I'm Really Going to Become an Immortal
Chapter 87 - 82: Exploring Confusion

Chapter 87: Chapter 82: Exploring Confusion

Despite the confusion and unfamiliarity,

but after discovering that snake meat was edible, Chen Yun didn’t get excited and rush out to find snake meat right away.

Food was not a necessity for him at the moment.

Having an appetite was good, but it wasn’t worth getting too crazy. The rational balancing mechanism quickly calmed Chen Yun down.

He was more curious than excited. Why could snake meat be eaten? Was it only the snakes used in liquor that were edible? Or was it just the type he ate today? Or were all snakes edible?

These questions immediately filled his mind.

He could trust his body’s instinct that snake meat was harmless to him, believing it was merely a snack to satisfy his cravings and hunger.

However, he needed to figure out some other things. Acting too rashly could ultimately backfire.

So, Chen Yun decided to wait until the next morning to carefully study the secrets of snake meat.

Thinking like this,

he began to follow the plans mapped out in his Short-Term 4.0 plan, including exercising, recording, typing, and entertaining himself.

After briefly testing the limit time of his muscle tremor exercise today, he began recording in the vast Memory Palace:

[Record number twenty-three: 2024.3.21 (Lunar February 12th)]

[1. Changed to a new exercise method, muscle spontaneous high-frequency trembling all over the body, dual training for spirit and body. Current persistence time: 15.4 seconds.]

[2. Major discovery: Processed snake meat is edible! Though there is a proud thought in my mind that eating snake meat is not classy, the snake meat indeed able to arouse his appetite.]

After noting the day’s data changes and precautions in his mind,

he turned to typing.

To divert his attention from the slight excitement caused by the snake meat, he tried to use telekinesis to remotely control the computer’s keyboard for typing.

This operation was not easy.

The limit precision of telekinesis was about hitting a single letter on the keyboard.

Controlling the telekinetic hands with rhythm and purpose for typing, his speed was much slower than when he directly handled typing in typewriter-level speed before.

However, his proficiency in telekinesis control,

throughout this process, had improved considerably, especially in precisely releasing and maintaining the release of telekinesis.

This made Chen Yun realize that in addition to using telekinesis to lift tissues to tease Bai jin, he also needed to add telekinesis typing as a new training project.

Using telekinesis to play with Bai jin with tissues couldn’t be canceled either, as it helped with training the maneuverability and timely changes in telekinesis control.

All in all,

telekinesis training involved many aspects, not just the proficiency of freely controlling it, but also included precise targeting, persistence in continuous release, and timely changing of direction among others.

As Chen Yun was engrossed in typing, several hours quickly passed by.

March twenty-second, seven in the morning.

The alarm Chen Yun had set beforehand went off.

He stopped telekinesis typing, grabbed his grocery basket, wore his slippers, and directly left the house. He was in such a hurry that he even skipped washing up.

However, upon reflection, Chen Yun used to wake up early and wash up when his body first underwent changes, but later he hardly washed up at all.

Besides, occasionally needing a bath due to being covered in dirt, his body didn’t produce any impurities elsewhere.

Riding his electric bike,

Chen Yun headed determinedly toward a location a few kilometers away.

No need to think too much; the vegetable market right by his house definitely did not sell snake meat.

His Memory Palace was not just for show, having lived in this community for many years. Relying on his powerful memory ability, every piece of the market floor was imprinted in his Memory Palace.

He was certain.

The vegetable market near his home didn’t sell snake meat.

This was normal, as animal protection policies were becoming increasingly strict, and the qualifications for farming snakes to supply the market were increasingly hard to obtain.

It might be okay in areas with a tradition of eating snake like Cantonese cuisine, but in Shucheng, it was not easy to find a place with the qualifications to sell snake meat.

But Chen Yun remembered that about five kilometers nearby, there was a place that sold snake meat, not a snake farm but a small vegetable market.

That place sold some unusual and exotic foods. Although they strictly complied with the animal protection ordinances to avoid being closed down, there were indeed quite a few edible creatures there that common people wouldn’t try.

Chen Yun had once gone there with Bai Shi, where eating snake wasn’t considered peculiar, and there were two or three shops selling snake meat.

Now, he couldn’t possibly be mistaken in his memory and was determined to head there.

Less than twenty minutes later.

Just as the day began to lighten, Chen Yun reached his destination.

On both sides of the street, there were shops selling unusual edible animals, with several delivery vans at the market entrance just arriving, and a few empty ones that seemed to be there to stock up.

Chen Yun parked his electric bike at the entrance of the market.

Carrying his grocery basket, he walked directly into the market with a clear destination in mind.

Stopping in front of the nearest snake meat shop,

Chen Yun quietly observed the various snake meats displayed at the shop’s stall.

Each large basin contained wriggling entangled live snakes, while the shop itself had quite a few processed snake meat pieces.

