I'm Really Going to Become an Immortal

Chapter 90: Chapter 85: What the fuck? A meal’s worth of kids?

He simply ate a few bites of snake meat.

Feeling that although his body detested it very much, yet with each bite, there was a reluctant sense of satisfaction.

Chen Yun couldn’t help but smile wryly.

This was no different from saying no with one’s lips, but the body responding honestly.

Fortunately, Chen Yun had good self-control. After eating for a bit, he put the remaining snake meat in the fridge for temporary storage and then started on the important tasks.

He went to the balcony and began to conduct simple observations on two groups of plants.

The parts of the garlic that touched water had become slightly moist.

Whether it was the group subjected to killing intent or the control group, the bottoms of the garlic cloves had started to show subtle changes. Tiny white sprouts emerged from the firm bases of the cloves, the initial roots of the garlic.

Clearly.

Since planting them yesterday, the frequent application of intense killing intent seemed to have no visible impact on the garlic’s rooting process for the time being.

Chen Yun then looked at the cut willow branches.

Now, just one day after planting them, both groups of willow branches showed no signs of rooting, and there was no apparent effect from the killing intent.

As for the several pots of fortune plants, Chen Yun hadn’t noticed any new leaves unfolding or old leaves falling off.

There didn’t seem to be any difference between the plants subjected to killing intent and the ones that were not in the control group.

For now, it appeared that killing intent had no effect on plants.

But these plants had only been subjected to the killing intent test for one day, and even because of Chen Yun’s busy schedule, they hadn’t been exposed to the killing intent continuously throughout the day; the total duration of exposure to killing intent amounted to at most two to three hours.

In such a short time.

It was normal not to notice anything.

Even if a conclusion really had been drawn, they would need to extend the duration and repeat the experiment to be confident that the conclusion drawn in this short time was sound.

In summary, the observation period was insufficient.

Continuous observation and experimentation were still needed.

Thinking this, and after recording today’s observed plant changes—minuscule down to the millimeter—into his memory, Chen Yun finished his tasks for the moment.

He casually took out a plate of snake meat, sliced as thin as cicada wings, from the fridge.

Completely unafraid of parasites, Chen Yun went over to his computer desk and, while eating the extraordinary snack, he turned on his computer to pass the time watching a game commentary.

...

At two o’clock in the afternoon.

Chen Yun had thought that since Bai Shi had left for a date two hours ago, no one would disturb him.

It was just as well that his short-term plan 4.0 for seeking the soul had come to a close.

During this newfound free time, he intended to enjoy the rare indulgence of his appetite, watch various game streamers during his meal, and tease the silly dog Bai Jin.

But plans can’t keep up with changes.

A phone call suddenly came in.

Chen Yun glanced at his not-so-distant mobile phone screen with the idle use of his Transparent World 3.0 Perception Ability. It was an unfamiliar number that he had never seen before.

His 10N telekinesis easily picked up the phone and brought it to his ear.

This wasn’t because he was worried about not being able to hear the person on the other side of the call, but rather, he was concerned that if he was too far away, the person on the other end might not hear him clearly.

After he answered the phone.

A young man’s voice came through.

"Hello, is this Mr. Chen? I am the delivery specialist from the exclusive courier service. May I ask if you’re available to come down and sign for your package now?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yun raised his eyebrows, realizing it must be the customized dumbbells he ordered. Under the request for urgent and expedited delivery, they had arrived just one day later.

"Where are you guys?"

He inquired.

"We’re just downstairs, at the entrance of Mingwang New Village B area, across from a small river, at that door."

"We’re in a truck. Are you available to come out and sign for it now?"

The courier spoke truthfully.

Upon hearing this.

Chen Yun’s constantly active low-powered Transparent World cranked up to full force.

Because Chen Yun’s apartment building was right next to the B area entrance, along the road outside the gate.

Therefore, Chen Yun’s Transparent World Perception, which covered a radius of eighty meters, easily extended out onto the street outside the B area entrance.

He saw a truck parked at the door, inside of which were the customized dumbbells as well as some other items that needed to be delivered to others.

Four people stood beside the truck chatting about something.

Previously, because the truck wasn’t on the particular watch list of his normally active Transparent World, Chen Yun had not paid attention to it parked under his building.

