Chapter 702: The Benefits of Joining SHIELD, I Can Be Considered as a Regular Employee (1/2)
Chapter 702 The benefits of joining SHIELD are that you can be considered as a regular employee
"I apologize to you on behalf of our director." Coulson pursed his lips, "From your point of view, his crime is unforgivable, and even death is not a pity.
But to be honest, in his position, he must consider the majority of people."
"I understand that I am in a high position and cannot help myself." Aaron said with a fake smile, "But I don't like it, and I don't believe it."
"I understand very well." Coulson smiled, "Then do you want to join?"
"I refuse."
"So straightforward?" Coulson raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, "I thought you would at least consider it before refusing!"
"What is there to consider?" Aaron asked back, "I have millions in savings, I have my own shop, why don't I enjoy my life and join your secret service organization to risk my life.
What do I want? Five social insurances and one housing fund or a salary that may not be more than five figures every month? "
"Don't you have any ideals to do something for this world?"
"To be honest, I do." Aaron poured himself a cup of tea and drank a sip slowly. "When I was a child, I thought about being a hero admired by thousands of people.
But then I found that I was naive, and it is not so easy to be a hero.
Before I followed Gandalf on his adventure, my biggest wish was to work diligently, inherit my father's property step by step, and then live off my old capital with peace of mind. "
Coulson's mouth twitched, and he really couldn't comment on Aaron's simple wish.
If possible, he would also like to live off his old capital, but unfortunately he didn't have the conditions.
"What about after the adventure? I mean now."
Aaron clapped his hands and motioned Coulson to look at him, "Do you think I am a rich man?"
"Yes, a millionaire, at least much richer than me."
"Am I capable?"
"Yes, as you said, you are much better than the average person."
"I am rich and capable, young, handsome, and my IQ is not low.
I didn't learn to kill, set fire, burn, kill and loot like a villain, which is also a contribution to society in a sense!"
Hearing this, Coulson was speechless for a while.
It seems to make some sense, no, that's not right, I was almost fooled by this guy.
He came to recruit on behalf of SHIELD, not to reason.
"Maybe you're right, but..." Coulson pondered for a few seconds, "Do you know why I came to you today?"
"I don't know, and I'm not interested in knowing."
"First, it's to wait for the Hulk incident to pass, and second, it's to let you have a good rest for a while. Few people have this treatment."
"It sounds good for me, but it doesn't make any sense." Aaron smiled cynically, "Besides, I'm not a fool, don't say it so beautifully.
I'm a clean person, and there's nothing you can do to me."
"Then let's talk about it in practical terms." Coulson shrugged, "You're already on General Ross's list, and he investigated all your information after he went back that night.
S.H.I.E.L.D. The Bureau has smoothed over some of your flaws, but this is not always safe. "
"Isn't this all thanks to you?"
"That's why I came here today." Coulson took out a paper document and a black pen from his briefcase, "Join an official organization, you can avoid the threat of the military.
Believe me, there is nothing more suitable than S.H.I.E.L.D."
Aaron didn't even look at it, "Tony and I have some friendship, as long as I abide by the law, Stark Industries' lawyers can always fight for me. I believe that there is still a king's law in this world.
In addition, no matter how much you say, it's useless. The essence is to let me do some dangerous work for you, right?"
"Uh... You can't say that." Coulson Coulson smiled awkwardly and explained, "Your situation is special. Even if it is a dangerous job, it depends on your willingness, and we will provide a generous reward to match it."
"Willing? I have seen the ability of SHIELD to cheat people. Sometimes it is impossible to refuse.
As for the reward... no matter how much money you give me, it will be useless if you lose your life." Aaron said disdainfully, "Past experience tells me that it is happier to be a little selfish, so don't use words like world peace to morally blackmail me.
I also love peace, but to be honest, peace has little to do with me."
Coulson did not comment, then hesitated and took out a silver bracelet from his pocket, "Then wear this!"
Aaron was thoughtful and asked in confusion "What is this?"