After releasing Transparent World Perception, he noticed an interesting phenomenon.

After his spiritual power reached out, only dead snakes made him feel an appetite; live snakes seemed to be covered by a membrane that isolated perception, preventing him from feeling any desire to eat them.

Chen Yun thought that this phenomenon might be related to spiritual power not being able to penetrate living organisms.

Before going to Flower Bird Market and Laojun Mountain, Chen Yun hadn’t noticed an appetite for snakes. Now, there seemed to be a reasonable explanation.

Moreover, feeling appetite for different types of snake meat also clarified another issue.

It wasn’t just the snakes used for making wine last night that were edible.

Standing there for a while, Chen Yun had immediately figured out several puzzles in his heart.

While pondering, the shop owner greeted Chen Yun with a hearty smile.

"How about it? Which one would you like?"

"I have Black-browed Racers, Gray Rat Snakes, Rat Snakes, Black Rat Snakes, and Crimson Chain Snakes — all of them are harmless common meat snakes."

"They are all artificially bred species, rest assured they are not protected animals. I have certifications for all."

Wearing gloves, the shop owner spoke and directly scooped up a handful of meat snakes from a pile of boxes, bringing them closer to show Chen Yun.

Perhaps worried that Chen Yun might be scared, the owner did not bring the snakes too close.

But Chen Yun was not scared at all.

Not to mention that these meat snakes were non-venomous. What about venomous snakes?

Even if venomous snakes bit him, their venom could not breach his defenses.

So, Chen Yun boldly leaned in to check the vitality of the few snakes the owner was holding.

One of them, seeing Chen Yun leaning closer, immediately tried to bite.

However, Chen Yun quickly slapped it aside, causing it to straighten and quiet down.

"Sorry about that, I’ll definitely buy this one."

Chen Yun apologized with a slight smile and then stood up straight.

"No problem, you’re really brave and quick to react."

The owner chuckled and praised Chen Yun.

Most of the restaurant procurement managers who usually come to stock up, and the occasional individuals looking for something exotic to eat, were nowhere this courageous.

Even if the snakes were non-venomous, they’d still wear long gloves to touch them, unlike Chen Yun.

"How do you sell these snakes? Which one tastes better? Any recommendations?"

Chen Yun asked the owner.

He wasn’t worried about the owner tricking him, as his Emotion Perception ability was like a Divine Skill for bargaining.

"Each definitely has its own price, but if you asked for my recommendation, Black Rat Snakes are cheaper."

"Besides being tender and delicious, it is also a traditional Chinese medicinal herb known for its nourishing and strengthening properties, effective for symptoms like weak knees and dizziness caused by kidney deficiency."

The owner explained, setting down the snake in his hand and picking up a Black Rat Snake from another box.

This Black Rat Snake had a brownish back and two black stripes running vertically down its spine.

Chen Yun didn’t pay much attention to the emotions of this soon-to-be food Black Rat Snake, but rather focused on sensing the owner’s emotions.

It was undeniable; the owner’s emotions were full of sincerity.

For a moment, it made Chen Yun feel like he was throwing powerful punches into cotton.

If this owner dared to trick him, Chen Yun would strike back hard and get the snakes for free, and he doubted the owner would dare call the police.

After all, those in this business couldn’t claim to be completely clean.

He might have the certifications for breeding meat snakes, but not all these snakes might be bred.

So for a moment, Chen Yun felt a bit perplexed and cautious.

After pondering for a while.

Chen Yun still began bargaining; it was a necessary ritual.

After an intense discussion.

Chen Yun concluded the bargaining.

At roughly seventy bucks per pound, he bought five live Black Rat Snakes.

The other Black-browed Racers, Gray Rat Snakes, Rat Snakes, and Crimson Chain Snakes here were also bought, each at different prices.

All were packed into a bamboo basket, covered with a bamboo lid.

Although he could be sure all the snakes here were edible, he still planned to try each of them if possible.

Besides,

He also asked the owner for a business card and contact details, telling this reasonably honest owner that he might become a regular customer in the future.

If there turned out to be no issue after this batch, he’d probably need to place regular orders.

Thinking.

With the basket in hand, Chen Yun was about to leave when he noticed a shop selling lizards nearby, sparking a thought in his mind.

As is widely known, the seven levels of biological classification are kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species.

Currently, he could preliminarily guess he enjoyed eating all snakes, that is, within the class Reptilia, Suborder Amphisbaenia, and under the order of snakes, which includes 18 families and over 3400 species.

So...

Could other species under the class Reptilia but above the order of snakes also be edible?

Thus, before leaving, Chen Yun stopped by the neighboring stall to buy some Beaded Lizards, which also belonged to the class Reptilia, Suborder Amphisbaenia, but the order was lizard.

After finishing up,

Chen Yun placed the bamboo basket filled with meat snakes and lizards on the footboard in front of his electric bike and headed towards Mingwang New Village.
