After Death, I Became a Superhuman-Chapter 59 – Our heat vision is actually so strong
Heat vision, laser eyes, laser vision... call it whatever you want, but it's basically a standard feature for various superhuman characters.
For example, the original Superman, the Eternal Clan's Icarus, the people of our country, and even the well-known Marvel knockoff, Haibolong.
In short, being able to fly and having extraordinary strength can only be considered half of being a superhuman. Without laser vision, it's incomplete. Jiang Bei also deeply realized his current shortcomings. Up until now, he has relied mostly on his physical strength and speed, lacking effective long-range attack methods.
But after ascending to Sequence C, new functions were opened to him in the Quantum Conversion Field. When Jiang Bei came out of the conversion field, he felt refreshed and had a sense of enlightenment.
It was as if new knowledge and understanding were instantly implanted in his mind, teaching him new ways to utilize the immense energy contained in his physical abilities.
He sat quietly in the hall, closed his eyes, and carefully felt the changes in his body. Following the methods that appeared in his mind, he felt as if he could truly sense the flow of heat traveling through his body. It was as if it had always been there, but he had completely ignored it.
This gave him a feeling similar to when he encountered a difficult math problem in high school. You would rack your brain for a lifetime trying to figure out how to solve it, and then the top student would appear, draw an auxiliary line, and leave. You would be astonished at why you were so foolish before and why you couldn't see the obvious solution.
Jiang Bei now had a similar feeling. After being taught by the conversion field, he suddenly discovered that shooting lasers was so simple. He became obsessed with this feeling and specifically went to the training room to practice for a while, enjoying himself while brushing up on his skill proficiency.
With the training room's experience bonus, he made progress with half the effort. It didn't take long for him to feel that he had grasped the essentials. In a short amount of time, he overcame the initial awkwardness and now not only had complete control, but could also make precise adjustments.
For example, he could increase the power to be stronger and more intense, or adjust the output to make it more sustainable. He could freely control both the duration and size.
Feeling like he had mastered a new signature move, Jiang Bei happily left the training room, only to be ruthlessly backstabbed by his kidney.
He suddenly felt weak and almost couldn't get up.
"What's... going on?" Jiang Bei held his kidney in pain and sought expert advice.
"Oh, this is only natural," Xiao Qi, barefooted, with her snow-white legs resting on the armrest of the sofa, casually replied, "You shot too much."
Jiang Bei: "???"
"Of course. The consumption of laser vision is not comparable to your regular consumption. It is a more direct and pure application of energy. Think about it, directly using the essence in your body as a weapon, can the level of consumption be compared to normal activities?"
Jiang Bei held his kidney, and the more he thought about it, the more reasonable it sounded. But no matter how he listened, he felt that there was something strange about this explanation. He didn't know if it was her words that were off or if it was himself...
"So, it seems like I can only use it as a finishing move?"
Jiang Bei felt a little regretful. In the comics, Superman's heat vision was used as a regular attack, although his regular attacks were also as powerful as finishing moves.
"You're still far from that. You're just getting started, and your progress is unprecedented."
"Ah? Is that so?" Jiang Bei was taken aback. "Is my laser vision not right?"
This sudden question made him feel like he was asking a vegetable seller, "Am I not shooting accurately?"
Jiang Bei had spent a long time in the training room, thinking that he had already become quite proficient in adjusting the laser. It was inevitable that his proficiency would be worse than Xiao Qi's, but he didn't think that he would still be considered a beginner.
"It's not that it's completely wrong, but it's not like there are any specific techniques either."
Jiang Bei quickly asked for advice with a humble attitude. But Xiao Qi, busy playing games, had no interest in idle talk and casually responded without any intention of teaching.
So Jiang Bei played his trump card, "By the way, there's a Western restaurant in Chengbei that just opened last week. It's been really popular online these past few days. Their signature dishes have received great reviews, like fried goose eggs with berry sauce, Italian snails with bread, mixed seafood platter, grilled lamb chops with mashed potatoes..."
Xiao Qi bounced up from the sofa at the mention of it, leaving her game controller behind at the speed of light.
"When are we leaving?"
...
Twenty minutes later, they had already arrived at the restaurant.
In the past, Jiang Bei would never dare to come to such a high-class place. It wasn't that he couldn't afford it, but he felt that it was expensive and not worth it for his income level.