"A positioning device." Coulson said frankly, "I don't want to lie to you, but supervising strange people like you who pursue a stable life is also one of SHIELD's responsibilities.
Prevent trouble from happening. You won't cause trouble now, but you may not in the future."
"What if I don't wear it?"
"It doesn't matter if you don't wear it. This bracelet not only makes it easier for us to find you, but also makes it easier for us to rescue you."
"Rescue?" Aaron seemed to have thought of something, and his face twitched slightly, "Isn't this exaggerated?"
"Ordinary people don't know about your battle with Bronski that night, but many people at the scene saw it.
In other words, it's only a matter of time before you enter the sight of other organizations, and it's not certain that someone won't attack you."
Gulu!
Aaron pretended to be nervous and swallowed, "Bracelet or documents, I have to choose one, right?"
"This is your protection." Coulson said seriously, "If you don't need it... I can convince the director."
"This..." Aaron struggled for a while and drank all the tea on the table. "Let's talk about the benefits of joining SHIELD!"
"Okay, no problem." Colson breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, he was more worried than Aaron. If Aaron chose the bracelet, then his visit today would be in vain, and there would be no reason to ask him to join SHIELD in a short time.
"First of all, you can't ask me for those life-threatening jobs, or I have the right to refuse."
"Yes, I agree on behalf of the director." Coulson smiled. What Fury really valued was his pharmaceutical ability, weapon design, and divination ability.
If such a person wanted to be a soldier, they would not be able to part with it. What if something happened to him in an accident?
"Secondly, my status cannot be too low." Aaron said with a bitter smile, "I can reluctantly join SHIELD, but you can't arrange a job of sweeping floors for me!
Don't get me wrong, I'm not looking down on cleaners, but that's insulting to a millionaire like me. "
"Level 6 clearance, with a basic salary of more than 10,000, which is already more than most agents." Coulson said directly, "SHIELD's highest clearance is level 10, but there are only a few people including the director.
Don't worry, I've been working for S.H.I.E.L.D. for nearly twenty years, and I only have Level 8 permissions. "
"Sounds good." Aaron nodded slightly, "Agent Coulson, how about we talk while we eat?"
"Then be extravagant." Colson said easily, "What's on the menu today?"
“BBQ and beer.”
"What about the price?"
"The roasted whole pig is priced at two hundred dollars a piece, and a beer is ten dollars."
“It’s much cheaper than last time!”
“The ingredients are cheap, so the price has naturally dropped a bit.
My pricing here is very fair. "
“Let’s have some of the same!”
"Okay, wait a minute." Aaron quickly brought out a few dinner plates and a few glasses of sparkling beer from the kitchen.
"Besides non-dangerous work and treatment, do you have any other requirements?" Colson asked while eating.
"I can't give up my store."
"We only come to you when needed and will not disturb your usual life."
“Humanity, I like it.
In fact, I know what you value about me, my medicine, weapons and divination ability.
There's no problem with that, but... I won't be polite about the money you should charge. "
"It should be so." Coulson said matter-of-factly, "SHIELD gives you the status of a Level 6 agent. You don't need to do dangerous tasks or do civilian work.
In other words, you are a consultant labeled as SHIELD and enjoy corresponding treatment.
However, you should still answer the call and provide certain help when necessary, because you may be more professional than us in some matters. "
"this..."
"If you can't even fulfill this request, then...it would be too insincere.
They only receive a salary but do nothing. Even our bureau chiefs don't get this kind of treatment. "
"Okay! But you have to pay for asking me for help.
Starting at RMB 100,000, there is no upper limit. "
"You are crazy about money!" Coulson secretly cursed in his heart, "I can't decide this. I need to discuss it with the director. After all, I am not in charge of money."
"No problem, you can discuss it slowly."
Coulson put the documents away, "I will send you the new agreement soon, along with your ID. With the identity of SHIELD, it will be much easier for you to do anything.
If there is anything else you need to add, you can tell me on the phone. "
"There are indeed some." Aaron showed a sheepish smile, "For example, business trips subsidies, five insurances and one housing fund, as well as various permissions owned by level six agents, etc."
