After Death, I Became a Superhuman

Chapter 14 – Endless Hall

Jiang Bei had serious doubts about this place that was supposed to be his own bathroom.

What came into view was a floor paved with metal, an exaggeratedly large hall, a round table with several chairs, and a bizarre crystal ball-like device placed in the hollow center of the table.

He couldn't help but step back and confirm multiple times that this entrance was indeed his own toilet, then forcibly dragged Xiao Qi, who was happily watching anime in the living room.

"What did you do to my toilet?"

"Oh, I just set this door as the entrance to the endless hall. It's just a simple dimensional fold," Xiao Qi replied.

"Why does something so illogical sound as simple as setting a shortcut on a browser when it comes out of your mouth..." Jiang Bei muttered.

He returned to the hall and approached the control panel, feeling a bit dreamy. He reached out and touched the crystal ball, and the dim ball instantly lit up. It was as if the core of the ball had been illuminated by colorful lights, refracting in a dazzling array of colors, like a rainbow condensed in a marble.

"Identifying... Identity verification passed. Welcome back, Eternal Sentinel," a crisp and pleasant female voice sounded from the system.

Jiang Bei cast a puzzled look at Xiao Qi beside him. "Eternal... Sentinel?"

"That's the name of the identity you inherited. Anyway, now you have unlocked the permission to access the endless hall..." Xiao Qi explained.

"Access restricted." As if slapping her face, the system issued a prompt tone without giving her any face.

Jiang Bei looked at Xiao Qi again. "Only partial permissions. The rest will gradually unlock as your treasury value increases."

"So, what is the endless hall? Is it like a lonely fortress?" Jiang Bei asked.

"The second generation of Sentinels created the 'Endless Alliance,' where some extraordinary beings with similar aspirations gathered and fought side by side... Of course, that's all ancient history now. Anyway, this place is ours now, and it doesn't seem like there are any leftovers for others," Xiao Qi said.

The projection of the operating interface appeared on the crystal ball. Jiang Bei swiped twice and found the button for the potion column in the inventory option. There was only one item in it, the "Basic Transcendent Potion."

"Wait, is this the potion I was thinking of?" Jiang Bei immediately looked at Xiao Qi.

"The potion for advancing to Transcendent? Yes," Xiao Qi said. "The so-called 'Transcendent' is essentially a miracle that traces back the phenomenon of transcendence on the human body through the medium of fragments from the abyss, using secret rituals.

According to the settings of the endless hall, the owner of the hall—now you—can unlock the basic transcendent potion when your treasury value exceeds one thousand. The owner can freely distribute it to other members of the alliance.

There are three remaining potions in the inventory. But if suitable materials are collected later, the system in the potion inventory can synthesize more."

"I see."

Jiang Bei glanced at the screen displaying his treasury value, 1002, just breaking through one thousand.

"The other potions behind are all black."

He noticed that there were more potion options behind, but they were all locked and couldn't be viewed.

"Yes, you need a higher treasury value to access them."

He had previously felt that the way the organization above handled the cover-up of transcendent events was somewhat detrimental to him. Now, this function seemed to be able to solve this problem. He could give it a try when he had the chance.

Next, what caught Jiang Bei's attention was the option called "Recruit."

After clicking on it, the first thing that appeared was the words "Recruitable Personnel," but currently, this section was empty. Below that was the words "Personnel Search."

Jiang Bei was a bit confused, so he turned around and brought back Xiao Qi, who was ready to continue watching anime and drinking soda.

"What does this mean?"

"It means exactly what it says," Xiao Qi explained with a slightly unhappy expression, pouting her small mouth. But perhaps because of the snacks, she still patiently explained, "It's the system for recruiting members to the alliance.

The leader of the alliance—now you—can assign tasks, distribute weapons and props, and grant or take away their abilities to the members.

And the treasury value gains from any activities the alliance members engage in will also be added to the leader's treasury value..."

"Wait, what did you say!?" Jiang Bei's eyes lit up. "Does that mean, for example, if I have ten people working for me outside, my treasury value gain speed can increase tenfold?"

"Well, in reality, how much feedback is actually transferred to the leader may depend on the situation, and there may be some loss in between... But overall, it's pretty much like that," Xiao Qi replied.

Jiang Bei suddenly became spirited. This was an unexpected surprise and undoubtedly the most needed function for him at the moment.

He couldn't wait to recruit a hundred or eighty members in one go and send them all outside to work tirelessly for him like James Bond throughout the year.

He clicked the search button, and the interface changed, revealing a three-dimensional map. Jiang Bei immediately recognized it as the familiar Kantu City. The pointer scanned the map like a radar, and below it, the words "Searching" were flashing.

Every time the pointer passed, white dots appeared on the map. They were densely packed, covering the entire area.

"This is an algorithm designed by a very powerful senior in the early days of the alliance. It can search and evaluate personnel on a large scale.

This algorithm can analyze everything about anyone in the present world, both internally and externally. It analyzes a person's past, habits, personality, mental state, and compatibility with transcendence, comprehensively judging their value to the alliance."

"This is so mysterious. It can even scan the internal aspects?" Jiang Bei was amazed.

"Of course, it's not as difficult as you think in the present world," Xiao Qi explained. "Everyone within the scanning range will be marked on the map. People deemed worthy of recruitment by the system will be marked with green dots, while those with ordinary evaluations will be marked with white dots.

Only those marked with green dots are worth recruiting. But I advise you not to hold your breath because the evaluation criteria of this system are quite strict. It's probably not easy to get a green dot..."

Ding!

The system emitted a pleasant prompt sound.

Among the densely packed white dots on the map, a green dot suddenly stood out.

"We have a recruit!" Jiang Bei's eyes lit up.

Xiao Qi: "..."
