Chapter 810 A few hundred dollars a month, what are you trying to do with your life!?
Eddie Brock...
A hapless reporter whose life is not going well.
Being a reporter in this world is actually a very dangerous job.
After all, not every reporter can protect himself like Peter Parker.
And these reporters will always appear in some dangerous places.
As for Eddie...he is the kind of person who comes a step too late.
Because he had no money to take a car, when he followed the news clues and appeared in the blocks covered by the Plains of Despair,
there was no one in that place.
Even the agents sent by SHIELD to maintain the surrounding environment have dispersed, and the place is empty.
So Eddie missed the big news, but he met Spider-Man and Matthew who were late...
Who is Spider-Man?
He is a good neighbor of the New Yorkers. Of course Eddie knows him.
After seeing Spider-Man being hit in the head by Matthew's guide stick,
this guy didn't immediately plan to call the police to save Spider-Man.
Instead, he planned to follow up and plan an exclusive news.
Although Matthew noticed Eddie's movements, Matthew didn't pay attention.
After all, Eddie is just an ordinary person, and he is not expected to cause any danger.
From this point of view, Matthew did nothing wrong.
And Matthew doesn’t intend to hide his identity now.
What's there to hide?
Since he last smashed a lot of ninjas at the door of the blacksmith shop that had not been opened for a long time in Bulkesso,
his identity is no secret.
And now Matthew doesn’t mind letting himself be someone others rely on.
Daredevil or Savage, it doesn’t matter.
In this world where demons may appear at any time, there seems to be no point in pretending to be an ordinary person.
But now, Eddie has encountered Venom...
This is a bit troublesome.
“Although I don’t know how to get rid of you after possessing someone else.
But since you are full of fear of Matthew, you must have a weakness. .
So you plan to be beaten to death by me?
Or should I be honest and get off this person? ”
Leah held the pink mace in her right hand and tapped it gently on her left hand.
It looked a bit like torture...
“I just need a parasite!
I can't move around freely now without parasitism!
I promise not to hurt this person!
The most you can do is eat some of his internal organs secretly! ”
The venom looked very violent.
That look was somewhat similar to that of a domestic pig that was pinched and kept struggling.
The fearful voice combined with the interesting body movements made Leah smile knowingly.
“It’s certainly a good thing that you can communicate.
But before you do anything, you must at least discuss it with the owner of this body.
I don’t think anyone I like to have an extra consciousness in my body."
Lea seems to have a common appearance.
From Leah's perspective, Venom didn't show any aggression.
At best, he has a somewhat irritable personality.
Like a naughty child.
Lea has seen a lot of grumpy people...
When she opened a tavern in New Tristram, she had seen many grumpy guys.
She even saw humans turned into ignorant walking zombies by the power of the Burning Hell in her own tavern...
There are not many things that can surprise Leah.
She has personally experienced the legendary story of the Great Demon God setting foot in the high-level heaven.
"Then what should I call this unfortunate gentleman?"
Lea asked Eddie.
Venom obeyed and released Eddie from his body...
But he obviously had no intention of leaving Eddie directly.
"Eddie, Eddie Brock.
I am a reporter, I just recently started looking for a job again..."
Eddie replied with a confused look on his face. .
He obviously hasn't figured out what he's encountering now.
But he is indeed quite unlucky.
Before, Ying Ying was fired because of his mistake in creating fake news...
Today, he originally planned to apply for a job at the small newspaper, the Bugle Daily.
If he hadn't discovered the breaking news and thought it would be smoother to apply for a job with the results, he wouldn't have come to this place.
Although Eddie is a qualified paparazzi, he is also the kind of guy who doesn't care much about other people's privacy rights.
But he didn’t do any big bad things...
At least not subjectively.
“The guy in your body said his name is Venom.
It needs to be a parasite on your body to survive.
But I think this guy will be obedient, unless he intends to break his promise to the barbarian.
So are you willing to accept this guy? "
When Leah spoke, she glared at the very well-behaved Venom with a stern look...
It seemed to be reminding Venom of what would happen if he hurt Eddie.
