What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Liu Shiling has been the focus of attention from teachers and classmates since she was in elementary school. Even though she is usually very low-key and not very gregarious, she still looks like the brightest star in the night sky. She really can't hide her uniqueness and excellence. .

Strictly speaking, in fact, since her last year of kindergarten before elementary school, she has been the most popular child with a unique temperament among her peers.

Liu Shiling not only has excellent academic performance and understands various knowledge from plants to animals to astronomy to electrical appliances, but also has core abilities in other aspects that others do not possess.

From origami and flipping coins in kindergarten, to painting, singing, dancing, and magic after improving the skills, to electric toy DIY, computer equipment DIY, to smartphones, smart watches, VR/AR glasses, home game consoles, etc. Equipment repairs and modifications, and her various "skills" are constantly improving as her age and grade increase.

There are many "skills" that even elementary school teachers, not to mention children of the same age, feel inferior to and a little in awe of.

For example, once the new holographic projection equipment newly purchased in the school's multimedia room had problems when it was first used. When the teacher wanted to contact the manufacturer's after-sales service and technical support department, Liu Shiling, who was just in fourth grade at the time, raised her hand and said, " Let me take a look." Then without waiting for the teacher's permission, he went directly to the stage, used the multi-functional screwdriver in the pencil case to remove the equipment panel, tinkered with it for half a minute, restarted it, and after a few operations, it ran normally.

Liu Shiling even shared the supporting documentation with the stunned teacher, telling her how to operate it quickly and easily and how to troubleshoot minor faults by herself. When asked why she knew so much about this newly launched holographic projection device, she said lightly that she also had one at home, which shocked her teachers and classmates.

Of course, they would probably be even more surprised if they knew that this core technology came from the commercial holographic projection equipment of "Qiankun Technology" and that Liu Shiling had already been exposed to more than five engineering prototypes during the research and development stage.

Later, the school's database was hacked and the broadcast content was tampered with to create a prank. Liu Shiling, who was also in fifth grade, was able to solve the problem three times, five times and two times five times. She also identified the suspect - a junior high school student who graduated from this elementary school because she had a relationship with the school's teacher. If there is a conflict, you can secretly retaliate through this method.

Liu Shiling also helped the school improve its basic network protection functions, introduced more reliable service providers to the school, and popularized some basic network security knowledge to the teachers.

Liu Shiling also participated in various national-level physics and astronomy knowledge competitions for primary school students, and received good rankings.

The leaders and teachers in the school, whether they have taught her or not, all know that this is an all-around genius girl.

Generally, students who are very popular with teachers and have excellent academic performance,

It is not easy to be loved by most classmates, but Liu Shiling is an exception.

And both boys and girls like her very much - boys like her not only because she is cute and beautiful, but more because she always knows about the latest electronic products, tools and the latest games from various top brands. Information, and has super DIY ability, she is an "idol" figure in the eyes of boys - everyone will want to consult her on how to choose the latest game consoles, VR equipment, and smart watches, and there is usually a small problem with the equipment. , she can point out where the fault is by just asking a few questions, which is amazing.

Liu Shiling not only has various "skills" and "talents", but she also often brings some of the latest electronic products to the school to share and "try them out" with everyone. You can often get trial codes for many top game masterpieces, and then give them to your classmates for free and distribute them among your classmates.

In addition, in addition to playing a lot with Zhang Xiaoman, Liu Shiling maintains a polite sense of alienation from other people. Unless there are activities or tasks arranged by the school every day, she will go home as soon as possible after school. Occasionally, she plays games online with her classmates, so for most of her classmates, Liu Shiling is shrouded in an inaccessible sense of mystery.

After walking out of school, Liu Shiling and Zhang Xiaoman got into an inconspicuous black car on the side of the road - this car was the latest affordable model launched by an independent car company invested by "Qiankun Technology", but this car was naturally ordinary. The production version has many differences and is far less ordinary than it looks on the outside.

As soon as she got in the car, Zhang Xiaoman greeted Yang Zhener who was driving: "Hello, Sister Zhener!" As a child of a single-parent family, her mother was busy with work and often could not pick her up in time, so Liu Shiling and Yang Zhener At her own request, she would also drive with Yang Zhener when her mother did not come to pick her up.

