What It’s Like Being a Vampire

"You can't say that anyway! Uncle Xiang and Aunt Shen are very old. What if this scares someone?" Tang Baona said decisively.

Yang Zhener whispered: "With Alice watching, what could go wrong..." She is now very confident in Alice's ability to protect her, because last year her grandfather had an emergency, and Alice solved it directly from the air. Even her grandfather himself didn't want to go through hell. She only learned about the danger at that time when Alice came to her to "report" like taking credit.

Little Apple played with the globe on Xia Libing's desk and said thoughtfully: "Didn't Uncle Xiang arrange corresponding countermeasures? For example, a tips bag or something, so that we can take it apart and take a look when we encounter problems?"

So Tang Baona and Yang Zhener simultaneously turned their attention to "mini Alice" who was playing a game console with Liu Shiling next to the sofa in the office.

The Alice in the office at this time is not the usual "Juxian Alice" who is about five or six years old, wearing a white skirt, black leather shoes, holding a scalpel, delicate and cute facial features, and the appearance of a little old summer that they usually see. , but a little girl about two years old.

This little girl can still see the appearance of little Lao Xia, but it is more real, and it will always exist and will not disappear.

This is the real body that Alice "created" just this year through the improvement of her overall ability system through thousands of "super coins", through the "super-sensory item system", and through the staged transformation to Kun. It is similar to Mr. Liang's reconstruction of his body.

Alice's original plan was to directly simulate the state of a human newborn baby, arrange it according to the normal human growth model, maximize the "real" human body construction, and start her "life".

But when trying to build it, Alice discovered that without the maternal gestation process, it would be difficult for her to accurately ensure the physical development of the baby. There would be a certain chance of failure, physical defects or even death. Of course, if she had enough time and conducted many experiments, she would definitely be able to solve all the problems and make herself the most perfect baby.

Unfortunately, her boss had given her instructions that she could only support her in constructing one body for the time being, so even if there was only a 1‰ chance of failure, she was unwilling to take the risk. The final result was that the initial body she constructed was no longer a newborn human being. A baby, but a baby that is close to two years old.

This body is no different from a human being from the outside, and its microscopic composition is basically the same. It also needs to eat and sleep, and its body will also grow and transform from a child to an adult.

However, there are also many things that are fundamentally different from ordinary people. The most fundamental point is that she is completely "constructed" by high-dimensional factors, and has a large part of the characteristics of "mutated organisms".

However, these high-dimensional factors do not exist directly in her body alone, and are not completely controlled by her consciousness. In essence, these high-dimensional factors still belong to the entire "supersensory object system" and still belong to Xiang Kun.

At a higher dimensional level, these high-dimensional factors exist in her body, the "super coin", and Xiang Kun at the same time. They serve as a channel for abilities and characteristics, allowing this new body to use part of The abilities within the "super-sensory item system" can use the "super-sensory item system" to obtain the evolutionary ability of "mutated creatures" and transform themselves.

At the same time, some of the "mutated creatures" have characteristics that are "burdensome" to her, such as the need to drink blood, stage limits, restrictions and weakening of some body functions after sunrise, and differences in the digestive system compared to ordinary similar creatures. Being unable to eat normally, falling into deep sleep after swallowing other "mutated creatures", etc. can all be transferred and carried by the "super-sensory item system".

Through the differentiation of members within the system - such as the entire secondary capability platform controlled by "Little Carrot".

In comparison, the body created by Alice is even more powerful than the reconstructed Mr. Liang. After all, she can use most of the abilities of the "super-sensory object system". In other words, she can use the abilities that Mr. Liang knows. She can do things that Mr. Liang doesn’t have.

Just like a small terminal, relying on the super network transmission rate and cloud service permissions, complex calculations are completed in the cloud, and there is no need to install software or store data, so there is no hardware heating, insufficient storage space, or poor performance. On issues such as software iteration.

There are a lot of advantages, but all the disadvantages are unnecessary.

This is a benefit that, except for Xiang Kun, only Alice, the "GM" of the "Supersensory Object System", can obtain. After all, her consciousness exists directly on the "Supersensory Object System" and her body is completely controlled by the "Supersensory Object System". "Item system" reconstruction, all are the most suitable matches.

When "Baby Alice" was first born, in order to ensure that there was no problem with the integration of her body and consciousness, Lao Xia kept her in the base's underground laboratory and her own room for observation and communication.

Anyway, for Alice, "baby Alice" can't go out to play, and there is still a "little old summer version of Alice" who can appear and run around. When Xiang Kun enters the sleeping stage of phased transformation, as long as there is With Lao Xia's permission, she can appear all the time, and her freedom is super high, so she won't have the boredom of being locked up.

