What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Compared to his younger brother Liu Gaoshang, Liu Zhengyi had a much stronger sense of awe towards Xiang Kun.

In fact, he didn't really and directly see what Xiang Kun did, but from his side observations, the attitude of people he thought were very powerful towards Xiang Kun, and his intuition at certain times, he came up with some of his own opinions. judge.

At the beginning, he just thought that Xiang Kun should be a big shot with good background and status, who could make Liu Feibao bow his head to please, make Liu Caifu and Chu Xiuwen take him seriously, and make people who were several levels higher than Liu Feibao " "Mr. Qi" doesn't dare to offend him, he is definitely not an ordinary person.

After Xiang Kun moved to Chongyun Village, more and more capital came to Tongshi Town and Chongyun Village, which made him vaguely realize that Xiang Kun's identity level was probably much higher than he had previously guessed. much.

And many things that happened later, plus the occasional chat with Chu Xiuwen in the village, and the meaning he could guess from the other person's words and attitude, gave him another level of understanding of Xiang Kun.

Whether it is a fugitive struck by lightning, a thick fog suddenly covering the whole village, a UFO in the fog, or a little girl in a white dress appearing outside the passenger plane, these "events" that happen around Xiang Kun or the people around Xiang Kun are all very special. It's not ordinary, there must be a special connection, and the center point of that connection should be that Xiang Kun and Liu Zhengyi made this judgment based on intuition without any concrete evidence, but he firmly believed in his intuition.

To be honest, within a few months of working with Xiang Kun, he and his brother's monthly income plus subsidies has already exceeded 8k, which is considered a very high income in their place. Moreover, what they do is not physical work. They have always been in charge of management at the construction site. In the future, according to Mr. Xiang, they will also be responsible for the property management and security of the research base, as well as the docking work with the village and fellow villagers.

It can be seen that Mr. Xiang has a certain trust in the two brothers.

It stands to reason that he has already completed his original idea now, and he is considered "too early". Now when I meet the elders in the village who used to look down on the brothers and didn't even bother to scold them, they are willing to stop and chat, and some even take the initiative to propose a kiss for them, which they would not have dared to do a few years ago. Thought.

His brother Liu Gaoshang is very happy every day. As soon as he gets off work, he wants to go to the town to play with the girls he met in the game. If he hadn't strictly controlled him, he would have been late and left early all the time, which cost him all his salary. Spend it indiscriminately.

The eldest brother is like his father. According to his previous plan, now he should save money, then help his younger brother get a wife, then renovate the old house in the village, and then consider marrying his own wife. Although it is not yet said that he will become rich and powerful, in the long run, it should be stable and good. He thought that to get to this point, even if he followed the right person, he would not be able to achieve it in three to five years. He did not expect that everything would be like this. smoothly.

recently,

But there were some changes in his thoughts.

His plan for his younger brother hasn't changed? This kid is too heartless, if he is allowed to mess around, he won't be able to settle down without bumping his head.

But there have been some changes to my plans.

In fact, he was a little worried that he would not be able to pay Mr. Xiang a salary, and he felt a sense of crisis, so he had been thinking about how to improve himself so that he could be better qualified for the work assigned by Mr. Xiang.

Basically, his main scope of work now and in the future is in the research base, so when some experimental equipment was shipped over for installation and debugging some time ago, he wanted to learn more about it. Naturally, he couldn't understand anything.

He was not discouraged. He asked the person who came to debug the equipment for advice. The other person told him that the use was the responsibility of the researchers. There were specialized technicians for maintenance. He didn't need to do anything. He had better not move, but he There are still a lot of equipment use and maintenance manuals.

He hadn’t even completed nine years of compulsory education. When he first read it, it was like reading a book from heaven. Even if it was a Chinese manual, he couldn’t understand what it was talking about at all, so he looked it up and asked based on keywords he could understand. Then I found some popular science articles to read, and then looked for textbooks to read. In fact, many of these were the content he learned in junior high school. He could fall asleep reading them at that time, and now... he can still fall asleep reading them, because many of them involve mathematics, physics, The basic calculation content of chemistry needs to be learned from the beginning, and he really can't learn it.