"I’ll come down now; wait for me a few minutes."

As Chen Yun responded, he directly pushed open the door and headed downstairs.

Two minutes later, Chen Yun casually made his way to the vicinity of the truck.

And as Chen Yun approached, the four men who were gathered together, chatting and joking, looked over.

"Mr. Chen, right? Could you tell me the last four digits of your phone number, please?"

A man wearing a baseball cap manipulated his phone for a moment, brought up a screen to enter a digital verification code, and looked at Chen Yun.

"7857."

Chen Yun quietly stated the last four digits of his number.

After the man in the baseball cap verified the relevant information, he couldn’t help but look up, smile at Chen Yun, and tease, "Mr. Chen, your package really is heavy. I heard our sorting colleagues almost went crazy with it today."

Upon hearing this,

Chen Yun chuckled and replied, "Hey, just bought some fitness equipment to get a bit of exercise. Sorry for the trouble."

Saying this, Chen Yun pulled out a cigarette and passed it over, then distributed three more to the baseball cap’s colleagues.

He didn’t smoke, but he always carried cigarettes with him.

It was a habit developed during his factory internship.

Seeing this, the man with the baseball cap smiled and didn’t waste more words.

He placed the cigarette behind his ear.

Then he motioned for his three colleagues to come over.

Chen Yun also stepped aside.

The four men clearly had a defined division of labor, clearly having arranged how to unload the goods beforehand.

Three of them stood behind the open doors of the truck.

Another used a specialized mini forklift to bring a wooden crate to the edge of the truck compartment, then slowly pushed it towards the ground, little by little.

Then,

the two or three men outside took three wide-faced jacks, extended them, and braced them against the bottom surface of the wooden crate that had already been pushed out.

Once the wooden crate was completely off the truck, the three outsiders maneuvered the jacks downward.

The unloading was done in a few moves.

"Buddy, you guys should have an elevator, right? Taking it up to your floor would cost quite a bit extra, but if there’s an elevator, we’ll try to charge you a little less,"

the man with the baseball cap said as he patted the two-meter-long, half-meter-high wooden crate.

He assumed that Chen Yun couldn’t carry the thing away by himself.

After all, the crate was very heavy, and it wasn’t because they thought Chen Yun looked only about 175 cm tall that they believed he couldn’t carry it away. It was because the four of them, each around 180 cm tall and robust, could barely lift it by themselves for a moment.

And his words weren’t meant to be troublesome.

In fact, this item, including the crate, weighed 305 kilograms—it certainly wouldn’t be easy to move upstairs. Or rather, even moving it on flat ground could exhaust someone to death.

Even if there was an elevator to save most of the effort, at least some money should be charged.

His promise to charge less was already out of consideration for Chen Yun’s gesture of distributing cigarettes upon arrival.

With an elevator, the four strongest men in their company, along with a small trolley from the truck, would only need to expend a tremendous effort during loading and unloading, and that was pretty much it.

Charging a little less was acceptable.

"No worries, I won’t trouble you guys."

Chen Yun smiled politely.

He then slowly approached the wooden crate, which was securely resting on the three jacks.

Before the four burly men could contemplate what Chen Yun was preparing to do, their originally perplexed expressions instantly turned to shock, incredulity, and then gradually to admiration.

Ah?

No way!

What the hell?!

You’ve got to be kidding me!!!

The four strong men, still in shock, dropped the cigarettes from their mouths onto the ground.

They saw Chen Yun, with the wooden crate hoisted onto his shoulder, pretending to struggle as he walked up to the four men, turned his head with a polite smile, and then started walking slowly towards Mingwang New Village.

Although after taking a couple of steps he pretended to be tired, setting the crate down to rest,

it still left the four men standing there silently, watching Chen Yun’s retreating figure for a long time, unable to get over it.

A sense of awe arose spontaneously.

Only they, the four disheveled strong men, knew just how heavy that crate was.

Only a man can understand just how alluring this kind of vigor is.

At this moment, only the term "human-shaped monster" could describe the departing figure.

"He just said he bought some fitness equipment, right?"

"How many kids’ worth of food do you have to eat to get to this level?"

The burly man in the baseball cap couldn’t help but mutter softly to himself.
