People are in Marvel, and the system is working as a worker

Chapter 16 Pepper’s Commission



Old Earl's life is very simple. He goes to work in the morning and takes Chloe to school. He picks Chloe up from school at almost three o'clock in the afternoon. The two go back to the supermarket, and then go home together after get off work at 05:30.

They would stay until about eight o'clock if Mike wanted a treat.

Hell's Kitchen after nine o'clock is full of demons, and the streets are unsafe.

When Earl Sr.'s original apartment is up for rent, he and Chloe will move here.After all, Earl Sr.'s apartment was too small, and Chloe was growing up and needed a separate room.

After eight o'clock, Mike and Skye were usually the only ones left in the supermarket, watching TV and talking nonsense together.

Being alone and alone... well, it's not awkward at all.

After getting familiar with each other, Skye let herself go, often sitting on the chair in a slovenly manner, grabbing potato chips with one hand and picking her feet with the other.

Sometimes he would point his butt at Mike and make a "poof" or a series of "poofs", blatantly and deliberately releasing toxic gases, and then he would collapse on the sofa and laugh "quacking" until he was out of breath.

I didn’t expect Skye to be like this!

presumptuous!

However, Mike went out and fooled around less and less frequently.

“This saves money!”

Mike gave himself an excuse.

After several ups and downs, with a total decline of more than 18 points, Stark Group's stock has now stabilized.After all, the Stark Group is a corporate group with a mature operating system and manager system. It will not fall apart because of one person, just like when Howard Stark died unexpectedly.

Tony Stark's role in the Stark Group is undoubted. He is the group's genius engineer and icon, but his role in management is much smaller than that of Obadiah and Pepper.

"It's almost time to stop."

Mike plans to close his position tomorrow and has already made a lot of money.

No wonder some people say that even a pig can fly when standing on the wind, let alone a reborn person with small wings.

Skye was taking stock, looking intently at the computer.

Mike made coffee for her and watched TV quietly until the supermarket door was pushed open.

"welcome."

Automatic induction electronic synthesis sounds.

Thinking that a guest had arrived, Skye subconsciously sat up straight with a smile.

A woman in a dark gray vertical striped suit and skirt came in, wearing sunglasses.

He is a white man with blond hair and a thin mouth. His delicate nose and cheeks are dotted with cute little freckles.

Both capable and beautiful.

Inexplicably, a touch of hostility arose in his heart, which made Skye very irritable.

"It's just that he's a bit old, and it's not Mike's style."

Skye's hostility faded as she thought about this.

The woman in a suit and skirt took off her sunglasses. She put on heavy eye makeup, but it couldn't hide the redness and swelling, and she felt deeply tired.

"So familiar..."

Skye's eyes suddenly widened, "Isn't this the famous Pepper Potts, Tony Stark's assistant? Why is she here?"

"Is it possible that Mike has something to do with the Stark Group and is a low-key, super-rich second generation?"

Thinking of Tony Stark's disappearance, Skye imagined a bloody drama about the grudges between wealthy families.

"Hello."

Pepper's voice was a little hoarse.

"You, hello."

Skye was actually a little nervous.

"Is Mr. Mike Tang here?" Pepper asked.

"Yes, he..."

Skye turned her head and saw Mike who was yawning and picking at his eyes.

Skye: ( ̄ェ ̄;)

"That's me." Mike stood up and stretched, "Hello, Miss Potts."

Happy Hogan, who was in close protection, stared at Mike's eye-button hand. If Mike dared to use this hand to shake Pepper's hand, he wouldn't mind teaching Mike what it means to punch hard.

Mike just said, "Sit down, Skye... make two cups of wolfberry tea."

At this time, Skye was very employee-conscious.

"This is a specialty tea from China. It has good health-preserving effects and is especially suitable for..."

Mike wanted to say that it is especially suitable for greasy middle-aged men like Tony Stark who don't understand restraint.Considering that Stark's life or death is uncertain, this is very unemotional.

"Thank you."

Pepper took a small bite and found the taste a bit strange, but not unpleasant.

