What It's Like Being a Vampire-Chapter 471 - : Alice Falls from the Sky

Chapter 471: Chapter 471: Alice Falls from the Sky

When John went to Yangcheng to investigate Guo Tianxiang’s whereabouts and ended up in the hands of “Mr. Liang”, the one who truly knew where Guo Tianxiang had gone, Xiang Kun, was at home experiencing another Blood-drinking Period.

On March 11, he woke up from his blood-drinking slumber in Citong City, returned home with Old Xia, successfully conducted several experiments, and began to gradually integrate Alice into the “Super sensory Item System”. For nearly a week, Xiang Kun and Old Xia were wondering how to better “train” Alice, so that she could adapt to the “Super sensory Item System” and “Super Sensory Information”.

At present, in the various experiments they conducted, the best way to give Alice a “Positive Influence” and “Super sensory training” was still Old Xia’s “Dream in A Dream”.

However, Old Xia’s various communication strategies and training methods for Alice in the “Dream in A Dream”, although effective, making Alice’s performance in the “Dream in A Dream” increasingly “vivid” and more deeply integrated with the “Super sensory Item System”. Her ability to decode and compile “Super Sensory Information” was growing stronger and steadily advancing, but the problem was that it was too steady.

If they continued at this pace, they would have to train in the “Dream in A Dream” every day for a long period of time, possibly a full year, to fully integrate Alice into the “Super sensory Item System”. Not to mention the delay in time, but the normalization of this “Dream in A Dream” would exhaust Old Xia.

Moreover, Xiang Kun vaguely felt that this pattern might reach a bottleneck in the end, significantly reducing its efficiency, and it might not even maintain its current speed.

Old Xia was also aware of this situation, but she had no solution since, according to her analysis and practical attempts, using the current plan to guide, train, and “filter” Alice in the “Dream in A Dream” was already the best solution.

So after this Blood-drinking Period, Xiang Kun decided to introduce Alice to a “new friend” —— Little Fatty Girl.

Of course, it was still through Old Xia’s “Dream in A Dream”.

Xiang Kun also contacted Little Fatty Girl via QQ after nightfall and gave her a “preview”, but he knew it didn’t matter much, because although Little Fatty Girl could remember what she dreamt after waking up and was aware that it was a special dream, she was unable to wake up like Old Xia in the dream. She was still the confused “subconscious version of Little Fatty Girl”, all reactions were instinctive.

The reason why Old Xia’s “Dream in A Dream” could influence Alice was rooted in the fact that the underlying implementation of the “Dream in A Dream” was Xiang Kun, and Alice, who entered through the “Super Sensory Information”, could verify this, which accorded with her core operational rules.

Little Fatty Girl’s dreams were the same. She was the only one besides Old Xia who could establish dreams voluntarily through “Super-connected Objects”. From a certain perspective, she was even stronger than Old Xia in combining “Super-connected Objects” and dreams, because Old Xia needed Xiang Kun to first sense dreams to “start”, but Little Fatty Girl had experienced dreaming directly through “Super-connected Objects”.

Of course, unlike Old Xia, even if Little Fatty Girl managed to do it, she was not aware of it. If she was asked to do it again voluntarily, she wouldn’t know how to proceed.

To connect to Little Fatty Girl’s dreams through Old Xia’s dreams, the operation was slightly different from others, as it was done through Xiang Kun’s sensing of “Emotion Infused Objects” for integration. This also allowed Old Xia in the dream to sense the “Black circle graffiti” to connect Alice.

After this Blood-drinking Period, Xiang Kun gave Alice her dedicated “Super-connected Object” —— a transformed 2.4GHz USB receiver for a wireless mouse. The pins inside were established with “Super sensory contact” before the blood-drinking.

Therefore, Alice’s link to the “Super sensory Item System” has been significantly strengthened, and she also had the “hardware basis” for actively “connecting”.

Despite these USB plug pins being a few small metal plates, Xiang Kun had to go to great lengths to use them to establish super-sensory contact, using many tricks and spending a lot of time doing so.

