Parental behavior
"You were looking for me?" she simply asked.
Zhao Yi said, "The reward for the bureau's exploration mission has been deposited into your account, Healer. I'm here to let you know."
"Just a notification?"
Zhao Yi's large front teeth gleamed, and he looked a little silly. "Also, the bureau sent you an important document, Healer, but you haven't replied. The bureau asked me to ask you if you have any thoughts on it?"
document?
Ye Jiang slowly took out her phone, and two notifications jumped into her eyes: one was a payment notification, and the other was a notification of unread files. She opened the files, and a series of tables popped up, containing the personal information of each executive member of the Ability Control Bureau, as well as some scores that she couldn't understand.
She felt a slight pain in her eyes and looked away.
"This is?"
"This is our list of outstanding individuals selected to enter the mall. Two thousand people with special abilities were chosen from the headquarters and 40 branch offices. Their personal information is all here. This selection process included not only ability assessments but also character assessments. It was a comprehensive selection, and the results are all displayed in their personal information." Zhao Yi chuckled. "The bureau sent you the list so that if there are any you don't like, you can remove them at will."
Zhao Yi patted his spiky hair. "The bureau hopes you can make a decision as soon as possible, because some branches are far from City A, so it will be easier to leave earlier."
That's why they're waiting for her here.
Ye Jiang gently squeezed the list. She hadn't expected the Ability Control Bureau to value her opinion so much. Even though they had already gone through layers of selection, they still handed her the final veto power.
I'm in a good mood.
Ye Jiang endured the pain in her eyes and flipped through two pages of the list. Just then, Zhao Yi pulled something out from behind him and exclaimed with bright eyes, "Healer, this!"
He kept it hidden behind his back, as if it were a top-secret surprise.
Ye Jiang looked over and saw a well-packaged... tea bag.
Zhao Yi said with a smile, "This is tea from our bureau. Director Shi said you like it and repeatedly asked me to bring it over!"
Ye Jiang: "."
How can we tell?
wrong.
She suddenly remembered the empty teacup she had drunk in the conference room of the Bureau of the Ability Control Bureau to cover up her guilty conscience the last time.
"..."
Before him stood the husky from the Ability Control Bureau, happily carrying a tea bag, while Ye Jiang savored the cheap, bitter taste of tea. Ye Jiang remained expressionless.
"Zhao Yi, are you on this list?"
"Here!" Zhao Erha exclaimed proudly. "In Bureau A's branch, I ranked third in points. Apart from the two team captains, I had the highest overall score! Haha, I'm really excellent!"
Ye Jiang said, "I have no objection to this list, except for you. I'm only removing you from it."
Zhao Yi froze, even the tea bag he was carrying seemed to freeze along with him.
Ye Jiang replied with a blank expression, "Unless you take the tea bags back with you."
"Huh?" Zhao Yi paused slightly, "You don't like our tea bags?"
Ye Jiang: "."
"Director Shi Healer he only noticed afterwards that your cup was empty, and he felt really guilty!" Zhao Yi laughed, tossing the tea bag around. "Hahaha, so you didn't like it! I knew it! The tea in the bureau is so awful, who would like it? Hilarious!"
Ye Jiang: "..."
She took two steps and came to the front of the mall's tall outer gate. She gently placed her hand on it and paused for two seconds. A vortex formed in her palm, and as it spun, the towering gate quickly twisted and deformed, sinking into the vortex in her hand.
"!!!"
Zhao Yi's laughter stopped abruptly. His eyes widened, and panic appeared on his face. "Wait, wait! Healer, let's talk this out. Don't hit me! If you don't like the tea bags, I'll take them back. Don't get angry!"
The tall gate sank into the vortex and disappeared.
"Ah."
Zhao Yi is dead again.
He's finished. He angered the Healer, Healer the door shut. He deserves to die a thousand deaths...
Ye Jiang closed the door and turned around to see that the energetic husky from the Ability Control Bureau had "died." She looked at him strangely, walked up to him, and touched the tea bag in his hand.
The tea bag wobbled, Zhao Yi glanced down at it, his eyes filled with deep sorrow. That wretched tea bag!
He patted the tea bag.
Ye Jiang stopped him. "Don't break it and spill it."
Zhao Yi: "It..."
Ye Jiang interrupted him, "After you get back, open the tea bag. I've attached a temporary key to the mall to each tea particle. Once you're back, find a suitable entrance, place the tea particles there, and the key will automatically attach. Only 41 tea particles have been attached to the key; they'll expire after that."
Ye Jiang said, "Don't all rush here and drive up prices."
It wasn't because she thought it would be troublesome for humans to frequently travel from all directions to City A; no.
Ye Jiang, her face expressionless, walked away.
She's going to the store to buy candy.
Zhao Yi: "!!!"
He realized what he had heard and quickly hugged the tea bag he had previously rejected like a precious treasure.
