What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Chapter 222 Observation and Control

From the moment he entered the door, Xiang Kun has actually been building a cognitive model for the people in the room. This process is continuous, especially for those who don't know much about Xie Peng and Linlin, or for the first time like Qin Ping. When they met, their words, actions, and expressions could all change Xiang Kun's cognitive model.

Through the cognitive model, integrating and integrating all the information into it will allow Xiang Kun to make judgments more freely and quickly in the social scene of many people.

Just like now, sitting on his left is Chang Bin, who is smiling and introducing their wedding preparations with Wang Han.

However, according to the cognitive model, Xiang Kun came to a judgment in an instant: Chang Bin is actually quite tired now, not very interested, and even a little irritable. Judging from the physical feedback when talking about some things, the main reason should be related to the preparation of the wedding. It may be that there are too many tedious details to discuss, and he has to deal with company affairs, which makes him a little tired;

In contrast, Wang Han, who is sitting on the other side of Chang Bin, is in much better spirits, and when talking about these things, the feedback of body information is more positive. Moreover, her taste is very similar to Tang Baona's, so she is full of praise for most of the dishes on this table, and she often picks up dishes;

Wang Han passed by, and Tang Baona's sister Bao Ting was sitting there. In fact, she and Gao Yao had already started talking about marriage, so she was very interested in Chang Bin and Wang Han's wedding preparations, and she was mainly asking questions. She is even more interested in this topic than Wang Han. Judging from the body feedback data during the chat, her focus is on the choice of wedding banquet venue, layout style and style of wedding photos;

But next to Tang Baoting, her fiancé, Gao Yao, is relatively less talkative. If he is not mentioned or if you ask him a question directly, he is basically eating or swiping his phone, and does not actively participate in the conversation. However, according to Xiang Kun's cognitive model of him, it's not that he has any opinions on the wedding or Tang Baoting, but that he has always behaved like this, and he is not used to it, nor does he know how to participate in topics that he is not good at. , afraid of saying the wrong thing or causing a cold discussion, this is actually a bit similar to Xiang Kun before;

Next to Gao Yao were Xie Peng and his wife Linlin. As the only couple present with "marriage experience", they also answered the questions of the two "prospective couples" from time to time and gave some of their suggestions. They had a divorce before, and even changed the divorce certificate. Although they got back together not long after, Xiang Kun compared the first time he saw them in the KTV box through the cognitive model established by Xiang Kun. Based on the current situation, it can still be judged that this turmoil still has a considerable impact on the relationship between them.

In comparison, Linlin's mood was a little higher, and although Xie Peng was very talkative before the meal, when he mentioned wedding-related matters at the dinner table, the feedback from various body data still showed that he was a little repulsive. . The feeling between the two of them is far less than it was more than two months ago;

Next to Linlin is Yang Zhener's classmate Qin Ping,

She is an ordinary-looking, petite girl, but she is very cheerful and seems to be interested in everything. Although it was the first time meeting most of the people at the dinner table, she was able to get involved no matter what the topic was, and she could still chat. Judging from the cognitive model established by Xiang Kun, she didn't intend to pander to her, but was really interested. In the beginning, her attention was on Gao Yao. After all, Gao Yao is a handsome guy. Later, her attention was mainly on Wang Han and Xie Peng, because they both spoke in a humorous way, even if they were talking about Both of them can say the same thing more attractively and more playfully;

Next to Qin Ping is Yang Zhen'er. In addition to focusing on the taste of the various dishes at the beginning, after everyone started eating, she focused on the dishes, especially the two Xiang Kun specially adjusted and prepared according to her taste. Most of the dishes went into her stomach. Of course, with her off-the-cuff personality, she can still insert a few words on any topic, but at this time, she is eating a piece of crispy pork knuckle while taking a video with her mobile phone. It is obvious that she wants to send it to tease Lao Xia. ;

Sitting on Yang Zhen'er's left and Xiang Kun's right was Tang Baona. Needless to say, she was the one with the most perfect cognitive model established by Xiang Kun among all the people.

