After Death, I Became a Superhuman

Chapter 28 – Heroes Never Return

Watching She Miao actively accepting tasks in the member information, Jiang Bei couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.

To be honest, not to mention the newcomer's ability to handle things, Jiang Bei was still satisfied with his enthusiasm for work. He thought that if he could have such enthusiasm when working in a company, he might be able to get a new BMW a year ahead of his boss.

It's just that there is only one employee at the start-up stage, and it would be better if there were more active and efficient ones like this. However, it seems that what Xiao Qi said is indeed true. The recruitment radar has been spinning non-stop for several days without seeing the next contestant. It seems that the expansion plan still needs to be considered in the long run.

But anyway, his urgent problem has been solved now, and the treasury value has doubled in just a few days. Jiang Bei was in a good mood and felt it necessary to celebrate.

"Let's have a good meal today." He said to Xiao Qi with a smile, "Do you have anything you want to eat? Feel free to order, we can eat well today to celebrate."

He thought Xiao Qi would be overjoyed, but instead, she shrank back and turned to watch TV: "No... No need. It's better to eat... eat something ordinary..."

Jiang Bei: "?"

He never expected this. Since this superhuman girl fell from the sky, her mouth has never stopped. He's not sure about her other skill attributes, but at least her "eating" skill tree must be full. Hearing this from her was as shocking as the United States saying they would return their Big Apple City to their Indian uncles.

Thinking about it, Jiang Bei felt a little relieved. She actually started to know how to save money, which was good.

"It's okay, it's okay, just eat once in a while. Today is a happy day." Jiang Bei smiled and opened the takeaway app, "What should we eat? Stir-fry a few dishes? Maybe some local dishes from Xizhou? Fried chicken is also good..."

Xiao Qi: "..."

Submit the order, click to pay, and at the same moment, a line of bright red characters popped up in front of Jiang Bei's eyes.

"Insufficient balance."

Jiang Bei was stunned.

What?

Although he had quit his job since he was hanged - because he didn't feel like going to work when he thought he was going to die, he remembered that he still had some savings.

He rarely spent money on weekdays, and most of his salary was saved. So although he didn't work for a long time, he still managed to save more than 100,000 yuan as a programmer.

How could it be gone?

Thinking of this, he suddenly turned his head and glanced at Xiao Qi. The superhuman girl looked guilty, turned her head pretending to watch TV, but her eyes couldn't help but sneak a glance at Jiang Bei's expression.

Jiang Bei fell into deep thought.

He knew that Xiao Qi ate a lot, but he thought, how much could she eat? There must be a limit to three meals a day, right?

He checked the details of the account and found that he was naive.

It can only be said that people's physique cannot be generalized, and three meals a day may not be suitable for everyone. And sometimes she ate quite high-end.

It's just eating, but Jiang Bei also found several consumption records behind it, the object was... Shuangcheng Animation Star Club?

What the hell is that?

Jiang Bei cast a puzzled look at Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi's eyes dodged: "Maybe... maybe I bought a little bit of plastic figurines..."

Jiang Bei: "..."

"And a little bit of cosplay costumes and props..."

Jiang Bei: "............"

"...Is it very far from your home here?" Jiang Bei asked.

"It's not too bad."

The stratospheric wind brushed Xiao Qi's golden hair, and she flicked her hair and said softly.

"Actually, I used to do this a lot at my place. I'm different from my predecessors, I was born with this power. Since I was a child, everyone told me that I have talent, that I am different, and that I am destined to become a special symbol...

...But I never wanted that, I just wanted to grow up properly. But no one would listen, no one would be interested. Everyone liked me, but at the same time, they were so far away from me, I never had anyone to talk to.

So when I had something on my mind, I had no choice but to do this, fly very high, to a very quiet and spacious place, so spacious that I even had a chance to feel myself."

Jiang Bei silently looked down with her. From here, they could see the thick white clouds, like the waves of the ocean. Through the clouds, they could make out the winding rivers, the continuous mountains, and even their intricate textures and details.

"...It's not so spacious now, is it?" he suddenly said.

"?" Xiao Qi was startled.

"Because there are two people here now." Jiang Bei smiled, "Does it feel a little more crowded?"

Xiao Qi stared at him for a moment.

Then she smiled too.

"...I'm sorry for spending all your money."

"Well... anyway, the money earned is destined to be spent, it's not a big problem." Jiang Bei shrugged, "Just think of a way to get some more."

He paused, "And, I think we should really go down and eat noodles. If the noodles are left for too long, they will become mushy and not taste good."

"No." Xiao Qi pouted, "You eat, I won't. It doesn't taste good."

"It's delicious."

"I won't eat it, I won't." Xiao Qi insisted, "Even if I fall from here, fall into the sea, fall into the mouth of a volcano, I will never eat boiled noodles with clear water!"

As soon as her words fell, a rumbling sound came from her little belly.

Xiao Qi: "..."

Ten minutes later.

"It's so delicious!"

Xiao Qi slurped the noodles with satisfaction.

Jiang Bei was proud: "Of course, it's a secret recipe."

Actually, it was just an instant noodle seasoning packet...

One seasoning packet was used twice, once for instant noodles and once for hanging noodles, which seemed to last for a while.

As Jiang Bei scooped out the second bowl of noodles from the pot, Xiao Qi suddenly exclaimed.

"What?"

Jiang Bei looked at her and noticed that her little ears seemed to have moved again.

"Um... Twelve miles to the east, there are cries for help and explosions, and... the sound of electric currents?"
