Chapter 402: Chapter 402: Crying with Laughter

Xiang Kun quickly realized, the reason he couldn’t get in the mood was because of Old Xia’s presence.

Although Old Xia hadn’t uttered a word or made a sound, most of his attention was still on her, because he knew that getting in the mood was preparing for “Emotional Assimilation” with Old Xia, it was hard not to focus on Old Xia.

Even without looking at her, Xiang Kun’s current all-around powerful perception ability could clearly “tell” him – whether it was through smell, hearing or other senses – that Old Xia was right by his side.

Xiang Kun is indeed someone who is prone to emotional fluctuations and resonates easily. His emotions can easily be stirred whether it’s by watching movies, TV dramas, reading novels, listening to music, or even just simply watching mixed clips.

If he’s in a crowd and no one pays too much attention to him, he can also easily get in the mood.

Like that Christmas Eve night at Tang Baona’s house, while listening to Tang Baona sing “No Way to Fade” with everyone, he also got in the mood.

Even on a bustling street, amidst the flowing crowd, listening to the music playing from a distant store, he could get in the mood as well.

But now, it was just him and Old Xia. And he had a very clear intention to get in the mood, to “emotionally assimilate” Old Xia, to make Old Xia also experience these emotions.

Such an excessive deliberate thought instead made him lose his feeling. He was too focused on making Old Xia experience this, that it was hard for him to immerse himself in his own experience.

Unlike the time he was at the abandoned factory attempting to leap from the rooftop, relying on “Super-connected Objects” to disturb the magnetic field to assist in “Electric Mastery Flight,” he was solely focused on discovering and extending his new abilities, excitement and exuberance came naturally.

Nor was it like that day on Zi Huan Mountain, where external events that could stimulate his emotions and subjective will were present, and his heart was already “blazing”, the music was just “kindling,” making him light up instantly.

Now it was just… too peaceful and cozy.

This is why he couldn’t immerse himself in the videos or songs that he normally finds emotionally moving when he watches them alone in his spare time.

Xia Libing noticed the situation and realizing something, she offered to Xiang Kun, “How about I hide in the room first, and then sneak out after you get in the mood?”

But she also immediately realized that this suggestion was pointless because with Xiang Kun’s super sensing ability, her presence in the room would be as strongly felt as her sitting next to him.

Then she suggested, “Do you have any movies that easily evoke emotions?”

Indeed, watching a movie could prolong the time needed to cultivate emotional buildup, allowing Xiang Kun to ignore his surroundings and more easily immerse himself within his emotions.

So, Xiang Kun went on Douban to see what kind of movies he had seen in the past that had an emotional impact on him.

But Old Xia’s suggestion also reminded Xiang Kun that some emotions are more easily submerged in alone, they’re more “personal,” requiring a certain “self-hypnosis” ability.

However, some other emotions are actually suited to be experienced with others, and the more people the better.

So, Xiang Kun closed Douban, stopped looking for movies, and opened up Bilibili, logged into his account, prepared to search for funny videos.

Yes, happiness and joy are emotions that are naturally suited for everyone to experience together.

As the saying goes, “Shared joy is double joy.”

Most of the time when Xiang Kun was on Bilibili, he would watch Tang Baona’s videos, so he didn’t know any funny UP master, and would need to filter through the funny search results himself, most of them would not be up to his taste.

But he knew Tang Baona has a public collection called “Bursting with Laughter”, she stores all the funny videos she comes across there.

And he knew that if Tang Baona finds a video funny and interesting, he would also think it’s very funny. This was proven when he was making the minions and had Tang Baona recommend some funny fictions and animations to him.
