What It’s Like Being a Vampire

As Xiang Kun began to carve, slowly carve and polish, the whole picture and details of the wood carving gradually became clear.

In addition to eight arms, this palm-sized humanoid wood carving has eight eyes, which are arranged in two rows on the round bald forehead, and a row of fangs can be seen in the open mouth, but it is wearing a A suit jacket without sleeves, suit trousers and big leather shoes on the lower body.

This was the fear projection that appeared when Xiang Kun faced Guo Tianxiang before, and was influenced by his ability to "establish his own fear projection".

The fear projection he saw at that time was much richer in detail, and it was also much more terrifying. The whole body was covered with all kinds of ugly sarcoma, which was extremely disgusting.

Naturally, the clothes are all bursting, and there are no shoes on the feet, and they are all hideous and thick limbs and sarcoma.

That was the image of a monster he worried that he would mutate and become out of shape.

The palm-sized boxwood carving in my hand looks naturally beautified a lot.

This small wooden carving looks a few sizes smaller than the saber that Tang Baona carved before, but it is actually quite difficult. The eight arms alone are a big difficulty. It is easy to mess up with electric drills and electric carving machines. Not to mention he uses hand tools.

If you haven't sculpted a saber before, just sculpt this one, almost 100% will fail a few times first.

But now it's done in one go, and it's still carved out of wood that hasn't established a supersensory connection. To be honest, Xiang Kun himself is very surprised, so he is naturally quite satisfied.

When the wood carving was finally finished after careful polishing, Xiang Kun found that it was already bright outside. The canary "Golden Sparkle" had flown over to say hello once before, but now it was past two o'clock in the afternoon.

Before I knew it, I was addicted to carving for more than ten hours.

Looking at the finished monster with eight arms and eight eyes, Xiang Kun was really reluctant to send it out.

Thinking about it carefully, he suddenly couldn't remember why he chose to carve this monster that he had created fear projections and illusions. It seemed that he wanted to create an "original" image at that time, so he sculpted this thing unconsciously Come?

It seems that for him now, the fear of becoming such a monster no longer exists in his heart?

Where does this certainty come from?

Xiang Kun stretched his neck and shoulders, checked the information on his computer and mobile phone, and found that the netizen who had worked with him before and outsourced work to him sent another message.

"Boss, are there any fixed projects you are working on now?"

After checking the time of his message, Xiang Kun replied, "No, what's the matter, is there a live introduction?"

The last time I worked together was quite pleasant, the other party was quick to give money, and he was also a knowledgeable person, so he would not JJWW some unnecessary questions, saving him a lot of effort.

"Boss, are you interested in coming to Pengcheng to help me with a project? The general situation is..., the basic salary is..., and depending on the effect of the completion, the sponsor will have an additional bonus. From the perspective of the main cooperation, the other party is still very generous, as long as the completion is not too bad, the bonus is basically more than 30% of the salary."

After listening to the other party's introduction, Xiang Kun was actually a little moved, but going to Pengcheng would be a pain in the ass. In his case, it was difficult to go to work, not to mention the project. Fixed disappearing for 25 hours a week and can't contact anyone? Do you not have to eat when you work overtime at the company? These are troublesome, so I can only refuse.

"I'm sorry, I only take out outsourced work. If I can form a local team to do your job, maybe I can do it." Xiang Kun said, in fact, he didn't have any hope, like the other party For this kind of project, with such a large investment, you usually form your own team. Even if you want to outsource, you must find a more reliable local company or team, which is more convenient for detailed communication and future maintenance and expansion. Since the other party is in Pengcheng, this kind of company should not be too easy to find.

"That's it... Then I'll tell you over there, but I guess the possibility of agreeing is unlikely." The reply on the other side was not as expected by Xiang Kun.

"Well, okay. By the way, let me ask again, why did they choose me to lead that project? The project my former company did is not the same type as theirs."

"The job I asked you to do last time was also owned by the sponsor. They have a technical director who is full of praise for what you have done, especially the code you wrote. The logic is clear, concise and clear. There are not many comments, but they can be quickly understood, he said that reading your code is very pleasant..."

Xiang Kun was speechless. He didn't know what to say, so he could only send a panda rolling thank you emoji.

...

On the 1st, after Tang Baona went to Xiang Kun's house to eat a big rabbit meat meal last time, six days later, she came to visit with Yang Zhen'er who had returned from a trip, and ate the six dishes and one soup that Xiang Kun had prepared for them. .

After dinner, the three of them played cards for a while, because they had to get up early tomorrow, Tang Baona and Yang Zhener went back before ten o'clock.

In the car, Tang Baona played with the eight-armed and eight-eyed wood carving, a little fondly of it. Although the wood carving looked a little ugly and even hideous, for some reason, she looked at it with a strange sense of harmony.

"What kind of anime character is this? Why haven't I seen it before? The octopus in One Piece only has six arms! And these eight eyes look weird, I'm about to suffer from trypophobia..." The car drove out Yang Zhen'er in the parking space glanced at the palm-sized wood carving in the hand of his friend in the co-driver, and said curiously.

"I asked him, and he said he was just thinking about it."

"The eight arms and eight eyes that I imagined? Well, I'll ask Lao Xia later, if it means something psychologically."

Tang Baona looked at the wood carving in her hand, and she didn't really want to give it to her grandfather: "This is called art, isn't it!"

Yang Zhen'er suddenly remembered something, and said with some contempt: "By the way, the bird that became a bird at Chef Xiang's house is actually called 'Jin Shining'? You took it, right? You wicked fellow!"

When he was at Xiang Kun's house, he showed the two of them the interaction with "Golden Sparkle", which shocked Yang Zhen'er, and said that this bird has become a spirit, not only Xiang Kun can understand and understand It was too unreasonable for the bird to understand the meaning of Xiang Kun's random movements and voices.

And besides the titles of "Archery Genius", "Culinary Genius", and "Wood Sculpture Genius", Xiang Kun also had the title of "Niaoyu Master", which made her really reluctant to believe it.

"Don't you think the name 'Golden Sparkle' is very appropriate?" Tang Baona said proudly.

"I believe you ghost!" Yang Zhen'er said, but couldn't help but licked her lower lip, and sighed: "Chef Xiang's cooking skills are getting better and better, not only the rabbit meat, but also the plate of mutton, the The pork chops are also very delicious! Especially the pork chops are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, fragrant in meat, juicy but not greasy, ah, I am at a loss for words... I feel what these dishes should taste like in my imagination, they It’s really what it tastes like... No, it’s even better than I imagined, because no matter how high my expectations are, I’m still pleasantly surprised after eating it. If he wants to open a restaurant, I must lose everything and invest in a stock. He’s really in the wrong business What kind of programming, what kind of IT are you learning, and you have turned yourself into a bald head, hehe, if you started learning to cook ten years ago, you are probably a real top chef by now. Oh, Nana, you Just use your strength and take Chef Xiang down, it will be much more convenient for me to eat with you in the future..."

"Take you big-headed ghost! Drive seriously! Don't make fun of me!" Tang Baona gave her a look, but frowned and said: "However, the taste of the dry-pot rabbit meat today is not as good as last time. It tastes stronger Lose it."

If Xiang Kun heard this, he wouldn't find it strange. It wasn't that his understanding of Tang Baona's tastes and preferences had regressed, or that the taste of the dishes he cooked was unstable, but that today's dry pot rabbit meat was prepared. For Yang Zhen'er, it is naturally aggravated for her taste.

It stands to reason that the tastes of friends who often eat together should gradually converge, but Tang Baona and Yang Zhen'er have lived together for so long, and the tastes are still not small. I am a little tired. It has to be distinguished, which of the several dishes is mainly suitable for whose taste.
