After Death, I Became a Superhuman

Chapter 39 – Mechanical Affinity



In general, this financial function is awesome, and there are many ways to make a fortune with this thing.

Moreover, there is a shortage of personnel in the organization now, and Jiang Bei, as the boss, has to do many things himself. So the responsibility of the financial manager has to fall on his own shoulders.

At the same time, as the boss and the financial manager, he thought that it wouldn't be a problem to take a little kickback for himself.

Xiao Qi, who had just finished eating, was busy in the living room, not knowing what she was doing. After a while, she ran over.

"Jiang Bei, look, look!"

Jiang Bei looked up and was stunned.

He saw a girl leaning against the door, with cute pink long hair, lively deep red eyes that seemed to speak, fair and cute facial features with soft lines, and a face that looked innocent and obedient.

She was wearing a red uniform that was rarely seen in the three-dimensional world. It was split in the middle, revealing her white flat stomach. It seemed to be designed very delicately, dividing the northern and southern hemispheres, leaving only half of each side, as if it had drawn a boundary line in those indescribable areas.

Her almost perfect long legs were wrapped in black knee-high boots, and her fiery red sleeves fluttered like dancing petals.

It made people feel that the designer of this uniform was absolutely amazing, constantly testing the boundaries between sexy and conservative, even blurring the line. It perfectly balanced between revealing and not revealing. If there was a ranking for revealing clothes, this designer would definitely be in the top tier.

Then Jiang Bei seemed to recognize her.

Isn't this... the female protagonist Yegui Qi from "Guilty Crown"? It's an old anime, and he almost doesn't remember anything except for the famous scene of "My King's Power.JPG".

But to be honest, the uniform is really on point...

"Does it look like her?" Xiao Qi couldn't wait and spun around, her belt floating in the air.

"To be honest?" Jiang Bei pondered, "Not really."

"Huh?" Xiao Qi lowered her head and checked her outfit, feeling a bit disappointed, "I thought it was quite accurate..."

"It's not about that, it's just that you're too big..."

Jiang Bei felt that even though Guilty Crown was an old anime and he couldn't remember it clearly, he didn't want to be fooled. Yeqi Mei was obviously an A-cup, but you went for a D-cup in this damn outfit?

Xiao Qi compared her figure and fell into deep thought.

"It seems to make sense." She said dejectedly, "But they can't fit in my pockets..."

"Ahem..." Jiang Bei almost choked and waved his hand, "No, don't take it seriously, I was just joking. Actually, you look great, just like in the animation, really... a bit too much even."

"Really?"

Xiao Qi's face lit up with joy. She spun in place, repeatedly looking at herself with her head down, looking more and more intoxicated, like a proud swan.

But Jiang Bei estimated that from her first-person perspective with her head down, she probably couldn't see her toes.

He turned his head back to the crystal ball in the hall. He opened the projection screen and accessed the interface of the alliance members.

Now he was no longer just a figurehead. Two names were added below the leader position, She Miao and Wang Hongfei.

General Wang, who had passed the system evaluation, had now obtained the entry quota. Moreover, this guy was quite generous, directly donating a building to the Endless Alliance as a pledge.

It was a warehouse building located in the suburbs of Kantu City. According to their company's original plan, it was supposed to be used for logistics storage, but the plan was terminated due to some obstacles encountered in the subsequent development. Since then, the warehouse has been idle.

Obviously, Wang Hongfei found a better use for it than commercial transformation. After he proposed this idea, Jiang Bei thought about it briefly and agreed.

For now, it didn't matter that the alliance only had a few members. But when it developed to the later stage, some strongholds and branches would be necessary.

Currently, he didn't plan to put other members into the Endless Hall, so it wouldn't hurt to set up some other facilities.

For example, building a Avengers Tower in the city center, or even considering a space station observatory on the orbit in the future...

