What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Chapter 113 The Captured Golden Sauce

Xiang Kun carefully put the wood carving into a wooden box he made himself, and fixed it so that it would not shake in the box. If the stupid hair was broken, the wood carving would be useless.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, he sat down in front of the computer and opened QQ, and sent a message to a friend: "It's finished, please check and accept it later." Of course, he was not referring to wood carving, but a software outsourcing job.

For the past half month, he was naturally not only thinking about the wooden carving gift for Tang Baona, but on the 15th of last month, he took the initiative to accept an outsourced job.

Xiang Kun didn't like to participate in social activities in reality before, but on the Internet, in certain sections of several purely technical forums, he was considered a relatively well-known and active veteran member.

Many programmers are like him, a kind of creature who is relatively lonely offline, but likes to hang out online.

Xiang Kun often helps to answer some technical questions, and also often sends some of his own views and application experience on new technologies, some case analysis and problem-solving process, and writes lengthy tutorials or summarized articles.

This is not because he is particularly selfless and likes to help others or show off himself, but because in the process, he will express the logic behind this thing in a more popular language. This process is a test and test of his own learning. To sum up, it can not only deepen the impression and consolidate the knowledge, but also sort out the thinking, find some places that I didn't notice before, or get some new ideas.

Many people know him online, or know his skills, and know his general level.

And he also knows a lot of people's opinions, their work, projects they have done, and their habits of doing things, so it is more convenient to communicate with them.

Therefore, when Xiang Kun wants to pick up jobs, he will not pick up jobs directly on platforms such as Zhubajie, CSTO, and sxsoft, nor will he go to forums or QQ groups to find customers who need to post, but from those who also have intersections in various forums, Those who know the basics of the industry will pick it up.

Usually it is second-hand work, or a part of a project, and the income will be relatively less, but it can save a lot of trouble in communication, the needs are relatively clear, and the market conditions are also understood, so you don’t need to spend energy talking to possible laymen. Customers quarreling.

He didn't want to take on this kind of work before. First, because he had just mutated and was still in the physical exploration period, he had to consider more about life and death, and he still had some savings, so he wouldn't face the problem of not being able to make it right away. Lending, unable to pay electricity bills;

The second is because this kind of work is too time-consuming, and he needs a lot of time for various experiments and training for his own body, so he has no energy or interest to do it.

But now, the body's mutation direction has gradually stepped into his guiding direction, and the cycle of drinking blood is relatively fixed. Life and death seem to be no problem, and he is about to carry out the "AI assistant" that looks like a castle in the air. The project can just use the outsourced work to let the brain find a more efficient thinking habit that adapts to programming.

In addition, he is now short of money to spend...

If you want to engage in the "AI assistant" project, you need a new computer, I9 9900X, dual 2080TI, more terminal equipment, and more expensive cloud services.

If you want to open a breeding farm in the countryside in the future, you also need a certain amount of capital. You also need to build a residence that suits you, not just a breeding factory. You need to build a small gym, a small computer room, and a small laboratory—as for the money to sell the house , Most of them have to be left to their parents for the elderly.

And since he bought a microscope, he couldn't help but want to slice everything to see if he could observe it. The various biology books he read before also gave him the urge to do more experiments, so that nothing happened. I just wanted to go to "Experiment Amoy" to see various equipment...and then I was persuaded by the price.

When there is demand, there will naturally be motivation.

However, if the final payment is included in the work I received this time,

The total is only 25,000, which is equivalent to 1.25 yellow-haired wanted criminals.

Of course, he also took less time, and finished it in less than fifteen hours in two days.

If it was replaced by him in the past, even if he did not have a full-time job and focused on doing it, it would take at least 15-20 days to complete it. The efficiency is completely different.

However, he did not hand in the job right away, but still waited for more than ten days.

Until today, he sent all the files including the source code. He believes that with his code readability and commenting habits, he will definitely satisfy the other party. Even if he needs to modify, expand and maintain in the future, even if he is not involved , shouldn't be too difficult.

As for whether the other party would take the things and not pay the balance, Xiang Kun wasn't worried either. They were all people who knew everything, so it was impossible to trick him for more than 20,000 yuan.

At this time, there was a fluttering sound from behind Xiang Kun, and then the canary landed on the table and chirped at him a few times.

Xiang Kun glanced at it, stretched out his index finger and tapped twice on the table in front of it, it chirped twice, and flew back to its cage in the living room with flapping wings.

This is another achievement of Xiang Kun during this period of time. After a lot of time observing and getting along with him, he already knows this canary well.

Xiang Kun could not only tell its intentions from its barking, but also judge its emotional and physical state through its body movements, heartbeat, breathing, and smell when it was not barking.

To put it bluntly, it knows what shit it wants to poop as soon as it sticks its butt, and it knows what dream it has by looking at its sleeping posture.

And Xiang Kun also found a way to communicate with it, by feeding it himself and simulating the "mental shock" of the "giant owl" memory picture, so that it could understand what it wanted it to do.

As a result, it was able to develop the habit of only defecating in a fixed place, and "saying hello" to Xiang Kun every morning after waking up.

Now, as long as Xiang Kun stretched out his arm in front of it and shouted "Come" to it, it would obediently come over and stand on his arm, very obediently.

Just tap the phone screen twice on it, and it will start singing, because Xiang Kun played the sound of it singing on the phone before, to let him understand his intention to want it to sing.

Not only that, Xiang Kun has even started to find other canary singing on the Internet to let it learn...

Of course, in order to understand the bird as much as possible, Xiang Kun spent a lot of effort.

I found a lot of information about canaries and hibiscus birds on the Internet, as well as domestication tutorials. I spent a lot of time observing the various things it does and the various information it gives back from its body when it is in various states. I personally bought various foods that are suitable for it. Make nutritionally balanced bird food, carefully observe its state when it eats various foods, and analyze its favorite taste.

Xiang Kun also went to the bird dealer who sold other birds, and on the grounds that his friend liked that canary very much and wanted to buy a few more, he checked other birds of the same kind that the canary stayed with before, and watched it learn. What happened to the older birds that sang, and privately tracked down the breeder who sold that canary to the bird dealer.

Before going to check these situations, Xiang Kun didn't expect to get any useful information, but after reading it, he found that it was indeed useful.

By looking at the canary's previous living conditions and growth environment, many details can be found, and thus the possible sources of some of the canary's habits can be deduced, and the reasons for its personality formation can be inferred, so as to find more effective communication and communication. training method.

Although the way of thinking of birds is very different from that of humans, the meaning that can be expressed in "bird language" is also very limited, and it is impossible to communicate in detail. But Xiang Kun felt that his communication with it now should not be much worse than other canaries' communication with it. Even in many cases, other canaries might not understand what it wanted to express, but Xiang Kun could understand it all at once.

Basically, after more than half a month, his "strategy" for this canary has been basically completed - he can know its emotions, will and physical state through observation, and successfully predict its behavior with a high probability.

And these experiences can also help him to "raid" other animals and even humans in the future.
