(Translator: One of the best novels I have ever read, from the IQ to the power scaling to the background world, it's a masterpiece. The only downside is that the author writes slowly. i have followed him from 2023 to this day, he only updated about 180 chapters.)
**Chapter 1: Security Guard**
Inside the Employee Building on the left side of the Building, in room 4027, a young man with an Asian face was staring at himself in the mirror, his face filled with shock.
"Shit, transmigration is actually a real thing." The man in the mirror looked extremely similar to himself, almost as if they were carved from the same mold.
But the extra memories in Xia Shang's mind clearly told him that he had indeed transmigrated, and into the body of this guy who looked exactly like him and had the same name.
But how exactly did he die?
Xia Shang's gaze inadvertently fell upon the shattered glass water cup on the floor. A flash of the original owner's last moments before death immediately crossed his mind: because he drank water too quickly, a large amount of liquid entered his trachea, causing difficulty breathing, and he ultimately blacked out during a violent coughing fit.
Dying by choking on water – a death that only seemed possible in curses – actually existed.
While marveling at this, Xia Shang began to sort through the memories in his mind. The original owner was named Xia Shang. He came to America thirteen years ago with his uncle and aunt, living in Queens. He attended a regular high school and greatly admired Superheroes who championed justice.
So, after graduating from college, he came to Vought International to apply for a security guard position. Today was his first day on the job.
"Vought International... why does that sound a little familiar?" Xia Shang furrowed his brow. Just as he was trying hard to think, a sharp pain suddenly struck, directly interrupting his thoughts. He raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, suspecting that the transmigration might have brought some hidden issues.
Just then, a knock came from the door.
"Xia, are you okay? I heard something break in the hallway just now."
The familiar voice quickly brought a slightly simple and honest white face to Xia Shang's mind. The person outside the door was named Blitz, also a new employee starting today. He was a natural optimist, always smiling at everyone. Although they had only interacted briefly, it was clear he was a good person.
"I'm fine, I just accidentally dropped a water cup," Xia Shang replied loudly.
"Do you need me to call housekeeping?"
"Nah, buddy, it was just a broken water cup."
After cleaning up the glass shards and water on the floor, Xia Shang pushed the door open and stepped out.
"Xia, you look like you're in a good mood," Blitz was a few centimeters shorter than Xia Shang and visibly sturdy.
Xia Shang naturally wouldn't tell him that, as a patient who had been paralyzed for three years, regaining his health now brought an indescribable surprise.
While observing the clean white hallway, he said, "Being able to join Vought International and work alongside those Superheroes is my lifelong dream. Now that it's come true, of course I'm happy."
Don't underestimate this security guard job. According to the memories, the monthly salary for this position was a full five thousand. Not yuan, but dollars.
Blitz, walking alongside him, laughed heartily, "Buddy, I feel the same way."
"Oh right, who's your favorite Superhero? A-Train, who's as fast as a train, or Homelander, who's been making a big splash recently? Of course, my favorite is still Queen Maeve. That look is just incredibly sexy. I used to get off to her in high school..."
Xia Shang immediately interrupted the rambling Blitz. The names Blitz mentioned flashed through his memory like lightning. Although he had been paralyzed in bed for three years, his eyeballs could move, so the nurses who cared for him often put on TV shows or anime for him.
And the names Blitz mentioned were clearly characters from The Boys.
Thinking of the scenes where those Superheroes treated human lives like dirt, Xia Shang immediately felt a headache. Transmigrating to this world was definitely not safe, let alone being a security guard for Vought International. The danger level was maxed out.
"Do you think it's still not too late for me to quit now?" Xia Shang said, rubbing his temples.
Blitz glanced at him. "Buddy, that's not funny at all." Saying that, he pulled out his phone and waved it in front of Xia Shang. "Our assignment for today is already out. We're responsible for security work at the Film Set. We have to get there within 20 minutes."
"Don't worry, our job is easy. Just blocking some crazy fans."
"OK, I'll wash my face and we'll head out." He had only signed the work contract yesterday. Quitting now would require paying a Penalty Fee, and Xia Shang didn't have that kind of money in his pocket right now.
After gathering with the others, the group took a car to the Film Set.
The Film Set had already been cordoned off with Yellow Caution Tape.
They could see a large number of fans holding light boards, anxiously waiting for the Superheroes to arrive. The atmosphere on site was incredibly lively, reminding Xia Shang, who had just gotten out of the car, of those crazy fan-chasing scenes he'd seen on TV.
"Shit, could you guys be any later? Just now, some guy actually snuck into the theater... If anything goes wrong, you'll be held fully responsible."
The person supervising the security work was a white woman from Vought International. She looked sharp-tongued and mean, and her spit nearly sprayed onto Xia Shang's face.
"Asia, they're just new hires. I'll take care of these things with them." A burly man walked over from not far away. He was Or, the team leader for Xia Shang and the others.
Although Or's position was no lower than Asia's, the two seemed to have some bad blood.
"Then please keep your rookies in line," Asia said, tossing her hair and swaying her tight butt wrapped in a short skirt as she walked towards the theater.
After she disappeared from everyone's sight, Or spat on the ground and cursed, "Damn bitch, always telling me what to do."
After venting his anger, Or assigned work to Xia Shang and the others with a stern face.
Xia Shang's job was to be responsible for security at the Film Set exit. He stood in front of the crowd, wearing his security uniform.
It had to be said, this job was indeed easy. It wasn't until noon that Queen Maeve, wearing a steel headband and a leather skirt, slowly emerged from a red supercar, surrounded by fans.
She enthusiastically posed for photos with fans while striking sexy poses for the countless media flashes.
Xia Shang was not responsible for escorting the Superheroes.
Queen Maeve didn't notice the inconspicuous Xia Shang beside her at all, but the moment she passed by him.
A burning, mixed pain surged into Xia Shang's eyes.
Following that were countless colored lines of varying thickness, and then the lines converged into a Panel.