In fact, according to Liu Shiling's own wishes, the two of them could take the bus home by themselves, and there was no need to worry about safety issues, but Yang Zhener righteously refused.

"Little Lingdang, Xiaomei and Dalu are coming over tomorrow? Where are you going to play? I'll give you a ride." Yang Zhener said.

"No need, Old Fairy Sister, I will take them to play by myself. They are all in the city, don't worry." Liu Shiling said. In fact, not long after she entered elementary school, she tried to change her name to "Sister Zhen'er", but after a while, Yang However, Zhen'er took the initiative to ask her to call her "Sister Laoxian" because she was used to it and felt more familiar.

"That's not okay. Xiaolingdang's friends are my friends, and Xiaolingdang's guests are my guests. As the host, of course all members of our 'Zhendangman' group must be present!" Yang Zhener said.

Zhang Xiaoman whispered: "Sister Zhen'er, I'm going out with my dad tomorrow."

"Ah? Then I can't be absent!" Yang Zhener said decisively.

But on the second day, Yang Zhener was still absent. It wasn't that she overslept or forgot about it, but that she had a special mission that required her, Tang Baona, and Little Apple to travel to Europe. Yang Zhener, who had never performed a "mission" before, almost jumped up when she heard the news. Of course she would not miss this opportunity, so she could only entrust a female assistant from their company to help today.

In fact, Liu Shiling didn't need anyone to watch her. Not to mention her own strength, there was nothing on this planet that could threaten her except the omnipresent Alice.

But the parents of Xiaomei and Dalu felt free to send their two children over by plane because Shiling's mother, Yang Zhener, and Tang Baona had guaranteed tickets, so there must be an "adult" watching over them.

So, Xiaomei and Dalu were received at the airport, and then the female assistant made a video call with Xiaomei's mother and Dalu's uncle. After confirming that they had received the call, Liu Shiling secretly asked Alice to pretend to be the old fairy sister and call her, telling her She had someone else take over and let her return to the company.

The female assistant followed "Yang Zhen'er's" instructions, dropped the three girls in an old part of the city, and left.

Liu Shiling directly led her two friends through the streets and alleys skillfully, taking shortcuts in the old city, and soon arrived outside an old store that looked remote and inconspicuous.

The old shop was a dessert shop. Although it was remote and inconspicuous, there was a long queue at the door. It was obvious that the business was very good.

Liu Shiling did not queue up, but took Da Lu and Xiao Mei directly through the small door next to her and turned into the kitchen inside. When an old lady who was arranging for people to prepare sweet soup saw her, her face immediately burst into laughter. Hua: "Hey, little bell, why are you free to come over to see grandma today? Is it a holiday?"

"Yes, I just finished my final exam yesterday. I don't have to go to school these two days. Grandma Qi, I will bring my friends over to eat your sweet soup." Liu Shiling said with a smile.

"Okay, you go and sit down first. Grandma will cook it for you. Will the taste still be the same as before?" The old lady said happily, "Where are your beautiful sisters? Why didn't you come together? I haven't seen them for a long time. , I miss you so much.”

"They are on a business trip. I will come with them next time. Mine is still the same as mine, and the other two bowls are the same as mine. One bowl does not contain mango slices." Liu Shiling said, finding a seat to sit down with her two companions, and then Ordered three snacks.

Xiaomei sat on the small bench, with her knees together, her toes on the ground, and her hands tapping on the table as if playing a piano. She was obviously looking forward to what she was going to eat later, while Dalu was holding the With the mirrorless camera, I kept snapping pictures on the left and on the right.

Although the two companions who met in Star City had some contradictions and conflicts at the beginning, they have experienced some incidents and are now Liu Shiling's partners under the "super-sensory item system". Good friend.

The three of them plus Zhang Xiaoman, who joined in the third grade, have a QQ group called "Egg Yolk Protection Association", where they chat and play games and copy homework every day - of course, mainly Zhang Xiaoman copies Liu Shiling.

