Chapter 424: Chapter 424: The Prospect of ‘Xiao Pingguo

Before ending the call, Little Apple mentioned something else.

She said that tonight, while using Golden Sparkle to sense the outside world, she seemed to have a special sense of some “things” around her.

At first, she didn’t pay much attention to it because she often had this vague, uncertain feeling when receiving sense data through Golden Sparkle.

But when Golden Sparkle returned home, she found that when conducting Object Sensing through the coin given by Xiang Kun, she once again had a distinct sense of the direction of certain objects around her, much clearer than the ones achieved through Golden Sparkle.

According to Little Apple’s description, Xiang Kun made a guess, so he asked her to fetch a glass of water from the kitchen. This helped Xiang Kun to instantly confirm that the object she was sensing was —— water.

Then Xiang Kun started guiding her, helping her to specify her sensing target.

After continuous experiments and attempts, Little Apple’s perception of water became clearer and clearer.

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

For example, if a cup contains more than 200 ml of water and is placed within five meters, she can accurately grasp the location and distance of that cup of water and build a very specific, detailed location in her mind, with some perceptions of the shape of the water.

But if there’s only about 50 ml of water remaining in the cup, this kind of perception would be much less.

Moreover, if she stands in the washroom with the tap running, she can clearly sense the running tap water beside her.

But if the tap is turned off, this kind of sensation weakens a lot, and the position sense becomes more vague. Of course, it’s still enough for positioning.

Compared with the water in the cup, which is an open container, the liquid in a bottle, whether it is mineral water or cola, even if the volume far exceeds 200 ml in the cup, the Sensing is relatively weak and very vague.

This sensing pattern is clearly different from Xiang Kun’s perception of water —— there is not much difference between his perception of water in a closed container and in an open container.

Because Little Apple was walking around with the phone, one moment going to the kitchen to pour water, the next to the washroom to turn on the tap, the moment after taking a drink out of the fridge but not drinking it, she’d already caught Professor Li’s attention with her strange behavior. So Xiang Kun didn’t chat with Little Apple much. He just gave her a few suggestions for training her ability to sense water before ending the call.

For now, Little Apple’s perception of water is still at a very primary level.

Her perception is limited by her current conditions, and she can’t experience immersion like Xiang Kun does.

However, from Little Apple’s description of her perception, Xiang Kun instantly thought of the benefits this Perception could bring her.

Water is a very common substance which can even be said to be ubiquitous. Once Little Apple is able to greatly increase the precision of her water perception and the range of her sensory perception, using water as a positional anchor, her Perception would improve once again – too many times stronger than a normal sighted person, even though she still can’t see.

It is important to note that humans and other living beings contain a large amount of water. Although she can’t sense it yet, it might be possible in the future.

If she can incorporate this perception of water into Golden Sparkle, when Little Apple senses the outside world with the help of Golden Sparkle, she won’t be analysing based on smells or sounds, but rather instantly “opening the full map”.

Of course, we are far from there right now, not to mention allowing Golden Sparkle to synchronize the Perception. Even now, she still can’t clearly sense the location of all the water in her house.

However, the discovery of this ability undoubtedly gave Little Apple a clear direction for growth, and she saw an incredibly “vast” future.

After Xiang Kun helped her confirm her special sensation for water, she clearly realized this and was very excited.

It can be predicted that she will surely focus on practicing and developing the sensation of water perception in the following period.

Given that she promised Xiang Kun that she would only let Golden Sparkle wander around the residential area and nearby parks recently, the likelihood of her eavesdropping on “bad things” and getting into trouble before coming to Tongshi Town would be much less.

After ending the call, Xiang Kun, who was standing by the window, turned around and looked towards the wall. In the room separated by that wall, the three girls were discussing topics related to him at that moment.

“Old Xia, you’ve been in contact with Brother Xiang more frequently recently, have you noticed anything regarding what I asked you about?” Yang Zhen’er spoke with her mysterious tone.

“What did you ask me?” Xia Libing asked.

“Eh? I’m talking about keeping an eye on Brother Xiang! On the 14th, didn’t I send you a WeChat message saying that Brother Xiang might be involved in some ‘secret organization’, carrying out some ‘secret tasks’? I told you to investigate it thoroughly! See, see, the chat records are right here!” Yang Zhen’er kept on talking.

Upon hearing this, Xiang Kun instantly thought of Valentine’s Day night when Yang Zhen’er sent those messages to Old Xia via WeChat —— Old Xia was sleeping at that time and the mobile phone was on him, so he was the first one to see those messages.

Unexpectedly, Yang Lao San was still pondering her theory.

From the other room, Tang Baona laughed, “Secret organization, secret tasks! Zhen’er, you can’t possibly believe that? Xiang Kun belongs to what secret organization? The Bald Party?”

“Eh? You might be onto something! Maybe the ‘secret organization’ Brother Xiang joined requires shaving the head to enter!” Yang Zhen’er seemed to have been reminded of something and immediately said.

Tang Baona couldn’t stop laughing and said between her laughs, “I remember what you said when we first met Xiang Kun, when you saw the video of Xiang Kun standing up for justice, kicking the knife-wielding thug. You said Xiang Kun might be a martial monk… ”

“That wasn’t me talking nonsense! The title of the video online was ‘Reclusive Martial Monk Kills Criminal’!” Yang Zhen’er argued.

“Your imagination… Why don’t you write novels?” Tang Baona laughed.

“I’m terrible at writing!” Yang Zhen’er replied affirmatively, “Stop daydreaming, Old Xia, I’m asking you. Do you see any peculiar behavior from Brother Xiang during your stay in Citong? Have you met any of his friends from his hometown? Besides coding and developing games, he must be doing other things. He often treats you to meals, right? Yes! You had a meal at his home on New Year’s Eve. How are his parents? What are their personalities like? I know you observe everyone, you must have some judgements!” Yang Zhen’er said excitedly.
