I'm Really Going to Become an Immortal -
Chapter 83 - 78: First This Way, Then That Way
Chapter 83: Chapter 78: First This Way, Then That Way
After the four of them had gathered.
Bai Shi, sitting in the driver’s seat, and Sun Huwen, in the passenger seat, teased each other, calling one "the third wheel" and the other "the good girl."
They’d been affectionately bickering since the moment they got in the car.
They seemed to have endless topics of conversation, chatting about everything from one end of the earth to the other, from Shakespeare to Murakami Haruki, from moon landing conspiracies to Zone 51, from Bottus to Bruno Latour...
In contrast to those two, Chen Yun and Jiang Anping in the backseat were much quieter, presenting a starkly different scene from the front.
It was as if a Chu River and Han boundary stretched across the middle of the car, clearly delineating the different styles of the front and rear.
Apart from when they first got in the car, when Chen Yun introduced himself, followed by a polite nod from Jiang Anping,
the two in the back had no further conversation.
The two seemed to be in tacit agreement, each looking out their own side of the window as if captivated by some beautiful scenery.
Clearly, both were roped in by their brother/sister and weren’t particularly keen on going out.
After a while,
the speed of the car slowed down as they neared their destination.
The sickly sweet chatter in the front finally started to quiet down.
Chen Yun and Jiang Anping beside him both turned their gaze away from the window and exchanged a knowing look before simultaneously letting out a quiet sigh.
The tall buildings and urban scenery were no longer in sight.
The car entered a small garden that occupied a not insubstantial area within the city, a bit more open, with a sizeable central building as its focal point.
The unique architectural style of the building was eye-catching, designed like a dart poised for launch, conveying a sense of aggressiveness and strength.
Following the road signs, Bai Shi parked the car in the designated spot within the garden, where the nearby vehicles all started at prices of 500,000 and up.
Bai Shi’s Cadillac, in comparison, seemed somewhat out of place here.
But Chen Yun understood; this probably was Bai Shi’s wicked sense of humor. Bai Shi was certainly not lacking in funds.
As Bai Shi parked the Cadillac,
he took the lead in getting out of the car and, quite the gentleman, opened the door for Sun Huwen.
Then he led the three of them towards the central building.
After presenting their invitation to the staff at the door, the four of them entered what was called the dart experience hall.
As soon as they stepped inside,
Chen Yun’s Transparent World 3.0 immediately picked up quite a lot of things.
This place was indeed a professional dart experience hall.
Firstly, when it came to environmental design, it pursued a blend of fashion, elegance, and professionalism, combining modern technological elements with traditional dart culture, creating a space that was both relaxed and competitive.
The hall was equipped with international standard professional dart machines to ensure accuracy and fairness. It also offered a variety of types of dart equipment to cater to different players’ needs, such as electronic darts, soft-tip darts, and more. The venue was also equipped with soundproofing and acoustic features to ensure calm and focus during games.
Around the hall were bars and lounging areas offering a variety of beverages and snacks, allowing people to enjoy a comfortable leisure time beyond competition.
However, when Chen Yun’s Transparent World Perception extended to the building’s second, third, and fourth floors, he immediately realized that this was not just a dart experience hall but a perfect place for enjoyment and relaxation without the vices of gambling, drugs, or prostitution.
The vast second floor contained a sauna, massage rooms, card game rooms, and rooms for medical care and physical exercise.
On the third floor, it surprisingly split into a small opera theater and an art exhibition space.
The top floor was a large kitchen and dining room.
Sensing all of this,
Chen Yun couldn’t help but curl his lips slightly.
No wonder there were luxury cars all around; this place was not only a dart experience hall but also a high-end leisure club free from the unsavory aspects of yellow (pornography), gambling, and drugs.
The performance by the second-generation rich club owner hadn’t started yet; hence, the four of them simply roamed around individually.
