Chapter 537: Xiao Yu Doesn't Want to Be a Wife, But Can Join the Water
Chief Black was very eager after hearing about Broly from Jackie Chan; they, District 13, are known as an elite squad, agents among agents, but in reality that is only true relative to ordinary people — against those evil villains who possess supernatural power, they appear somewhat powerless.
And a peculiar boy who walked out of Hell, able to fight the Walong possessed by the Saint Lord to a standstill, and deemed by Jackie Chan's father not to be an evil person, is precisely the talent District 13 urgently needs; after all, they cannot always rely solely on their old friend Jackie Chan, an archaeologist who is very good at fighting.
"Residence and work?"
Broly was somewhat eager; residence he didn't care about, but a job was indeed what he needed — before leaving Hell he gave all his food to Xiao Feng, and now he needed a job that could earn remuneration so he could support himself in this unfamiliar world.
Of course, even without a so-called job, Broly wouldn't starve in a resource-rich world, but having work would make his life a bit more like a modern person's; otherwise, he would have to go hunt ingredients himself.
"Working for you is fine, but can you pay me a sufficient salary?"
Broly asked; when he was an adventurer in other worlds, the rewards were very high.
"District 13's funding is ample, and the treatment of internal members is also very generous; it will definitely satisfy you."
Chief Black was very confident on this point; District 13's opponents are all kinds of desperately vicious international criminals, and the annual funding they receive is not low.
"However, before entry, you must undergo an entry assessment; I have to verify your skills, to see if they are as formidable as my friend Jackie Chan claims.
This is both responsibility to District 13 itself and responsibility to you; otherwise, if your ability is insufficient yet you get a dangerous job, ability mismatched to the job content will cost you your life."
Having said this, Chief Black took Broly to a room with various training equipment — this is where District 13's elite agents train daily, and Jackie Chan sometimes comes here to train martial arts as well.
"This is Tag; he is an excellent agent of our District 13."
Chief Black summoned a middle-aged man and introduced him to Broly.
"Tag, I need you to assess Broly."
"An agent's assessment?"
"No need to assess everything, only the combat portion."
Chief Black paused, then said to Broly: "Considering your situation, and since we are hiring you to deal with supernatural events, we may need to use extraordinary power; can you accept that?"
"No problem."
"Xiao Yu, your uncle Jackie Chan told me about the talismans; can you take out the talismans you took now?"
Chief Black looked at Xiao Yu; Xiao Yu showed a somewhat embarrassed smile and hurriedly fished the taken talismans from her pocket: "They're all here."
"I really don't know how you took them; the room storing the talismans should have very strict management."
Chief Black took the talismans, still puzzled about how Xiao Yu took them.
"I can walk stairs, and I remember the password you entered to get into that room; I sneaked in, entered the password, and successfully took the talismans inside."
"Alright, I guess I have to change the password."
"Hey, Chief Black, you can't do that; if it weren't for me this time, Uncle Long would've been in danger in prison."
Chief Black could not refute Xiao Yu's words; who knew he would be forced into a psychological interrogation, resulting in him currently being on leave.
"Alright, maybe I should consider giving you a District 13 staff pass as well."
"Does that make me a District 13 elite agent?"
Xiao Yu asked excitedly.
"Well, that probably doesn't count."
Chief Black hurriedly waved his hand.
"Then how can he?"
Xiao Yu pointed at Broly and asked.
"Because you have Jackie Chan as a responsible uncle; I don't want your Uncle Long coming to my door questioning the hiring of a middle-school-student niece as an agent."
Chief Black hurriedly explained.
"Uh, okay."
Hearing this, Xiao Yu deflated like a punctured ball.
"However, when you grow up, if you still want to be an agent, I think District 13 will welcome you."
Seeing this, Chief Black added.
And in his judgment, Xiao Yu is indeed a good seedling for an agent.
"Ah, then it's a deal."
Xiao Yu cheered up again.
"Uh, Chief Black, can I start the assessment now?"
Tag asked.
"Holding the talismans, we can start; but if you find this kid isn't your match, I hope you'll try not to harm him."
"Rest assured, I still like children very much."
Tag went up with the talismans; Tag was grabbed by the hand by Broly; Tag was thrown out by Broly.
This man fell to the ground, the whole person somewhat dazed, and this process from start to finish took less than 2 seconds.