Colson smiled and said, "I'll send it to your email later."
"How about this! Just go to SHIELD headquarters with me and many of your doubts can be easily solved."
"I will have the opportunity in the future. I have important things to do during this time." Aaron declined.
Follow to S.H.I.E.L.D.? I'm afraid that after arriving, the weapon will have to be handed over to the scientific department for research, and a physical examination will also be done to see if there is any difference between him and ordinary people.
Although he didn't think SHIELD could detect anything unusual, he didn't like being treated as a lab rat.
"Really?" Colson looked at him suspiciously, "Then I won't bother you."
"Wait a minute." Aaron suddenly thought of something and stopped Colson as he stepped out of the store with one foot, "I still have a little question.
How many kinds of strange people does S.H.I.E.L.D. pay attention to? Do they have any organization? "
"I'm afraid only a few people with level 10 permissions or level 9 permissions are qualified to know this."
"How many species do you know?"
"I can only tell you that the water in this world is very deep." Colson said solemnly, "But I have dealt with one of the forces not long ago. If you must want to know..."
"Forget it." Aaron stopped him hastily, "I understand the rules. The more you know, the more dangerous it is."
After Colson left, Aaron stretched out and sat on the sofa, the corners of his mouth raised in an arc.
Official status is also a cover, and the treatment is not bad, there is no reason to refuse.
......
After being included in the SHIELD system, Aaron's life became fulfilling.
SHIELD will place an order for a batch of magic potions every month. Even if Aaron takes a 99% discount, he can easily earn a million a month, and the supply is in short supply.
He did not fall behind in refining defensive magic tools. Although he has only completed less than one-third, each one is a very good alchemy prop.
The most important thing is that his first pot of lucky spirit is almost finished, and he is still looking forward to the lucky potion.
Putting the ten moonstones with defensive magic that have been refined together, looking at the crystal clear bracelet, Aaron's heart is full of a sense of accomplishment.
Unfortunately, his alchemy can only barely achieve seven enchantments, which is far from the god-level level, and can only rely on the number of magic tools to superimpose functions.
Just as he was admiring this not-so-perfect bracelet, three uninvited guests came in and sat on the sofa opposite him very familiarly.
"Jessica?" Aaron looked at the woman in a cheap coat and blue jeans with some disdain, "Don't you have anything else besides this dress?"
"Can't I buy a few identical ones?" Jessica said unhappily.
"As long as you are happy." Aaron said indifferently, and then turned his attention to the other two.
A beautiful woman with golden hair and a heroic look, and a black man, full of strength.
"Who are these two?"
"Tracy Walker, Luke Cage, my friends."
"It's not as simple as friends! But I don't care about this." Aaron said half-jokingly, and then turned on the computer, "Sorry, it seems that you are not among the people who have made reservations today."
"We are not here to eat." Jessica said speechlessly.
"It can be seen that among the three of you, only Miss Walker has the ability to consume in my store."
"How did you see that?" Tracy asked curiously.
"Clothes and temperament." Aaron smiled faintly, "Any piece of clothing you wear, even a scarf, is more expensive than what the two of them wear combined.
As for temperament...if nothing unexpected happens, it should be cultivated since childhood, but it's a bit out of place."
"What?"
"It's just that no matter how much the ugly duckling learns from the white swan, it is not a swan after all, but such an ugly duckling is much better than other ugly ducklings of the same kind."
Tracy nodded involuntarily, and looked at Aaron with a little more recognition.
"Can we talk about business?" Luke asked.
"Kilgrave." Jessica took a deep breath, "He can't control you, right?"
"Did Hope tell you?" Aaron rubbed his eyebrows tiredly, "Little girls just like to be emotional."
"Little girl? You talk as if you are older than her."
"Speak politely, I will be nineteen in two months.
By the way, when you are eighteen, can you start from scratch and stand on your own like me?"
Jessica choked and opened her mouth hesitantly, but she couldn't say anything after all.
