Little Apple's Prospects

Before ending the call, "Little Apple" mentioned something else.

Tonight, while she was perceiving the outside world through "Gold Glitter," she discovered that she seemed to have a special sensitivity to some "things" around her.

At first, she didn't pay much attention to it, because when receiving sensory information through "Gold Glitter," she often had this vague and uncertain feeling.

But when "Gold Glitter" returned home, she discovered that when she used the Coin Xiang Kun gave her for "Object-Sensing," she once again had that clear perception of the location of certain objects around her, and this perception was much clearer than the one she obtained through "Gold Glitter."

Based on "Little Apple's" description, Xiang Kun had some guesses, so he asked her to go to the kitchen to get a glass of water. After trying it, he immediately confirmed that the object that gave "Little Apple" her special spatial perception was water.

So Xiang Kun began to guide her, helping her to clarify her perceptual goals.

After continuous experiments and trials, the Little Apple's perception of water became clearer and clearer.

Currently, through "Object-Sensing," she can determine the location of a certain amount of water within a straight-line distance of five meters.

For example, if a cup contains more than 200ml of water and is placed within five meters, then when she engages in "Object-Sensing," she can accurately grasp the location and distance of the water, construct a very specific and detailed location in her mind, and have a certain understanding of the form of water.

However, if there is only about 50ml of water left in the cup, this perception will decrease significantly.

Additionally, if she is standing in the bathroom with the tap running, she can clearly feel the tap water flowing in the pipe next to her.

However, if you turn off the tap, this perception weakens considerably, and the sense of location becomes somewhat blurred. Of course, it's still sufficient for locating.

Compared to water in an open container like a cup, the perception of liquids in a bottle, whether it's mineral water or cola, even if the volume is much larger than 200ml in a cup, is relatively weak and quite blurry.

This perception pattern is clearly different from Xiang Kun's perception of water—he doesn't perceive water in a closed container and water in an open container with much difference in perception.

Because "Little Apple" was walking around with the phone, going to the kitchen to get water, going to the bathroom to get hot water, and opening the refrigerator to take out a drink but not drinking it, her strange behavior had already caught Professor Li's attention. Therefore, Xiang Kun did not talk to "Little Apple" for long. He only gave her a few suggestions on how to train her water perception ability before ending the call.

For now, "Little Apple's " perception of water is still at a very basic level.

Limited by circumstances, she couldn't experience river diving as often as Xiang Kun.

However, from "Little Apple's " description of perception, Xiang Kun immediately thought of the benefits that this perception could bring her.

Water is a very common, even ubiquitous substance. Once "Little Apple" can greatly expand the precision and range of her perception of water, and anchor herself to water, her perception will be elevated to another level. Even if she is still blind, her perception will be far superior to that of ordinary people.

It's important to know that humans, as well as other organisms and plants, also contain a large amount of water. Although we cannot perceive it now, we might in the future.

Then, through "Gold Glitter," this perception of water will be assimilated and shared. When "Little Apple" perceives the outside world with the help of "Gold Glitter," it will no longer analyze and judge based on smell and sound, but will instantly "open the full map."

Of course, we are still a long way from that point. Let alone enabling "Gold Glitter" to perceive them simultaneously, she can't even clearly perceive the location of all the water in her own home.

But the discovery of this ability undoubtedly gave "Little Apple" a clear direction for development, allowing her to see an incredibly "broad" prospect.

After Xiang Kun guided her to confirm her special perception of water, she clearly realized this herself and was very excited.

It is foreseeable that in the coming period, she will definitely focus her attention on practicing water perception and developing her abilities.

In addition, given the previous promise to Xiang Kun that "Gold Glitter" would only be allowed to roam around the neighborhood and nearby parks recently, the possibility of her overhearing "bad things" and getting into trouble before she came to Tongshi Town was much smaller.

After ending the call, Xiang Kun, who was standing by the window, turned to look at the wall. In another room separated by the wall, three girls were talking about topics related to him.

"Lao Xia, you've been in a lot of contact with Chef Xiang lately. What's the result of the matter I asked you to handle before?" Yang Zhen'er asked in a mysterious tone.

"What did you tell me to do?" Xia Libing asked.

"Hey? It's about keeping an eye on Chef Xiang! Didn't I send you WeChat on the 14th, telling you that Chef Xiang might be involved with some 'secret organization' and have been carrying out some 'secret missions'? I told you to investigate thoroughly! Look, look, the chat history is still here!" Yang Zhen'er said repeatedly.

Upon Xiang Kun immediately recalled the messages Yang Zhen'er sent to Lao Xia on WeChat that night, Valentine's Day— Lao Xia was asleep at the time, and the phone was in his hand, so he saw those messages immediately.

Unexpectedly, Yang the Third was quite persistent in his wild guesses about her, and he's still pondering them now.

Next door, Tang Baona laughed, "Secret organization, secret mission? Zhen'er, you're not actually taking this seriously, are you? What kind of secret organization could Xiang Kun be? The 'Skinheads'?"

"Hey? You know what? That 'secret organization' that Chef Xiang Ang wants to join requires you to shave your head to get in!" Yang Zhen'er said immediately, as if reminded of something.

Tang Baona laughed incessantly, saying between laughs, "I remember when we first met Xiang Kun, what you said after seeing the video of him bravely kicking away a knife-wielding thug? You said Xiang Kun might be a martial monk..."

"I'm not making this up! The title of that video online was 'Reclusive Monk Kills Thug in Seconds'!" Yang Zhen'er argued.

"Your imagination is amazing... Why don't you go write novels?" Tang Baona laughed.

"My writing is terrible!" Yang Zhen'er said matter-of-factly. "Lao Xia, stop daydreaming. I'm asking you a question. During your time in Citong, did Chef Xiang do anything particularly special?"

Xia Libing said, "Nothing special, just like before."

Tang Baona said, "The game has been updated so frequently lately. As soon as we have feedback, there are immediately corresponding changes in the new version. Chef Xiang must be spending most of his time working on the game."

"Then... then Lao Xia, tell me your impressions and judgments of Chef Xiang over this period of time. Have you met any of his friends back home? Besides writing code and making games, he must do other things, right? Doesn't he often invite you to dinner? Oh right! Didn't you go to his house for dinner on New Year's Eve? What are his parents like? What kind of personalities do they have? I know you observe everyone and must have some judgment!" Yang Zhen'er said excitedly.
