What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Chapter 77 Suppressing Vomiting

Xiang Kun, who was standing at the door of his house, knew there was trouble when he heard the conversation between Shi Ling's mother and Tang Baona and others in the elevator.

Sure enough, after dozens of seconds, Tang Baona, who was still downstairs, called.

"I only started to try cooking during this period of time, and now I only know two kinds of dishes."

"The neighbors gave me homemade dim sum, and I just tried to make a dish, so I gave them back as a gift."

"That's because she said good things about me. It's an exaggeration. I'm a beginner. I can't really do better than the restaurants outside."

"Chef? Are you kidding me? Before this month, the number of times I cooked would not exceed double digits."

"Why rabbit meat? I just saw a video of making rabbit meat on the Internet a few days ago, and I became interested in it."

"Okay, if you really have the courage to try the dishes, next time I will prepare them in advance and invite you to be my guinea pigs, but if it tastes bad, don't blame me."

"Don't eat rabbit meat? Why? Rabbit meat is really good, and I will only cook rabbit meat for the time being... Well, then I will try beef next time."

"Tonight? Not tonight, I haven't prepared anything, and I have something to do later, let's make an appointment later, I have to prepare, first find a few beef recipes and try it first..."

Hanging up the phone, Xiang Kun returned to his home.

Indeed, from a rational point of view, he and Tang Baona, Yang Zhener, and Xia Libing can be regarded as friends who often play together now. Since he can cook and serve to his neighbors, there is no reason why he can't cook for his friends—more What's more, they all asked directly.

Of course, if he was really unwilling, Xiang Kun would still forcefully refuse.

But after waking up from drinking blood this time, he was actually thinking about it. If he goes back to his hometown after a while and stays with his parents, he must not eat normally all the time.

After being suddenly mutated before, he thought more about survival, and then trained and guided the mutation to improve various abilities. He didn't think too much about getting along with others, because he happened to be unemployed and was a Living alone, many problems can be avoided.

But looking at it now, no matter whether I become a "vampire" or something else, it seems that I can't die for the time being, so I should think about some future things.

There are three biggest problems in getting along with people now, one is the fixed blood drinking period, two requires nearly 25 hours of sleep after drinking blood, and the third is that normal eating and drinking other than water are unacceptable.

The first problem can be solved as long as you have your own private space. The blood drinking process takes a very short time. With the current frequency, it is about once every six days. Just be careful not to be seen when drinking blood.

The second question can be pushed to work or games. Even before the mutation, during the university holidays, he would occasionally sleep for fifteen or six hours in a row because of playing games and programming all night. As long as there is an explanation in advance, even if you sleep at your parents' house, you will not be disturbed.

The third problem is more difficult to avoid.

When interacting with people, whether it is relatives, friends or family members, it is always difficult to escape the problem of eating together.

You can find excuses to shirk once or twice, and there will be problems after a long time, unless you don't interact with anyone at all.

But no matter how lonely he is, he can't abandon his parents. It's impossible not to have normal contact with them, and it's impossible not to have dinner with them.

Of course, he also once thought that if he told his parents exactly what happened to him, they would definitely keep the secret for him, cover it up for him, and do everything for him , parents are people he can absolutely trust.

But he also knew that if they did, they would worry about him all the time.

Parents have worked and worried for themselves for thirty years,

He wants their old age to be easier, instead of having to worry about whether his son will turn into a "monster" or die suddenly.

As for how to suppress vomiting after eating, Xiang Kun already had a general training direction.

He had also thought about it before, whether it is possible to use targeted training to eat something and then hold it hard so that in the mutation after drinking blood, the stomach can evolve something that can be eaten for a longer period of time Time does not spit out the ability.

But after trying, he found that he couldn't do it...

The process of vomiting is the continuous contraction of the gastric antrum, the opening of the cardia, the contraction of the abdominal muscles, and the increase of abdominal pressure, forcing the stomach contents to reflux rapidly and violently, and then excreted through the esophagus and oral cavity.

Whether it is drinking too much, motion sickness, or certain diseases, most people will feel nausea before vomiting, and then feel the diaphragm and abdominal muscles contract violently, making them want to vomit. At this time, you can also find a way to endure, or other ways to relieve the nausea. But when the vomiting really comes, it cannot be stopped and suppressed forcibly.

As for Xiang Kun, he went from nausea to vomiting too quickly after eating the food, and he couldn't forcefully control the vomiting.

The result of forcibly "resisting" is, at most, to keep your mouth tightly shut, preventing the food from spitting out after it comes out...

But this kind of performance is too dynamic, and it is impossible for others not to notice it when eating at the same table.

However, after exploring the nest where the giant owl was, Xiang Kun found a method that seemed to be able to suppress the drowsiness after drinking blood - swallowing stones.

Use the writhing, gag feeling in your stomach after swallowing the stone to stay awake.

Compared with other foods, the feeling of stones in his stomach is somewhat different, because he can vaguely and intermittently feel the outline of stones.

Therefore, when the antrum of the stomach begins to contract, the feeling of the stone can be used to control some parts of the stomach and forcibly inhibit the contraction of the antrum of the stomach.

Although this process is painful, it can indeed suppress vomiting.

Xiang Kun felt that this should be caused by the structural changes in the stomach after the mutation. If it was before the mutation, if you swallowed stones, at most you would feel a stomachache due to digestive problems, unlike now you can clearly feel the state and outline of the stones in your stomach, and use this to suppress vomiting.

That giant owl can also do this, which proves that his current stomach, which mainly digests and absorbs fresh blood, is the reason why it can do this.

Xiang Kun first found out the smooth-looking pebbles that he bought before, cleaned them, swallowed them, and then directly picked up a 480ml bottle of Xiaoming. He raised his head and drank it all - these drinks were bought today. To entertain Tang Baona and the others.

Xiang Kun judged that the process of vomiting did not distinguish between what to vomit in the stomach and what not to vomit, so as long as the stone could be suppressed, the feeling of vomiting could be suppressed, and other things in the stomach would naturally be able to stay.

Twenty seconds later.

"puff--"

Xiang Kun squirted out the drink he just drank very violently, spraying it all over the kitchen.

Finally, he spit out the stone in his mouth into his hand.

Although the attempt failed, Xiang Kun was not discouraged, because after drinking the bottle of drink just now, it affected his feeling about the stone in his stomach.

So this experiment told him not to eat too much fluid food.

Then Xiang Kun opened the snacks he bought earlier and began to continue the experiment.
