Chapter 321: Chapter 321: Not Full After Dinner
Translator: 549690339
Xia Libing let Xiang Kun sit at the side of the dining table, and then went to her room to fetch her laptop and a black softcover notebook.
âThe child in the dream and the âco-manifestedâ cake and pork knuckle exhibit several differences,â Xia Libing began after taking a seat opposite Xiang Kun. âFirstly, the sensation during co-manifestation in the dream is different, it lacks the sense of dominance comparable to when the cake and pork knuckle were manifested; control varies.
âSecondly, the cake and pork knuckle emerged in response to the emotions in the dream, the child didnât;
âThirdly, the ability I possess upon waking up from the dream, I believe itâs still insufficient to âco-manifestâ the child.â
Although it was only a nickname, hearing Old Xia refer to her youthful figure in the dream as the âchild,â it felt somewhat odd to Xiang Kun.
However, if not âchild,â what other suitable nickname could there be? âLittle Xia?â âTiny Xiaâ? It couldnât possibly be âtoddler Old Xiaâ like his, right?
Mulling over Old Xiaâs words, Xiang Kun asked, âBy your logic, even if the âability to controlâ is sufficient, it doesnât necessarily imply being able to co-create the âchildâ, does it?â
âRight,â Xia Libing nodded in confirmation, âFrom my perspective, that is the case.â
âCould you elaborate on the âability to controlâ you mentioned? Are you referring to the coins I gave you?â Xiang Kun enquired.
Xia Libing put her laptop aside, then lined up the nine coins Xiang Kun gave her in the middle of the table in three rows of 3X3; it looked neat.
âDo you have any coins on you right now?â she asked after arranging the coins.

Xiang Kun took out a ball and placed it on the table: âThis has the same effect as the coins.â He had previously explained the process of establishing âsuper sensory contactâ to Old Xia, so naturally, Old Xia knew there wouldnât be any essential difference between the ball used to establish âsuper sensory contactâ and the coins.
Xia Libing took the ball, observed it in her palm for a while, then unfolded a napkin on the table and placed the ball on it to prevent it from rolling.
Next, she stared at the side of the table nearer to Xiang Kun, and a Napoleon Cake appeared a few seconds later.
With just a glance, Xiang Kun realized that this Napoleon Cake differed slightly from the one Old Xia âco-manifestedâ during lunch.
He slowly picked up the cake, observed it for a while, sniffed it, and said, âIt is indeed somewhat different, the details are more ârich,â is it due to the additional six coins I can control?â
âAfter the cake disappeared, Xia Libing said, âI tried it last night, before going to bed, during âco-manifestation,â only three coins could be connected, after waking up, I could use nine coins.â
As she spoke, she pointed to the ball on the napkin, âI can sense it but I canât tap into its power for now.â
Xiang Kun understood her point. In other words, for Old Xia to utilize âsuper-connected objectsâ to âco-manifestâ dream objects in reality, she needs to first project these âsuper-connected objectsâ into the dreamland and establish a deeper connection. Only by using these âsuper-connected objectsâ to co-manifest an object in the dreamland, and upon waking up from that dream, can she âinvokeâ the power of these âsuper-connected objectsâ to co-manifest in reality.
Indeed, just as Xiang Kun felt only the nine coins invoking his power and not the newly given ball when Old Xia âco-manifestedâ the cake.
Xia Libing continued: âI didnât specifically âconstructâ an object through the âabilityâ brought by these coins, the process of âco-manifestingâ the cake and the pork knuckle, was more like establishing a channel through the power of the coins, and âinvitingâ the cake and pork knuckle into reality. The coins are the intermediaries for the co-manifested objects, and I am the intermediary for the coins.â
Xiang Kun nodded thoughtfully, comprehending Old Xiaâs words. freÄnovelkiss.com
This means that although the source of Old Xiaâs âIllusion Realityâ ability comes from the coins that Xiang Kun super-sensory-connected with, to utilize them to realize âIllusion Reality,â they first need to be âimportedâ and âprojectedâ into the dreamland, then their projected power should be utilized to construct objects within the dream. Only after waking up can she employ the âsuper-connected objectsâ to âco-manifestâ objects that were previously constructed in the dreamland.