The Healer had already walked away when he called out to her from behind, his large front teeth gleaming. "Thank you!"
Ye Jiang didn't turn around; only the corners of her mouth slightly turned up.
That day, the Ability Control Bureau carefully protected some cheap tea grains and rushed them to the headquarters and various branches.
Chapter 137 Parents and Parental Behavior.
When the first batch of superhumans from the Ability Control Bureau entered the mall, Ye Jiang was setting up the first floor of the mall. To be precise, it was the Invisible Man she had brought in to help who were setting up the mall, and she was supervising the work.
The mall had been completely transformed. She had redesigned all the floors from the first floor to the hundredth floor, opening up each floor to create training rooms. The first floor, on the other hand, had been specially remodeled and divided into several large areas, resembling a large supermarket. It was a full-food supermarket, divided into fruit, snack, and fast food sections, among others.
The Invisible Man transported batches of goods into the mall, filling the shelves in each area one by one.
Wearing blue overalls and a matching hat, he was working feverishly.
Moving goods is certainly more suitable for Shi Li, who is skilled in spatial abilities, but after parting ways with Zhao Yi yesterday, Ye Jiang returned to Yu Qingyi's apartment and only saw his old friend, the Invisible Man, in the building. Shi Li and Dong Zhen had disappeared. According to the Invisible Man, the two left shortly after Ye Jiang entered the mall with the Bureau of the Ability Control Bureau's exploration mission and never returned. The Invisible Man was certain they hadn't come back because he had secretly moved back to his room after they left, living there with a mixture of tension and excitement, but those two thugs hadn't come to clean it up.
Ye Jiang listened in silence for a while, because she had another purpose for coming back: to capture Shi Li and Dong Zhen, these two unemployed people, and bring them into the building to help her train the little monsters.
Fortunately, the other thing was taken care of.
Yesterday, while browsing in a shop in the south of the city, she suddenly had a brilliant idea: perhaps she could make good use of the ever-growing but idle money in her account by opening a food supermarket in her shopping mall, specifically for herself.
She acted swiftly, then grabbed the Invisible Man and made him handle the matter.
Although the Invisible Man doesn't possess spatial abilities, he is, after all, a powerful S-Rank Polluted with excellent physical strength, making him a good porter.
He had been a human before, and he handled mundane matters like contacting suppliers far better than the monsters; he was an excellent beast of burden.
A day later, the supermarket was already quite well-prepared.
The first batch of superhumans from the Ability Control Bureau who entered the mall were not from the City A Branch Bureau, but from the branch in the neighboring city. One of them was an acquaintance of Ye Jiang, a steel superhuman who had previously followed Xiao Pei on a mission in City S, and he had also passed the selection.
The two didn't interact much when they last met. The only impression the Iron Man had of Ye Jiang was that he was a "powerful Healer." However, in just a few months, Ye Jiang had become famous and a legend within the Ability Control Bureau. He was known for tearing apart S-Rank Polluted with his bare hands and for being so powerful that people looked up to him.
She is still the owner of the Magical Mall, adding another chapter to her legendary life.
The Iron Man with superpowers came in with his branch captain. He didn't try to establish a connection by mentioning his acquaintance with the Healer; he just watched from afar with a complicated expression.
The selection process, which took place within the Ability Control Bureau, did not inform the superhumans of its purpose during the selection process. However, the two thousand superhumans who were ultimately selected were informed.
The existence of monsters and the appearance of the "World Destroyer" will plunge the world into chaos. Most of the two thousand superhumans are encountering these secrets for the first time, and the impact on their worldviews is unimaginable.
Having learned these things, they held in their hearts a deep reverence for the Miracle Mall that could help them improve and resist the "World Destroyer."
It must be mysterious and sacred.
This was their initial thought before entering the mall.
Then they saw glistening, fragrant candies, plump, juicy, exceptionally fresh fruits, and shelves piled high with a dazzling array of canned goods in various flavors, the air filled with a sweet, milky aroma.
Just like the food section of any ordinary supermarket they've ever visited in their lives.
Meanwhile, the legendary Healer they had long admired and respected was setting up a stage at the entrance of this rapidly expanding food supermarket, manually adjusting the sound system.
Great news! Great news! Our new store is opening soon, and there are many surprises to be had. Welcome to shop here!
She turned the volume up really high, making it echo throughout the mall.
"..."
"..."
..."
The silence of the superhumans filled the entire shopping mall.
The forty-odd superhumans stared at each other, their expressions blank. Had they really come to the wrong place? How could the sacred Miracle Mall in their hearts be so... so worldly?
However, the energy falling upon them was as light as a feather and as gentle as water, enveloping them. Even with just ordinary breathing, they could feel their bodies slowly filling up, their superpower index gently fluctuating, and a miracle was happening to them.
The expressions on the faces of the superhumans were priceless.