But now, it was different. Money was no longer an issue.
They basically ordered all the small snacks and dishes that Xiao Qi thought looked delicious on the menu, and then each ordered a main course. Jiang Bei ordered a Black Angus steak, while Xiao Qi ordered the mixed seafood platter.

In general, the taste of this kind of restaurant may not be exceptional, but the presentation of the dishes would definitely be top-notch. As soon as the food was served, Xiao Qi's appetite was immediately aroused, and without caring about her ladylike image, she started eating.
"This is delicious!"
As she ate the mixed seafood platter, her eyes narrowed into crescents.
After eating for a while, she suddenly stopped and looked down at the half-eaten plate in a difficult dilemma. Then she picked up a piece of shrimp meat covered in sauce with her fork and handed it to Jiang Bei. "This is delicious. Do you want to try it?"
Jiang Bei was stunned.
This was rare. Even if he wanted to share a piece of spicy strip with Xiao Qi in the past, it was a luxury. Now she actually took the initiative to share something delicious with him. It was truly unexpected.
He suddenly remembered something someone had said.
If a cat that loves to eat fish is willing to share its little fish treats with you, it means that it truly likes you.Jiang Bei was slightly moved, thinking that perhaps their relationship had grown a bit closer after all the emotions they had shared. So, he didn't hesitate to accept the shrimp meat that Xiao Qi handed him. Taking a bite, the texture was indeed delicate and tender, and the taste of the sauce spread in his mouth, making him feel utterly satisfied.
"Mmm, it's delicious. Thank you."
Then he noticed Xiao Qi looking at him expectantly.
A quick look at " will leave you more fulfilled.
"Um... I want to eat your steak, is that okay?"
Jiang Bei followed her gaze down...
Oh, she was talking about the steak.
No wonder she was suddenly willing to share her food, it turned out she had an ulterior motive.
"Of course, it's okay."
Jiang Bei smiled, pushing his plate towards her.
"If you like it, you can eat it all, it's fine."
"Really?" Xiao Qi's eyes lit up, "But isn't that... inappropriate?"
As she spoke, she had already taken the entire plate.
She reminded him of himself during the New Year, saying "no, no" while opening his wallet to accept red envelopes.
Seeing that Xiao Qi seemed to be enjoying her meal, Jiang Bei quickly took the opportunity to ask, "Do you think there's something wrong with my laser beam? Are there any other techniques I haven't learned?"
"Huh? You're still thinking about that. It's no use thinking about it, you're not there yet." Xiao Qi spoke with her mouth full of sauce, "You'll naturally learn it later."
Jiang Bei pondered. Did she mean that his skill level wasn't high enough yet?
"So, what other types of techniques are there?"
Xiao Qi thought for a moment.
"Well, let me think... Right now, you only have the most basic heat vision type, which can release an impact-type laser beam. It's the most common and easiest to master.
For advanced techniques, there's the cutting-type laser."
"Cutting-type?"
"Yes, adjusting the properties of the laser beam, turning your heat vision into a super-hot blade that can cut through anything."
"Oh, I see." Jiang Bei vaguely remembered seeing something like this in movies and animations, "What else is there?"
"There's the welding-type, which minimizes damage output and uses high-temperature welding for repair. It's often used for emergency repairs on broken buildings, and it can also be used to cauterize wounds and stop bleeding... but it's very painful."
Xiao Qi continued to talk while eating.
"There's the point-type heat vision, which cuts the heat vision energy into many small impacts. Combined with super speed, it can sweep like a Gatling gun, theoretically hitting a large number of targets in a second.
There's also the area-type heat vision, which maximizes the range for full power release. It's the most powerful mode, but also the most consuming. It can clear the entire screen in an instant, pushing everything within sight.
The evaporation-type heat vision, which reduces the 'impact' and 'cutting' properties and maximizes the temperature characteristics. Any target hit, whether it's a living creature or metal, will evaporate and disappear in an instant.
The X-ray combined heat vision, which suppresses all other properties and only retains the temperature attribute. It can heat through walls, accurately hitting targets behind obstacles. If controlled accurately enough, it can even perform surgery without a knife..."
Jiang Bei was stunned.
Wow, is our heat vision really that awesome?
