What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Since entering the door, Xiang Kun has actually been building a cognitive model for the people in the room. This process is continuous, especially for Xie Peng and Linlin who didn’t know much about it or Qin Ping’s first time. When they meet, a word, an action, and an expression of them may change Xiang Kun's cognitive model.

Through the cognitive model, the integration and integration of all the information can enable Xiang Kun to make judgments more freely and quickly in a multi-person social scene.

Just like now, sitting on his left is Chang Bin, smiling with Wang Han and telling everyone about their wedding preparations.

However, according to Xiang Kun's cognitive model, he immediately made a judgment: Chang Bin is actually relatively tired now, and his interest is not high, even a little irritable. Judging from the physical feedback when discussing some things, the main reason should be related to the preparation of the wedding. There may be too many tedious details to discuss, plus the company's affairs, which made him a little tired;

In contrast, Wang Han, who is sitting on the other side of Chang Bin, has much better spirits. When talking about these things, the feedback of body information should be more positive. And her taste is very similar to that of Tang Baona, so she is full of praise for most of the dishes on this table, and she picks up dishes frequently;

Wang Han went over again, and Tang Baona's sister Bao Ting was sitting. She and Gao Yao have actually started talking about marriage and marriage, so they are very interested in the preparations for the wedding between Chang Bin and Wang Han, and it is mainly her asking questions. She is even more interested in this topic than Wang Han. Judging from the body feedback data during the chat, her focus is on the choice of wedding banquet venue, the style of layout and the style of wedding photos;

But next to Tang Baoting, her fiancé Gaoyao is relatively nonchalant. If he doesn't mention him or asks him directly if he has a question, he is basically eating or swiping his cell phone and not actively participating in the conversation. However, according to Xiang Kun’s cognitive model of him, it’s not that he has any opinions on weddings or Tang Baoting, but that he has always been like this, not accustomed to or knowing how to participate in topics that he is not good at. , For fear of saying the wrong thing or causing cold, this is actually a bit similar to the previous Xiang Kun;

Next to Gao Yao are Xie Peng and his wife Linlin. As the only couple present with "marriage experience", they also answer the questions of two pairs of "quasi-new couples" from time to time and give some of their suggestions. They had a divorce before and even changed the divorce certificate. Although they reunited after a short while, Xiang Kun compared the two people's cognitive model with when he first met them in the KTV box. It can still be judged that the turmoil still has a big impact on the relationship between them.

In contrast, Linlin’s mood is higher, and although Xie Peng is very talkative before eating, when he mentions wedding-related matters at the table, the feedback on various physical data still shows that he is a bit repulsive. . The feeling between the two of them is far less than that of more than two months ago;

Next to Linlin is Yang Zhen'er's classmate Qin Ping. She is an ordinary-looking girl with a petite figure, but very cheerful and seems to be interested in everything. Although it was the first time to meet most of the people at the table, no matter what the topic, she was able to get involved and talked down. Judging from the cognitive model that Xiang Kun established, she did not deliberately cater, but was indeed interested. At first, her attention was on Gao Yao. After all, Gao Yao was a handsome guy. Later, her attention was mainly on Wang Han and Xie Peng, because they both talked in a humorous way, even if they were talking about it. The same thing, both of them can speak more attractive and more fun;

Next to Qin Ping is Yang Zhen'er. In addition to struggling with the taste of each dish at the beginning, after everyone started eating, she focused on the dishes, especially the two Xiangkun specially adjusted and made for her taste. Most of the dishes entered her stomach. Of course, with her leaping personality, she still has a few sentences on any topic, but at this time, she was eating a piece of crispy pork knuckle while holding a mobile phone to take a video, obviously she was going to tease Lao Xia again. ；

Tang Baona sat on Yang Zhen'er's left hand and Xiang Kun's right hand. Needless to say, she is the most perfect cognitive model built by Xiang Kun among all people.

And now she is holding the pair of chopsticks that Xiang Kun has established for "emotional injection". Xiang Kun can perceive her emotions through the chopsticks in real time, making the already perfect cognitive model more comprehensive and efficient.

