Chapter One Hundred: If There Was An Assistant

Xiang Kun opened an English medical-textbook PDF file on his computer with a side-flip motion and read for half an hour. He verified that both his memory and reading speed had improved significantly after his mutation, although the directed mutation training hadn’t quite reached its threshold.

However, he didn’t finish the book. Instead, he closed it and opened the Vampire Mutation Model he had coded himself to adjust parameters and the model’s orientation.

In the past two weeks, he had read countless medical and biological-related books. On one hand, it was to help him acquire some fundamental knowledge so he could better understand the different patterns and details of his physical mutation process and trace its origins. On the other hand, it was also to improve his memory, reading speed, and logical thinking abilities, so that he could more efficiently capture necessary knowledge and resolve encountered problems in the future.

But each discipline becomes more and more specialized as you get further into it. It becomes more difficult to understand and involves many specific research directions, projects, and case studies.

Many of these things cannot be fully understood by simply reading books, reviewing documents, and gathering information online. They require lots of practical operations, experiments, and observations. Although he didn’t need to completely master all of these subjects, his personality dictated that once he immersed himself in a subject, he would easily get lost in exhaustive and unnecessary pursuits.

Even though he knew he could further improve his brain’s abilities through this method of extreme reading, he was getting tired of this way of learning. It wasn’t in sync with his rhythm.

Back in high school and college, his reasons for studying usually fell into one of these categories:

To prepare for exams; 2. Personal interests; 3. Because he was already there…

However, after graduation and entering the workforce, his learning became very purposeful. For example, he learned Python after graduating from school for the purpose of data analysis and Al, which suited the programming language well. He had an idea of what he wanted to use it for in the future.

So, every time he finished learning something, he would inevitably want to see if he could apply it somewhere. He had never considered mastering all the related knowledge, even though his reading speed and memory far exceeded ordinary people now. He also didn’t believe he could accomplish that in a short period nor deem it necessary to do so.

When it comes to storing knowledge, the human brain can never outperform a computer. When needed, just call upon it.

Xiang Kun couldn’t help but think that it would be great to have a few assistants to help him fill in the gaps, help him review relevant materials, organize helpful information and details he should pay attention to. Also, they could discuss and analyse the bodily mutation situation with him. Additionally, they could help him arrange the fresh blood needed for his meals, plan the training and experimentations needed for every Blood-drinking Period. Plus, they could perform anticipation and statistics on the results, and they could chat and play games during the downtime…

Xiang Kun slapped his forehead to interrupt his daydreaming. For this to become a reality, he was afraid he would have to give himself up to the government.

However, thinking about assistants and partners, he happened to recall a survey/vote post from a reasonably popular technical forum:

“Who is your ideal assistant?”

There were many options like:

“A middle-aged uncle with half-white hair who has rich social experience and can help you handle all kinds of interpersonal relationships and trifling matters.”

“A well-built aunty who excels in various housework, can cook excellent dishes, can make dishes from various cuisines, can make different dishes every day for a month.”

“A taciturn lad with a Mediterranean-style haircut who is good at different technologies and extremely skilled at BUGFIXING.”

“A humorous older brother who always wears a long coat and looks like Guo Degang and can make you laugh in thirty seconds no matter when.”

There were more than a dozen options, and you could only vote for one, not multiple ones.

The top two were:
