What It’s Like Being a Vampire

There was a crisp sound from the speaker in the room, and Xiang Kun knew that it was Alice's reminder to complete the task.

Back in the house, Xiang Kun sat in front of the computer: "Tell me your opinion."

Alice's voice sounded: "I have two points of view..."

Upon hearing this sentence, Xiang Kun couldn't help grinning, and complained in his heart: Last time it was also two points. Could it be that Alice fixedly summed up two points of view?

Alice naturally didn't know what he was thinking, and continued without a single pause in her voice: "First, the charging method of the mutated spider is not optimal, and you can optimize it according to yourself and find a more stable charging method;

"Secondly, corresponding equipment can be made for assistance based on the flight principle of the aircraft."

After hearing this, Xiang Kun nodded slightly. In fact, he had considered these two points.

The first point is that mutant spiders can use the electric field changes when lightning occurs to charge, because it was born in the wild, grew up in the wild, and evolved and mutated in the wild, so the most convenient way to "charge" is to use lightning to generate electricity. time environment.

But Xiang Kun is a human being, and the invention and utilization of electricity is the most important reason why human science and technology can develop to the present level.

In human society, as long as you have money, you can obtain a large amount of stable, pure, safe, and continuous electricity, which is a condition that mutant spiders do not have.

Xiang Kun believed that after he experienced the "charge" state a few more times, figured out the ability model obtained from the mutant spider's blood, and perfected his cognitive model of "atmospheric electric field" and "royal electric flight", he should be able to Find a more efficient, convenient, and safe training and guidance method to evolve this ability.

As for the second point Alice mentioned, it is also the advantage of human "vampires" over other mutant creatures.

Other mutated creatures have evolved a certain ability, which is to simply use this ability, at most, to use objective things in nature to make some extensions and enhancements. But human beings can actively create and use tools, and can better play and enhance their own abilities, and even create abilities out of thin air.

What Alice meant was to let Xiang Kun make corresponding auxiliary equipment according to the specific mode of "Yudian Flight" to help him better achieve the purpose of flight and control.

But the results of Xiang Kun's previous thinking: relatively complex equipment, one is that he does not have the conditions to make it for the time being, and the other is that if it contains electronic components, it is easily affected by the "light group"; while simple equipment, such as parachutes or simplified versions hang glider and the like,

It doesn't make much sense. One is that it is not easy to carry, and the other is that there is no qualitative improvement.

After all, for Xiang Kun, flying itself was not the answer he wanted, otherwise, given the various conditions of the current human society, he had plenty of ways to go to heaven.

He wants to attack the ability of "Royal Electric Flight", what he wants is the ability to fly freely that is not restricted by equipment, and other application methods that can be derived after mastering this ability.

However, Alice was able to put forward these two opinions, which already made Xiang Kun very satisfied. At least her "direction of thinking" was still correct.

The phone vibrated, and Xiang Kun picked up the phone and looked at it. It was Chang Bin, who reminded him to go to the airport to pick up Zicheng tomorrow.

Yes, Zicheng is coming again.

Chang Bin and Wang Han's wedding has been fixed, and there is less than a month left.

Chang Bin has already identified three best men, namely Xiang Kun, Zicheng and one of his middle school classmates. This time Zicheng came here to order a suit for the wedding together and measure the size - this is Chang Bin Benefits offered to groomsmen.

Of course, it is also an excuse for everyone to get together again, so that Zicheng can have a reason to ask the company and his father for leave.

After a brief chat with Chang Bin, even through WeChat texts, Xiang Kun could clearly feel the anxiety revealed by this old brother.

He knows that there are many reasons for this anxiety, some of which he can guess, and some of which he does not know, but through his analysis of the cognitive models of Chang Bin and Wang Han, he knows that this is not a big problem Well, both of them know how to try their best to consider each other and be considerate of each other, and they are both people with high dual quotients. Some difficulties can definitely be handled well.

This is how a man and a woman are together. If both can give in and are willing to give, they can last for a long time.

Xiang Kun recalled the news he had received from Tang Baona's group of four before. Among the three bridesmaids Wang Han found, Tang Baoting and Tang Baona's sisters took up two places, and the remaining one was her and Tang Baoting's middle school classmate.

