Pei Tiangu came back to life.
He hadn't been reborn, nor had he taken over someone else's corpse. He'd been dead for ten years, then someone had somehow found him and brought him back to life.
Upon returning, he found an apartment, a smart AI, and a job offer waiting for him from the start. The only thing missing was money.
Well, since he was alive, he might as well make the best of it.
He couldn't afford nutrient solution, so he had to get a job. Gritting his teeth and steeling himself, Pei Tiangu dug out the job offer he'd tossed into the recycling bin the moment he saw it after coming back to life.
People are made of iron, food is steel. What's wrong with working like a beast of burden?
Ten years later, Pei Tiangu set foot in the Anomaly Management Bureau again. He put his supernatural ability, "At My Disposal," which he'd kept hidden in both his lives, to use. In short, copy and paste, all in the service of perfecting the art of slacking off.
Attend a meeting? Sure!
Before he died, meetings couldn't start without him.
After coming back to life, he started showing up at the last minute every time, copying "Weakened" onto himself, then hiding in a corner, pretending to be deaf and mute. He didn't catch a single important point, but he heard every bit of gossip.
Go on a field assignment? No problem!
Before he died, he could blow contaminated creatures to pieces with one punch and clear a contaminated zone all by himself.
After coming back to life, he would pull out a copied "Mimicry" and crouch in the bushes as soon as he reached a contaminated zone. He'd be out of breath after running and collapse at the slightest movement. If he could lie on a stretcher, he'd never walk.
With the determination to spend fifty years slacking off at work and half his life living like a couch potato, Pei Tiangu reluctantly went on a great many field assignments.
That is, until a great calamity threatened the Alliance. His identity exposed, Pei Tiangu once again became the focus of everyone's attention.
As the only genius who might be able to stand against the enemy, Little Pei waved his hands frantically.
He was just an office worker who couldn't lift anything or fight! Sending an office worker to the front lines was practically asking for a thunderbolt to strike you, hey!
As for who'd be struck, don't worry about it. He never said he only had one ability.
Ten years ago, the Alliance had a genius who, despite his young age, held enormous power. Then he died while trying to desert. In life, he'd been devious and ruthless, with a formidable lightning ability and incredible combat strength. He'd struck down plenty of people. Once word got out that he'd deserted, his reputation instantly went sour. The genius became everyone's target, and even his body disappeared without a trace.
Ten years later, Pei Tiangu opened his eyes in a luxury apartment in the heart of the Alliance capital.
You little brats who schemed against your old man in my last life, your grandpa is back!
Everyone in the Alliance knew that Wen Feichi, head of the Combat Division at the Anomaly Management Bureau, had risen through the ranks by ruthless means. On the eve of the great battle ten years ago, he killed his longtime friend Pei Tiangu, the young genius who had deserted in the middle of the fighting. He saved the Alliance from disaster single-handedly and rose to prominence from then on.
Ten years later, a new employee who looked just like that genius joined the United Front Division. Director Wen borrowed him indefinitely, and everyone started placing bets on whether he'd become Director Wen's next stepping stone to promotion.
The subject of all those bets was currently pinned behind an office door, being kissed senseless by the legendary coldhearted Director Wen.
Pei Tiangu: "I'll open the door right now and let everyone see the coldhearted Director Wen from all that gossip acting like a lovesick dog!"
Wen Feichi: "Go ahead. Just agree to get our marriage license tomorrow. They can watch for free."
Pei Tiangu had to stay at his superior's home during a mission. He watched in disbelief as Wen Feichi unlocked the door to his own luxury apartment in the heart of the city.
Pei Tiangu stared at him, dumbfounded. "Wen Feichi, are you a pervert?!"
