After Death, I Became a Superhuman

"Prayer Meeting?"

Mr. Lou sat at his desk and pushed his glasses up to look at the report projected onto his retina.

"Sky Eye and the Endless Alliance collaborated to take down the Prayer Meeting stronghold and destroy important hideouts. And they also eliminated the Abyssal creatures? Wow, this is quite a big deal."

Li Xiao'an hesitated to speak, but after a while, he couldn't hold it in any longer and said, "Sir, actually, when we mention 'collaboration with the Endless Alliance' in our reports, it's similar to Inspector Lestrade writing 'with the unimportant assistance of the enthusiastic citizen Sherlock Holmes' in his reports when solving major cases."

Mr. Lou looked confused. "What do you mean?"

"It means we handle the grunt work while they do the killing," Tang Wen translated.

This time, Mr. Lou understood. "Oh, I see. I thought we played a crucial role."

But he remained optimistic as always.

"But at least our task force is still active. I just had a meeting the day before yesterday, and the higher-ups specifically praised our Kantu branch. They said we had the highest efficiency and fastest action in dealing with the Shadow Demon wave this time, making us the number one in the East Zone for the past month."

Hahaha, let's keep it up, keep it up."

Tang Wen and Li Xiao'an looked at each other, but no one said a word.

Mr. Lou laughed a couple of times and realized something was off. He looked at them strangely and asked, "What? Did I say something wrong?"

Then he quickly guessed what was going on and opened his mouth wide. "Wait, are they the ones responsible for all those incidents?"

No one said a word, but the understanding in their eyes said it all.

Mr. Lou tried to struggle. "It can't be possible that they did everything, right? We at least handled a small portion of the cases independently, right?"

Another exchange of glances, and then Li Xiao'an spoke up.

"Well, according to last week's report, there was one incident that we handled ourselves." He opened the corresponding report in the mission log and said, "Someone reported hearing strange noises outside their window in the residential area at 34 Mingyang Street. But the person who reported it lived on the 16th floor. So they thought it might be a Shadow Demon invasion.

Coincidentally, one of our agents was passing by within a kilometer, so they were immediately assigned to go to the scene."

Mr. Lou's eyes lit up. "And then he eliminated the Shadow Demon?"

"No, when he arrived, he found someone outside the window, but it wasn't a Shadow Demon. It was the wife of the person who made the report, having an affair. When her lover couldn't hide in time, he had to escape to the window.

Someone in the opposite building filmed a video of the guy standing outside the window with his bare bottom for over half an hour. He looked quite cold."

Mr. Lou: "."

A brief and awkward silence followed.

"Ahem, we believe that the intelligence network of that alliance is too powerful. They detect most abnormal situations faster than us, and sometimes it seems like they can even predict them to some extent."

Tang Wen broke the silence.

"Sometimes it seems like they know before the Shadow Demon appears, and they take control of the scene in advance, keeping the disaster close to zero."

"That's incredible."

Mr. Lou praised and then made a joke.

"At least it has reduced our workload. I guess you must have had a lot of free time recently, right?"

Tang Wen sighed. "There's always a lot of paperwork and trivial matters. Besides, the Hai Ming Town branch has reported a shortage of manpower these past two days. It's originally a small branch with only two Transcendents stationed there, so the higher-ups asked if we could spare some manpower if we have any free time.

I've been busy with this for the past two days. But honestly, there's no leisure time in this position. You may not feel it, but it's like running a huge company where every aspect needs to be taken care of. As long as it's still running, there's no room for relaxation."

Mr. Lou shrugged.

"It's different from running a company." He expressed a different opinion. "In a company, you manage a department, and if you make a mistake, you'll be fired.

But here, if you make a mistake, I'll be fired."

Li Xiao'an couldn't help but chuckle, and both of them looked at him.

"Ah, sorry, I apologize, sir."

Li Xiao'an's smile disappeared immediately.

But the corners of his mouth couldn't help but keep pulling upwards.

It seemed like he couldn't hold it in.

"Anyway, we owe them a lot." Mr. Lou changed the topic. "The Endless Alliance, no matter who they are or where they come from, they have indeed helped us a great deal, especially in this era."

As he spoke, a hint of longing appeared on his face.

"A group of great people, willing to dedicate themselves and share their talents with the world without expecting anything in return. Don't you think that's noble, Tang Wen?"

"Well, I think so, sir."

"Then maybe we should show our gratitude?"