It's normal for Tang Baoting to be a bridesmaid. She and Wang Han were classmates, friends, and best friends. Although Tang Baona knew Wang Han when she was a child because of her sister's relationship and often played together, it stands to reason that she would not be the bridesmaid for marriage. Xiang Kun could easily guess that Wang Han asked Tang Baona to be a bridesmaid, a large reason should be that he was in Chang Bin's best man team - this was trying to match him up.

Xiang Kun looked at WeChat again, and checked the unread messages in the WeChat group that he hadn't read before.

In the "You Long Playing Rabbit Group" with You Meng, his wife, and Tang Baona, You Meng just sent two messages more than ten minutes ago:

"Xiang Kun, did you operate it? Our video is popular again!"

"When will the second film be launched? You said that the previous team should not hire them anymore, so how do we shoot the second film?"

Fire again?

Xiang Kun was a little puzzled, so he opened Station B and took a look. Sure enough, the playback, coin insertion, and barrage of the video released by their ID "Youlong Xitu" have all been greatly improved.

Could it be that another big uP master used their video as a material to make a relatively popular spoof video? Or did Tang Baona help them promote it in another way?

But after scanning the barrage, Xiang Kun realized that the source of attention was from other directions.

He searched on Weibo, and sure enough, he found a lot of discussions and several topics.

The most discussed one is "#bald head chef and chef You Long what's the relationship?#"

Someone compared the background of the kitchen in the two-minute-long video released by "Youlong Xitu" with the background of the previous video of Xiang Kun making rabbit meat, and determined that the two videos were shot in the same kitchen .

So netizens began to discuss, what is the relationship between the bald chef who commented on various cooking videos on the Internet and made bamboo rat meat with juggling movements, and the "chef You Long" who recently became popular because of a short video of cooking rabbit meat—— After the video was released, Xiang Kun and the others did not mark You Meng's name, nor did they give You Meng a "stage name", so everyone naturally used the ID "Youlong Xitu" who released the video as the name, and put The protagonist of the video is called "Chef You Long", which is also their intentional guidance.

Based on the content of the video of "The Bald Chef", some netizens speculated that what he said at the time was meant for "Chef You Long", so this video is likely to be made by the "bald chef" behind the scenes. of.

A local netizen in Tongshi Town recognized You Meng, and directly told You Meng's store name and location, and expressed that he was going to try the food and broadcast it live.

Originally, Xiang Kun asked You Meng and the others not to redecorate the kitchen, and they still filmed in the background of the previous Xiang Kun's "outflow" video, in order to create related hype.

It's just that his original plan was to release two or three videos. After the video of "Youlong Playing Rabbit" has a certain degree of popularity and attention, he will guide related topics so that people can link the two popular videos together. So it's not starting to create momentum online.

Unexpectedly, some netizens have already done what he wanted to do in advance. Presumably, it is because of Tang Baona's "assist" promotion that the video has exceeded expectations. The netizens who made the comparison saw and found the same background, so a new topic arose.

Netizens who want to go to "Youlong Restaurant" must return disappointed, because during this period of time, You Meng practiced the shooting scripts of the second and third videos in order to learn the few rabbit meat dishes Xiang Kun taught him. The shop is temporarily closed.

During this period of time, there are very few people who will find out the address and find "Youlong Restaurant" to try the food, so it's okay to be rejected.

Xiang Kun's plan is to wait until the second and third videos are released, and the topic will further stir up, and then reveal the location of their store with great fanfare, attracting enough attention and diners, and even let a few anchors come to have a few tastings live streaming.

As long as the first few batches of diners are satisfied, there are enough positive comments, and enough enthusiasm is created, then the next step will be easy.

Xiang Kun is still very confident in his few rabbit meat recipes, which have been adjusted according to the tastes of the locals in Tongshi Town. You Meng has also opened a restaurant for several years, so as long as the ingredients are good, you can cook them proficiently After the basic taste is guaranteed.

Of course, relying solely on those few dishes to make the first few days "explosive", unless all the diners are bought, it is still difficult. But Xiang Kun already has a way, and he is 80% sure that every diner who enters the store, and everyone who eats rabbit meat, will feel delicious from the bottom of his heart, and feel that it is a delicacy in the world.

