After Death, I Became a Superhuman-Chapter 78 – I also want
The next day, early morning.
"Jiang Bei~ Jiang Bei~"
Jiang Bei lay in bed, awakened by a distant voice as if from the other end of the world. In a half-asleep state, he could only smell a pleasant faint fragrance and feel something soft on his body.
Opening his eyes, he saw a golden-haired superhuman beauty sitting on him in a duck-like posture, shaking his pajamas.
Suddenly, this scene seemed familiar.
Jiang Bei rubbed his nose bridge. "Don't tell me we just came back from the Border Station again, because I have no recollection at all..."
"You said you would teach me how to cook today." Xiao Qi puffed up her tender cheeks.
"...Ah, right, there's that."
Jiang Bei remembered. It seemed that when they ordered takeaway yesterday, he casually mentioned that these dishes could actually be made at home. Xiao Qi was surprised to hear this and clung to his arm, insisting that he teach her how to cook.
So Jiang Bei agreed without much thought.
Then, the invasion of the Shadow Demon from the Abyss Gate happened.
Jiang Bei basically single-handedly reversed the situation and ended the battle. His heat vision cleared the screen, and after returning, he felt a sense of emptiness in his kidneys. He came home and went straight to bed, almost forgetting about this.
"Uh, okay, wait for me to get up... and can you get off me first?"
"..."
Jiang Bei got up, washed up, and opened the light curtain. A new video had been released under his alliance account, once again causing a wave of excitement. Almost all media outlets were reporting on this invasion, and the focus naturally revolved around the "superhuman" and his even more extraordinary power displayed in this battle.
The comments on video websites and forums were also exploding.
"He used heat vision! I knew he must be a real superhuman!"

"Wow, one person is like an army, awesome!"
"So cool!"
"Hahaha, I bet the invaders would be scared if they saw this..."
"..."
Hmm, the response is pretty good. However, the rate at which the treasury value is increasing has slowed down compared to yesterday. It seems that those directly affected by the scene are the ones who can generate the fuel called hope. Even though those who watched the video may feel shocked or grateful to Superman and the alliance, they didn't directly receive any help, so their contributions to the treasury value, although present, are not significant.
"Jiang Bei~ Hurry up, did you fall into the toilet?" Xiao Qi urged from outside.
"I'm coming, I'm coming."
Jiang Bei closed the light curtain and left the bathroom. Fortunately, the dimensional door leading to the alliance hall could be activated and canceled at any time, otherwise it would be troublesome to not even have a toilet at home.
Actually, Jiang Bei was not very skilled in cooking. He only knew how to make a couple of simple dishes, and it had been many years since he last cooked.
But it shouldn't be a problem. As the saying goes, the master leads the way, and the practice is up to the individual. He was only responsible for showing Xiao Qi the way, and the rest would be up to her to comprehend. Maybe she wouldn't need to order takeaway anymore once she officially started cooking.
Eating too much takeaway isn't good, it's better to eat at home.
Jiang Bei said that it's impossible for him to cook. He will never cook in his life. Now, he's just demonstrating and teaching her through his actions. In the future, she will be in charge of cooking.
All of this is for his own future happiness.
"First, heat the oil in the pan, then add the vegetables." Jiang Bei demonstrated while introducing, "Oh, right, this is called oil, this is salt. This is MSG, it can enhance the flavor of the ingredients.
And this is soy sauce... Wait, what are you doing?"
Xiao Qi held a bag of MSG that was already half empty and tilted her head. "Enhancing the flavor."
"What you're doing is not enhancing the flavor, it's murder. It's already a deadly amount, it will make you dumb... Oh, wait, you're Superman, so it's fine. But I still suggest you eat less..."
"Oh." Xiao Qi obediently put down the MSG, with a humble and inquisitive look.
"..."
"...Now, let's make a fish-flavored eggplant. Wait a moment, I need to check the recipe."
Jiang Bei operated while comparing the Baidu search results on the light curtain.
"Let me see, we should heat the oil first. High heat, probably about 60% heat..."
Bang!
Jiang Bei turned his head to the suddenly exploding frying pan, looking confused.
No, I haven't even turned on the heat yet?
Although he now had a steel body and was not afraid of hot oil or fire, his face was still blasted into a black bear-like limited edition skin.
Then he turned his head to Xiao Qi.