But in the process, when he checked the words he did not understand, he inadvertently read some fragments of ancient Chinese prose, suddenly became interested, and read "The Analects of Confucius", "The Doctrine of the Mean", "University", "Tao Te Ching" and so on. Books, of course, most of the content is incomprehensible even with explanations, just swallowed it whole. But that's it, he is also very interested, the more he looks at it, the more he feels it.

In particular, the sentence "In order to learn more and more, to do damage to the Tao, and to do nothing", gave him a feeling of enlightenment, and then he looked at those mathematics, physics and chemistry that he couldn't stand, and he could slowly After watching it, I slowly started to learn from the most basic knowledge. Although I learned slowly, I was not impatient.

More importantly, he found that he no longer tried to quantify and understand the world with his meager knowledge as before, but had a more rounded perspective to look at and perceive.

Then he discovered that Chongyun Village, the place where he was born and raised, had some peculiarities that he hadn't noticed since he was a child. Or maybe these peculiarities have not always existed, but have just appeared recently.

He found that Chongyun Village has a "sense of tranquility" that is not found in other places, and the air seems to be fresher than other places. He is sure that this is not an illusion, but a real feedback from the body between breaths.

Then he felt that the mountains, rivers, land, trees, and rocks in the village, the underground and surrounding areas of the village, everything seemed to be alive, like a whole, a conscious and thoughtful existence, and he walked among them, You can feel this existence accepting him a little bit.

This is one of the reasons why he now insists on getting up and running every morning. At this time, he feels that the "communication" with Chongyun Village is the purest and without interference.

He had an idea that both Mr. Xiang and the current Chongyun Village and Chongyun Mountain were like a majestic building complex hidden in the thick fog, and he was guarding one of the passages to enter the building complex.

He knew that there was a group of buildings in the thick fog, but he had never actually seen it. He didn't know how big it was and what it looked like. He just acts as a loyal roadkeeper, doing his job seriously, clearing and guarding the road under his feet. When one day, the people in the building recognize him, he will also be able to see the beauty of the building under the fog. You can even get a closer look at it.

The most important thing is that this process is not painful or difficult. On the contrary, he has become addicted to it and enjoys it. His past preferences and past pursuits have become a bit boring these days.

In the distance, Xiang Kun was almost at the door of his house. Even without looking back, he knew Liu Zhengyi's general thoughts and state.

In fact, he was able to completely avoid Liu Zhengyi and prevent him from meeting him, but he did not do so and instead exchanged casual greetings with him.

When Xiang Kun is in the "super-sensory state", he often perceives the cognitive information of the people around him intentionally or unintentionally. Especially when he had to clean up the special cognitive information fragments of the "Ultimate Predator", he basically lost the cognitive information of the people around him. Everyone familiar with it has experienced it.

Liu Zhengyi's cognitive information is a bit special. Under certain conditions, his cognitive information will have a shallow information connection with a large number of "hyper-connected things" in Chongyun Village.

After discovering this, Xiang Kun instructed Alice to conduct key observations and information collection on Liu Zhengyi.

Liu Zhengyi is different from Qi Haoguo, Old Man Du, and other people who were emotionally influenced by the "Eight Arms and Eight Eyes Woodcarving" or the Four Cat Woodcarvings at Youlong Hotel and established a secondary love object link. He has not received any "love objects" The influence is not like that of Lao Xia, Little Fatty and others who had the exclusive "Super Connected Object" given to them by Xiang Kun, and they did not even get "system approval" and "will approval" from Xiang Kun, so normally, they There is no way to enter the "super-sensory object system" and no way to have a special connection with the "super-connected objects".

But Liu Zhengyi’s connection is completely different from everyone known in the current “super-sensory object system”, including a cat, a bird, and a tree. He is not with one or a few specific “super-connected objects”. "There is a connection, but a very shallow connection with the hyper-connected objects in the entire area, or a "set" composed of hyper-connected objects in the entire area.

It seemed that the person who established the connection with him was not Chaolianwu, but Chongyun Village.

