Little Chubby Girl's "Magic" System

For most people, the same thing they deduce from clues is often more certain than what they hear from someone they don't know very well.

Because people are always more willing to trust their own judgments.

Therefore, many scammers often use a common tactic—creating conditions that lead you to deduce the information they want to mislead you.

How can you create a chance encounter without arousing suspicion? Xiang Kun's method is similar: he doesn't deliberately try to bump into others, but instead lets others "bump into" him.

From the conversation between Liu Shiling and her mother, Xiang Kun deduced that they would choose to eat at the restaurant that specializes in rabbit meat. Although Shiling's Mother had not yet agreed to her daughter's request or mentioned which restaurant they would go to, the overall trend of the conversation and his assessment of Shiling's Mother's personality already led him to this conclusion.

Xiang Kun arrived at the restaurant early because it was extremely popular and it was lunchtime, so he had to get a number and wait in the rest area outside.

Before long, six young men who looked like students came over with number plates and sat down next to him.

A few minutes later, Xiang Kun saw Shiling's Mother walking towards him, leading the Little Chubby Girl.

Judging from the direction they came from and the time it took them to arrive, Xiang Kun deduced that they had forgotten the location of the restaurant and had been searching for a while.

He was looking down at his phone, seemingly oblivious to their presence.

However, his appearance was so distinctive that both the Little Chubby Girl and Shiling's Mother noticed him immediately. Then, the Little Chubby Girl exclaimed in surprise, "Bald Uncle!"

Xiang Kun paused for a moment, looked up blankly around, then his gaze locked onto Liu Shiling who was running towards him. He stood up and revealed a surprised and delighted smile.

"Little Bell, what are you doing here?" Xiang Kun gently pinched the chubby cheeks of the Little Chubby Girl who ran up to him and hugged his leg, then looked at Shiling's Mother who had followed behind. "What a coincidence!"

"Yes, I didn't expect to run into Mr. Xiang here." Shiling's Mother greeted him with considerable surprise. "When did Mr. Xiang arrive in Star City? Is he here on a business trip?" Apart from finding it a coincidence, she didn't have any other thoughts. After all, deciding to eat rabbit meat and come to this restaurant was a decision they had just made on the spur of the moment, and Xiang Kun had obviously been waiting here for a while.

"Actually, I've only been in Star City for a few hours. I still have my luggage with me. This matter is very simple, and I should be able to leave tomorrow." Xiang Kun said, glancing at the customers in front of him being led inside by the waiter, and smiled, "I've heard that this restaurant makes particularly delicious rabbit meat, so I came to try it. You know, I've always been very interested in cooking rabbit meat."

Shiling's Mother also smiled and said, "Mr. Xiang's rabbit meat is absolutely delicious. Liu Shiling especially loves it and has been talking about it all the time since we arrived in Star City. She was just saying she wanted to eat Mr. Xiang. Xiang's rabbit meat, so I brought her here. I didn't expect to run into you like this..."

Xiang Kun laughed and said, "Since that's the case, how about we eat together? We can order more dishes and try more things. Anyway, I'm eating alone."

Shiling's Mother hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Not only was she feeling a bit hungry, and sharing a table with Xiang Kun would allow them to eat two tables earlier, but she also had some questions for Xiang Kun. If she had his phone number, she probably would have called him already.

Liu Shiling and her daughter naturally sat down next to Xiang Kun and waited for their seats with him, so there was no need for them to get new number plates.

As soon as the Little Chubby Girl sat down, she proudly showed Xiang Kun how she flipped Coin.

"Uncle Baldy, I've learned it too!"

Actually, when Xiang Kun was secretly following her from a distance, he had already noticed the Little Chubby Girl flipping Coin with one hand.

To be honest, when Xiang Kun first saw this scene, he was even more shocked than Shiling's Mother, who was seeing her daughter learn to flip Coin for the first time—after all, the latter had watched her daughter learn step by step, day by day, so the impact wasn't as great.

Watching the Coin roll freely on the Little Chubby Girl's hand, using her improved technique to make Coin roll one less time while rolling more smoothly, Xiang Kun felt that this was a skill that a child of this age could not master through "hard practice." It must be related to the reduced sensitivity of the Coin.

It seems the Little Chubby Girl has gained some ability similar to his skillful control over objects through which he established "Super-Sensory Link"?

But this is a bit strange. Could it be that the substance that helps establish a "Super-Sensory Link" with oneself and objects can be absorbed by others?

Why don't other items that have established a "Super-Sensory Link" exhibit this very noticeable decrease in sensory sensitivity?

Are there any special conditions for absorption?

So Xiang Kun pretended to be very surprised and asked, "Little Bell is really amazing! It took me several years to learn it. You are much better than Uncle Baldy! Tell Uncle, how did you learn it?"

The Little Chubby Girl exclaimed in surprise, "This Coin is a magic Coin!"

The implication is that this Coin is magical, and I, Liu Shiling, possess magic, so I don't need to practice?

Xiang Kun recalled what he had said to Liu Shiling about the magic Coin and magic, so he blinked and decided to follow the little girl's train of thought. He then asked, "Little Bell, tell Uncle Baldy, how did you master the magic and make it spin?"

