like when you have a long, thin stick, it’s truly hard to remain indifferent to a cluster of weeds that are half a person’s height.

Although he always restrained himself and tried not to cause trouble,

There were still the occasional impulses in his heart.

Therefore,

Chen Yun felt that he, amidst these changes, really needed a hobby, a habit.

Keeping a pet was a good choice.

Besides, with a pet, he always felt like he was no longer alone.

Back when he was a diligent author, Chen Yun always dreamed of having a lazy cat basking in the sun on his desk as he wrote.

When tired from writing, he would just reach out and stroke the fat cat’s head by his side.

The thought alone was wonderful.

Nowadays, with his mind more focused on his own evolution,

Chen Yun still wanted to keep a pet.

Although it wasn’t a cat, a dog wasn’t a bad option either.

Pondering this, Chen Yun put down the cage.

He opened the door of the cage and prepared a water bowl and a food dish for the dog.

The earth-colored dog that had been lying quietly in the cage hesitantly stuck its head out.

It was far less excited than when they first met, running around on the streets.

In front of Chen Yun, it behaved properly and respectfully.

Even coming out of the cage and walking over to drink from the bowl, it would first glance at Chen Yun.

Such an obedient look

Made Chen Yun smile involuntarily.

As he stroked the little earth-colored dog’s head while it drank, Chen Yun reflected for a moment and said,

"How about... I call you Bai Jin."

This name, seemingly based on color, actually had nothing to do with the brown and white patterns on the little earth-colored dog’s coat.

This name actually carried some of Chen Yun’s sentiments about the past.

Back when he was an internet novelist,

His biggest dream was to become a top-tier internet writer, a Bai Jin author.

But that dream proved too difficult to achieve and remained unfulfilled.

Now,

For some reason, Chen Yun wanted to name the newly bought earth-colored dog this name.

Maybe it was a tribute,

Or perhaps it was a way to say farewell to an ordinary past.

Chen Yun wasn’t sure.

But,

Calling it Bai Jin was quite good.

Watching Bai Jin eat dog food and drink water, Chen Yun revealed a fond smile.

...

At two-thirty in the afternoon.

"I have a great strategy in mind that A Man surely needs."

"I am brimming with ideas, yet Yuan Ben Chu would not heed my advice."

"With my brilliant plan, taking Jizhou will be as easy as flipping one’s hand."

Video game voice lines echoed in the room.

According to the short-term plan 3.0, he was supposed to exercise at this time, but considering that the little white mice he bought from the Flower Bird Market in the morning were to be delivered in the afternoon,

He did a 9.7-second muscle tremor exercise and then started playing a game.

The game he chose was the famous Three Kingdoms Kill.

Chen Yun remembered the last time he played Three Kingdoms Kill was during his college days when he had spent a lot of money on card packs and still drew bad cards every game.

He angrily deleted the game.

Now he realized,

his abnormal abilities could still maintain the original gaming experience only within such chess and card strategy games.

Just as he was about to continue playing,

there was a knock at the door.

Chen Yun, engrossed in Three Kingdoms Kill, looked towards the sound and saw the hamsters he had purchased that morning at Flower Bird Market being delivered in a uniform manner.

A delivery guy stood at the door,

along with nearly half the corridor’s worth of plastic transparent boxes—forty-five mice, not one missing, all housed within these ten boxes.

Seeing this,

he got up from the sofa with the phone he was gaming on and casually flipped silly dog Bai Jin over with a light slap as it gazed nervously at the door.

"Silly dog Bai Jin, after following me, you better not be scared of everything."

Chen Yun quipped, then petted Bai Jin’s exposed belly.

Afterward, he smiled and walked towards the door.

After opening the front door,

he negotiated with the delivery man while distractedly finishing the game with his other hand.

This was not difficult for him.

Whether multitasking or playing without even looking at his phone, neither was difficult.

Before long,

the game ended, and Chen Yun had also taken the bunch of mice off the delivery guy’s hands.

After moving the boxes with the mice into the room, Chen Yun couldn’t wait to start experimenting on the small Eight Immortals table in the living room.

First,

he launched Transparent World 2.0 and performed an Emotion Perception scan on all forty-five mice.

Most of the mice were feeling uneasy and anxious, with a few already scared.

Chen Yun tried picking up a mouse with the tweezers that came as a freebie.

During this process,

the dramatic emotional fluctuations of the chosen mouse were clearly captured under the perception of Transparent World 2.0.

The other mice in the same box also exhibited significant emotional fluctuations, though less clearly than the one that was picked.

Then, the emotional fluctuations in mice from other boxes were even fainter.

Next, Chen Yun tried switching between mice to pick them out, feeling each one’s subtle emotional changes.

Additionally,

Chen Yun conducted some more stimulating experiments like squeezing and needle pricks to confirm the mice’s sudden reactions in these situations.

This experimenting went on until evening.

Chen Yun felt he had become deeper and more proficient in the use of Emotion Perception.

Besides being able to sense general emotions like happiness, fear, sadness, anger, anxiety, stress, confusion, and curiosity,

even the faintest fluctuations in emotion, whether a slight rise or fall, seemed perceptible to him now.

Thinking it over,

Chen Yun began to attempt influencing living emotions with spiritual power.

However, such attempts were not successful.

Just like how the telekinetic effects of spiritual power could not be directly applied within a living being, spiritual power itself could not directly interfere with living beings, for now.

After a moment’s contemplation,

looking at the moon that had risen outside the window, Chen Yun prepared to mercifully kill the mice that had been tormented by the experiments using Killing Intent.

But just as the Killing Intent was about to be released,

an idea suddenly struck Chen Yun.

The existence of Killing Intent seemed to share quite a few similarities with spiritual power.

Could there be a connection between them?

Chen Yun felt he had been somewhat negligent for only thinking of this now.

Contemplating this,

he tried to use spiritual power and Killing Intent together and attempted to synchronize them.

Perhaps because at their core, they truly had similarities,

the next moment,

Killing Intent, a targeted skill that could specify a single or group target or release indiscriminately, seemed to take shape.

Under the wanton molding of spiritual power, Killing Intent gained unprecedented controllability and a larger developmental space.