< br>Leah is becoming more and more direct now. I don’t know if it is because of the blood of Bulcaisel flowing in her body or for other reasons...
But that's not a bad thing.
"Well, I want to ask what do I have to provide him?
Then what can I get?"
Eddie finally woke up a little and spoke. Just asking about gains and efforts...
This kind of profit-first approach is in line with the general situation in this country.
"Let him tell you himself. You are the one who wants to live with him anyway."
Lea casually pulled over a stool...
The kind made of solid wood.
Then he sat directly on it.
The tavern has not opened yet, so Leah has more free time now.
Leah's condition was not suitable for going out and hunting down demons.
Those demons could detect Leah's aura from a long distance, and then dispersed in a rush.
But Leah could not locate the devil at the same distance.
So Leah can't kill time with such exciting activities as beating up demons.
Every day I just clean up in my tavern, and occasionally deal with a few idiots who don't have the eyesight to come up and collect protection money.
This kind of life is stable and beautiful, which is very good for Leah.
At least there is no heavy burden on Leah now, she is free.
“Well, you just need to give me food.
I can make you stronger, although not as strong as the lady in front of you.
But at least not Will be killed by firearms”
Venom calmed down a little and cautiously discussed his treatment with Eddie.
“Deal!”
Eddie didn’t even hesitate. Who knows how he could agree so directly when dealing with unknown existences.
“Need a contract?
I can help if necessary.
Don't look at me like this, but I'm actually a lawyer.
The kind with a license. "
Matthew squeezed into the wine cellar and said casually.
It was just his appearance that made Eddie and Venom tremble together...
Eddie had seen it with his own eyes before I saw Spider-Man being knocked unconscious when facing Matthew with no way to fight back...
And Venom was roared out of Spider-Man's body by Matthew's war cry.
Both of these guys are quite afraid of Matthew.
“What did you do?”
Leah asked.
“Perhaps this guy saw Peter while he was sleeping?
He said he was a reporter.
Maybe you are looking for some valuable exclusive news? "
Matthew replied.
"It is done.
The pub is not open yet, so I won’t entertain you.
After the guy above wakes up, you all leave. That’s it! "
Leah said while holding her pink mace.
No one present raised any objection...
Matthew Although he has become a lot stronger, to be honest, he feels that he is definitely no match for Leah
Leah already has a bit of Bulcasso's aura in her body...
Especially the sound of the heart beating and blood flowing, it looks more and more like Bulcasso...
" By the way, I want to ask about the differences between the barbarian tribes.
I found that there is a big difference between us and Jessica."
Matthew asked with doubts. Mouth.
"Then I suggest you go to the Holy Mountain of Harrogas and ask those ancestors.
They will give you the answer you want."
Leah said very rudely.
She was not very interested in answering the questions.
“Okay, what can I do now?
I know that all the nephalem are very rich.
So I don’t plan to pay you. ”
Matthew’s words made Leah’s expression change.
Indeed, most Nephalem are not short of money.
Even those who died early in the battle Those guys have a huge amount of gold coins in their hands.
But Leah is different...
She was resurrected from the soul state by Bulqessor.
So her backpack has been completely reset, so to speak...
The lack of money is serious for Leah.
Although before opening the tavern, Bulcasso asked Leah to go directly to the blacksmith to get whatever she needed.
But the currency Bulcaisel left there has been almost used by Leah.
Every time she thinks about the group of bastards she encountered when she went to apply for a business license, Lia's blood pressure rises a little...
Lia has never seen such a lazy guy.
If she hadn't seen those salesmen running so fast when facing the demon, Leah would have doubted whether these people came to work here because of some disability...
"I I suggest you'd better give me money.
Owing a favor is a troublesome thing. ”
Lea turned around and said.
What she said makes sense...
Owing favors is very troublesome. If you can solve the problem with money, it is indeed a problem. A good idea.
But if Leah wasn't really short of money, she wouldn't care about this.
Matthew heard Leah's slightly accelerated heartbeat and immediately understood Leah's situation.
Matthew is as attentive as his hair.
“Well, this is a life-saving grace.
