What It’s Like Being a Vampire

"Alas, I told my mother that I wanted to go to Pengcheng in junior high school, but was cruelly rejected." Xiaomei, who had a full stomach, slumped down on the sofa booth and said helplessly to her two friends: "Let's 'Egg Yolk' The Pie Protection Association' can only really gather in high school."

Dalu said with a smile: "You have to go across provinces to take the high school entrance exam. Isn't it more difficult? And the high school Xiao Lingdang is going to go to is definitely the most difficult one."

Xiaomei's expression turned bitter: "Then what should I do..."

Liu Shiling smiled and said: "It's okay. Even if we are not in the same city, we can still chat online, video chat, play games, and play together on weekends. I heard from my sister that ultra-high-speed maglev trains are being built everywhere now. It should be possible to connect from Xingcheng to Pengcheng very soon. When the time comes, you come to me, or I come to you, and it will be just a matter of seconds, just like taking a bus, very fast."

Xiaomei held her chin up and murmured: "But I want to play with Little Lingdang every day. Do I have to wait until I get into college?"

Da Lu smiled and said, "Then you have to start studying hard now, otherwise you will definitely not be able to get into the university that Little Ling Ding wants to go to."

"Humph, Dalu, don't look down on me. I will definitely shock you if I work hard! Even if I can't get into the same major, I can still get into the same school. Even if I can't get into the same school, I can still get into the same city! "Xiaomei said with a firm expression.

Da Lu smiled and said: "Are you determined to be Xiao Ling Duang's follower~? You are so clingy, be careful that Xiao Ling Duang bothers you in the future."

Liu Shiling smiled and put her arms around Xiaomei's shoulders: "No, I won't be bothered. Come and live with me during the summer vacation. I will supervise your studies and take the exams for a school in the future."

When Xiaomei, who was still looking happy at first, couldn't help but tremble when she heard this, she said with a grimace: "There's no need to start studying hard so early. We're still young, and we don't have to take the exam in junior high school. We'll wait until the third year of high school. It will take a long time." !”

Liu Shiling and Dalu both laughed. As good friends who have known each other for many years, they knew Xiaomei's character very well. Her three major characteristics were her playfulness, love of beauty, and fear of learning.

"Well, I think I won't have any future prospects. Xiao Lingdang, you have to study hard and become a big boss. When the time comes, hire me to be your secretary. I will help you drive, prepare documents, make coffee and so on." Mei said, holding Liu Shiling's arms with both hands and laughing.

Dalu smiled and stretched out his hand to pinch her cheek: "Who says he is worthless?"

Xiaomei opened her mouth and pretended to bite her hand, and then said: "Dalu, let's come together. Then you will be the bodyguard, Alu will be the driver, and I will be the secretary. Let's form a group to hug Little Lingdang's thigh! Hehe!" Dalu was better than them. Both of them and Zhang Xiaoman are two years older, and both have larger stature and frame.

She has darker skin and short hair. She looks like a sports girl who can play well.

Liu Shiling didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It sounds like I will definitely become a big boss. What if I am miserable and go begging for food?"

"Then let's beg for food together, the four heroines of the Beggar Clan!" Xiaomei said.

"Then what if I go to the construction site to move bricks?"

"Then we are the four golden flowers on the construction site!"

"Then I go back to Chongyun Village to raise pigs?"

"We are the four biggest pigherders in Chongyun Village!"

"Hahahaha, this is what you said, you go to Chongyun Village with me during the summer vacation, and I will take you to the breeding farm, hehe!"

"Let's go see a place where rabbits are raised..."

"Do you think the place where rabbits are raised doesn't stink?"

When Liu Shiling and Xiaomei were laughing and joking, Dalu suddenly said: "I have decided to go to the military academy in the future, and I want to join the army."

Although Da Lu is a little older than the other two friends, he has just entered junior high school. It will take five or six years after graduating from high school to be admitted to the military academy. Therefore, in response to her sudden serious statement, Liu Shiling and Xiao Mei was a little surprised.

"Why did you suddenly think of joining the army?" Liu Shiling asked strangely.

"I can't say the specific reason. Maybe it's because my uncle showed me the photos and meritorious service medals of my grandfather when he joined the army some time ago. It may also be related to the activities that people from the army came to our school to do last semester. Anyway, I feel that I must do it in the future. Joining the army, well, I have been thinking about it for a long time." Dalu said.

"It's too early for you to think about this now..." Xiaomei said, suddenly thinking that what she just said was also about graduation and work in the future, which was longer than what Dalu said, so she turned to smile and said: "But That's fine, you can train in the army for a few years and develop your skills, then it would be more suitable to come back as a bodyguard."