And now she was holding the pair of chopsticks that Xiang Kun had created "emotional injection". Xiang Kun could sense her emotions through the chopsticks in real time, making the already perfect cognitive model more comprehensive and efficient.

Xiang Kun didn't even need to look at her, or pay special attention, he could know what she was doing, what she was going to do next, and what she wanted to do...

Xiang Kun even felt that if Tang Baona didn't do anything, he would help her pick up the food without her having to speak, and he would be able to perfectly execute her will, knowing which dish she likes the most, when she wants to eat it, and when she wants to eat it. Stop for a drink, when to drink wine and when to drink water.

Of course, this very comprehensive and efficient cognitive model cannot guarantee the same efficiency all the time. If there is a huge change in environmental variables in another place, the accuracy of prediction and judgment will decrease accordingly.

"Abin, last year or the year before, didn't you say in the group that a card game was fun? That game seems to be the product of Xie Xie's company." Bin raised his mouth.

"Which game... oh, the one recommended by Zicheng? That's really good, is it made by Mr. Xie's company?" Chang Bin also asked in amazement. He only knew that Xie Peng was a certain game when Tang Baona introduced it. The art director of the company, but he has no idea about the company name.

Xie Peng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Brother Xiang, the game you mentioned is not produced by our company. But our company also has similar games, and the graphics are actually better."

Xiang Kun smiled and said that he probably remembered it wrong, and then brought up some game-related matters, which made Xie Peng and Chang Bin start discussing game-related topics.

Although Chang Bin himself didn't like playing games as much as Xiang Kun and Zicheng when he was in college, but obviously he also hoped to change the topic of chat and didn't want to continue discussing the details of the wedding, so he chatted with Xie Peng quite speculatively .

And when Xie Peng talked about a new game that their company had just launched that was in internal testing, Xiang Kun also found through the feedback of the cognitive model that Gao Yao, who had been looking down at the phone, was still looking at the phone, but his attention was still on the phone. It's already on the game Xie Peng talked about.

Even the ladies who have just discussed weddings and wedding photos are attracted by this topic. In this day and age, girls play games no less than boys. There are not many girls playing games such as Glory, Chicken, and LOL.

Naturally, Xiang Kun didn't misremember the production company of the card game just now, but said that on purpose, actively trying to guide the topic.

Judging from the current effect, it is still good.

If there is a numerical value for everyone's emotional comfort, then Xiang Kun believes that the change of topic now can at least greatly increase the total emotional comfort at the dinner table.

"This game takes place in an overhead wasteland background, oh, it refers to the ruins of the doomsday. Everyone can create their own skills according to their different attributes and rely on the collected props and resources. Our game The framework is very free, it does not necessarily require fighting, and the profession is not very fixed, you can choose freely, the key lies in the synthesis and combination of skills." Xie Peng introduced their internal test game.

"What if I don't want to fight, but others want to fight me?" Tang Baoting asked.

Yang Zhen'er immediately said: "Then let's form a group and beat him up!"

Tang Baona smiled and said, "My sister doesn't like fighting in any games, she just likes farming, keeping pets, and collecting."

Xie Peng smiled and said, "We have a safe zone. In the safe zone, no one can touch you, and the system guards are the strongest."

Then a table of people began to discuss how to match their own attributes and how to develop their own skills. The most heated discussion was actually Gao Yao—yes, he no longer lowered his head to play with his mobile phone , but discussed with bright eyes, and even danced a little.

Tang Baona asked Xiang Kun next to her in a low voice: "If it were you, what skill would you like to combine?"

Without any hesitation, Xiang Kun said directly: "The ability to open the entire map and see the positions, attributes and skills of all players around."

Tang Baona froze for a moment, Yang Zhen'er next to him froze for a moment, and the other people at the table who heard this answer looked back at him strangely.

Generally, those who play this kind of game are pacifists like Tang Baoting, who only like to farm and raise pets in a stuffy nest, and they also mainly try to strengthen themselves or enhance the skills of farming and pets. of?

But after Gao Yao was stunned for a moment, his eyes glowed and he said, "Wonderful! It's great to have this skill!" Then he looked at Xie Peng: "Old Xie, can you match such a skill?"