"Did I complete the assessment?"
Broly asked after throwing the man out.
"Oh, I think, yes, you completed the assessment."
Chief Black rubbed his chin; he had imagined the Hell boy might be formidable, but didn't expect him to be this formidable — in the blink of an eye he defeated District 13's elite veteran agent Tag, who was even holding talismans.
"This isn't scientific."
Tag climbed up; Broly used a clever technique to throw him, and he wasn't injured.
"But it's magical, isn't it?"
Chief Black said; after the Saint Lord resurrection incident, he had begun to believe in magic.
"You've passed the assessment; I think we should discuss the compensation now."
Chief Black began talking about compensation.
"District 13 agents have three ranks: Junior Investigator, Senior Investigator, and Technical Specialist; the highest I can offer you is Technical Specialist treatment — that is, 140,000 US dollars per year.
Of course, this is just the base salary; you can also get a free dormitory in Section 13, and every day there are free nutrition meals specially paired by a nutritionist to eat.
If you don't plan to live in District 13, and choose to rent a room and reside outside, you can get a housing subsidy; similarly, meals are the same, and additionally there is a commuting transportation subsidy……
The salary of District 13 agents isn't very high, but there are many welfare subsidies, especially medical care which is the biggest part, and this is not only enjoyed by the agent themselves, but also includes their family members.
"And working hours, for a specially hired technical expert like you, it's flexible work; only when supernatural events appear that need you to solve them do you need to work, all other times are paid leave. Oh, right, when on a mission, there's also a high-risk mission subsidy, generally 30% of the annual salary."
"Broly, if you feel there's no problem, we can sign an employment contract right now."
"Besides money, can I get any other compensation?"
Broly discovered that the compensation here seemed to be only money.
"What else do you want, a private plane, or a luxury sports car?"
Chief Black asked.
"Do you have Talismans?"
"Uh……"
The boy's words made Chief Black freeze for a moment.
"You need Talismans?"
"Yes."
"What do you need Talismans for?"
Chief Black was somewhat confused; agents who got Talismans still weren't a match for the boy before him.
"I want to use them to give to Xiao Yu."
"Eh?!" *2
Both Xiao Yu and Chief Black were somewhat surprised.
"You want Talismans, just to give to me?"
"Mm."
"But, what do you want to give me Talismans for?"
Xiao Yu was very surprised.
"Just now, weren't you asking what I came to this world for? I haven't said yet; now I can tell you. I came to this world to search for a capture target girl who can agree to become my wife, and Xiao Yu, you are such a girl."
"Ah?!"
Chief Black opened his mouth wide; Xiao Yu's mouth opened even wider than his. Becoming someone's wife or whatever, for her who was still in middle school, wasn't it too early?
"My purpose in finding a wife is to obtain Happiness Value, and the Talisman in your hand seems to be able to be treated as an extra capture target; giving you the Talisman, I can obtain more Happiness Value when you agree to become my wife."
Latest novel at ⊥⊥⊥ first release!
After Broly went through an introduction and explanation of Happiness Value, Xiao Yu only then understood that what the boy wanted actually shouldn't be a wife, but should be Happiness Points exchanged from Happiness Value; it's just that agreeing to become the other party's wife is one of the links for the other party to obtain Happiness Points.
"So, I don't need to do some intimate actions like boyfriend and girlfriend would do with you, right?"
Xiao Yu asked confirmingly.
"If you want to do them, I can cooperate; but if you don't want to do them, you can also not do them."
Broly nodded.
"Hey, Xiao Yu, I think you need to consider; your Long Shu definitely won't let you date early."
Seeing Xiao Yu's thoughtful look, Chief Black hurriedly reminded her.
"Chief, don't worry; this isn't early dating. I think what Broly truly needs is just a sincere friendship."
The Talisman was returned, Broly got a new job, and was also advanced a month's salary, about 10,000 US Dollars.
He didn't stay to lodge; because Xiao Yu was very interested in the stories on him, she took him back happily instead.
"Oh my God, the love story about to appear between children, I think I have to call Jackie Chan to tell him."
Valley Reformatory; when Jackie Chan learned from Chief Black that Broly had ideas about his niece, he almost jumped up, and at this time he recalled what Broly said he wanted to do after coming out of the Gate of Hell; that kid actually wasn't joking.
"I must go out, Chief Black."
