$810 A Few Hundred Bucks a Month, What Are You Playing With!?
Eddie Brock...
An unlucky 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 always appear in some dangerous places.
And Eddie...he is the kind of person who is a step late.
Because he has no money to take a bus, when he follows the news clues and appears in the blocks covered by the Plains of Despair,
there is no one there.
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 New York citizens, and Eddie certainly knows him.
When he saw Spider-Man being hit in the head by Matthew's guide stick,
this guy did not plan to call the police to save Spider-Man at the first time.
But he planned to follow him to plan an exclusive news.
Although Matthew noticed Eddie's action, Matthew did not care.
After all, Eddie is just an ordinary person, and it is not expected that he will cause any danger.
From this point of view, Matthew did nothing wrong.
And Matthew is not going to hide his identity now.
What is there to hide?
Since he smashed a lot of hand-and-hand ninjas at the door of the blacksmith shop in Bulkaso that had not been open for a long time,
his identity is no longer a secret.
And now Matthew does not mind making himself the object of others' reliance.
Daredevil or barbarian, it doesn't matter.
In this world where demons may appear at any time, pretending to be an ordinary person seems to have no meaning.
But now, Eddie encountered venom...
This is a bit troublesome.
"Although I don't know how to take you off after you possess someone.
But since you are full of fear of Matthew, then you must have a weakness.
So do you plan to be beaten to death by me directly?
Or honestly get off this person yourself?"
Leah held the pink mace in her right hand and tapped it gently on her left hand.
It looked like torture...
"I just need a parasite!
I can't move freely without a parasite now!
I promise not to hurt this person!
At most, I will eat some of his internal organs secretly!"
Venom seemed very irritable.
It looked a bit like a domestic pig that was directly strangled and kept struggling.
The panicked voice and the interesting body movements made Leah smile knowingly.
"It's a good thing that you can communicate.
But before you do anything, at least discuss it with the owner of this body.
I don't think anyone likes to have an extra consciousness in their body."
Lia looked like she was used to it.
From Leah's perspective, Venom didn't show any aggression.
At most, he was a little irritable.
Like a naughty child.
And Leah has seen many people with irritable personalities...
When she opened a tavern in New Tristram, she had seen many irritable guys.
In her own tavern, she saw humans turned into ignorant zombies by the power of the Burning Hell...
There are not many things that can surprise Leah.
She has even experienced the legendary story of the Great Demon God stepping into the High-level Heaven.
"So what should I call this unlucky man?"
Leah asked Eddie.
Venom obediently released Eddie from his body...
But he obviously had no intention of leaving Eddie directly.
"Eddie, Eddie Brock.
I'm a reporter, I just recently re-applied for a job..."
Eddie answered with a confused look on his face.
He obviously didn't understand what he was facing now.
But he was really unlucky.
He was fired because of his mistake and made fake news before...
He was originally going to apply for a job at the tabloid Bugle Daily today.
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.
But he didn't do anything bad...
At least not subjectively.
"The guy on you said his name is Venom.
He needs to parasitize on you to survive.
But I think this guy should be obedient, unless he intends to break his promise to the barbarians.
So are you willing to accept this guy?"
As Leah spoke, she glared at the very well-behaved Venom with a stern look...
It seemed to remind Venom what would happen if he hurt Eddie.
Leah is becoming more and more direct now, and I don't know if it's because of the blood of Bul-Kathos flowing in her body or for other reasons...
But this is not a bad thing.
"Well, I want to ask what I have to provide him?
And what can I get?"
Eddie finally woke up a little bit, and asked about the gains and losses when he opened his mouth...
This kind of self-interest-first attitude is in line with the general situation in this country.
"Let him tell you himself, anyway, you are the one who will live with him."
Leah casually pulled a stool over...
The kind made of solid wood.
Then she sat directly on it.
The tavern has not yet opened, and Leah now has more free time.
Leah's situation is not suitable for going out to find and deal with demons.
Those demons can sense Leah's breath from a long distance and then scatter.
But Leah can't lock the position of the demon at the same distance.
So Leah can't spend time with very exciting activities such as beating demons.
Every day, she cleans up her tavern and occasionally deals with a few fools who are not sensible and want to collect protection fees.
This kind of life is stable and beautiful, which is already very good for Leah.
At least Leah now has no heavy burden on her, 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 you won't be killed by guns."
Venom calmed down a little, and cautiously discussed his treatment with Eddie.
"Deal!"
Eddie didn't even hesitate. God knows how he could agree so directly when dealing with unknown existence.
"Do you need a contract?
If necessary, I can help.
Don't look at me like this, I'm actually a lawyer.
The kind with a license."
Matthew squeezed into the wine cellar and said casually.
Just his appearance made Eddie and Venom tremble together...
Eddie had seen Spider-Man being knocked unconscious without any resistance when facing Matthew...
And Venom was roared out of Spider-Man by Matthew's battle roar.
These two guys are quite afraid of Matthew.
"What did you do?"
Leah asked.
"Maybe Peter was seen by this guy while he was sleeping?
He said he was a reporter.
Maybe he was looking for some valuable exclusive news?"