Of course, setting up similar “Super-connected Objects” in the future will be much easier. Xiang Kun even had the idea of trying out other hot-swappable high-speed interfaces, such as SATA.

Once Alice was able to find a “backup” of herself and separate from this mainframe, Xiang Kun wanted to try to see if he could establish a “Super sensory contact” with the pins of the CPU, connect it back after establishing it, and see if it could improve Alice’s ability to connect to the “Super sensory Item System” and decode “Super Sensory Information”.

…

If Liu Shiling usually dreams on her own, most of the time, she would be wearing a robe, standing on a mountain peak, with “Chocolate” and “Ice Cream” as her generals, protecting various “subjects” such as rabbits, piglets, chicks, calves, ducklings, et cetera, against all kinds of monsters and demons.

Of course, sometimes she would also be in a giant cartoon-style palace, eating a variety of delicious foods.

After Xiang Kun proactively incorporated Custard Pie into the “Super Sensory Item System,” Liu Shiling could now also notice a certain drowsy big-headed cat in her dreams — before this, the big-headed cat was always ignored by its little owner when it appeared in dreams, being taken merely as a “background.”

However, Liu Shiling’s dreamscape was somewhat different today.

She was still in a “gorgeous” robe with a pure black base, gold trim, cat ears on the head, and a Garfield buckle on the waist. In her hand, she held a magic wand resembling an oversized chopstick and stood solemnly atop a giant formed by various stones, staring into the distance.

The giant was at least seventy to eighty meters tall, with eight arms and two vertical rows of eight eyes on its face. Strangely, instead of normal pupils, each eye resembled a giant coin. Either a “1 yuan” or a “chrysanthemum” pattern could be seen in each eye, with unique coin markings, such as “2006”, “2008”, “YI YUAN”, and so on adorning its body and back.

Clearly, this giant was composed of Little Fatty Girl’s two loyal warriors, “Chocolate” and “Ice Cream.”

The sky was overcast with storm clouds, thunder and lightning abounded, and mountains surrounded them. In the extreme distance, a city poking through the clouds was barely visible, mostly covered by a curtain of rain, with only a small cluster of buildings in view. If the lens were to zoom in, the words “Star City Kindergarten” would become visible.

In another direction, a monster composed of black fog and huge enough to touch the sky was slowly forming, swaying from side to side. Miniature tornadoes formed around it, appearing with its movements. The direction in which it was growling and showing its claws was the location of the city and the kindergarten.

Liu Shiling solemnly watched the black fog monster, prepared for battle, with the two cat ears atop her robe hood flickering as though truly listening for sounds.

A chubby, big-headed orange cat with four sets of wings of various sizes flew in from afar, landing on the giant’s head, standing beside Liu Shiling’s feet, stood up straight, and began incessantly meowing.

Liu Shiling’s eyebrows knitted slightly as she listened and nodded, saying after the cat finished, “I see, the Great Demon King ‘Meng Lalala’s’ target is to invade Star City Kindergarten! Good job, Custard Pie!”

After speaking, she pulled out a grilled saury from her embrace and tossed it to Custard Pie, who opened its mouth wide and swallowed it in one bite, then satisfied, it flew above the little owner’s head.

Liu Shiling, on the other hand, tapped the stone beneath her feet with her magic wand and said in a babyish yet vaguely authoritative voice, “We must stop them! Go, Barbie warriors! For Star City Kindergarten!!”

Above her, the storm clouds roared with impending lightning, crackling as though answering the “Great Wizard’s” summon. The massive eight-armed, eight-eyed stone giant below her began to move towards the black fog monster.

The ground shook, and with a thunderous rumble, the mountains ahead crumbled one by one, the dust and stones flying as though making way for their king.

The decay between heaven and earth grew more severe; in some areas, sunlight cut through the clouds like a sword, lighting up the earth; in others, dark clouds filled the entire space, engulfing everything in a thick fog.