This is a bit similar to the feeling between Lao Xia and that gl8. It does not specify which "hyper-connected object", as well as the information operation and detailed perception after the specific association of that "hyper-connected object", but the entire "unit" of gl8. "The hyperconnected object effects are all integrated into one for establishing connections and functional applications.

Of course, Liu Zhengyi's perception of the entire Chongyun Village is far behind Lao Xia's perception of GL8. If Lao Xia's perception of GL8 is quantified to 10,000, Liu Zhengyi's perception of Chongyun Village may not be as good as To 0.0001, it is still in a vague and vague state.

So let alone what to do with this kind of perception. Normally, ordinary people would not notice this level of perception at all, and would only think that it was just their own sensory illusion for a moment. However, Liu Zhengyi was obviously firm in his belief. That vague perception, and trying to find and train ways to enhance perception.

Xiang Kun thought that the reason why Liu Zhengyi had this kind of perception must be related to the fact that he had been in Chongyun Village for a long time in an environment full of "hyper-connected things", especially the construction site of the research base. Xiang Kun himself He planned to use it as his main "base" and established connections with almost all building materials that could establish "super-sensory connections". He also placed a large number of "super-connected tungsten steel balls" under the construction site in advance.

But now that Xiang Kun has launched large-scale hyper-connected things around the world and established super-sensory connections, there are actually many places around the world with a higher density of hyper-connected things than that construction site. However, for the time being, there is no one like Liu Zhengyi. situation occurs. Of course, it's possible that he hasn't discovered it yet.

Xiang Kun speculated based on past experience that Liu Zhengyi's special perception of the super-connected things in Chongyun Village as a whole should be related to his cognitive system.

It is very likely that Liu Zhengyi has formed a cognitive method that can fit the "super-sensory object system", or to be precise, the "Chongyun Village super-connected object system".

At the same time, although Xiang Kun did not authorize and approve him for "super-connected things", in the entire system, Xiang Kun subconsciously recognized that Liu Zhengyi was a protected "acquaintance". This may be some kind of A "secondary authorization certificate" proactively issued by Kunfei.

Of course, if Xiang Kun wanted to, he could cut off the very weak connection between Liu Zhengyi and Chongyun Village Chaolianwu at any time.

But now Xiang Kun really wants to see what step Liu Zhengyi can rely on himself. He doesn't set up obstacles or boost, just observe because in a sense, Liu Zhengyi is likely to be in a situation where Xiang Kun doesn't take the initiative to influence Under this situation, without the intervention of "emotional projection" and without the authorization of "super-connected objects", ordinary people can spontaneously reach the limit of interaction with the "super-sensory object system".

With the infinite expansion of the types of hyperlinked objects, the scope of distribution and association all over the world, and the crazy growth in the operation of him and Alice, there are almost always hyperlinked objects wherever there are people. Under the premise of active influence, how ordinary people or other creatures will interact with hyperlinked objects and "supersensory object systems" will be a topic that needs to be focused on in the future.

…

When Xiang Kun returned home, Lao Xia had just finished washing and came downstairs. Apparently she had been informed by Alice that he was back.

Alice also "reported" to Lao Xia about the battle situation last night in a half-accepting and half-showing manner, because Alice knew that these things could only be told to Lao Xia.

So Xiang Kun didn't need to tell her what happened last night. After saying "good morning", he walked directly into the kitchen and started preparing breakfast.

Xia Libing followed Xiang Kun's instructions and started making flour and kneading noodles.

"Still where you are?" Xia Libing asked while making noodles.

Xiang Kun knew what she was asking and replied: "It's still there. It's in the soil over there. Alice is guarding it. It's very stable."

The cell phone in his trouser pocket made a crisp sound: "Very stable!"

Lao Xia nodded. She asked if the "Mutated Bird" was "safe" if it was not brought back. Of course, this safety did not refer to whether the "Mutated Bird" was safe, but that it was the "mutated bird" that Xiang Kun planned for the future. Is the tool safe? Will it be discovered and killed by the "ultimate predator" or other "mutated creatures" or humans?

And Xiang Kun's meaning was very clear. With Alice guarding him, there would be no problem.

Although Lao Xia didn't ask again, Xiang Kun still added: "There are enough 'hyperlinked objects', and with Alice's attention, the 'Ultimate Predator' has no way to affect the microscopic level."

