Chapter 340: Chapter 340: Good Impression
Translator: 549690339
On the night of the twenty ninth, when I went to the police station to pick them up, my aunt had already obtained some basic information about Xiang Kun through some connections. On the way back, she also had a basic impression of him through direct conversation.
Generally speaking, my aunt’s first impression of Xiang Kun was not bad. She thought this young man was quick-thinking and polite, not a frivolous guy. Plus, the police records showed that he had good athletic ability and physical fitness, and he was brave and spirited.
The only regret was that he looked a bit strange being bald, it would be better if he could grow hair.
Of course, it wasn’t a big issue.
The crux of the matter still lay in Xia Libing’s attitude.
Two night prior, upon discovering that Xia Libing and Xiang Kun were cooking together at home, my aunt again phoned Yang Zhen Er for information about Xiang Kun. However, she was told that Xiang Kun was reliable and amazing, nonetheless, he was just as much a bookworm as Xia Libing. They must be studying some academic issues when they were together and their relationship couldn’t be judged in the same way as a normal male-female relationship.
Of course, my aunt wouldn’t fully believes whatever Yang Zhen Er said, but from her observations, the relationship between Xia Libing and Xiang Kun was indeed quite different from any romantic interactions she had observed in the past, despite my niece’s obvious different attitude towards Xiang Kun.
To put it bluntly, there wasn’t the typical exchanging of suggestive looks or coy expressions, or any showing of shyness or affection. It truly seemed more like they were long-time work partners.
Of course, this could also be due to the personalities of Xia Libing and Xiang Kun. To be honest, my aunt found it hard to imagine what it would look like if Xia Libing was being flirtatious or acting shy.
Anyway, based on her investigation, she could basically confirm that this bald young man was honest and of good origin, anything else was up to the two of them.
Arriving at the airport, after Xia Libing had checked in and had her luggage checked, Xiang Kun noticed the coins that Old Xia was carrying.
“Why are you carrying so many coins?” Xiang Kun asked in surprise.
Through the sounds and the sense between the coins he himself had given to Old Xia, he could clearly perceive that the coins Old Xia was carrying now far exceeded those nine, totaling more than twenty coins, most of which had not formed a “super-sensory contact” with Xiang Kun.
Xia Libing replied: “When you have free time on the plane, you can associate with them”
Xiang Kun understood what she meant, Old Xia was aware that in order for him to establish a “super-connected object”, he had to have drunk blood and had a deep sleep at least once. So she wanted to take advantage of this bit of time before his next blood-drinking, to associate with as many “super-connected objects” as possible —— undoubtedly, these coins would be taken back by her after they were associated.
Xiang Kun didn’t ask why she needed so many “super-connected objects”. He just wondered: “Wouldn’t it be more convenient to carry associated steel balls? Or do you want me to associate some paper for you?”
“It’s not the same.” Xia Libing responded.
Because they had to go through security check, their conversation came to a temporary halt.
During the security check, Xia Libing took out the two dozen or so coins from her pockets and put them in the basket, which naturally drew side glances from the security staff and other passengers.
But no one said anything. Carrying a few extra coins wasn’t a big deal, and it didn’t bother anyone.
In the waiting hall, Xiang Kun and Xia Libing did not sit down to wait for boarding. Instead, they found a place to stand where they were some distance away from everyone else.
Xia Libing took out her little black book, turned to a certain page and handed it to Xiang Kun. While he was reading, she quietly explained what was written on it.
When Kun previously explained his “Conscious Entanglement Particle” system and hypothesis created against the “Illusion Reality” ability, it wasn’t the quantum physics part that troubled Xia Libing. Although she was a medical student, the content mentioned by Kun would not be too difficult to understand, and she had learned from books and papers. She had also studied various fields from Physics to Mysticism to solve her own problems, just finding medicine to be the more reliable field.
What really troubled her was Kun’s description of “high-dimensional construction”, which was something difficult for her to comprehend with her existing knowledge and understanding.
Because Kun had experienced Xiao Pingguo’s Dreamland, and had developed a unique way of perceiving things after discarding his visual sense, and later gained a completely different and superior form of perception after mastering the “Sixth Sense” and fully immersed himself in the “Super Sensory State”. Thus his imagination of higher dimensional spaces is completely different from ordinary people.
Xia Libing didn’t have any of those special senses, and she hadn’t entered the super sensory state either. With only Xiang Kun’s simple verbal explanations, it was hard for her to understand the details of his “Conscious Entanglement Particle” system. Therefore, according to her own understanding and thoughts, she rewrote and explained this system.
Xiang Kun looked at the hypothetical diagrams that Old Xia had drawn. She had used a portion of applicable mathematical tools, and had also defined various variables, units, and constants, such as the formation time of “Illusion Reality”, the type of co-manifestation object, the impact on the surrounding environment, the number of super-connected objects that she, as a “developer”, established contact with, the influence of each “super-connected object” in the process of Illusion Reality, and so on.