Not long ago, Wang Hongfei also took an awakening drug and officially broke through to the Transcendent level. This big shot might have never experienced such a high before in his lifetime. After consuming a small bottle, he felt refreshed and energetic, even his endurance seemed to have increased.

Under the excitement, he donated 20 million directly to the alliance without any doubt about its strength.

Jiang Bei's background was not very good, and his family was not wealthy. He was just a programmer before, and he had only been in the industry for a short time after graduating. To be honest, he had never seen so much money in his life.

But even though he was happy, he didn't forget that this was the alliance's funds. Although he basically represented the government in the current situation of the alliance, and it was okay to spend it, he felt that as an upright leader and a principled good young man, he should consider the future of the organization.

...At least leave half of it.

Not to mention anything else, at least Xiao Qi wouldn't have to eat instant noodles anymore.

Following this awakening, Jiang Bei also found the description of the awakening talent under Wang Hongfei's name.

[Mechanical Affinity], a mechanical technology-type awakening talent.

The specific description was just this much. Jiang Bei was a little confused, so he turned to the all-knowing Xiao Qi for inquiries.

"Um, let me see," Xiao Qi frowned and looked at the projection screen, "It means this. It's a talent for mechanical affinity, what's wrong?"

"So, is this also a superpower?"

"Yes." Xiao Qi suddenly realized, "Oh, don't tell me you think that being 'Transcendent' must be some kind of physical mutation, elemental control, or strength enhancement?"

"Um... isn't it?"

"Technology, of course there is a 'Transcendent Technology' system in the Transcendent system. There are predecessors in the alliance who have it. The types of awakening abilities are the control and development of Transcendent technology, with the ability to quickly comprehend and develop Transcendent mechanical products.""He has created an invincible armor for himself, designed an army of machines capable of sweeping thousands, and weapons to deal with all kinds of Transcendent sequences..."

Jiang Bei suddenly understood, "I see. So, those who are into technology can also awaken, right?"

It was somewhat like the tech tree model in a superhero worldview. Normally, the technological development of a world is gradual, with generations of geniuses in academia working hard to gradually advance the overall level of a certain technology.

But the Transcendent world, like Marvel, is different. In such a world, a very few tech giants often possess technology that is a century or even more ahead of the rest of the world, and they can drive the world's technological progress with their own power.

In the definition of the Endless Hall, this is obviously also a kind of Transcendence, a talent that ordinary people could never have, just like the superpowers of flying and earth escape.

There is a saying that the poor rely on mutation and the rich rely on technology, but in the current situation, it seems that even if you rely on technology, you have to mutate first...

"Oh, there's one more thing." Xiao Qi seemed to remember something.

"What?"

"I heard that this kind of Transcendence is particularly expensive."

Jiang Bei: "..."

...

...

Elsewhere, in the secret organization "Electronic Wizard", at an unknown base.

"Zero has been killed." A gloomy voice sounded, "I went to the scene, there's nothing left. Dr. Claude's base has also been uprooted, they failed."

"So, the God-making plan for the electric Transcendent is cancelled?" Someone responded.

"Yes. The higher-ups have long thought that the project was unreliable, and there were many disputes within the organization. Now that this has happened, the project is destined to be abandoned."

After a pause, the gloomy voice continued, "The focus is not here, but on that 'Superman', that Endless Alliance... You all saw what they can do."@@novelbin@@

"We can't go on like this." Someone said irritably, "This is our area. Regardless of whether the project is reliable or not, it was a huge investment. Such a large base was destroyed, if we can't handle it properly, someone will be held accountable."

"But you've seen the video, right? That 'Superman', did you see how he punched? Zero was damn turned into a skyrocketing monkey by him! What do you think we should do? Should we go and beg him to apologize?"

"But we must take action! Otherwise, when the headquarters comes to hold someone accountable, who will take the responsibility?"

There was a brief and eerie silence in the room.

Then the gloomy voice sounded again.

"...I disliked his video."

"..."