The cell phone in his trouser pocket continued: "No way! No influence!"

Both Xiang Kun and Lao Xia were used to it and ignored her.

The "special supersensory information fragment" eliminated by Xiang Kun may be "infected" again by the "Ultimate Predator", but if Xiang Kun arranges enough "super-connected objects" around the target and makes Alice If you enter a state of alert, you can kill this possibility in advance.

So the "mutated big bird" is now buried in the ground, wrapped in layers by the "subplant" roots of the "little radish", and surrounded by tens of thousands of "hyperlinked balls", "ultimate" It is almost impossible for "Predator" to directly penetrate into and decide the life or death of "Mutated Big Bird" through its influence.

And through external influence, Xiang Kun is even less afraid. When he is prepared, whether it is the "super sensory item system" or Alice's control, it is enough to deal with it.

He doesn't think that the "Ultimate Predator" dares to fight him to the death. This can be seen from the fact that it is struggling to attack the airliner by mutating a big bird.

Xia Libing said, "The original plan?"

Xiang Kun shook his head: "No, the plan has changed. I may not be able to handle it myself. I may need your help."

Xia Libing's answer was still very stylish: "Very interested."

"I'm interested too!" The cell phone in Xiang Kun's trouser pocket made a cheerful voice.

"Whether you're interested or not, you can't run away. Now, make a face." Xiang Kun said angrily. While talking, he stuffed a coin that had just been cleaned into Lao Xia's reconciled face.

Xiang Kun has already sensed that Yang Zhen'er woke up and stretched on the bed, and Tang Baona turned over and was about to wake up, and following Yang Laosan's style, she would definitely wake up Nana after she woke up, so now it's Even with warm water, it was too late to make the dough. He had to use the "Super Connected Object" to get Alice to cheat and make the dough for him.

So, within three minutes, under Alice's hard work, Lao Xia Hehao made a pot full of noodles, and after Xiang Kun took out the coins, he began to roll out the steamed buns quickly and wrapped them with the freshly made ones. The filling speed is extremely fast, like a human-shaped bun making machine.

Lao Xia set up the steamer and heated the water. Xiang Kun had already wrapped enough meat buns and put them in the steamer.

When Tang Baona and Yang Zhen'er got up, dressed, washed, and went downstairs, Xiang Kun had already soaked the soy milk, fried the omelette, turned off the fire under the steamer, and was ready to serve breakfast.

"Morning, Chef Xiang! Zao Xia! Oh, I can finally have a fresh Chef Xiang's breakfast again!" Yang Zhen'er sat down at the dining table in high spirits, rubbed her hands, and squinted her eyes in anticipation.

Tang Baona smiled and said: "You put the adjective in the wrong place. You should say you had Chef Xiang's fresh breakfast, not Chef Xiang's fresh breakfast!"

"Don't worry about it, hehe." Yang Zhen'er said, leaning over the basin and sipping a small sip of soy milk, then took a piece of egg cake and ate it in two bites.

"By the way, I had a dream last night, it was very, very interesting!" Yang Zhener said eagerly while chewing the egg cake in his mouth.

Lao Xia and Tang Baona at the dining table both ate their breakfasts silently and did not respond to her, because they knew she would continue talking.

Xiang Kun came over with two plates of steaming steamed buns and said with a smile: "Why, Yang Laosan, you didn't dream that Prince Charming rode a black pig to pick you up, did you?"

"Shit, I'm dreaming about a woolly prince charming!" Yang Zhen'er said, having already taken a meat bun and started eating it, not caring about talking about her "very, very, very interesting" dream.

But as soon as I took a bite, I was so hot that I screamed. Tang Baona next to me couldn't laugh or cry. She hurriedly went to get cold water. I always felt that Yang Zhener was like a big bell.

"Eat slowly, and no one will compete with you. If Xiang Kun makes so much, we will definitely not be able to finish it." Tang Baona said helplessly, handing over the cup.

Yang Zhener waved her hand to indicate that she didn't need it, and then exhaled for a while, finally cooling down the temperature of the bun in her mouth. After chewing it a few times and swallowing it, she drank Kuodou milk and said with a smile: "I'm hungry. I feel like having that dream last night consumed a lot of my energy."