Seeing Bai Shi and Sun Huwen trying out their dart throwing, Chen Yun also looked around on the first floor.
Compared to going upstairs, he was quite interested in this professional dart experience space on the ground floor.
After casually wandering about,
Chen Yun found his way to a more secluded corner.
He casually picked up a professional standard dart complete with a dart tube, dart wing, and dart tip and weighed it in his palm.
To be honest, it felt a bit light.
Even accounting for weights added to the dart for stability, it still felt very light to him.
But considering that he could effortlessly swing around a battle drum’s bronze hammer as if it were a toy, Chen Yun thought it unnecessary to fuss over the weight of the dart.
After all, if a dart were made to weigh hundreds of pounds, it wouldn’t be a dart anymore.
Chen Yun carefully observed the structure of the dart.
He understood that its shape was scientifically designed, theoretically one of the most suitable shapes for being thrown as a Hidden Weapon, possessing a strong ability to pierce through air.
However...
He, who prided himself on being Li Xunhuan,
had never before thrown such professional darts.
When he was previously hitting rats, he had only used small stones. Later, when experimenting to study his throwing ability, he used wooden chips he had carved himself.
So, looking at these so-called professional darts,
he couldn’t help but feel tempted.
After getting a good grip and familiarizing himself with the dart’s weight, Chen Yun stepped back several paces to increase the distance, then aimed at the target in front of him and threw a dart straight at it.
After a brief swoosh through the air,
the dart hit just a tiny bit to the right of the center of the target.
He hadn’t used much strength, so the target’s sensors weren’t damaged.
The machine beside him then quietly reported the results of his throw.
[Bullseye! Congratulations!]
After reporting, the machine automatically cleared the dart from the target, making space.
Although he had hit the scoring point of the bullseye, the fact it wasn’t absolutely in the center made Chen Yun involuntarily furrow his brows.
Frowning, Chen Yun picked another dart from the large pile in front of him.
Holding one in his right hand, he felt its weight and noted the difference from the Hidden Weapons he had previously thrown.
Chen Yun made a slight intuitive adjustment to his throwing strength and angle.
Then he threw the dart with force.
The next moment,
the dart hit the dead center of the target with absolute precision, without the slightest deviation.
[Bullseye! Congratulations!]
Hearing this, a faint smile appeared on Chen Yun’s lips.
Sure enough, throwing a professional dart for the first time felt a bit unfamiliar, hence the slight initial deviation.
For others, such a small deviation might still be considered hitting the bullseye, but to Chen Yun, it was as good as a miss.
Fortunately, the test proved it wasn’t his fault.
It was just a matter of being unfamiliar with professional darts for the first time.
After a brief adaptation, he could now hit the exact center one hundred percent of the time.
Musing,
Chen Yun took the handful of darts he was holding and threw them one after another onto the target. Each two seconds apart, with no pause, he hit the bullseye every single time.
The only reason there were two-second intervals was to give the machine time to clear the darts from the target that were taking up space.
This made Jiang Anping, who happened to walk by, stop dead in her tracks.
"How did you do that?"
Jiang Anping looked at Chen Yun with some curiosity, her gaze becoming tinged with a hint of astonishment at Chen Yun’s calm face.
She occasionally played darts herself, and just now she had been able to consistently hit at least eight rings on another machine nearby.
Yet, Chen Yun, who had increased the distance even more, managed to hit the bullseye every time without any pause; something even most professional athletes couldn’t achieve.
Chen Yun, with his Transparent World Perception, was not surprised by Jiang Anping’s passing by.
Knowing that his dart throwing wasn’t too excessive, Chen Yun didn’t hide anything and simply picked up the last dart in his hand, looked at Jiang Anping, and said,
"First like this..."
As he spoke, he picked up the dart and aimed.
"Then like that..."
After saying that, the dart was thrown and hit the bullseye.
Seeing this, Jiang Anping blinked her innocent big eyes.
Who could learn that, huh?