Xiang Kun thought for a while, and issued a few more tasks to Alice, letting her try to get familiar with the operation process of the navy. She may not be needed this time, but after she becomes familiar with the relevant models and forms the relevant functions herself, with the preparation and resources, she may be able to use her for other things in the future.

For example, when some information that one does not want to see is circulated on the Internet, but cannot be completely deleted, guiding the discussion direction of public opinion may be the best way to reduce the impact of such information.

...

At the same time, Qinling no man's land.

A team of more than 20 people is camping in an open space that has been cleared. Most of these people are men, and a few women seem to be dark-skinned and without makeup. They are basically concentrating on their own affairs, or Be vigilant and watch the surroundings vigilantly, or check the equipment you carry, record some data, classify the samples collected on the way, or take the time to rest and eat.

A rough-looking, dark-skinned, middle-aged man with a mustache was on the edge of the camp, holding a device and talking to someone.

The screen of the device shows the scene on his side, and the drone above their heads is connecting to the communication satellite to transmit the situation on this side to the other side in real time.

"Mr. Liang, we have already arrived at the place where the wild boar carcasses were found. Starting tomorrow, we will search according to the scope and sequence you marked."

The middle-aged man said to the other side in a reporting tone.

The voice on the other side carried a trace of friction that sounded weird: "Leader Li, when searching, pay attention to the abnormal traces on the surrounding ground, trees, and rocks."

"Yes, Mr. Liang." The middle-aged man said, hesitated for a moment, and asked again: "Mr. Liang, do you have any more characteristic information about the creature we are tracking?"

"No." Mr. Liang on the other side said in that weird voice: "You just need to observe and collect. Even if you do see some weird creatures, you don't need to take any action. Ensure your own safety first."

"Then how do we know that what we see is a 'weird' creature?"

"When I see it, I will naturally remind you." After Mr. Liang said this, he didn't respond, and the short communication ended.

The middle-aged man known as "Leader Li" let out a sigh of relief, with a helpless expression on his face.

It's really hard to feel like you don't know what you're doing.

He knew that the department he belonged to, which was secretly established by the company with a huge investment of money, seemed to be researching some special creatures, but he didn't know exactly what kind of creatures and what kind of special method.

Their department has several related laboratories, a large number of exclusive researchers, and several groups of field teams to move around the world. He vaguely heard from colleagues in other groups that it seemed that a certain special creature had been "captured alive", but no one knew exactly what that special creature looked like.

Although they all signed a non-disclosure agreement and knew that they could not inquire about things outside the scope of their authority, otherwise they would lose huge bonuses and might face fines and lawsuits, but the more mysterious they were, the more curious they were, especially this one, which is a bit like a sci-fi movie The circumstances of the plot.

This time, their team set off with full configuration, and eight researchers from the laboratory came to assist them, and went deep into the no-man's land in the Qinling Mountains to investigate. Team Leader Li was both worried and excited.

He knew the news that the three anchors surnamed Xue died in this area earlier, and he also knew that before they were sent here, the wild boar carcasses photographed by the anchor Xue had been sent to their headquarters laboratory. Detailed test results were obtained.

Obviously, since they were sent here, it proved that the test results were problematic.

But he didn't know exactly what the problem was and what was wrong. On the way here, he wanted to strike up a conversation with the researchers in the group, wanting to find out. But the female doctor in charge of leading the research team is very strict, and all researchers dare not mention things that have nothing to do with the mission, not even their own full names.

However, Team Leader Li speculated that, based on the company's style, it is estimated that these researchers would not know all about the situation.

Team Leader Li, who was resting in his sleeping bag, couldn't help thinking of the video of the dead wild boar that anchor Xue had seen before, and imagined that the small wound on the wild boar was caused by some creature.

He is not worried about the safety of their team. Although their team is not equipped with any firearms, it is not without equipment to deal with all kinds of beasts, and the company has equipped them with various high-tech portable security equipment, including multiple drones. Night vision and infrared modes detect the surroundings, and they can also communicate with the headquarters in real time through the communication drones overhead, which gives them a strong sense of security.
