We're Just Ordinary People Who Gained Abilities

It's like a greedy, insatiable money-devouring beast.

They ruthlessly use their abilities to manipulate everything in their quest for inexhaustible wealth.

Its desire for treasure naturally influenced Bei Mu through the contract.

Bei Mu tapped on the stock chart above, a strange smile spreading across his face, "All the treasures of the world should belong to me."

Ability - Money Can Move the Gods, triggered.

Ling Hanyu: "If this is what you expect."

She bought the stock without hesitation and invested all the money in the company's accounts, in addition to the company's daily expenses.

The lobby manager, who overheard everything, thought to himself, "Enough already! What's the point of showing off in front of me, the hotel's lobby manager?"

Yi Gui Company? I don't think I've ever heard of that company. Is it one of the top 100 companies in China? Or some international top 100 company?

I'll check it out later.

After all, the fact that they can hold a banquet here means they live very close by, and building good relationships with large companies in the vicinity provides them with more avenues for connections.

Becoming a global giant in a short time? That's easy for them to say, it's practically the same as that "small goal of 100 million".

"Those other worlds? It's like you're talking about tons of worlds. Are you some rich kid obsessed with video games?"

That's such a childish and immature statement. How could anyone say that? Do you think you're an emperor, bringing all the world's treasures to yourself?

There are too many things to complain about; he can't possibly finish complaining at once.

So, the lobby manager couldn't help but reveal a pair of dead fish eyes, and expressionlessly invited this pretentious young master into the hotel.

It's just for one night anyway, and the customer is so generous, I'll just have to put up with it.

But what he didn't know was that he was witnessing the beginning of a ravenous beast revealing its enormous jaws; it would then grow rapidly to a point that would make everyone tremble.

With just a simple, casual click, the fate of countless people was altered.

[Ding! Bei Mu's Character Perfection has increased by 3%!]

[You have publicized the existence of the Anomaly Containment Association, Construction Points +500!]

The banquet was held on the second floor of the hotel.

The venue was decorated in an extremely luxurious manner, adorned with fresh flowers in a subtle yet perfectly placed color scheme, achieving a sophisticated yet tasteful effect.

The surrounding area is also filled with self-service food and drinks, with a variety of desserts and beverages readily available.

In the corner stood a white piano, where a person sat playing a soothing melody.

After marveling at the lavish decorations and taking numerous photos, the employees of Yi Gui Company dispersed to find and enjoy their favorite foods.

They came here just to eat.

There are no outsiders here; everyone is an employee of the same company, so there's no need to put on airs or socialize.

Since there were no outsiders present, those who were close to each other naturally gathered together, relaxing and enjoying this banquet they had never experienced before.

Yang Su and Deng Xiaorui changed out of their usual work clothes and into more casual attire.

They walked together, discussing the latest popular TV dramas while enjoying the delicious food they didn't usually get to eat at the banquet.

Beside her, Xi Jing sat alone on a single sofa, slowly sipping a glass of red wine.

She is a female Contract Anomalist in the Anomaly Containment Association.

Although he's called a member of Skywing A, he's more like his deputy.

Skywing A's whereabouts are unknown, and he comes to the company less often than the elusive Bai Zuo. Some reports are never submitted. Fortunately, this situation has improved after Xi Jing came to the company.

Because his reports were all handed over and completed by his teammate Xi Jing.

However, since there are very few Contract Anomalist in Yi Gui Company, most of them are newcomers who have just joined. Among them, Xu Rou, a newcomer, although also a woman, has not yet become Contract Anomalist.

Therefore, Xi Jing didn't have much in common with them. In addition, Xi Jing was often on missions, and her sharp aura made her particularly unapproachable, which led to Xi Jing always acting alone in the company.

Deng Xiaorui covered her mouth and whispered to Yang Su, "Sister Xi is so cool and handsome! I really want to go up and talk to her, but I'm afraid of disturbing her."

Deng Xiaorui calls Xi Jing" Sister Xi" not because Xi Jing is older, but because Xi Jing's powerful aura makes her look like a big sister.

This made young girls like Deng Xiaorui admire and respect her greatly.

Noticing her gaze, Xi Jing turned her head, smiled at Deng Xiaorui, and raised her wine glass in acknowledgment.

Deng Xiaorui let out another low, incoherent "ah ah" sound.

Yang Su said somewhat helplessly, "Since you want to talk to her, then go over there. Anyway, it's not work time now, so you won't disturb her. It's a rare banquet, isn't it all about everyone relaxing and having fun?"

Deng Xiaorui thought about it and agreed, so she mustered up her courage and walked towards Xi Jing.

"Xi... Xi, Sister Xi."

When Deng Xiaorui opened her mouth, she almost couldn't speak properly.

Xi Jing was relatively friendly towards the ordinary employees in these companies. "What's wrong?"

"Could we be friends? Please." Deng Xiaorui excitedly held her phone in both hands, pleading with the same attitude she would have towards someone she admired.

Xi Jing was taken aback, then sighed, "But this kind of thing doesn't need to be taken so seriously."

"No, for us, we have always had the utmost respect and admiration for you."

Deng Xiaorui is the kind of person who is rather carefree, so she doesn't have Yang Su's keen perception. She noticed the various oddities in the company early on and had some suspicions.

She only found out later that she was working for a truly remarkable company.

Those powerful Contract Anomalist are all affiliated with this company.

Although she did not witness their mission and the battle against the strange beings.

However, these past few days I've witnessed many of the Contract Anomalist returning to the company covered in injuries from their efforts to contain the supernatural.

The wounds they sustained are undoubtedly medals of protection.

Because of their existence, Deng Xiaorui and many ordinary people can live such peaceful lives.

It was seeing these things that led Deng Xiaorui to develop a strong sense of admiration for the Contract Anomalist were always surrounded by danger. This was out of gratitude and respect for these unsung heroes who stood behind the scenes.

Xi Jing smiled sheepishly, then took her phone and added her contact information.

"We didn't become Contract Anomalist because of any grand dreams or ideals; at first, I just wanted to survive."

Xi Jing said, "Don't assume that every Contract Anomalist is someone who wholeheartedly wants to protect the world."

"We are, after all, just ordinary people who have gained abilities."

Deng Xiaorui nodded vigorously, "No matter what, you are all fighting against and containing the supernatural."