After the sweet soup and snacks were served, Xiaomei immediately started eating eagerly, and Dalu immediately put away the camera and joined in. As for Liu Shiling, she watched them eat with a smile for a while before starting to eat her own - she liked it very much See the expression on your friend’s face when he eats the delicious food she recommended.

"Little Lingdang, why can you always find so many delicious restaurants?" Xiaomei said with some sigh. Every time she and Dalu came to play with Liu Shiling, they would be brought all kinds of delicious food. Basically, they only had You can eat delicacies from more than five different restaurants every day, and every time you come here, you eat at a different place, rarely the same thing.

"The most outrageous thing is that she took us to find food even when we went to Xingcheng and Yecheng." Dalu also said with a smile. Xiaomei still lives in Xingcheng, but Dalu now lives in Yecheng with his uncle. A friend also came to play with her.

"Hehe, food and friends are the only things we can't live up to." Liu Shiling said with a smile.

During the years when "Uncle Bald" was away, Liu Shiling and her sisters first learned how to cook delicious meals together, but after eating a lot of failed works, they began to ask Alice to get an automatic cooking machine. The cooking machine should be able to simulate some of the special dishes of "Bald Uncle".

But after trying for a long time, the "omnipotent" and "we are invincible" Alice failed - although she knew Xiang Kun's various cooking recipes and details well, the dishes made with the cooking machine always... It's so bad that I can't explain the feeling.

So Liu Shiling and her sisters began to "sweep the streets" everywhere to try the food in various parts of the city. Every time Yang Zhener, Tang Baona or Little Apple took turns picking her up from school, they would go to different places to find delicious food.

Then if they find a place that tastes good, they will try to find ways to improve the taste and use various methods to get the store to improve the taste to their liking. Then they will use various methods to help the store publicize and provide various assistance to the store. Basically, as long as they promise, the store's business will boom, because it is not difficult for Alice to create hot spots on the Internet and create Internet celebrity food.

For this reason, Liu Shiling and her sisters will receive warm hospitality, permanent VIP treatment, no need to queue, and their own "hidden menu" in these "marked" stores.

After finishing the sweet soup and snacks, Liu Shiling took a shortcut with her two friends. Soon they arrived at an animation city, where they went to see the related peripherals of Xiaomei's two favorite animations, and then went to see " Some of the latest game peripherals to be launched by "Tengjiao Interactive Entertainment" - although Liu Shiling was able to get first-hand development information, it was a different experience to see the actual products and visit the store with her friends.

After visiting the Animation City, they went to the Electronic City not far away to see various shooting equipment and various expensive lenses. These are the things Da Lu likes. She especially likes to take pictures and use them as her paintings. Material library. Now her paintings and Liu Shiling's paintings are two extremes. Her paintings are becoming more and more realistic, while Liu Shiling's paintings are becoming more and more unreal, with all kinds of existences that cannot be seen in the real world. However, the paintings of the two The quality is very high, which makes Xiaomei, who has never been good at learning and considers herself handicapped, very envious.

In fact, after visiting the animation city and electronic city, they only bought four complete sets of mobile phone cases. They didn't buy anything else. They just enjoyed shopping and watching.

At noon, they went to a high-end-looking Western restaurant for dinner. Xiaomei and Dalu were both worried that it would be too expensive. There was no need for it, but Liu Shiling waved her hand: "Don't worry, this restaurant belongs to Sister Laoxian."

The reason why Yang Laosan bought this store was purely because when they came to eat, they made some friendly suggestions and wanted to get some customized dishes. However, this store considered itself to be very high-quality and was unwilling to do so. Cooperating with them, he not only refused them, but also threatened not to let them eat again. So Yang Laosan was so angry that he launched a gold and dollar offensive, bought the store directly, and asked him to change the taste as required.

And it has been proven that after changing the taste, the store's reputation has gone up a notch, and its business has improved a lot.

Hearing her two companions praising the delicious food, Liu Shiling looked at the food on the plate in front of her with a little melancholy. Although the taste was adjusted according to the requirements of her and her sisters, it was much more delicious than before, but compared to the "bald head" The dishes cooked by "Uncle" are still much, much, much worse.

It’s already 2025, when will the bald uncle come back?