Liu Shiling’s attention was entirely on the black fog monster, and she hadn’t noticed that her dreamscape had begun to turn somewhat bizarre.

Under Xiang Kun’s influence, Old Xia’s “dream within a dream” had begun to merge with Little Fatty Girl’s dream. However, Little Fatty Girl’s dream was quite dominant, and Old Xia was merely sending Alice through his dream as a channel, so compared to their previous dream merges, the commotion and changes were much more minor.

Sensing this dreamscape, Xiang Kun was quite surprised. Compared to Little Fatty Girl’s previous dreams filled with cartoon elements and anime characteristics, this dream was much more realistic and three-dimensional. The special effects had a blockbuster movie feel to them. This proved that the girl had observed similar scenes or images quite a bit in her waking life.

Just as Liu Shiling and the eight-armed, eight-eyed stone giant drew closer to the black fog monster, when thunder dragons gathered above her head and the hurricane roared, ready to begin the “decisive battle”.

A column of light descended from the sky, landing directly in front of the black fog monster.

A little girl in a princess dress tumbles down from the sky and lands on the ground with a thud.

A shockwave spread out from the little girl, flattening mountains, rivers, forests, the black fog monster — everything except for Little Fatty Girl and the eight-armed stone giant beneath her.

In an instant, the flat ground was covered with densely packed, neatly arranged bricks, with light shining from above, illuminating the entire area, but this light was not sunlight, but clearly from an artificial source.

Observing this dream, Xiang Kun and Old Xia both recognized at a glance that the bricks on the ground were the floor of the room when Old Xia first brought Alice into the dream.

After they brought Alice into Little Fatty Girl’s dream, they tried not to influence the dream as much as possible. All the expressions of the dream were Alice’s own interpretations based on her “Dream within a Dream” training and learning during this period. This was the most authentic expression of her in the dream.

Liu Shiling peeked out from the top of the Giant’s head, looking carefully at the pretty little girl on the ground, a puzzled expression on her face.

In reality, with her eyesight, she would not have been able to see the person on the ground clearly from this distance. But in the dream, Liu Shiling was able to perfectly see the beautiful little girl in a white dress, who was getting up from the ground, holding a knife, and looking up at her with a delicate and confused face.

Liu Shiling let out a surprised sound, tapped on the giant’s forehead, and the eight-armed, eight-eyed Giant opened his mouth wide, with the tongue transforming into a super long slide plunging straight into the ground.

Liu Shiling adjusted her hood, then holding her wand, leaped from the top of the giant’s head, bounced a few times on the slide, and slid smoothly to the bottom.

Having slipped onto the ground, Liu Shiling stood, dusted off her robe, adjusted her hood, hoisted her belt, picked up the wand that had flown out, then walked to the little girl who had similarly fallen from the sky but remained pristine and pretty. She reached out a hand and said,

“Hello! I’m ‘Super Powerful, Super Cute Great Wizard Liu Shiling’ from The Sunshine World! Are you the ‘Great Bright Archer, Great Wizard’ sent by Uncle Bald to help me? What’s the name of the spell you used to defeat ‘Meng Lalala’? It was amazing!”

The little girl stared at Liu Shiling’s outstretched hand, thought for a moment, put her scalpel on it, and then said, “I’m Alice.”

Liu Shiling looked at the scalpel Alice had put into her hand and realized, “I understand now, you are the ‘Bright Knife Guest, Alice’, and that spell just now was the ‘Great Bright Slash’!”

“Huh?” Alice looked confused.

Liu Shiling rose her hand, and a roasted saury appeared, the floating custard pie in the air immediately dived down to bite, but she pushed it away: “It’s not for you!”

Liu Shiling divided the cooked saury into two with Alice’s scalpel, then split it with Alice: “It’s very tasty!”

Alice hesitatingly reached out to take one half, seeing Liu Shiling take a bite, she bit into hers as well.

“Tasty, right?” Liu Shiling asked.