Old Xiaâs dreamland, just as Xiang Kun previously assumed, has become a system in itself, a fresh âsuper-connected objectâ that needs to establish a connection with her, has to first be âformattedâ in the dream?
And using the projections of these âsuper-connected objectsâ within the dream to construct objects, itâs like programming these âdevicesâ, and after returning to reality, she could only run the programs âcompiledâ in the dreamland.
As for the âLittle Old Xiaâ that appeared in the dream, it was considered an âadvanced programâ that the equipment couldnât support. It failed to run and couldnât even be installed.
Of course, this was Xiang Kunâs thought process from the perspective of applying âSuper-Connected Objectsâ.
If one were to consider Old Xiaâs just-accomplished description, her abilitiesâgained through these âSuper-Connected Objectsââplayed a role of a door or a bridge during their âco-manifestationâ, beckoning out the items from her dreams.
Would that mean that the dream she had before wouldnât completely disappear once she woke up?
âI want to confirm this again,â Xia Libing said out loud, explaining why she had called Xiang Kun.
Xiang Kun nodded, âOkay.â Then he added, âAfter entering your dream this time, try eating the Napoleon Cake and the Crispy Pigâs Elbow youâve created. Then, use âSuper-Connected Objectsâ to build more things. You can start with something simple, as for what exactly, thatâs up to you.â
Xia Libing understood his intentions. She nodded, got up and collected the nine coins and the marble into her room. She removed her ponytail, let her hair loose and laid down on the bed to sleep.
Xiang Kun sat at the dining table in the living room. He flipped through the black, soft cover notebook that Old Xia had left on the table. He looked at the simple stick figures, the owl, and the spider drawn on it.
âOld Xiaâs drawing skills⊠arenât really that greatâŠâ Xiang Kun couldnât help but mutter.
He didnât immediately try to sense the pair of chopsticks that were placed by Xia Libingâs pillow. As long as he was in the same house, even if Xia Libing was in the bedroom and he was in the living room, he could still clearly tell whether Xia Libing was asleep through various sensory information.
Five minutes passed by.
Ten minutes passed by.
Fifteen minutes passed byâŠ
Xiang Kun couldnât help but ask, âOld Xia, are you unable to sleep?â
The sound of Old Xia sitting up in bed came from the bedroom. She came out and looked at Xiang Kun, âI might not have eaten enough at night.â
Xiang Kun naturally understood her meaning, so he got up and went into the kitchen to search for the ingredients left over from the lunch he had cooked earlier in the day.
Meanwhile, in another city hundreds of kilometers away.
Li Sheng bid farewell to a female colleague, his brother Li Yang, and his niece Li Jun at their doorstep, then walked to the car park in the community to drive.
As a detective, Li Sheng had also been on duty the previous night, the New Yearâs Eve. He had no time to rest, let alone celebrate the holiday at his brotherâs home.
Today, he finally had some free time, so he brought his female colleague, with whom he was almost confirmed to be dating, to have dinner together.
After dinner, he needed to rush back to the station.
The female colleague didnât look particularly beautiful. She had a conspicuous scar on her forehead, and she didnât wear much makeup. Yet, she was tall and carried an air of heroic spirit. Standing next to the studious, glasses-wearing Li Sheng, they made quite a couple.
âLiu Ying, what do you think of my brother? Heâs a good person, isnât he?â In the car, as he started the engine, Li Sheng said with a smile.
The policewoman named Liu Ying nodded, âProfessor Li has profound knowledge, and he is also interesting and humorous. Itâs indeed enjoyable to chat with him. I wish I could chat for more time if not for the necessity to return to the station. However⊠the one that left me the deeper impression is still your niece, Xiao Pingguo.â