Tang Wen raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

"Anything will do." Mr. Lou rubbed his hands together. "Although they don't ask for anything in return, we can't always let them do the grunt work, right? It's like when someone helps you, even if you don't have to be indebted to them, it's still impolite not to show some gratitude, right?""What you said makes sense," Tang Wen pondered, "but I'm afraid ordinary gifts won't catch their attention. Their power is unimaginable, and money is definitely not something they would be interested in."

"It's about human sentiment, Tang Wen," Mr. Lou tapped his fingers on the table, "the key is not how we show our capabilities, but whether we have the intention."

"At least let others know that we truly appreciate their help, right?"

Tang Wen thought for a moment and nodded slightly, "You're right, sir."

He took a step back, "Then I'll go ask someone. Maybe our experts have compiled some information about the Transcendent system, or we can see if there's anything useful among the Transcendent materials, weapons, and plants we have discovered so far."

"Go ahead, go ahead."

Mr. Lou nodded and then remembered something, calling him back.

"Wait, do we know how to contact them?" Mr. Lou asked, "Obviously, we haven't exchanged phone numbers. We can't just shine a searchlight on the rooftop and draw an 'S' on it, can we?"

"That's a creative idea, sir. But we can try a more direct approach first."

"What?"

"Leave a message in their comment section."

Tang Wen smiled and left the room.

"Jiang~Bei~!"

Xiao Qi's voice echoed in Jiang Bei's ears through the screen, making his head buzz.

Jiang Bei passed through the one-way door in the hall and arrived at the underground of the base. The underground floor of this base is currently not open to any other members, only Xiao Dou Ding has a room here.

Xiao Qi liked to go and play with Xiao Dou Ding from time to time these days.

When Jiang Bei arrived, he only saw an angry superhuman girl and a panda cub holding its head in distress.

Jiang Bei: "?"

"It... it stole my cookies!" Xiao Qi's cheeks puffed up in anger, as if she was about to shoot lasers without saying a word.

Xiao Dou Ding was scared and quickly hid behind Jiang Bei, trembling.

"Oh, it's just cookies." Jiang Bei felt relieved when he heard that, and smiled, "It's okay, we still have money to buy cookies. After eating, we can buy a few more boxes or even trucks. Take your time."

Xiao Dou Ding was moved to tears and hugged Jiang Bei's thigh. In his little heart, he thought that the male owner was indeed better, while the female owner was stingy and scary.

He secretly thought that she wouldn't find out, right?

After hearing his words, the red light in Xiao Qi's eyes disappeared, and she pouted, saying, "But it eats too much."

"It's okay, we're not short of money now. It's fine to eat as much as it wants." Jiang Bei laughed, "How much money can eating cost?"

"But it eats everything, bamboo shoots, cooked food, snacks, and even iron. It eats all kinds of metal minerals and composite materials." Xiao Qi said.

"It's okay, it can eat whatever it wants. It's in the stage of growing, and its demand is relatively high. If it doesn't eat well, it will affect its development and future growth potential. It's best to let it gnaw on Transcendent metal, which will significantly enhance its strength and help it acquire Transcendent attributes."

Jiang Bei quickly opened this month's bill and quickly found Xiao Dou Ding's food expenses by searching through the expenditure category.

He quickly scanned the long list of numbers, tens, hundreds, thousands, millions.

The further he went, the darker Jiang Bei's face became, and it became so gloomy that it seemed like water would drip out.

Then he turned his head and looked at Xiao Dou Ding, who was hugging his thigh.

Should he send it?

Although it was still a beginner, with its ability to grow bigger, harder, and more powerful, the group of new recruits who had just advanced to Transcendent would not stand a chance against it. Ordinary Shadow Demons and Cunning Beasts were not enough for Xiao Dou Ding.

And then, our alliance members would go all the way to support the front line, and it wouldn't be too much for Sky Eye to provide food and accommodation for you, right?

Thinking of this, Jiang Bei showed a relieved smile, and his gaze towards Xiao Dou Ding became softer.

Xiao Dou Ding didn't know what had happened, but felt that the male owner seemed to have calmed down. So it cleverly approached and rubbed against his leg, showing that it was well-behaved.

Jiang Bei gently stroked its fluffy head.

Little one, you have to make sure we get our money's worth on this trip."Oh, by the way, there might be something you'd be interested in the new mission report," Xiao Qi reminded.

"Oh? What's it about?" Jiang Bei asked.

"Well, I only skimmed through it without paying much attention. But I remember it mentioned something about a ship at sea encountering a storm, the sailors experiencing some sort of mental issue, and some indescribable horror. Oh, it also seemed to have something to do with a giant octopus?"

Jiang Bei: "?"