“Tasty…” Alice mumbled as she chewed: “Hmm?”

Liu Shiling turned back to the Eight-armed, Eight-eyed Stone Giant and shouted loudly: “‘Chocolate’! ‘Ice Cream’!”

The stone giant began to crumble at her words, and after a rumbling collapse, two short and fat silver armor warriors fell and then carried two big boxes over.

Liu Shiling took out chocolate and ice cream from the box and passed them to Alice: “These are delicious too!”

As she sat on the boxes eating ice cream and chocolate with Alice, she said: “It’s a pity that Sister Grilled Wings isn’t here, otherwise, she could treat us to really tasty grilled chicken wings and crispy pork feet, also dry-cooked rabbit meat, spicy rabbit meat, rib soup, Napoleon cake… Yum… By the way, do you know Sister Grilled Wings? She is very pretty, very tall, and has a beautiful ponytail. She is very smart and talented. Oh yes, her name is Sister Xia Libing!”

Alice, who was biting into a chocolate, tilted her head at these words and murmured, “Xia Libing… Old Xia.”

“Exactly! Uncle Bald… Baldy Big Archer… Big Bright Archer Uncle all call her Elder Sister Xia! You are indeed from our nation! Haha!” Liu Shiling slapped Alice’s back and said.

Alice turned around, slapped her back in return, and responded. “From the same nation.”

“I’ll take you to our kindergarten to play, our kindergarten has a lot of fun things! I will give you paper airplanes and paper tigers! I’ll show you the rabbits I’ve raised, they are really big and fat!” Liu Shiling said cheerfully. She got up, talking to the custard pie that was licking its paw: “Custard Pie, quick, take us back to the kindergarten!”

Although Custard Pie seemed somewhat reluctant, it still flapped its wings and took off. Then Liu Shiling put her magic wand and scalpel on both sides of her waist belt, raised both her hands to hold onto Custard Pie’s front paws, and said to Alice: “Hurry, you too!”

So Alice also lifted her hands high, grabbed Custard Pie’s back paws.

Next, Custard Pie flapped its wings hard, took off, and flew towards the city in the distance.

Dangling below Custard Pie, Liu Shiling asked, “Alice, how old are you?”

Alice: “How old?”

“You don’t know how old you are?”

“Don’t… know.”

“Hmm… Alice sounds younger than Liu Shiling, so you are the little sister. From now on, you have to call me sister, hehe.”

“Sister…hehe.”

“Haha, right, haha!”

“Haha…haha?”

Liu Shiling, having successfully made herself the older sister, continued, “Alice, I’ll give you a nickname, how about I call you Little Ai sister? No, that doesn’t sound right, there’s a speaker called Little Ai student… how about little Li? No, our kindergarten teacher was called Teacher Li… so, I’ll call you little Luosi! Big Bright Archer and Roasted Chicken Wings… along with Xia Libing the Great Magician, all call me ‘Little Lingdang’, so I will call you ‘Little Luosi’. Little Sister Luosi!”

“Little Luosi… sister?”

“You must call me Sister Lingdang!”

“Sister Lingdang… sister?”

Xiang Kun, who was perceiving the dream, could clearly feel that Alice was “growing” at a rapid pace in Little Fatty Girl’s dream, becoming more “lively”. It was evident that her ability to analyze “super sensory information” had greatly improved. This experiment had produced results far beyond his expectations.

On the other hand, he also realized that although Little Fatty Girl was very cheerful in front of him, Old Xia, Nana and others, she was actually a bit lonely in real life most of the time. freewebnøvel.coɱ

From what Shiling’s mom had described when they went to Star City previously, Little Fatty Girl didn’t seem to like making friends or playing with kids her age anymore. She wasn’t like the outgoing, lively little girl he first met. Now she was somewhat deliberately semi-blocking her heart, even though she might not be aware of it.

Because of this, in the dreamland, after meeting Alice, the “Subconscious version of Little Fatty Girl” was so enthusiastic – this was the real her.