But what makes her more depressed is that Lao Xia, as a "temporary guardian", does not make her milk powder, feed her rice cereal, change diapers, put her to sleep, or play with toys with her. She has to go through the base's internal logistics to even these things. Management system, dispatched people to buy and deliver it, and then he showed up as "little old summer version of Alice" to warm up milk and feed herself. As for changing diapers, she didn't need to, after all, she was not really a two-year-old child. .

At the beginning, Alice acted coquettishly with Lao Xia, saying that she was just a real baby who couldn't take care of herself. She had to be taken care of hand by hand, fed, coaxed, and accompanied. Moreover, from the outside, she looked cute and adorable. The appearance of a two-year-old girl is indeed very convincing.

However, she was facing Lao Xia, who not only understood her condition extremely well, but also had max immunity to "cuteness", so when faced with her acting coquettishly, she either had a rational discussion and tried to analyze her psychological feelings and physical condition. , or are completely indifferent.

"Lao Xia, Lao Xia, I'm hungry." When it was time to eat, Alice sat on the crib, stretched out her hands and said pitifully to the room monitor, and then the picture was forcibly sent to Lao Xia's office computer. superior,

Lao Xia would say: "Isn't the food on the table? It's all fully automatic heating equipment. You can get it yourself."

Alice acted cute and coquettishly: "I'm a baby, I can't do it myself."

Lao Xia then said: "Didn't I give you the permission? You can take care of yourself. You are invincible."

Alice: "I am not 'Invincible Alice', I am 'Baby Alice'! Two Alices cannot appear together."

Lao Xia: "You can."

Alice: "It's going to go crazy."

Lao Xia: "Not really."

Alice: "..."

And at night, when Lao Xia comes back to sleep, "Baby Alice" will also act coquettishly: "Old Xia, Lao Xia, tell me stories to coax me to sleep."

So Lao Xia would say to the mobile phone: "Alice, tell you a story to coax yourself to sleep."

Alice: "..."

However, although Lao Xia did not take care of "Baby Alice" as a real baby, he still spent a lot of time with her and conducted... various tests.

She had a lot of communication with "Baby Alice" and also conducted continuous observations in order to evaluate "Baby Alice's" physical functions, "mutant creature" characteristics, and the degree of integration between consciousness and body.

In fact, Lao Xia is also very supportive and interested in Alice's "Incarnation Project". This is a good opportunity to understand the nature of consciousness and the relationship between consciousness and the body.

Moreover, she is also very happy to see Alice become more and more humane. Although she knows that this is a path that she cannot imitate and belongs to Alice, it is also very rewarding for her to witness the whole process. reward.

Lao Xia didn't let "baby Alice" stay at the base for too long. A month later, when Yang Zhener came to the village to look for her, he asked her to take Alice to Pengcheng City.

In Pengcheng, "Baby Alice" spent most of her time with Tang Baona or Yang Zhener, claiming to be the child of Yang Zhener's relatives and living with them.

Liu Shiling would come over to play with "Baby Alice" every day after school. Compared to Lao Xia, Little Fatty, Yang Laosan and Nana, they had no interest in the two-year-old "Baby Alice" who was extremely cute. No resistance left.

Although they also knew very well that this little baby who looked about two years old and was very similar to Lao Xia when she was a child was Alice, whom they got to know day and night and were very familiar with, but looking at this cute appearance, they still regarded her as two people. Taking care of a year old baby.

Moreover, Shi Ling's mother, who had helped take care of her for a few days, kept praising her, saying that Zhen'er's little niece was so well-behaved, so cute, and so adorable. She originally thought that her family, Liu Shiling, had already been relatively worry-free when she was a child. However, compared with Zhen'er's little niece "Xiao Ai", she is still much more naughty and mischievous.

According to Shiling's mother, this little girl named "Xiao Ai" is not only good-looking and cute, but also very well-behaved. When she is hungry, she will beg for food sweetly and when she wants to sleep, she will also take the initiative to ask for food. Tell a story, and then fall asleep after listening to the story for five minutes. When nothing happens, she is as quiet and elegant as a little princess. She is really cute and well-behaved.

Unlike when Liu Shiling was this age, she wanted to eat everything she saw, couldn't move her butt when watching cartoons, didn't want to go home when she went out to play, didn't want to sleep when she had fun, and she was very glass-hearted, a little bit When something bad happened, I would cry loudly, and then I would happily eat some delicious food, even if the snot from my nose almost flowed to my mouth.

Of course, what she didn't know was that the reason "baby Alice" was so well-behaved was because she was embarrassed to make trouble in front of her, and because she was used to being "disciplined" by Lao Xia at the research base in the month after her "birth". .

