Chapter 111 – Completely fearless
Jiang Bei woke up at seven in the morning and spent the morning in the hall.
After waking up, he first did morning exercises and sparred with the Teletubbies for an hour. He quickly took a shower, had breakfast, and responded to two different calls for help from different regions, completing two missions. The rest of the time was spent on member and equipment planning.
The contribution value system was indeed effective, as it greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of the members to increase their treasury value. Whether it was the dazzling locked transcendent skill trees in the quantum conversion field or the powerful equipment and potions constantly being added to the inventory, they were all irresistible temptations for ordinary people.
Noble ideals were necessary, and the torch of salvation had to be lit. However, without a more pure and direct desire driving them, passion would always burn out.
Such a mechanism could effectively ensure the healthy operation of the organization.
Jiang Bei categorized the current equipment and potions, removing some useless scientific byproducts.
For example, the invisibility goggles. Initially, he thought that wearing them would make him invisible, but he soon realized that it actually made others invisible to him. It was a pure byproduct of some other research project, and its original purpose was probably for other products. Even Wang Hongfei, the author himself, probably couldn't figure out its usefulness.
He removed similar completely useless things and selected some equipment and crops that had superior alternatives. These were considered transcendent equipment that their own people might never need, but since the development funds had already been invested, it felt like a waste to leave them in the warehouse.
So he decided to consider giving them to the Sky Eye Society as the first batch of goods, in order to earn some extra money for the organization.
The Sky Eye Society was truly wealthy, and General Wang paled in comparison to them. However, they were particularly enthusiastic about transcendent development but lacked direction, so they would definitely be interested in these things.
It took more than an hour to select the first batch of goods. However, Jiang Bei temporarily closed the interface and rubbed his nose.
There must be a certain way to do this business. The specific trading process was regulated by the alliance system, so he didn't need to worry about delivering the goods through the void. But there still needed to be someone to negotiate the deal.
He himself was definitely not suitable for directly dealing with these matters. In the alliance, General Wang was the one who was good at business negotiations. Perhaps he should assign him a task and pull him out of the laboratory to discuss cooperation.
【You have received a new delivery, please check it.】
It was a delivery from the alliance's finance department, directly sent to the hall.
Jiang Bei hadn't bought anything these past two days, so he guessed it must be a delivery from Xiao Qi. Out of curiosity, he went to take a look. To his surprise, it was ingredients and kitchenware.
Since he had taught her how to cook, he had noticed that she had been watching a lot of videos about food and cooking these past two days, showing great interest.
She eagerly opened the package and a small card fell out. She curiously picked it up and saw a QR code and some small words on it.
It roughly said that opening a new store was not easy and asked for collections and good reviews. If there were written reviews with pictures, it would be even better. Scanning the QR code and adding the friend could get a 5 yuan red envelope.
They also included a small frying pan.
Xiao Qi was deeply moved and hurriedly pulled Jiang Bei over to ask.
"The store is giving away things and also giving red envelopes, won't they be losing money?"
Jiang Bei chuckled and patiently explained to her, "The store won't lose money, it's all part of the marketing strategy."
Explaining marketing strategies would take too long, and Jiang Bei didn't know the details since he had never opened a store before. He just briefly mentioned it. Xiao Qi seemed to understand but not really, so she nodded and stepped aside.
But soon, Jiang Bei saw her writing a long review and seriously taking pictures to post a good review for the store.
However, she didn't receive any income message, so Jiang Bei reminded her, "The red envelope?"
"Oh, forget it." Xiao Qi continued to unpack the package and shook her head. "It seems like opening a store is quite difficult. Let's not bother."
Jiang Bei: "."
She was so innocent and easy to deceive.
But Jiang Bei let her be. It was just 5 yuan, after all. He was no longer the struggling person who had barely a three-digit bank balance.
But as a beginner, there had to be a learning process.
Xiao Qi made lunch.
That's all there is to say.
Fortunately, he now had an iron body, even his stomach was made of steel.
As long as he ignored his sense of smell and taste, it wasn't that bad.
Even Jiang Bei himself was amazed at his self-control. He ate the two plates of dark cuisine without any problem, then nodded with a guilty conscience.
"Not bad, it's delicious."
Xiao Qi was overjoyed, and her golden head seemed to shine under the light.
"Then leave it to me from now on! Hehe, I've also learned several new cuisines that I haven't had a chance to try today."
"Sure."
Jiang Bei's expression was calm as he nodded slightly.At the same time, he convinced himself in his heart that everything takes time and he will get better in the future.