"Did you just heat the oil with your heat vision?"
"No."
Xiao Qi looked out the window, gazing at the scenery.
After being stared at by Jiang Bei in silence for a few seconds, she silently lowered her head.
"...Okay, I'm sorry."
...
...
The scorching heat vision beam swept across the huge spliced screen, cutting the Shadow Demons in half and piercing through the Cunning Beasts. Even the mist behind them was shattered as if it were crumbling, and the distortion of space disappeared without a trace under this attack.
The scene paused, freezing Jiang Bei floating in mid-air, the moment when his heat vision swept across the entire field.
Mr. Lou held his chin, watching this scene repeatedly for who knows how many times, but he couldn't help but exclaim, "This is truly... unbelievable.""Did he know this trick before?"
"Based on the records of his previous appearances, no." Tang Wen stood beside him and said, "But it's also possible that he just didn't think he had encountered a situation where it was necessary. Because this is like using a cannon to kill a mosquito, it might be simply unnecessary for a superhuman..."
"Uh, sorry, sir." Li Xiao'an spoke up weakly, "But this analogy is not entirely appropriate. Because it's actually very likely that a cannon can't kill a mosquito, as you know, mosquitoes are very small and agile, and a cannon doesn't have the precision to hit them.
So maybe the analogy of 'using a sledgehammer to crack a nut' would be slightly more appropriate here..."
Tang Wen and Mr. Lou both gave him a strange look.
Li Xiao'an shrank back: "Just saying..."
"Anyway, our understanding of this 'Superman' type Extraordinary Being needs to be updated... Damn, he's not really 'that' Superman, is he?"
"Impossible." Tang Wen shook his head firmly, "Just an Extraordinary Being with similar abilities. The Transcendent is not a whimsical comic, it doesn't just come as it pleases. Even evolution has its limits..."
Mr. Lou gestured at the scene in the picture where a single sweep of the army was taking place, as if silently asking "how do you explain this". Tang Wen opened his mouth, looked at the screen, and said nothing.
Indeed, sweeping through an army at a glance, no matter how you put it, was too outrageous.
Especially those who were actually on the scene at the time could feel the unprecedented shock. It was almost divine, almost beyond the concept of "Extraordinary Being"... or at least their known category.
This also brought up a question for many people in the department. Can the so-called Transcendent really go this far?
"People always like to believe too much in what they know." Mr. Lou said, "Modern science helps us better understand the world, but it also becomes a shackle. We believe too much in the laws we have summarized, but we refuse to accept things that these laws cannot explain."
Tang Wen remained silent.
Indeed. Their current understanding of the Transcendent is not deep enough, to deny the unknown would be too arbitrary... even if it's as outrageous as Superman.
"I heard that other members of the alliance were involved this time?" Mr. Lou asked.
"Yes." Tang Wen said, "There was a member wearing an Extraordinary exoskeleton armor, which was equipped with mini freezing missiles that visually had the power equivalent to a B-series freezing ability, and a powerful Extraordinary pulse energy gun."
"I remember it was said that the exoskeleton used by the Extraordinary is still in the development stage? It's currently not suitable for actual combat?"
"Yes. It seems that the Endless Alliance already has such technology, many of the technologies and weapons on that equipment are beyond our current understanding."
Tang Wen paused, then continued.
"The alliance also sent a medical Extraordinary Being this time. She played a very important role in the battle, many soldiers from the Long River branch who received her treatment said that it was outstanding, even... uh... had some additional effects."
It was clear that the battle at Yingge Town did not completely vent the excessive energy of those soldiers after being healed. Many people still felt hard after returning, feeling like they were in their prime.
It was said that this healing not only replenished blood and vitality but also had the effect of clearing hidden diseases and prolonging life, but these were long-term benefits and not very noticeable in the short term.
The most direct benefit seemed to be that the marital relations of the agents in the Long River branch significantly improved after the battle at Yingge Town.
"Hold on, let me interrupt."
Mr. Lou's eyes lit up when he heard the report.
"Who is this girl from the alliance? Do you have her contact information? Can you ask her to give me a shot?"
Tang Wen: "......"
Before he could say anything, Li Xiao'an weakly spoke up again: "I also..."
Tang Wen gave him a blank look, and Li Xiao'an immediately shrank back.
"......Never mind, it's nothing."