When only Yang Zhener, Tang Baona, Little Apple, and Little Fatty were around, "Baby Alice" was still very "naughty" and would act coquettishly about everything and hug her wherever she went.

Of course, because "Baby Alice" is so cute, everyone is happy to hold her. Even Liu Shiling, who is already in fourth grade, often carries her around and gives her whatever delicious food she has first. When Yang Zhener picked her up, he bought ice cream, ice cream, snacks, etc. on the way. His first reaction was to go home and eat with his little sister, as he really treated her as his own sister.

During this National Day holiday, "Baby Alice" naturally followed Tang Baona and the others back to the research base in Chongyun Village, the place where she was "born".

At this time, in Lao Xia's office, "Baby Alice" was playing AR games with Liu Shiling on the sofa.

Liu Shiling, who has entered the fourth grade of elementary school, has grown a lot taller. Although her face is still a bit fleshy, it is no longer as plump and bouncy as she was in kindergarten, and she has begun to look a bit more delicate.

On the contrary, "Baby Alice" went to Pengcheng City to live with Liu Shiling and Yang Zhener for a few months. Although her eyebrows and facial features are still very delicate, and she can tell that she looks like "little old Xia", her face is very obvious. When she gets Q, she looks more like a chubby girl at first glance.

When I walked with the little chubby girl in the community, everyone said that the two sisters looked like...

Yang Zhener often said that this is the law of "the bell is close to the bell".

The Switch-like handheld game console the two are playing now is an entry-level game device newly developed by "Tengjiao Interactive Entertainment" specifically for children.

"Tengjiao Interactive Entertainment" has developed rapidly in the past three years. Its game development department, with the technical support of "Qiankun Technology", has not only launched exclusive game consoles, hardware and software standards that lead the new generation of technology, and disruptive Equipment and games can almost be said to be the "post-Antarctic crisis era", the world's number one game company and hardware company.

The AR game that Little Fat Girl and Alice are playing now actually allows two virtual villains on their respective game console screens to fight in a real environment - on the sofa. They can control the real environment and terrain, such as the sofa. The back, the armrest of the sofa, the coffee table next to it, the water glass on the coffee table, etc. will interact with the terrain, bump into, jump over obstacles, and even simulate and destroy the real environment on the screen.

Although "Tengjiao Interactive Entertainment" already has more powerful and interactive AR games and AR devices, those devices and games are very expensive, and this handheld console is specially prepared for children, so how to reduce the cost? , is the most important thing - the current problem is that there is no way to put it into production with a cheaper solution, unless the gameplay is greatly sacrificed, but in this case it will be unworthy of their company's name. The price can be set high, but it is destined to be a luxury toy in the hands of only a very small number of people, so it has little meaning.

Giving Alice a try is actually asking Alice to give her a solution. Now that she encounters obstacles that Tengjiao Interactive Entertainment’s own technical department cannot solve and cannot overcome in a short period of time, Zhang Qian has become accustomed to asking for help from Qiankun Technology. Anyway, leaving it to Tang Baona and Yang Zhener can solve it quickly. .

Hearing what Little Apple said, "Baby Alice" who was sitting on the sofa put down the game console, turned around and raised her chubby little face, and said in a sweet voice: "No, the boss doesn't have any tips, so he just said he has something to do." If you are unsure, just ask Lao Xia and let Lao Xia make the decision."

Then everyone's eyes turned to Xia Libing behind the desk again.

Seeing that Xia Libing didn't answer immediately and seemed to be thinking, Liu Shiling couldn't help but said: "How about we tell our grandparents that the bald uncle is practicing a powerful magic... martial arts... or something, now? It’s the critical moment, you can’t see people, otherwise you will become obsessed with it and your cultivation will fail. If your grandparents don’t believe it, Sister Laoxian will come and show you some illusions, and tell your grandparents that our magic...wu magic is all My bald uncle taught me to convince them!" This idea had actually been in her mind for a long time, but she was still embarrassed to say it out.

Yang Zhener touched her chin and nodded slightly: "Well, Xiaoling, this is a good idea."

"You two..." Tang Baona didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "If you really tell your uncles and aunts like this and make up your fancy illusions, they will probably be even more worried."

At this time, Xia Libing spoke: "I'll take Alice for a walk."

"Ah?" Everyone was a little confused.

Xia Libing continued: "I will take Alice to meet Xiang Kun's parents and ask them to give her a Chinese name."

Yang Zhener couldn't help scratching her head: "What does this mean? Isn't it nice to call Alice? Why do you need to choose a Chinese name and ask Xiang Kun's parents to get it?"

Tang Baona was the first to react and couldn't help but smile: "Wonderful!"

Little Apple also clapped the globe in her hand and said with a smile, "Sister Bing is so treacherous."