For now, he had to endure it, as it was all for the future.
After finishing the meal, Xiao Qi cleaned up the dishes and even actively cleaned the kitchen.
She scrubbed the pots and pans so clean that they could be used as mirrors, and the kitchen stove was shining brightly.
Even Jiang Bei was amazed.
Wasn't this the lazy and game-addicted superwoman from the past two months?
Then he saw her happily cleaning and tidying up, and then bouncing back to the newly bought sofa, turning on the TV to continue watching cooking recipes.
Jiang Bei suddenly seemed to understand.
Indeed, interest is the best teacher. Xiao Qi's current state is simply obsessed with cooking. Maybe in her eyes, the kitchen is like her toy.
This is a good thing, a good thing.
After all, we always have to actively guide children to develop their own interests and hobbies, especially when these interests are closely related to their future happiness.
After a satisfying meal, Jiang Bei returned to the main interface and immediately saw a new mission report.
His spirits were lifted.
The higher-ups of the Electronic Wizards finally revealed their true colors.
In the suburbs, in a luxurious villa, underground.
One of the high-ranking members of the Electronic Wizards, codenamed Mind Master, usually lived here.
"Are you sure?" Mind Master frowned, "What we are discussing is the ultimate goal of the organization, the pinnacle of the Transcendent Sequence, the Transcendent Being who rules over everything and possesses the power of 'God'."
"Yes, there are signs indicating that the experiment was successful."
The person speaking was a woman on the projection screen in the living room, codenamed Phantom. She was also a high-ranking member from headquarters and had the closest relationship with Mind Master.
"But the report from the Jingrui branch said that the final experiment failed." Mind Master said, "The experimental subject fused with the fragments, but did not show any Transcendent abilities."
"That was just a preliminary judgment. The experimental subject disappeared from the facility. Now we have new clues."
As she spoke, Phantom had already transmitted the video information to the screen in front of Mind Master. Mind Master glanced at it and furrowed his brows.
The video showed a man's corpse, but it was difficult to recognize his original appearance. His flesh was tightly attached to his skeleton, as if severely dehydrated. His eye sockets were sunken, and his death was extremely tragic.
"A civilian Transcendent, Sequence D. The body was found in Yaoshui City. This is a photo taken one day after his death."
"What happened?" Mind Master asked.
"The situation is that he was drained by someone, just as you can see."
Phantom leaned forward, a glint of cunning in her eyes.
"How much do you know about the Jingrui branch's God-making plan?"
"I've heard some. It seems that they made breakthrough progress because they unexpectedly obtained some Abyss fragments that had never been seen before." Mind Master said, "It was all because of those fragments that there was a possibility."
"Yes. But how much do you know about that fragment?"
Mind Master shook his head, "The Jingrui branch is not under my jurisdiction."
Phantom smiled mysteriously, "According to early experimental reports, that fragment exhibited certain special properties. When some Transcendents came into contact with the fragment, they not only experienced rejection, but also felt their vital essence being continuously drained.
In the report, that fragment was like a bottomless pit with infinite gravity. Some lower-level Transcendents even briefly experienced Transcendent malfunction after contact, and it took them a day of rest to recover."
Mind Master's expression changed, "Are you saying..."
"Yes." Phantom chuckled, "Perhaps the experiment was ultimately successful. We really created an ultimate Transcendent. He can absorb the abilities and even the lives of other Transcendents."
Mind Master pondered for a moment.
"But he has gone out of control." He said, "What we wanted to create was a god that could be controlled."
"Not entirely. During the experiment, we left some means in his mind. He should be controllable. But first, we need to find him."
Phantom paused for a moment, then added.
"And we need to make sure that certain people won't interfere."
Mind Master sneered, "I never considered them a trouble."
"Sky Eye should be fine. But now there is also the Endless Alliance, especially that Superman."
"Superman?" Mind Master snorted, casually picking up his teacup, "He's just a brute with brute strength. Barbaric, primitive, a direction of evolution that nature has long abandoned.
Nature gave the ultimate answer years ago, and the mind should be the path of natural selection. That's why I never considered Superman."
"Uh, wait a moment, I have a call."
Mind Master answered the communication through the screen, his voice sounding, "It's me. What's wrong?"
"Xiao Yongxin has been captured, you've been exposed!"
The person on the other end of the phone shouted.
"Run! Superman might come to your place at any time."
Click.The Soul Master's hand trembled. The teacup shattered on the ground, splashing hot tea all over the floor.