Dalu laughed: "Are you determined to lead everyone to hug Little Bell's thigh?"

"Yes! When we grow up, we will always play together, work together, play games together, eat together, and always be together, just like Sister Zhen'er, Sister Nana, Sister Lao Xia, and Sister Apple! Yes, And sister Xiaoran, we have to protect her as she grows up together!" Xiaomei said with a longing expression. The "Xiaoran" in her mouth was the super cute sister Xiang Xinran whom Liu Shiling played with.

The next afternoon, after Liu Shiling sent her two friends to the airport, she was about to turn around and go back to the car that brought them here, but her hand was suddenly held by someone.

The touch on her hand was very familiar, so Liu Shiling knew who was holding her before she even turned around.

"Alice?" Liu Shiling looked puzzled at the "little old Xia-looking Alice" who appeared next to her. When Alice first gained the ability to appear, the two of them were about the same age in appearance, but Now the chubby girl in kindergarten has turned into a fifth-grade elementary school student. She is just a little shorter in height. She really looks like an older sister holding her younger sister.

"What happened?" Liu Shiling asked a little nervously and a little excitedly.

She knew that Alice now thought that there was a "physical body" called "Xiang Xinran", and she would no longer want to be a physical entity and play with everyone like she did before, especially in an airport where there are many people and surveillance. When she appears in a certain place, all camera equipment that captures her must be blocked or the images must be modified immediately. Although this is very simple and easy for her, it is after all a "non-task interference". According to the current situation, The rules and regulations of the research base should be avoided as much as possible. And if you want to use the co-existence ability, you must have Lao Xia's permission. Alice suddenly appeared directly without being summoned, instead of contacting through a mobile phone or other electronic devices. It is likely that there is danger around her and she needs to enter a combat state!

Liu Shiling subconsciously raised her hand to grab her hood, and then found nothing. She realized that it was summer and her T-shirt had no hood.

"Hey, little sister Lingdang, don't get excited! It's not about fighting. Let's change cars, hehe." Alice said, pointing forward with her little hand, there was a large RV parked on the roadside, and motioned for Liu Shiling to go and get in that car.

Liu Shiling became even more curious. Although Alice told her not to get excited, looking at Alice's expression and the tone of her voice, it was obvious that she was more excited.

"Then let me tell the driver over there." Liu Shiling said, saying hello to the online ride-hailing driver, asking him to go first, and completing the order payment on her mobile phone.

As she walked towards the RV, Liu Shiling couldn't help but ask Alice: "Are you going to send me on a mission?" In the past two days, Sister Laoxian, Sister Beautiful, and Sister Little Apple were all sent to Europe. The mission was about to begin, and this was the first time for the three of them to go out on a mission at the same time. Especially for Sister Laoxian, this was the first opportunity for them to go on a mission. So she also took it for granted that when Alice came to see her now, there should be some task for her.

She had always thought of a task that would allow her to use her "magic" and demonstrate her abilities. For so many years, she has been studying hard and practicing various skills, not because she is much smarter than others, but because she is in the "super-sensory object system" and has an energy recovery ability that is far beyond that of ordinary people of the same age. Si customized an exclusive learning plan for her, helping her figure out exactly what she needed and what to do at every step, and everything she needed was well prepared.

More importantly, no matter what knowledge or skills she is learning, she always takes how to use them to help herself better master "magic" as the starting point and driving force, so she is very motivated and interested in learning. .

Now, of course, she already knows the existence of the "supersensory object system", and of course she knows the more original expression of "magic". But just like this, she also understands that the "bald uncle" asked her to learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, and learn all kinds of things well. Only by gaining knowledge can you better use "magic". This is not "liar" to children, but it is really useful.

She knew that she was already super powerful now, and she even knew that, in terms of pure power, she should be the strongest among the "super-sensory objects" except for small screws.

But it is a pity that everyone still treats her as the youngest sister and a baby who needs protection, and does not give her the opportunity to show the "sharpest spear".

Maybe now is the opportunity. Sister Beautiful, Sister Laoxian, and Sister Little Apple are all on missions. Sister Grilled Chicken Wings is in Chongyun Village. Her "sharpest spear" is finally going to be unveiled?

"Hehe, there is an important mission." Alice said, seeming a little worried, and reminded: "I showed up this time without Lao Xia's permission!"

