“Yes, I’m awake! I’ve already seen your chat record with… ‘Grilled Chicken Wing Sister’. Congratulations, Xiao Lingdang, your understanding of ‘magic’ has advanced even further…”
Thinking of the nickname Little Fatty Girl gave to Old Xia, Xiang Kun couldn’t help but laugh. Having witnessed their “feast” in Dreamland, he understood very well why Little Fatty Girl gave Old Xia such a nickname, and judging from their chats, Old Xia completely accepted this nickname without any resistance.
As for how to communicate with Little Fatty Girl, Xiang Kun was of course much more adept than Old Xia.
First, he highly praised Little Fatty Girl’s study and development of “magic” abilities, affirmed her restraint in not misusing “magic” when she was angry, and gave limited guidance on her application of “magic”. Little Fatty Girl wasn’t very clear about why her control over the two “Coin Guardians” suddenly increased last night, and why she could accurately control the electrical appliances in Da Lu’s home. This could be inferred from Old Xia’s notes on Liu Shiling’s “magic system” enhancement last night. It was like mastering martial arts before forming a mental method. Therefore, it was imperative for Xiang Kun to help her sort out her thoughts in order to facilitate her further “development”.
Xiang Kun believed that in his “Super Sensory Item System”, the system and awareness each “developer” established for themselves that more closely mirrored the operation mode of the “Super Sensory Item System”, the greater the likelihood of successfully “developing” new abilities.
The reason Little Fatty Girl was so special, why her practical application ability in his “Super Sensory Item System” and her physical impact on the real world were so strong, should be related to her boundless imagination, and her unwavering confidence in the magic system she created.
Even though she was firmly convinced of the magic system she created, she was not stubborn. When she discovered that the actual “magic effect” contradicted her theory or system, she could easily accept changes and then continue to be unwaveringly confident…
This gave her unlimited potential and room for growth.
After helping Liu Shiling summarize her ability “development” this time, and further improve her “magic system” framework, Xiang Kun sent a voice message saying, “Next, hold the pair of chopsticks I gave you. Use your ability to control the brightness of the room lights, alternating between light and dark three times, pause for five seconds, then alternate light and dark three times again, until I send you a new QQ message, then stop. Remember, if you find the light still alternating between light and dark when you stop, it means I am in control, I am sending you a message with ‘magic’. Be careful not to be discovered by your mom!”
Liu Shiling replied, “Does five seconds mean I have to count one, two, three, four, five?”
Xiang Kun originally wanted her to use the tablet’s clock APP to time it, but thought it would be too troublesome to time five seconds every so often, not to mention that she was waiting for his QQ message. So, he said, “After you finish controlling the light, just repeat ‘Liu Shiling is the best’ five times in your mind, and that’s five seconds.”
He estimated based on the pace at which Little Fatty Girl first pronounced her name, that saying “my name is Liu Shiling” took about one second. But to cater to Little Fatty Girl’s secondary school magic system, Xiang Kun changed it to “Liu Shiling is the best”.
Liu Shiling, who was lying on the table chatting on her tablet, was already grinning broadly and squinting happily from receiving compliments from “Bald Uncle”. At hearing Xiang Kun saying “Liu Shiling is the best”, she giggled and squirmed a little.
After receiving a “task” from “Bald Uncle”, Little Fatty Girl was full of enthusiasm. She first checked if her mother was taking a nap, then went back to her room, closed the door, and according to “Bald Uncle”‘s arrangements, grabbed two chopsticks in one hand and then controlled the coins “Chocolate” and “Ice Cream” to levitate.
“Custard Pie”, who was originally lying nearby, perked up and prepared to pounce at the sight of the two coins floating again.
The next moment, the room’s light began to flicker, which startled “Custard Pie”, who then hid next to its young owner’s feet.
After controlling the light to change three times, Little Fatty Girl began to chant as Xiang Kun instructed: “Liu Shiling is the best…”
When she chanted for the first two times, she was a little shy, hesitating a bit, but after the second time, she became more fluent, chanting naturally as if it were a mantra. However, she couldn’t help but laugh each time she chanted, prolonging the actual pause time significantly over five seconds.
After controlling the light to change twice as described, when she was once again silently chanting “Liu Shiling is the best”, the room lights suddenly began to flicker – and this was not her doing.
Liu Shiling stopped reciting the “Five-Word Mantra”, opened her mouth wide and looked at the flickering, changing light tube. She realized that this was Uncle Bald remotely greeting her through his “magic” power. She was so excited that she jumped up, inadvertently startling the “Custard Pie” at her feet, causing it to jump up as well.
Xiang Kun, lying back in his computer chair, opens his eyes and leaves the “Super Sensory State”.
He had Liu Shiling control the light with her newly “developed” power, not simply to greet her from a distance, but to perceive the changes in her cognitive information when she uses that power under the “Super Sensory State”, so as to try to find the way this power works and better apply and derive other abilities from it.
In the “Super Sensory State”, all surrounding objects are presented in a special cognitive information mode. Xiang Kun can use two “Super Sensory Contact” coins to anchor the location and the triggering time of the abilities, to perceive Little Fatty Girl’s process of realizing this ability.
It’s like directly watching a machine language running after an application program is compiled, only that Xiang Kun’s grasp of this machine language is still very limited. He doesn’t fully understand all the details, so he has to try to understand it slowly by making different comparisons between the “Super Sensory State” and reality.
After perceiving Little Fatty Girl’s process of using her abilities in the “Super Sensory State”, Xiang Kun influences the light tube in his own way, borrowing two coins.
Although the result is the same, he knows there is some difference between his method and Little Fatty Girl’s – his method is much simpler, more direct, and efficient.
But if you want to use it in a non-“Super Sensory State”, you still have to use the way developed by Little Fatty Girl.
Xiang Kun has already vaguely grasped some points. He believes that with the passage of time, and with the help of Little Fatty Girl, Xiao Pingguo and Old Xia, by perceiving their demonstration of certain abilities under the “Super Sensory State”, he will soon master a better way to understand, apply and develop the “Super Sensory Item System”.
By then, those Black Circle Graffiti may be used as the practical foundation for this theory, a “programming language” based on the “Super Sensory System”.
After leaving the “Super Sensory State” and praising Little Fatty Girl through QQ, Xiang Kun continued to flip through Old Xia’s notebook. He found that Old Xia was trying to merge her own “system” with the “systems” established by Little Fatty Girl and Xiao Pingguo. She was trying to absorb the rules of their systems and use that method to connect with Xiang Kun’s “Super-Connected Objects” and “Emotion Infused Objects”.
Obviously, Old Xia is also interested in Xiao Pingguo’s ability to create illusions, Liu Shiling’s control of electromagnetism, and her ability to control “Super-Connected Objects”.
Xiang Kun turned on the monitor, communicated with Alice via the keyboard, and planned to input Old Xia’s model and equations into the computer for Alice to integrate with the “Vampire Mutation Model” she had created before. He wanted Alice to help summarize and integrate, to see if a better, Xia-friendly “ability system” could be found.
However, to Xiang Kun’s surprise, when he woke the computer, the screen popped up a line of text on the interface interacting with Alice:
“Unable to confirm identity, communication prohibited.”
WHAT?!
Xiang Kun was dumbfounded. What the hell was going on? He’s in his own bedroom, how could Alice possibly not confirm his identity? Moreover, if she really couldn’t confirm his identity, the screen should show the normal WIN10 login interface when turned on, how could it directly pop up a text interaction interface?
