What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Chapter Twelve Blind Date (Part 1)

Today is July 20, the eighteenth day of the sixth lunar month, and the moon is still big and round.

And the weather was good, with almost no cloud cover. Under the hazy moonlight, the whole city seemed to have a filter added, which seemed to have a special artistic conception.

Xiang Kun really felt that under the moonlight outside, his physical condition seemed to be slightly better than when he was indoors at the same time.

Of course, this difference is so small that it is almost negligible compared to the difference between day and night.

He even doubted whether the difference was simply because the air outside was better and the oxygen content was higher.

However, Xiang Kun still had a very strange feeling. When he closed his eyes, he could vaguely feel the moonlight shining on him.

This is a feeling that cannot be described in words. When you are in the sun, you can feel the sun shining on your body because the heat of the sun can make the skin feel the temperature increase, so you can feel the sun.

But the moonlight is different. The moonlight does not have such a strong heat. Generally speaking, if you don't look at it with your eyes, it is difficult to feel that you are being illuminated by the moonlight.

Xiang Kun has been thinking about where the energy he consumes comes from recently, not only the consumption during daily actions, he always feels that it is not just the chicken blood and rabbit blood.

And the difference in my state between day and night should be one of the keys.

Xiang Kun knew that moonlight also came from sunlight, but it was still fundamentally different from sunlight.

The surface of the moon is uneven, so after the sun shines on the moon, it is not pure mirror reflection. Most of the sunlight and heat are absorbed by the moon, and then radiated out by itself.

Or would his mutated body react differently to moonlight?

Xiang Kun closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and kept his body relaxed. Then he found that his hearing seemed to have improved significantly.

Hearing the whirring wind and various noises from far and near upstairs, he could clearly catch the whispering whispers of the young couple in another corner of the rooftop.

Although he couldn't hear very clearly, he could only hear a few sentences intermittently and faintly, but this already surprised Xiang Kun.

Eyes opened, closed again, opened again.

Soon Xiang Kun realized that it wasn't that his hearing soared when he closed his eyes, but that he could only notice how strong his hearing was after he closed his eyes.

In fact, if he focused and listened carefully, whether he closed his eyes or not, he could hear the buzzing of the young couple.

In other words, it is very likely that after drinking blood for the second time, his hearing has greatly improved.

It's just that before, he didn't feel too obvious, the improvement of eyesight attracted almost all of his attention in terms of senses. When taking action on weekdays, it also relies more on vision than hearing.

Naturally, Xiang Kun also thought about whether to carry out targeted training on hearing before drinking blood next time, and see if there is any improvement at that time.

But considering tomorrow's appointment and worrying about drinking blood in advance, the training in this area can only be temporarily postponed.

Without staying on the rooftop for too long, Xiang Kun went back to his room, read various materials in front of the computer, and waited for dawn.

When it was almost half past five, the sky shone with a ray of light. As expected, Xiang Kun felt a significant decline in physical function, and his spirit was not as uplifting as it was at night.

At this time, he happened to be watching the content related to tidal force, and he couldn't help thinking, maybe X is related to the tidal force of the moon on the earth?

Sea water will be affected by tidal forces, and human blood is also a liquid, so it will naturally be affected to some extent. Of course, this kind of influence is so slight to ordinary people that they can't feel it at all.

Or, when his body is affected by unknown X-factor,

After a series of changes, will it be more sensitive to changes in these force fields and magnetic fields?

However, this guess was quickly denied by him. The tidal force on the earth does not only come from the moon, the sun also contributes, and the magnitude of the tidal force has no obvious direct relationship with the day and night transition.

Zhengsi frowned and thought about it, looking through the window, watching the sun slowly covering the street outside, Xiang Kun was startled suddenly, and murmured: "Maybe it's not the night that brings any bonus, but that after sunrise brought inhibition?"

...

After one o'clock in the afternoon, Xiang Kun put on his peaked cap and went out to the coffee shop where he had an appointment with the girl.

Arriving at the coffee shop, after ordering a drink, Xiang Kun found a corner seat and sat down, then took advantage of going to the self-service counter to get a tissue, poured out all the drink in the cup, and refilled the cup with the kettle at the self-service counter Full, and then returned to the seat.

Looking at the time, it was just over two o'clock, and the appointment time between him and the girl was three o'clock.

He wasn't in a hurry, he just sat in the corner and flipped through the information on the Internet with his mobile phone.

If it was in the past, before meeting the blind date, he must first prepare the topics to be discussed during the meeting, judge the possible personality and interests of the other party based on the information at hand, and arrange the possible next itinerary, prepare a few plan.

But now he really doesn't have any plans to fall in love or communicate with others. What he wants is to end this blind date as soon as possible without offending others or making it difficult for Chang Bin, so naturally there is no need to think about it.

Xiang Kun's attention was still on the changes in his body.

This morning's idea that certain factors after sunrise have caused a certain degree of inhibition to his bodily functions needs further verification.

Sunrise is without a doubt a very clear cutoff, so sunlight is definitely one of the factors to consider.

But when the sun rose these days, he was basically indoors and was not exposed to the sun. If the temperature increased, there should be a slow process, and it would not just be at that critical point.

Xiang Kun speculated that it might be related to the change of the earth's magnetic field at sunrise. His body sensed this change, and would trigger some adjustment mechanism similar to a biological clock, and begin to suppress his own body functions to reduce consumption to a certain level. kind of balance?

While he was thinking, there was a new message on WeChat, and the girl had also arrived, asking Xiang Kun what he wanted to drink, so she ordered first.

Looking at the time, it was 2:41 in the afternoon, the girl came very early.

Xiang Kun looked up into the store, and it happened that a girl had just walked into the store. Although, as Chang Bin said, "very cute and beautiful", he was not sure if she was the one for this blind date.

Because this girl in denim shorts, a white T-shirt, double ponytails, and big round-frame glasses looks too young, perhaps in her twenties?
