Chapter 187: Chapter 187 Very Idle

Translator: 549690339

According to his regular blood-drinking schedule, Xiang Kun should have felt hunger on Nov 4, which was yesterday morning, and had his usual blood intake.

Based on his last recorded intake, he would have needed the blood of four Belgian rabbits this time. If the quantity did increase, it would be at most five rabbits.

However, to Xiang Kun’s surprise, after drinking blood from four rabbits, he was still strongly hungry. As a result, he took blood from two more rabbits.

Even after having the blood of six rabbits, he was still hungry.

Originally, there were six chubby Belgian rabbits reserved in Xiang Kun’s house. According to previous experiences, his blood intake should have shown stable linear growth. Under normal circumstances, having consumed four rabbits last time, reserving six rabbits should have given quite a large allowance.

After all, he’s currently living in a residential area. If he keeps too many rabbits at once, it would easily attract the attention of his neighbors and the property managers. Such a high number is unnecessary given the significant smell produced.

He never expected that his blood intake would suddenly increase so dramatically – six rabbits’ blood was still not enough.

Fortunately, while the blood intake was inadequate causing him to still feel hungry, he also felt drowsy which indicated that he had satisfied the basic requirement. Therefore, Xiang Kun didn’t risk getting a new source of blood but went straight to sleep.

Last time he hadn’t drunk enough blood, he slept for 32 hours. This time, he slept from 8 am on the 4th until 9 pm the next evening, sleeping a total of 37 hours!

Before sending the minion to Xiao Pingguo, Xiang Kun had been constantly testing his body and pondering the reasons for his sudden blood intake increase.

With this pace, his house might need to have about ten rabbits at all times. He is unsure whether eight Belgian rabbits’ blood would be sufficient for the next time?

After Xiao Pingguo’s dreamlike “shock education”, Xiang Kun shifted his attention to the twelve wooden carvings.

If there was anything different about this blood-drinking period, it would have been the total of fifteen wooden carvings he made, including thirteen minions and an Alsace and a Canary.

However, the wooden carvings of Alsace and Canary, because of the “super sensory contact” established in advance with the wood material, could not complete the “emotional infusion”.

So actually the number of “emotional infusions” is only thirteen minion carvings.

But thirteen, if considered only for its quantity, is indeed the most he has ever established a special association with objects, including the “super sensory contact” , within one blood-drinking period.

Assuming that his blood intake increased significantly this time because he carved thirteen “emotionally infused” minions, then:

1, It shouldn’t be due to excessive energy consumption, otherwise, the hunger should appear when energy consumption reaches a certain level, not at a set blood-drinking cycle. If his blood intake in the upcoming blood-drinking period is still over six rabbits, it would prove this point;

2, If the thirteen “emotional infusions” did not cause massive energy consumption leading to higher blood intake, it might have been due to the process of forming complete associations after the blood-drinking sleep, which required much larger blood intake than usual.

In other words, after Xiang Kun carved the thirteen “minions” and completed “emotional infusion”, the brain sent the body a “demand”: to fully establish the connection, it required more blood consumption. Therefore, when the blood-drinking period came, his body communicated the request for more blood, as a form of hunger.

This pattern seems similar to Xiang Kun’s targeted mutation training;

3, If point 2 is correct, then, whether it is “super sensory contact” or “emotional infusion”, these objects with special connections to Xiang Kun are actually the result of his bodily mutations. On some level, they might even be part of him as a whole?

So, the continuous connections between Xiang Kun and these objects, while in different forms, are not simply him “providing” these objects with some functionalities?

4, In this case, blood seems more like the “raw material” required for his periodical mutation and evolution. But what about the energy he exhausts during daily activities? Does it get transformed and stored “incidentally” in the process of periodic mutation, just like “charging”? But why hasn’t he ever felt hunger due to over-exercise to this date? Is it because his daily physical activities are almost trivial compared to his “charge”?

Or, is there another system providing energy to support his daily activities? He hasn’t been eating anything other than fresh blood. It definitely wouldn’t be something like “photosynthesis”, right?

Xiang Kun glanced irritably at his cabinet. His microscope was stored inside.

First, he should check whether his cells are still powered by ATP and then retrospectively trace the source of the ATP to see if it’s same as that in other humans.

Remembering the violent reaction of his erythrocytes during his previous observations, Xiang Kun decided to set this question aside for now, not to mention his current equipment wasn’t sufficient. He picked up his phone and began to check various messages received during his 37-hour sleeping period.

He received some messages on QQfrom an old acquaintance on the forum who used to outsource tasks to him, saying the investor who had mentioned the project wanted to chat with Xiang Kun and asked whether Xiang Kun would meet him in Pengcheng, or if they should schedule an online video conference. Of course, if Xiang Kun was willing to go to Pengcheng, they would cover the round-trip business class airfare and five-star hotel accommodation, with another bonus for his trouble.

The messages were sent at 9 am yesterday when Xiang Kun had just fallen “asleep”.

Having not received a reply for so long, Xiang Kun reckoned they might think he has refused.
