After Death, I Became a Superhuman-Chapter 70 – Superman small goal
Jiang Bei walked out of the quantum conversion room, covered in sweat, and clenched his fist as he looked down at his body.
From the appearance, it seemed that there was not much change, but only he knew that the excess fat that only a otaku could have had disappeared without a trace. His body had become noticeably stronger, not bigger, but definitely hard enough to surpass the best condition of an ordinary person.
【Steel Body】significantly increased the strength of his body to the point where it was invulnerable to knives and guns.
This was the new skill he had just acquired from the conversion room. It was a passive skill that would permanently take effect once acquired, giving him a physique that ordinary people couldn't match.
In fact, this single passive skill was already extraordinary in the current system. According to the current understanding of extraordinary abilities, all extraordinary abilities that enhance the physical body have their limits.
The highest recorded level for enhancing the physical body was only Sequence B, and even the physical qualities of a Sequence B individual couldn't reach the point of being invulnerable to knives and guns.
It could be said that as long as one was a carbon-based organism, it was impossible to be impervious to thermal weapons. Even the strongest extraordinary beings of higher sequences were strong because of their various abilities, but this basic law still had to be respected.
However, the skills on Jiang Bei's list clearly didn't respect this commonly accepted rule.
Although he was only Sequence C at the moment, after activating 【Steel Body】, he was already immune to individual small arms fire. This was absolutely impossible according to the current understanding of extraordinary abilities.
Jiang Bei swung his fist and the more he tried, the more he felt that he was truly strong now. A surge of confidence welled up within him, and for a moment, he wanted to go to the living room and pick up Xiao Qi, who was playing games, to test his hardness.
But this thought quickly disappeared and was soon dismissed.
His progress was indeed significant, but he knew his own limits. Xiao Qi may seem harmless on the surface, but if he really didn't know his own strength and tried to test it on her, he might end up killing her.
Noticing Jiang Bei's return, Xiao Qi sat in front of the newly bought TV without turning her head and asked, "Unlocked a new skill? How does it feel?"
A quick look at bit.ly/3iBfjkV will leave you more fulfilled.
"It's alright, I feel stronger... but is it just my imagination? Why do I feel like I've also become more vulnerable?" Jiang Bei frowned, "I thought the transformation consumption had already decreased..."
"Oh, it's because although your physique has been enhanced, the abilities of the Eternal Sentinel are also being further unlocked," she said matter-of-factly, "Didn't I mention it?
As your treasury value increases, your basic abilities as a sentinel will also become stronger. The stronger you become, the greater the consumption... Haven't you noticed that these transformations have been stronger than when you first started?"
"Is that so?"
Jiang Bei pondered for a moment.

Because he had been able to defeat anyone with just one punch since the beginning, he didn't really feel the difference.
But with her words, if he thought about it carefully...
Did he fly a little faster?
Did his strength increase a little?
When he first went to pick up the plane, the maximum speed he could reach was probably only two or three times the speed of sound, roughly on par with the world's top jet fighters. But now, although Jiang Bei didn't have specific data, he felt that he could easily reach speeds of six or seven times the speed of sound, and with a bit of effort, he could probably climb up to ten times the speed of sound.
It should be said that he had indeed become much stronger.
But when Jiang Bei thought about it carefully, he had just unlocked the 【Steel Body】. With this new passive skill, he already had the abilities of laser vision, full-spectrum vision, and steel body. Now, he only lacked a super strength on the level of a locomotive to basically achieve the achievement of a low-level Superman.
Superman in the comics wasn't as invincible as he is today from the beginning. In the early golden age of comics, Superman was relatively more approachable. The classic slogan that has been passed down accurately described Superman's level of ability at that time.
Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, it's a bird, it's a plane, it's Superman.
In that era when there weren't aliens flying all over the sky and super villains everywhere, Superman's work mostly revolved around dealing with urban crime and being a friendly neighbor who helped others. Obviously, that level of affairs didn't require the excessively abnormal abilities that came later, so the Superman of that period was relatively closer to reality.
He was probably faster than a bullet and his strength was probably on par with a locomotive. He didn't have the ability to fly, but his jumping ability allowed him to leap over tall buildings. His body was invulnerable to knives and guns, but it was probably the limit to withstand a direct missile hit.
Jiang Bei now only lacked super strength, and his basic abilities were already fully equipped. The main limitation on the intensity of his abilities was his own sequence.
This was the basic law of the extraordinary system. Although there were indeed differences in strength between different extraordinary beings, what kind of effect the same ability would have in the hands of different individuals also depended on the individual differences of the corresponding extraordinary beings.
A large amount of training and scientific development could enhance the proficiency of controlling extraordinary abilities, allowing the same ability to be developed into various different methods of use and variations. Sequence promotion could fundamentally enhance the strength of extraordinary beings.
So if one wanted to become stronger and harder, the most fundamental thing was to increase their sequence. As the sequence of an extraordinary being increased, the performance of each corresponding ability would become more prominent.
Of course, based on the current performance, even without cheating, Jiang Bei seemed to have already far exceeded the level that a Sequence C should have.Xiao Qi's words were indeed true, their Transcendent abilities were slightly different. With bodies of steel that were impervious to blades and bullets, capable of withstanding rocket launchers, Jiang Bei, despite being accustomed to such extraordinary abilities, was still not entirely confident. However, it was enough to shock the Sky Eye.
Firstly, he set a small goal, to strive towards the level of a golden Superhuman. Then, the interim goal was to become a silver Superhuman, capable of extinguishing the sun with a breath and dragging planets with bare hands. The long-term plan would be determined later.
With a small goal in mind, Jiang Bei quickly regained his motivation. He was about to go back to the training room to consolidate his new abilities with the Teletubbies, but he saw a sudden pop-up message on the screen.
It was a mission report from the Yingge Town squad. Jiang Bei clicked on the brief to take a look.
Well, he had only thought there might be a nest of vampires there, but he didn't expect to find an unexpected gain.
The brief reported that a Kindred base had been discovered and confirmed to be a branch of the Prayer Meeting they had dealt with before. She Miao and Wang Hongfei had already occupied the base and obtained a piece of crucial information.
There might be a meteorite near Yingge Town.
According to the information gathered, this might be of a size that even the Prayer Meeting had never seen before. It had much stronger abilities than the one they found in Kangtu last time.
What's more terrifying was that this stone was already activated.
It didn't need human operation, excavation, or intervention. It was a stone that was always on the verge of going berserk. The dam break incident in Changhebin Town last time was caused by this thing, and that was just a warm-up.
And now, that stone had reached the critical point of going berserk.
