Chapter 27: Chapter 26 Short-Term Planning 2.0 (Combined Chapter)
[Subtitle: "Periodic Record Summary," "New Changes"]
......................
After the rain cleared.
Chen Yun's mood was brightened.
He had many reasons to be happy.
The occurrence of a second sleep followed by evolution meant that it might happen many more times.
His future seemed certainly destined for a path beyond the ordinary.
Even now,
Chen Yun's Transparent World, his Steel Body, Quick Recovery, and other abilities already unquestionably reached an Extraordinary level.
That was enough to excite him for quite some time.
In addition,
his happiness might also be influenced by his fresh kill of a mouse.
It was the first bloodshed after gaining his abilities.
It inevitably made him feel a bit exhilarated.
It wasn't some twisted desire for slaughter but felt more like a shackle in his heart had been unlocked.
It made him feel carefree.
This secretly solidified Chen Yun's idea to continue hunting mice.
However, considering the conspicuousness of going out daily as a mouse killer, he silently abandoned the idea.
If mice presented themselves as targets, he would naturally accept.
But he wouldn't go out of his way to find them.
Once he harbored the thought of not insisting on having mice as targets,
the plants along his way home inevitably suffered at his hands.
Just as during childhood, if he had a long stick, there wouldn't be a blade of grass left unwhacked within a hundred meters.
He too seemed to have a new toy.
Whenever he reached a place without surveillance, he couldn't help but throw a piece of broken stone casually.
Throughout the way,
many plants were hit.
His hit rate was nearly perfect, with no deviation from wherever he aimed.
Chen Yun considered that while he couldn't reach the extravagance of Plucking flowers and leaves,
he could still be rated as never missing his target.
It felt a bit like possessing the essence of Little Li's Flying Knife.
As he thought this,
the elevator dinged and arrived on the sixth floor.
After placing his umbrella by the door to drip dry,
Chen Yun first knocked at Bai Shi's door.
There was no response inside.
However, through heartbeat, breathing sounds, and various unique scents,
Chen Yun clearly discovered with Transparent World that Bai Shi was at home.
But he seemed to be sleeping, hence the lack of response to Chen Yun's knocking for quite some time.
After a moment of silence,
Chen Yun felt no need to awaken him and decided to head back home.
But just as he was about to move,
he sensed Bai Shi yawning leisurely and getting up from bed.
Seeing this, he simply waited a bit longer.
Soon after,
a sleepy-eyed Bai Shi opened the door.
"Do you want your bank card? Want to come in and sit down?"
Bai Shi said while yawning.
As he spoke, he gestured inside.
"No, I've got things to do."
"I haven't written the drafts I promised my editor a few days ago."
Chen Yun shook his head, indicating that he would not come in for a visit.
Although he had promised to rush the draft by the third, he had only written a little over ten thousand words until today, the fifth.
While this word count wasn't low, for someone who didn't need to sleep or eat and had a full 24 hours a day to utilize, it was as if he hadn't written much at all.
Therefore,
rushing back to write was merely an excuse.
What he truly wanted to do next was to go home and experiment with his body's new changes.
It hadn't even been an hour since he had woken up for the second time.
The most evident change was the addition of Super Vision and Super Smell, combining to form the Transparent World ability.
In addition,
there was the extreme Coordination Ability and the associated throwing skills, which left a deep impression on Chen Yun.
Whether or not there were other changes remained to be seen.
"It's true, after you left your last novel unfinished, you still haven't started a new one."
"If you ever need to borrow living expenses from me, just remember I operate on a 'nine-out, thirteen-return' basis."
"If you borrow two thousand yuan, then with interest, it'll be 2888.8 in a continuous loop after a month, but I'll just take 2888 from you. If you borrow three thousand...",
Bai Shi replied while pulling out a notebook from his pocket, murmuring and jotting down notes.
But before he could finish, Chen Yun pressed down on his hand as it scribbled on the notebook.
"Nine out, thirteen back? Running a usury business, huh?"
"Careful, or I might call the cops."
Chen Yun looked at Bai Shi helplessly, teasing him half-jokingly.
However, when Bai Shi heard the words "call the cops,"
he reflexively tucked away the paper and pen like a mouse seeing a cat, revealing a friendly smile and saying, "Just kidding, just kidding. With our relationship, do you really need interest on a loan?"
Seeing this,
Chen Yun couldn't help but admire Bai Shi's ability to change his demeanor faster than the face-changing act in Sichuan opera.
"Stop joking, give me the card."
Chen Yun rolled his eyes at Bai Shi, and then reached out his hand towards him.
Regarding the money,
he was quite entitled to it.
It was compensation for infringement of his portrait rights.
As for Bai Shi's remuneration, Chen Yun had already agreed to support him on one event.
Seeing this, Bai Shi also handed over the two bank cards to Chen Yun, which had the PIN written on them.
The two exchanged niceties for a while longer,
and then parted ways.
Bai Shi was planning to join the old men in the community garden for a card game and then visit the tutoring center later to mark attendance.
As for Chen Yun,
he intended to quickly head home and experiment with any other changes in his body.

March 5th.
11:30 p.m.
Chen Yun turned off the online shopping interface on his computer.
He had just bought a camcorder online, prepared to record any future occurrences of his deep sleep.