Since Miss Leah is kind and does not intend to let me owe a favor,
so I think one hundred thousand gold coins should be A suitable number.
The nephalem are not short of money, this is just a symbol. "
Matthew said in a very natural and smooth tone.
His words were full of gratitude...
In this way, Leah did not realize her embarrassment. The situation was discovered by Matthew.
This is a good thing for both parties...
"Just put the gold coins under the counter.
There is a hole there, which is where I use to put decorations.
Although I haven't thought about putting anything yet."
Lea left the wine cellar without looking back.
After Leah made sure that the people behind her could not see her, her face was already red.
Leah is not much older than Li Min...
Speaking of which, she is only the age of a child.
Asking her to perform to the same level as before is already the limit.
......
"So I have become a superhero like Spider-Man?"
Eddie asked, staring at Matthew in front of him.
"It's up to you whether you are a superhero or a super villain.
But you do have some Spider-Man abilities now.
But I hope you can Distinguish between what is your own power and what is borrowed power."
Matthew said to Eddie in front of him.
This guy seems to be planning to help Eddie become a hero.
After all, Matthew didn’t have any means to manipulate memory.
Physical amnesia sounds simple, just like a stick in your pocket...
But in fact it is a very difficult skill...
I want the right one It may be a very difficult subject to make a person lose the memory of a previous period of time through physical means...
At least Matthew didn't know much about it.
He doesn’t know how to use physical amnesia, but he is good at physical headshots...
“So where can I get the living allowance after becoming a superhero?
Yes In what superhero association?
How much can I get per month?”
Eddie asked with some anticipation.
As one of the unemployed, what he is more concerned about now is how to make money to survive.
Otherwise, let alone feeding Venom, he would hardly be able to feed himself.
"What living allowance?"
Matthew was stunned by Eddie's question.
"Don't you superheroes have anyone to pay you wages?
Then why do you go to save others?"
Eddie's eyes widened.
He realizes the fact that superheroes don’t get paid.
Obviously he is also a rich man and Iron Man is a superhero.
So, superhero = rich person.
I = superhero
So the inference that I am a rich man was deceived...
“If you want, I can give you a law firm Volunteer work.
You can be paid six hundred yuan a month. ”
Matthew said hesitantly.
"A few hundred dollars a month, what are you trying to do with your life!?" ①
Eddie seemed particularly irritable...
He somewhat couldn't understand these super How noble a hero is...
“If you are really short of money, you can get a little while cleaning up the gangsters.
If it's a few thousand dollars less, no one will care. ”
Matthew hesitantly told the rules of survival he used as Daredevil...
Although this is formally a black-and-white crime, the amount is too small.< br>
Even if the NYPD can't keep up the accounts, they won't care too much
After all, they don't expect all gangs to hire specialized accountants to do the accounting like Kingpin did...
The NYPD also often does things like taking some black money...
"Then you said before that you had to pay 100,000 gold coins!?"
Eddie looked even more irritable. ...
Obviously he felt that he had been cheated.
Can a lawyer come up with 100,000 gold coins?
Is this a normal lawyer’s income?
What lawyer can come up with such a fortune without blinking an eye?
Even Tony Stark wouldn't be able to directly take out so many gold coins, right?
This is not a question of whether there is so much money, but that normal people will not be able to come up with so many gold coins at any time!
If nothing else, it is the smallest gold coin. One hundred thousand is a huge amount.
That weight cannot even be carried by an ordinary car!
Such a guy actually plans to give him a salary of several hundred yuan a month?
Eddie said he couldn’t accept it!
① A line from the movie "Letter to Dad" starring Jet Li and Yu Rongguang. The villain played by Mr. Yu Rongguang always makes me doubt that the protagonist cannot defeat him.
But he looks too decent without sunglasses. I really like Mr. Yu Rongguang’s TV and movie roles.
(Mr. Yu Rongguang’s works after becoming a director are relatively, um, average...)
I almost forgot...
I wish everyone a happy new year~ In the new year, all your wishes will come true, Tiger Happy New Year! Tiger and tiger make wind!