Matthew replied.
"Okay.
The tavern is not open yet, so I won't entertain you.
When the guy upstairs wakes up, you all leave.
It's settled!"
Liya said, holding her pink mace.
No one present raised any objections...
Although Matthew has become much stronger, to be honest, he feels that he is definitely not Leah's opponent.
Leah already has some of Bul-Katho's spirit...
Especially the sound of her heart beating and blood flowing, which is more and more like Bul-Katho...
"By the way, I want to ask about the gap between the tribes of the barbarians.
I find that there is a big difference between us and Jessica."
Matthew asked with doubt.
"Then I suggest you go to the Holy Mountain of Harrogath to ask those ancestors.
They will give you the answers you want."
Liya said very impolitely.
She was not interested in answering questions.
"Okay, what can I do now?
I know that every Nephalem is very rich.
So I don't plan to pay you."
Matthew's words made Leah's face change.
Indeed, most Nephalem are not short of money.
Even those guys who died early in the battle, the gold coins in their hands are a huge fortune.
But Leah is different...
She was resurrected by Bul-Kathos in the soul state.
So her backpack can be said to be completely reset...
Lack of money is serious for Leah.
Although before opening the tavern, Bul-Kathos told Leah to go directly to the blacksmith shop to get whatever she needed.
But the currency left by Bul-Kathos there has been almost used up by Leah.
Every time Leah thinks of the group of bastards she encountered when applying for the business license, her blood pressure rises a little...
Liya has never seen such a lazy guy.
If she hadn't seen the salesmen running fast when facing the demons, Leah would have suspected that these people came to work here because of some disability...
"I suggest you give me money.
It's very troublesome to owe favors to others."
Leah turned around and said.
This makes sense...
It's very troublesome to owe favors to others, and it's a good way to solve the problem with money.
But if Leah didn't really need money, she wouldn't care about this.
Matthew heard Leah's slightly accelerated heartbeat and immediately understood Leah's situation.
Matthew was very careful.
"Well, this is a life-saving grace.
Since Miss Leah is kind enough not to let me owe favors,
I think 100,000 gold coins should be a suitable number.
The Nephalems 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 didn't realize that her embarrassing situation was discovered by Matthew.
This is a good thing for both parties...
"Just put the gold coins under the counter.
There is a pit there, where I put the decorations.
Although I haven't decided what to put in it yet."
Liya left the wine cellar without looking back.
Until Leah made sure that the people behind her couldn't see her, her face was already red.
Leah's age was not much older than Li Min...
She was just a child.
It was already the limit for her to perform the performance she had before.
...
"So I'm a superhero like Spider-Man?"
Eddie asked Matthew in front of him with his eyes wide open.
"Whether you are a superhero or a super villain depends on you.
But you do have some Spider-Man abilities now.
But I hope you can distinguish between your own power and borrowed power."
Matthew said to Eddie in front of him.
This guy seemed to be trying 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 on the head...
But in fact, this is a very difficult technique...
It may be a very difficult subject to make a person lose his memory of a period of time through physical means...
At least Matthew didn't know much about it.
He doesn't know how to cause physical amnesia, but he is good at physical headshots...
"So where can I get the living allowance after becoming a superhero?
Is it from some superhero association?
How much money can someone like me get every month?"
Eddie asked with some expectation.
As one of the unemployed, what he cares more about now is how to make money to survive.
Otherwise, let alone feeding Venom, he can hardly support himself.
"What living allowance?"
Matthew was stunned by Eddie's question.
"Don't you superheroes have anyone to pay you?
Then why do you save others?"
Eddie's eyes widened.
He realized that superheroes don't have a salary.
Obviously, he was also deceived by the inference that Iron Man is a rich man and Iron Man is a superhero.
So, superhero = rich man.
I = superhero
So I am rich...
"If you want, I can give you a volunteer job in a law firm.
I can offer you a salary of 600 yuan a month."
Matthew said hesitantly.
"A few hundred bucks a month, what are you doing?!" ①
Eddie seemed particularly irritable...
He couldn't understand how noble these superheroes were...
"If you really need money, you can take a little bit when you deal with the gangs.
No one will care if it's a few thousand bucks less."
Matthew hesitated and said his survival rules as Daredevil...
Although this is a form of gangsters eating gangsters, the amount is too small.
Even if the NYPD can't reconcile the accounts, they won't care too much.
After all, they don't expect all gangs to hire special accountants like Kingpin to do the accounting...
The NYPD often takes a little bit of the black money...
"Then you said before that you would pay 100,000 gold coins!?"
Eddie seemed even more irritable...
Obviously he felt that he was cheated.
A lawyer can take out 100,000 gold coins?
Is this the income of a normal lawyer?
What lawyer can take out such a fortune without blinking an eye?
Even Tony Stark can't take out so many gold coins directly, right?
It's not a question of whether there is so much money, but a normal person can't take out so many gold coins at any time!
Let alone the smallest gold coin, 100,000 is a huge number.
That weight is not even something that a normal car can carry!
Such a guy actually plans to pay him a salary of only a few hundred dollars a month?
Eddie said he couldn't accept it!