Xiang Kun doesn’t need to look at her, he doesn’t need to pay special attention, he can know what she is doing, what she is going to do next, what she wants to do...

Xiang Kun even felt that if Tang Baona didn’t do anything, he would help her pick the dishes, without her having to speak, she could perfectly execute her will, knowing which dish she likes best, when she wants to eat which dish, and when she wants to. Stop for a drink, when to drink red wine, and when to drink water.

Of course, this kind of very comprehensive and efficient cognitive model does not guarantee that the efficiency will always be the same. If the environmental variables change greatly, the accuracy of prediction and judgment will decrease accordingly.

"Abin, last year or the year before, didn't you say that a card game is fun in the group? That game seems to be the product of Xie brother and his company." Xiang Kun looked at a gap, seemingly casual Bin raised a mouth.

"Which game...oh, the one recommended by Zicheng? That's really good. It was made by Mr. Xie's company?" Chang Bin asked in amazement. Before Tang Baona introduced that Xie Peng was a certain game. The art director of the company, but has no idea about the company's name.

Xie Peng froze for a moment, and then smiled: "Brother Xiang, the game you mentioned was not made by our company. But our company also has similar games, and the graphics are actually better."

Xiang Kun smiled and said that he probably remembered it wrong, and then he mentioned some game-related matters along the way, so that Xie Peng and Chang Bin also began to discuss game-related topics.

Although Chang Bin himself did not like to play games as much as Xiang Kun and Zicheng when he was in college, he obviously hoped to change the topic of the chat, and didn't want to continue discussing the details of the wedding, so the chat with Xie Peng was quite speculative. .

When Xie Peng talked about a new game that his company had just launched and was in closed beta, Xiang Kun also found through the feedback of the cognitive model that he had been looking down at Gaoyao on the phone. Although his sight was still on the phone, his attention Already on the game Xie Peng talked about.

Even the ladies who have just enthusiastically discussed weddings and wedding photos are attracted by this topic. Nowadays, girls play games not much less than boys. There are not many female players for what glory, what eat chicken, and what LOL.

Naturally, Xiang Kun just didn't remember the production company of the card game wrong, but deliberately said that, actively trying to lead the topic.

Judging from the current results, it is still good.

If everyone's emotional comfort level has a value, then Xiang Kun believes that the current topic change can at least greatly increase the total emotional comfort value at the table.

"This game takes place in the context of an overhead wasteland. Oh, it refers to the ruins of apocalypse. Everyone can create their own skills according to their different attributes and collect props and resources. Our game The framework is very free and does not necessarily require combat, and the profession is not very solid. You can choose freely. The key is the synthesis and combination of skills." Xie Peng introduced their closed beta game.

"Then what if I don't want to fight, but others want to fight me?" Tang Baoting asked.

Yang Zhen'er said immediately: "Then we will form a team to beat him!"

Tang Baona laughed and said, "My sister doesn't like fighting in any games, so she loves all kinds of farming, keeping pets, and collecting."

Xie Peng smiled and said: "We have a safe zone. In the safe zone, others can't move you. The system guards are the strongest."

Then a table of people began to lively discuss how to match their attributes and how to develop their own skills. The most heated discussion was actually Gaoyao—yes, he no longer lowered his head to play with his mobile phone. , But discussing with bright eyes, even a little dancing.

Tang Baona asked Xiang Kun next to him in a low voice: "If it were you, what skill would you like to combine?"

Without any hesitation, Xiang Kun said directly: "Open the whole map and see the location of all players around, the ability of all player attributes and skills."

Tang Baona was stunned for a while, Yang Zhen'er next to her was stunned for a moment, and everyone at the table who heard this answer looked back at him strangely.

Generally, pacifists like Tang Baoting who play this kind of game only love to farm and keep pets in their stuffy nests, and they will mainly develop skills to strengthen themselves or strengthen farming and pets. How can there be such a purely investigative direction? of?