"Dreaming can also consume your energy? You are not sleepwalking." Tang Baona smiled.

When Xia Libing heard this, he looked at his cousin thoughtfully while biting the bun.

After Yang Zhener ate one meat bun in threes, she reached for the second one and began to talk about her dream: "I dreamed last night that I was studying how to use coins to generate electricity at home..."

Tang Baona asked curiously: "How do you use coins to generate electricity?"

"It's just like Zizizi generating electricity. Forget it, this is not important. Anyway, I was studying coins to generate electricity. Little Lingdang suddenly ran home, and then told me pitifully that she was beaten in the kindergarten, and she couldn't beat her. I immediately I was furious, oh, let me go, my precious bell can be beaten? I immediately rushed over with the little bell, and I must ask for an explanation..." Yang Zhener said, pointing into a sword, and The deputy heroine goes into battle.

"Isn't Little Lingdang already in elementary school?" Tang Baona asked again.

"That's not important!" Yang Zhen'er waved his hand and continued: "I immediately rushed over with the little bell, but when I got to the kindergarten, I looked like I was lying! What the little bell couldn't beat was a guy who looked like Ultra A man-like turkey, very, very big, probably about the same size as the office building of Tengjiao Entertainment! That guy stepped down with his paw, and Xiaolingdang and I were finished, and we even got a fart! Then I yelled "Get on the cat!", and Little Lingdang and I jumped on the back of a big fat cat that was bigger than a tiger, and we ran and ran on the cat. By the way, that cat is an egg yolk pie, don't you think so? Said, it was quite comfortable to ride on the back of the cat... Anyway, we ran and ran, I slapped the egg yolk pie's butt hard to make it speed up, and the little bell threw coins behind to hit the turkey. But that turkey, It can actually fly! It flew in front of us and landed, can you believe it? It can even spit fire from its mouth! And then..."

Speaking of "then", Yang Zhen'er suddenly couldn't help but laugh, laughing so hard that she couldn't speak anymore. Then she buried her head in her arms and tried her best to control it, her shoulders shaking.

Seeing Xia Libing, Tang Baona and Xiang Kun looking at each other, they didn't know what Yang Laosan suddenly thought of and laughed like this.

After almost half a minute, Yang Zhener took a long breath, let out an ouch, stopped her sudden laughter, and then temporarily put the buns in her hands on the plate and said, "Just when Xiao Lingdang and I thought we were going to die, At that time, there was sudden thunder and lightning in the sky, and then a person fell from the clouds, a big bald man, flew directly over, and then kicked the turkey's head away. Kicked it away. , Hahahaha, that turkey head, with its eyes wide open and its mouth wide open, is so funny, hahahaha..."

Yang Zhener couldn't help but start laughing again. Tang Baona had a low point of laughter, so she couldn't help but laugh because of her laughter.

Yang Zhener laughed and said: "That big bald head is Chef Xiang, but Chef Xiang is naked and doesn't wear glasses. He just wears shorts made of leaves. He looks like a savage, but he is still bald. , Hahahahaha! In my dream, I actually thought that Chef Xiang was very handsome dressed like this, and he had a great figure. I jumped off the back of the egg yolk pie, and just wanted to say hello to Chef Xiang, and then guess what, Little Bell ran over He pulled the chef and said: 'Let's warm up over the fire!' Hahahahaha..."

Speaking of this, Yang Zhener burst into tears and laughed: "I'm laughing so hard...Oh my little snack."

Yang Zhener and Tang Baona both laughed until their stomachs ached. Xiang Kun and Lao Xia just followed with smiles on their faces and hehehe, but they were both thoughtful.

It's not that Xiang Kun is too funny, but that he realizes that Yang Laosan's dream is probably not a pure dream of hers. She is thinking and doesn't want to laugh. As for Lao Xia, she is not moved by his emotions and cannot laugh. point, but like him, he realized that this dream might be related to the "supersensory object system".

After laughing for a while, Tang Baona wiped her tears and said, "By the way, I had a dream last night too."