"Letting you out requires some procedure."
"The faster the better."
When that evening Jackie Chan sat in a helicopter back to San Francisco, not even changing out of his prison uniform, rushing home anxiously, what he saw was Xiao Yu gesturing excitedly telling the story of battling the Mafia.
"Xiao Yu, Broly didn't do anything to you, right?"
Jackie Chan asked somewhat nervously.
"What could Broly do? He looks even smaller than me. Rest assured, Long Shu; what Broly wants isn't a wife; he wants a companion who can provide him Happiness Value, a true good friend, and I, having also experienced extraordinary things, have no common topics with same-age people; I can become the friend he needs."
After an afternoon of chatting, Xiao Yu had already understood Broly quite a bit, and she didn't develop any romantic thoughts toward the Saiyan boy, but did have the intention to join the Crystal Palace, because she was very interested in the Isekai, and also interested in Broly's stories from the Isekai.
"Is it like that?"
Jackie Chan was still somewhat worried.
"Long Shu, you look properly; isn't it like that?"
Xiao Yu hooked her arm around Broly's shoulder, standing beside the boy like good brothers; her height was even a bit taller than Broly.
"Uh……"
Jackie Chan had nothing to say; his niece's physical development originally wasn't much, and Broly was even younger than his niece; it was just because of the strength that defeated him and Tru that Jackie Chan's impression of the boy was somewhat biased toward an adult.
But looking now, aren't these just two elementary students? Although in the United States, elementary student pregnancy accidents aren't non-existent, Xiao Yu is still trustworthy.
"Broly, can I ask, how old are you?"
"According to the Crystal Palace's algorithm, I'm 14 years old."
Broly answered Jackie Chan honestly.
"Ah, then isn't that the same age as Xiao Yu?"
"Jackie Chan, young people's business you worry less about; Xiao Yu, although a bit naughty, is a child with her own mind."
Dad was a bit worried when he first got the call from Jackie Chan, but after seeing Xiao Yu chatting happily with Broly, those worries were gone.
After all, a boy who looked even younger than his own great-niece — if the two of them really made a mistake, it was hard to say who should go to prison.
"Speaking of which, Jackie Chan, shouldn't you go find a girlfriend too? At your age, yet not even one girlfriend — don't you plan to get married in the future?"
In the evening, while eating together at the dinner table, Dad couldn't help but say this to Jackie Chan.
"Ah?!"
Hearing this, Jackie Chan froze a bit; he hadn't expected that after rushing back in such a hurry, he'd instead be pressed by his dad about a girlfriend.
"Dad, I'm an archaeologist — sometimes I have to go on business trips; where would I find time to date? Even if I did, we'd definitely break up in the end, right?"
"Hmm, that won't do. How about this, Jackie Chan — quit your archaeologist job and go find a stable one?"
Jackie Chan: "..."
How had he never discovered before that his dad was such an elder who cared about his own marital situation?
"I think Little Snake can be Uncle Long's girlfriend!"
Just then, Xiao Yu raised her hand and said.
"Eh, who is Little Snake?"
Dad was a bit curious.
"That's a little thief."
Jackie Chan hurriedly said, glaring at his own niece: "Xiao Yu, don't butt in and make trouble!"
The antique shop's dinner table was still quite lively; Broly felt it had a real life atmosphere just watching.
After dinner, he helped wash the bowls, then went to the room he rented near the antique shop.
"Broly, see you tomorrow!"
After seeing him there, Xiao Yu waved goodbye.
And the Happiness Value on her had already reached 11 points.
This is a somewhat strange capture target girl; Xiao Yu doesn't want to become his wife, but indicates willingness to join the Crystal Palace and become his good friend.
"Left Hell today, encountered a strange capture target..."
Broly lay on the soft bed Tru helped buy, and spoke in the group chat room, telling some things that happened today.
"Not a wife, but a Crystal Palace Official Member who's a friend?"
The other wives learned of it and started discussing — this capture target really is a bit too special.
After discussion, their conclusion was no problem, just keep them distinguished.
One less person coming to share their man — they'd be delighted, how could they refuse.
Besides, as long as there are Happiness Points to get, who cares whether the other party becomes a wife or not.
Of course, if unwilling to be a wife, some Crystal Palace functions should also be restricted a bit — for example, usage permissions for the Crystal Palace Internal Space and such.