Liu Shiling blinked and said in a daze: "Little screw, you can already independently master the ability of coexistence?" This seems to be... nothing surprising? After all, the consciousness of Little Screw itself can exist under the "super-sensory object system". The various "abilities" they have developed now can be optimized, functionalized and modularized by Little Screw, and they can also be processed through "super-sensory objects". Item Suspension" gains the abilities of others.

"Hehe, no." Alice said this, but her expression was still cheerful.

No?

Liu Shiling realized something, her eyebrows slowly raised, she pulled Alice to run, quickly ran to the back of the RV, and opened the door with great anticipation.

Liu Shiling almost blurted out the word "light", but she suddenly found that the car was empty and there was no one.

The originally excited expression on the girl's face suddenly collapsed, and her mood fell to the bottom like a roller coaster. After all, for her, the return of "Bald Uncle" was the happiest thing. This expectation was too high, and everything else would not matter. There is no substitute.

…

In a large conference room in Chongyun Village, Xia Libing had just finished talking about the current theoretical research directions based on the characteristics of "mutated organisms" through holographic images, as well as the progress of technological application research based on some theoretical discoveries.

Those sitting below in the conference room listening to Xia Libing's introduction are all top domestic experts in various related fields. Most of them have academician titles. However, they were all paying attention during the entire process of listening to Xia Libing's introduction. Some of them have their own research fields. The person who was related to the breakthrough discovery introduced by Xia Libing was even more excited and wanted to start researching it right away.

After introducing the basic information and situation, Xia Libing allowed everyone to ask questions freely. Facing these big names in various fields, he was very comfortable in dealing with them and basically answered them fluently.

This group of big bosses is already the thirteenth group to come to the base. Chongyun Village is now continuously expanding, and a large area around it is already the scientific research branch of various research institutes, but the direct management rights are all in Xia Li It is in the hands of Bing and the "Fei Research Center", and they will coordinate and distribute it.

Many research results derived from the characteristics of "mutated organisms" have been put into practical technical applications a few years ago, especially after the construction of controllable nuclear fusion power plants began in 2022. Although the research was still carried out in secret, it was not thorough. It is open to the public, but it is almost an open secret that breakthroughs have been made in the research of "mutated organisms" internationally. 23 years later, foreign experts have begun to appear in the base to participate in various studies.

At the end of 2023, an international conference was held in Citon City. More than thirty countries participating in the conference, under the leadership of China, signed a cooperation agreement on the research of "mutated organisms".

The "Erythrina Agreement" has also become the now recognized research standard and research specification for "mutated organisms". The core point is that no matter which country or organization wants to study "mutated organisms" and wants to obtain "mutated organisms" All research samples need to be applied to the "Abnormal Biological Research Center - Mutated Biological Management Bureau" located in "Chongyun Village".

In most cases, even if the application is approved, researchers from other countries come to Chongyun Village to conduct sample research on related "mutated organisms". It is almost impossible to obtain live samples of "mutated organisms" for distribution.

Of course, it is inevitable that some people will think that there are "mutated creatures" all over the world, why should they be allowed to have a monopoly? Can't they just catch and find them themselves?

But people who think this way will get nothing in the end and can only submit applications to "Chongyun Village" obediently.

"Chongyun Village", a small mountain village in the northwest of Hainan that is not familiar to the public, has become a holy place in the field of international "mutated organisms" research. He Haomin, the director of the "Africa Research Center" who presided over the signing of the "Erythrina Agreement", also He is jokingly called the "big lord" in the field of mutation research - because in fields related to mutation research, basically everything requires the authorization, permission and assistance of the "non-research center".

However, anyone who has actually been to "Chongyun Village" and has been exposed to core research will know that in the field of "mutant organism" research, the real boss and the person who speaks the truth is the person with beautiful features, tall figure, ponytail, and beautiful face. He always looks like "Dr. Xia" with a calm expression.

After finishing the meeting, answering the boss's questions, deciding on the research direction for the next stage, and allocating the right to use the base's "mutated organisms" for research, Xia Libing drove out of Chongyun Village alone.

While driving the car, Xia Libing's stomach suddenly growled. She said "ah" softly, and as if thinking of something, she glanced at the time display on the car: 12:45.

When I was communicating with those technical big guys just now, I was so focused that I didn’t pay attention to the time. I forgot to go to the cafeteria to finish lunch before coming out...

Go to Tongshi Town and have lunch at Youlong Hotel? It takes at least 35 minutes from arrival to ordering to serving.

So Xia Libing parked the car on the side of the road, opened his old-looking backpack, and rummaged through it. There were Snickers bars, vacuum-packed bread, potato chips, nuts, biscuits, and even a A can of cat food, a tube of cat nutritional paste, and a box of Little Apple Bird Food.