However, after Gao Yao froze for a moment, his eyes glowed and said: "Wonderful! This skill is amazing!" Then he looked at Xie Peng: "Old Xie, can you have such a skill?"

Xie Peng smiled and said: "This is not a skill anymore, this is a hang..."

Then everyone talked about the topic, from the game to "If you get an ability in reality, what kind of ability do you most hope to get."

The answers are varied, and some are very strange. Like Wang Han, the ability she wants is to make her cat "Alsace" speak human words.

The power that Yang Zhener wanted was what she said and the request that others could never refuse and refute. After everyone agreed that this power was too strong and too BUG, ​​she had to change it to someone else who could not be her. Refute and refuse, but what you do cannot influence.

As for Tang Baona, after she said the abilities she hoped to possess, she had already established a more comprehensive cognitive model and believed that she knew her Xiang Kun well, but she could not guess the right one in advance. The power she hoped to possess was to get double the time. Because of this, she can handle work more calmly, and have more time to learn some knowledge, read dramas, read comics, and make videos.

"Then you can just say that you don't need to sleep, eat or drink Lazar." Yang Zhener said, "You sleep for about ten hours a day, plus the time for eating and going to the bathroom, it's almost half?"

"That won't work, you still have to sleep, and you need to eat or something, otherwise it's not human?" Tang Baona said.

Xiang Kun next to him casually stroked his nose.

Naturally no one noticed his reaction.

Gao Yao went on to say: "Then what mechanism do you use to realize your ability? Is it to make your own actions faster and others to slow down to get double the time, or to reconnect you after 24 hours? A 24 hours where everyone else is still?"

Tang Baona stayed for a while, and then said: "This... is it weird? No matter if you get faster or others don't move, uh... Forget it, I don't need this ability, give me a new eternal youth ability. Haha!"

"Hey? Stay young forever? I want this too!" Yang Zhener said immediately.

"No, you already have a power!" Tang Baona pointed out immediately.

Yang Zhen'er stared at her: "Look, you are rebutting me! So it proves that I don't have the ability, so I can choose another one..."

Tang Baoting couldn't laugh or cry: "Why are you two instantly naive, so many people are watching..."

Feeling the warm chat atmosphere on the dining table, Xiang Kun was quite satisfied with his little fine-tuning, and then he helped adjust the topic in a timely manner according to the real-time status of each person. For example, Qin Ping, a classmate who knew Yang Zhener, was very happy with music and I am interested in animation, so I mentioned a few details of "One Punch Man" with Tang Baona, and then extended it to the production of domestic and foreign animation music, bringing Xie Peng, Linlin and others into the topic.

After a while, through discussions around the game, talking about woodcarving and handwork, it led to Gao Yao and Xie Peng. And Chang Bin also mentioned some interesting things that happened when he did a few games and animation-themed activities in the past.

Every time he guides a topic, Xiang Kun only participates in a few sentences, motivating other people’s words and talking about sex. When more people join the topic, he cleverly “gets out” without interjecting, being an observer, and maintaining his ability. Most mobilize everyone's emotions.

Xiang Kun pondered that if he gave everyone a pair of chopsticks with "emotional injection" on this table, it would be more convenient for him to build a cognitive model of everyone on the table, and it would be more accurate to perceive and grasp in real time. Each person’s emotions can help him influence the chat situation more efficiently.

This meal has been particularly long~www.novelmtl.com~ not only because Xiang Kun’s dishes are delicious, but also because everyone has a good time and talks about sex. Coupled with the fact that several ladies drank alcohol, it was when the atmosphere was enthusiastic that they naturally wouldn't leave immediately. Instead, they quickly cleared the table together and sat down on the sofa to discuss whether to play a game.

Ten people can play a lot of games, but not many. However, after some discussion, under the strong suggestions of Xie Peng and Linlin, others started to sing a song with Xiang Kun.

Chang Bin listened to Xiang Kun sing a song in the bar last time, knowing that he really feels singing now, and he told Wang Han when he went home before, so he also wanted Xiang Kun to come live and prove to Wang Han He didn't brag. Xiang Kun did sing and the whole bar applauded.