Liu Shiling looked down at the Coin and said seriously, "I told it that it can flip over, it shouldn't fall down, it should flip over like this, and then like this." As she spoke, her chubby fingers moved nimbly, slowly flipping the Coin from between her index and middle fingers directly to between her ring and little fingers, holding it firmly—she could even give Xiang Kun a slow-motion demonstration.

Looking at her daughter, Shiling's Mother, standing nearby, felt a mix of worry and concern.

Xiang Kun understood. So the Little Chubby Girl attributed her ability to flip Coin to the Coin themselves, considering it one of the "magical" properties of the Coin?

So, in the Little Chubby Girl's understanding, she wanted to gain "magic" not through practice, but through "communication" with the Coin, and needed to obtain the Coin's "approval"—although to others, her "communication" with the Coin seemed like practice.

Well, if you put it that way, the Little Chubby Girl's idea seems close to the truth?

"Where's that magic paper?" Xiang Kun asked again. Of course, he already knew through his senses that the paper was in the big pocket on the belly of the Little Chubby Girl's denim overalls.

Sure enough, the Little Chubby Girl took out a neatly folded A4 sheet of paper from the pocket on her stomach.

Compared to when Xiang Kun gave it to her last time, this piece of paper had many more creases and looked much older. However, it was still clear that the Little Chubby Girl took good care of it; there were no stains or tears. This was evident from the careful way she took it out and the way she treated it like a precious treasure.

Shiling's Mother chimed in, "She always folds it once or twice with the piece of paper you gave her, and then she practices with other paper. Her origami is very popular at kindergarten now."

Liu Shiling proudly said, "I can now fold twenty-eight kinds of origami, and I can also fold six kinds of airplanes." As she spoke, she made a six with her chubby little hand.

"Little Bell is amazing!" Xiang Kun praised, then asked, "This paper is also magic paper, so why did you use other paper to fold it? Wasn't it supposed to be that magical items don't require practice?"

Liu Shiling said matter-of-factly, "Because that piece of paper will tear if you fold it too much! Baldy Uncle, please give me a few more pieces of magic paper!"

"Okay, I'll bring you a few more next time I come to Star City on a business trip." Xiang Kun agreed with a smile. He felt that Liu Shiling's little mind must have already built up a complete system of magical items and magic. If Shiling's Mother hadn't been there, and he was afraid that talking too much about this topic would be a bit strange and childish, he really wanted to ask for more details.

Based on his previous observations of various phenomena and his understanding of "Super-Sensory Link," "Emotional Injection," and other abilities related to consciousness perception, combined with the Little Chubby Girl's behavior and descriptions, Xiang Kun made some speculations and conjectures:

He previously assumed that establishing "Super-Sensory Link" or "Emotional Injection" with objects was equivalent to "formatting" and "programming" them with his consciousness. However, these objects themselves did not have any actual "functions." Whether it was objects with "Super-Sensory Link" that allowed Xiang Kun to sense their location and make them easier for Xiang Kun to control, or objects with "Emotional Injection" that could perceive other people's emotions and guide Xiang Kun's dreams based on those emotions after others fell asleep, the root of these abilities still came from Xiang Kun himself.

Therefore, in theory, the "functions" on these items should not be activated when Xiang Kun does not "sensitize" them; they themselves should not possess the ability to perform the "functions".

However, judging from the Little Chubby Girl's behavior, she did indeed gain the ability to establish a "Super-Sensory Link" with Xiang Kun and control over objects.

Could it be said that the Little Chubby Girl, through some means, synchronized her consciousness with the "client" on the items, gaining "recognition" and the ability to interact, thus acquiring the permission to "call functions"? Therefore, when she interacts with these items, she can directly connect to Xiang Kun through them, and to some extent, "call" Xiang Kun's abilities, which in turn help her use these items?

So, how did the Little Chubby Girl achieve this?

Xiang Kun didn't believe that anyone who obtained the items through which he established a "Super-Sensory Link" could "access" his abilities.

Little Chubby Girl's description, there are several possible conditions, such as having sufficient contact and understanding with these items, genuinely believing in their magic and function, and gaining Xiang Kun's approval.

Once a table was available, a waiter came over and led them to their seats. Then he brought a menu to order. Xiang Kun ordered four dishes and a soup related to rabbit meat, which he then handed to Shiling's Mother. The latter was worried that they wouldn't be able to finish it, so she only added one vegetable dish.

The dishes arrived shortly afterward. Xiang Kun explained that he had already eaten lunch and wasn't hungry. He had come here mainly to try different ways of cooking rabbit meat, so he couldn't eat too much.

Shiling's Mother served her daughter some food and soup, then, while Shiling was focused on eating, she carefully leaned over to Xiang Kun and said, "Mr. Xiang, is there anything special about that Coin?"

Xiang Kun asked curiously, "What's so special about it?"

"Well..." Shiling's Mother seemed unsure of what to say for a moment, her expression somewhat conflicted. So she quietly recounted to Xiang Kun the process of her daughter playing the Coin -guessing game with her, how her daughter's Coin- hiding was easily discovered, and the changes in her personality over this period.
