Chapter 407: Chapter 407: Little Fatty Girl and Custard Pie

Of course, Xiang Kun hadn’t taught Liu Shiling how to lay a “ritual array” with coins, but he knew that based on Little Fatty Girl’s “magical girl” logic, upon hearing these words, she would creatively construct a very “serious” way to set up the “array”.

Anyway, all he needed to do was place the coins next to the “Custard Pie,” regardless of how they were arranged, it wasn’t crucial.

Even if Little Fatty Girl didn’t lay them out, as long as those coins and “emotion-infused object” chopsticks were in the same room as the “Custard Pie,” Xiang Kun could accurately locate the cat after entering the “Super Sensory State.”

Yes, what Xiang Kun needs to do now is to determine what the problem with the cat is through the “Super Sensory State”.

The reason for asking Little Fatty Girl to “arrange the array” is mainly to ease her worries and allow her to rest peacefully.

Sure enough, upon hearing Xiang Kun’s words, Liu Shiling immediately took out the total of five “magic coins” given to her by Xiang Kun and carefully placed them next to the couch cushion where “Custard Pie” was lying. She took out a box with handmade chopsticks and placed it right in front, then asked Xiang Kun in the video: “Uncle Bald, is this okay?”

Xiang Kun gestured an OK sign.

After ending the video call, Little Fatty Girl obediently climbed into bed, covered herself with a blanket, and continued with her nap.

Shiling’s Mom sighed in relief. She was increasingly grateful and impressed with Xiang Kun’s skill in coaxing children. She thought Mr. Xiang would be well suited to be a preschool teacher.

As she reached the room entrance and was about to close the door, she glanced at “Custard Pie” again.

The cat was still curled up motionless on the cushion. In front of it were the snacks and cat food that Liu Shiling had tried to lure it with, and the five neatly arranged coins, along with a pair of chopsticks in the center, it appeared as if…an offering was being made?

Shiling’s Mom shook her head helplessly and closed the door.

Just as the door was closed, Liu Shiling, who appeared to be preparing for sleep with her blanket over her, immediately sat up, and collapsed at the edge of the bed. Kneeling on the bed, she gripped on the edge of the bed and stared wide-eyed at “Custard Pie” as well as the coins and chopsticks surrounding it.

She knew that Uncle Bald could definitely cast a spell remotely using those “Magic Coins”—she had witnessed it before!

Furthermore, after reflecting and perceiving the situation when ‘Custard Pie’ was brought home from the pet hospital with her mom the night before, she was sure that her reason for worrying about ‘Custard Pie’ and confirming that its condition was off, were due to the ‘intuition’ that the ‘Magic Wand’ chopsticks and five ‘Magic Coins’ had conveyed to her.

Liu Shiling believed that since it has to do with ‘magic’, Uncle Bald will surely have ways of resolving it!

On the other hand, Xiang Kun entered the “Super Sensory State”, through the descending perception of the chopsticks and locking onto the position of the cat through the “Super-connected Objects” coins. He started to receive perception information representing it.

Compared to observing “Custard Pie” through video, in the “Super Sensory State”, Xiang kun had a more direct and clear perception of its abnormalities.

Xiang Kun has received cognitive information of more than one cat in his “Super Sensory State”. He could distinguish some basic physiological characteristics of the cat through cognitive information. Of course, it wasn’t necessary for Custard Pie, because he had already observed its appearance through video multiple times and all that information was familiar.

However, within the cognitive information of “Custard Pie,” there was a part that made Xiang Kun perceive an anomaly — because this part of the cognitive information gave him a strong sense of familiarity. This was cognitive information that had something in common with “Super-connected Objects”!

That is to say, under “Super Sensory State”, this British short-haired obese cat had similar characteristics to those five “Super-connected Object” coins.

In other words, “Custard Pie” like “Golden Shine” … had entered the “Super Sensory Item System” and become part of the “network”.

However, Xiang Kun was slightly puzzled. “Golden Shine” was incorporated into the “Super Sensory Item System” because it was already his pet and had his “approval”.

It was Xiao Pingguo who linked “Golden Shine” into the system with her “development” ability, making it one of the “units” in the matrix.

But “Custard Pie,” Xiang Kun had never had direct contact with.

How did it enter the “Super-connected System” then?

However, Xiang Kun quickly noticed some patterns within the cognitive information, and deduced that it had to do with Little Fatty Girl and two of her “Super-connected Object” coins.