Xie Peng smiled and said: "This is not a skill, it's a hang..."

Then the topic of everyone's discussion suddenly changed from the game to "if you get the power in reality, what power do you want to get the most."

The answers are varied, and some of them are very weird, like Wang Han, the ability she wants is to allow her cat "Alsace" to speak human language.

And the ability Yang Zhener wanted was what she said and the request she made, and others could never refuse or refute it. After everyone agreed that this ability was too strong and too buggy, they had to change it to say that others could not be her. Face to refute and refuse, but what you do can't affect it.

As for Tang Baona, Xiang Kun, who had already established a relatively comprehensive cognitive model and thought he knew her well, failed to guess correctly after telling the abilities she hoped to have. The ability she wished to have turned out to be double the time. Because in this way, she can handle work more calmly, and have more time to learn some knowledge, watch dramas, read comics, and make videos.

"Then why don't you just say that you don't need to sleep, eat, drink, or drink?" Yang Zhen'er said, "Sleeping about ten hours a day, including the time for eating and going to the bathroom, is almost half of it?"

"That won't work, you still need to sleep, and you need to eat, or else you're not human?" Tang Baona said.

Xiang Kun next to him touched his nose as if nothing had happened.

Naturally, no one noticed his reaction.

Gao Yao went on to say: "Then what mechanism do you use to realize this ability? Do you make your own action speed faster and others slow down to double the time, or do you have to reconnect after 24 hours?" A 24-hour period where everyone else stands still?"

Tang Baona was stunned, and then said: "This...isn't it weird? Whether it's yourself getting faster, or the other people not moving, er...forget it, I don't want this ability anymore, give me the eternal youth ability instead, Ha ha!"

"Hey? Eternal youth? I want this too!" Yang Zhen'er said immediately.

"No, you already have an ability!" Tang Baona pointed out immediately.

Yang Zhen'er glared at her: "Look, you are contradicting me! So it proves that I don't have that ability, so I can choose another one..."

Tang Baoting couldn't laugh or cry: "Why did you two become childish in an instant, so many people are watching..."

Feeling the lively chatting atmosphere at the dining table, Xiang Kun was quite satisfied with his small fine-tuning, and then he helped adjust the topic in a timely manner according to everyone's real-time status. Everyone is interested in animation, so I mentioned a few details of "One Punch Man" with Tang Baona, and then extended it to the production of domestic and foreign animation music, bringing Xie Peng, Linlin and others into the topic.

After a while, through the discussion around the game, they talked about wood carving and handicrafts, which led to Gao Yao and Xie Peng's conversation. And Chang Bin also mentioned some interesting things that happened when he did several games and animation-themed activities in the past.

Every time he leads a topic, Xiang Kun just participates in a few sentences, attracting other people's conversations and talking about sex. After more people join the topic, he cleverly "gets out" and stops interjecting. He acts as an observer and maintains his energy. Mobilize everyone's emotions as much as possible.

Xiang Kun thought, if he gave everyone a pair of chopsticks with "emotional infusion" at the table, it would be easier for him to build a cognitive model of each person at the table, and he could perceive and grasp more accurately in real time Everyone's emotions, so that he can affect the chatting situation more efficiently.

This meal lasted a very long time, not only because Xiang Kun's dishes were delicious, but also because everyone had a good chat and a lot of sex. In addition, several ladies had drunk wine, and it was the time when the atmosphere was lively. Naturally, they would not leave immediately. Instead, they quickly cleaned up the table together, then sat down on the sofa, and began to discuss whether to play some games or not.

Ten people can play a lot of games, but not too many. However, after a discussion, under the strong suggestion of Xie Peng and Linlin, the others also began to encourage Xiang Kun to sing a song.

Chang Bin also heard Xiang Kun sing a song in a bar last time, knowing that he really feels good singing now, and told Wang Han about it when he went home, so he also wanted Xiang Kun to sing a song live, to prove to Wang Han He wasn't bragging. Xiang Kun did sing and the whole bar applauded.