From this, she even constructed a formula that roughly describes the relationship between the quantity and type of “super-connected objects” associated with the “developer”, and the type of “co-manifestation object” and the time of “co-manifestation”.
Although this formula seems rather rudimentary and is not entirely accurate, Xiang Kun knew that this was just Old Xia’s preliminary deduction and summary, based on a bit of time in the morning, conducting “co-manifestation” experiments one by one by using associated super-connected objects, and reducing or increasing the use of “super-connected objects” during the experimental process.
As the number of “super-connected objects” she establishes the contact with increases in the future, the use of “Illusion Reality” becomes more proficient, becomes more familiar with her dreamland, “develops” more “abilities” and application methods, and purchases more equipment for testing and experimenting, this system and formula will undoubtedly become more perfect.
Furthermore, just from the morning experiment, Xia Libing found that although she could also make that “sphere bead” a special “super-connected object” capable of “co-manifestation” by projecting her dreamland, the influence brought by the “sphere bead” in the process of Illusion Reality is far less than that of the coin.
In comparison, due to its small size, the sphere bead is more difficult to familiarise with through touch, perception, and other methods than the coin.
She believes that her connection to Xiang Kun’s “super-connected object” coin gives her a stronger sense of association, making it easier to handle. But in Xiang Kun’s case, whether it’s a coin or a tungsten steel ball, the specific induction strength is the same and there is no difference. It demonstrates that the influence provided by the “sphere bead” in her co-manifestation process is lower, which is directly related to the fact that she is less familiar with the “sphere bead”.
This is the reason why she prefers Xiang Kun to give her a coin instead of other “super-connected objects”.
While looking at the notebook and hearing Old Xia’s introduction, Xiang Kun corrected Old Xia’s description according to his understanding, then the two continued to discuss and improve the “Consciousness Entangled Particle” and “Illusion Reality” system.
Whether it’s a formula, theory, or hypothesis, its most important function is to be “used”; they are “tools”.
Physicists and mathematicians can use formulas and theories to solve problems, they need the theories and formulas to be more rigorous. However, the theories and formulas established under Xiang Kun’s “Super Sensory Object System” are vastly different from other disciplines. What is most important to understand is the system constructed by Xiang Kun’s consciousness and abilities.
Last night, Xia Libing also realized this. Therefore, her approach to summarizing is not to use the various theories of the traditional real world for deduction, but to try to understand Xiang Kun’s “system” as a priority. Under this premise, she proceeded with the theoretical and formula deduction she could understand.
With Xiang Kun’s help, Xia Libing better perfected her formulae and theories, further completed Xiang Kun’s system, which would surely help her use the “Illusion Reality” ability better, and even develop new derivative abilities.
In return, this would also help Xiang Kun acquire and enhance these abilities.
After boarding the plane, since there were other passengers in the front, back, and beside them, the two didn’t continue discussing this topic. Of course, even if they did actually discuss, others who heard it, would either think they are two very capable top students, or two daydreaming jokers.
“By the way, is the black circle graffiti arranged?” Xiang Kun remembered something and asked.
“It’s arranged.” Xia Libing said, extending her hand to Xiang Kun.
Xiang Kun understood what she meant, opened the bag that was not yet placed on the luggage rack, took out a notebook, tore off a page steadily, and put it in her hand.
The paper was filled with various black circles and arcs, which is Xiang Kun’s most particular “Emotional Infusion Item” – the black circle graffiti.
Because he had to leave Citong temporarily, he had no way to investigate the “vampire patient” in the third hospital in detail, so Xiang Kun called Old Xia this morning and asked her to find a way to put the black circle graffiti he had sent her before into the patient’s ward.
In this way, Xiang Kun could attempt to trigger the patient’s dreamland through this “emotional infusion item” – the black circle graffiti, and probe into her secrets through her dreamland to see if there could be any gains.
Old Xia naturally completed the “task”, and now wanted Xiang Kun to “reimburse” her for the black circle graffiti she used.
Although at present, Old Xia still has no way to establish any direct connection with the “black circle graffiti”, nor can she be moved emotionally by it or have a dreamland, after hearing Xiang Kun’s description of the “Super Sensory State”, she is clearly very interested in this kind of item.
After keeping the black circle graffiti, Xia Libing put out her hand again: “Give me one more.”
Xiang Kun thought for a moment, and still tore off a page and gave it to her. He knew that apart from food, Old Xia would not hoard or possess other things for no reason. So, if she asks, that means she has a reason, maybe she has some ideas for experiments.
By the time the plane landed, it was already past ten o’clock.
After they picked up their luggage, they saw Tang Baona and Yang Zhen Er who had come to pick them up.