Xiang Kun knew that the connection this cat had, had something to do with Little Fatty Girl.

But it was clear that it hadn’t fully “joined the network,” its connection with the “Super Sensory Item System” merely extended to Little Fatty Girl.

This likely explained why it had suddenly become so listless and exhausted.

After leaving the Super Sensory State, Xiang Kun began to rearrange his thoughts. He thought for a moment, then sent a QQ message to Little Fatty Girl, asking her how she had found and obtained this cat.

While he was in Super Sensory State just now, he was well aware that Little Fatty Girl hadn’t fallen asleep, and that her IPAD was still in her room.

Sure enough, a minute later, he received a voice message from Little Fatty Girl where she was obviously muffling her voice, careful as she sent it from under her blanket.

“Custard Pie came to me on its own…”

After asking a few questions, Xiang Kun understood the process of how Little Fatty Girl had “subdued” Custard Pie. Apparently, one night, she saw Custard Pie being chased by a group of stray dogs. She then tried to use her “magic” to help it, but fell asleep as she apparently lacked “sufficient power.”

Although Little Fatty Girl couldn’t recall exactly when this happened, Xiang Kun deduced the timing accurately based on her descriptions. It was precisely when he was taking a high-speed train back to Citong for the Lunar New Year the year before.

That was when he suddenly sensed Little Fatty Girl’s chopsticks and thus entered a dreamland sequence that was already halfway through.

That was the first time he had not triggered a dream through “Emotion Infused Objects,” but entered a dream midway.

He later theorized that Little Fatty Girl had utilized her “developed” ability, directly using the two “Super-connected” coins as power support, to “guide” the manifestation of that dream.

At that time, Xiang Kun, while in Little Fatty Girl’s dream, focused completely on her. He only had a general observation of the surrounding things and didn’t pay much attention to them. After all, Little Fatty Girl’s dream was quite… cartoonish. Many elements were from her unbridled imagination, like an imperfect fusion between two and three dimensions.

After leaving the dream, he then shifted his focus onto Little Fatty Girl’s newly “developed” ability, the application of multiple “super-connected Items” to manipulate the surrounding magnetic field, and this ultimately led to his rescue at the station not long after.

But now, upon a more meticulous revisit to his memory, Xiang Kun suddenly remembered a “monster” he had overlooked in that dreamland.

It was a cat with an exceptionally large head and ears!

Even if the cartoonish elements were ignored, its appearance was much different from the real-life Custard Pie. They simply didn’t look like the same cat, there were no resemblances except for them both being cats.

Moreover, in that dream of Little Fatty Girl, as the dream host, she herself seemed to pay no attention to that big-headed cat hiding amongst a bunch of white rabbits.

But now, Xiang Kun suddenly realized, that cat was “Custard Pie”!

That night, Little Fatty Girl unknowingly included “Custard Pie” into the “Super Sensory Item System.”

Or, to be precise, she only connected it with her own “Super Sensory Item System.” It’s just that the two of them formed a small local network, “Custard Pie” had not been granted wider system access, and had no authority to call upon or borrow Xiang Kun’s powers.

Perhaps it was for this reason, when Little Fatty Girl received the three new “Super-connected” coins sent by Xiang Kun, changes happened to her power support system, and the “Custard Pie” was unable to adapt, resulting in its current lethargic state.

Although it was just a hypothesis, Xiang Kun felt that even if he didn’t get all the details correct, the overall direction should be right.

Regardless, it was astounding that Little Fatty Girl was able to forcibly pull a creature Xiang Kun wasn’t aware of into her own “Super Sensory Item System”!

What this meant was that Little Fatty Girl’s connection with Xiang Kun’s “Super Sensory Item System” was already very close to that of “Super-connected Objects” and “Emotion Infused Objects.” She herself was already a basic “unit” within the entire system.

Her connection with this power system was deeper than that of “Apple” and Old Xia, who are also in the system.

Though Xiang Kun analyzed a lot, in reality, it only took him two or three seconds. Lastly, when he received the inquiry from Liu Shiling, “Bald Uncle, how is Custard Pie doing?”, he responded directly:

“Xiao Lingdang, your chicken-wing-sis and I will come to Star City tomorrow…no, today. Today, to bring you out for some delicious food, and to check on ‘Custard Pie’ by the way. Don’t worry, I know what’s wrong with ‘Custard Pie.’ It’s okay.”