She glanced at Skye, who was standing behind Mike, with scorching eyes and a desire to investigate, pretending to be a secretary, and said: "The things we are going to talk about next... need to be kept confidential."

"Oh, it has something to do with Mr. Stark."

"Yes."

"Oh." Mike said solemnly: "Skye is not only my employee, but also a friend. Just like Mr. Stark trusts you unconditionally, I trust her."

When Skye heard "I believe her", her head pounded and her heart pounded.

"He believes me!"

"He believes me!"

"..."

Hearing what Mike said, Pepper felt mixed emotions in her heart. She thought about it and said slowly: "I was introduced by Phil Coulson, an agent from the Homeland Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency."

"I know, I'm worried about my hairline."

Pepper: "..., yes, it's him. He said you are a mercenary with special abilities and can do things that ordinary people can't do."

Speaking of mercenaries, Pepper couldn't help but look at Mike. He didn't have the toughness of common mercenaries at all.

"It's more appropriate to say private detective or mastermind." This is Mike's positioning of his profession. After all, no mercenary will accept the assignment of writing assignments.

"Miss Potts, what is your commission?"

"Tony, find Tony, help me, please find Tony." At this time, Pepper was helpless and not at all like the future CEO of Stark Group.

"This... I can only say that the success rate of the commission so far is [-]%."

Mike saw a white light coming from Pepper... and a golden light.

Golden light?

This is the first time Mike has seen it.

At this time, lines of text messages were generated in his mind——

[Pepper Little’s Commission: Find and rescue the missing Tony Stark]

[Commission: US$1000000 (the system takes 90% after deducting fees)]

[Mission description: Find the kidnapped Tony Stark in the vast mountains of Afghanistan, rescue him from the Ten Rings Gang, and send him back to the United States to reunite with Pepper Potts. 】

Mike took a breath and said: "Before accepting the commission, as usual, there are some things to explain..."

Pepper said anxiously: "Money is not a problem!"

"Yes, yes, money is not the problem, lack of money is the problem..." Mike complained in his heart, but said seriously: "Please listen to me, Miss Potts."

Pepper said: "Sorry, I'm just too impatient."

"understand."

Mike didn't mind, for the sake of the big client and the unknown golden light.

"First of all, the commission fee is 100 million U.S. dollars, which must be paid in one lump sum before the commission begins. If the task is successful, there will be no additional fees. If the task fails, no fees will be refunded."

"No problem." Pepper agreed.

One million US dollars may be an astronomical figure to ordinary people.In Stark's hands, it was only the price of a big toy.

Happy's expression changed, but he hesitated to speak. He felt that Mike was like a liar.

Later, Skye couldn't help but exclaimed: "You are robbing me!"

Mike proudly said: "How can robbery be so profitable?"

In fact, my heart bleeds.

System commission, card fee, how much money can I get?It's just the system beating workers, not as much money as stock trading, robbing the rich and giving to the poor.

Happy: "..."

He is indeed a liar!

"Don't make trouble!"

Mike rolled his eyes at Skye and continued: "Secondly, the mission location is in Afghanistan. I am not familiar with the place. I need accommodation, guides, helicopters and pilots on call 24 hours a day, and other conveniences related to the commission."

Pepper said: "No problem."

Mike said: "Finally, I need the intelligence you have so far, the areas you have searched, and other known information."

After thinking for a while, Pepper said: "Currently, those officially involved in the search and rescue of Tony include mercenaries hired by the U.S. and Afghan military, SHIELD, and Stark Group. I don't guarantee that I will be able to get all the information, but I will try my best. .”

"In that case, I'll take this order."

As soon as he finished speaking, white and golden light groups floated in front of Mike's eyes and disappeared between his eyebrows.

system hint:

[Soul energy +1].

[Destiny Energy +1].

Destiny energy?

When Mike was confused, he had more information about the energy of destiny in his mind:

[The generation of destiny energy is related to characters who can affect the main line of the current world. 】

[The mixture of destiny energy and soul energy will produce a more advanced fruit - the destiny fruit. 】

Mike understood that it was the entrustment of plot characters that could generate destiny energy.

Some people think the words "looking for pets" and "writing homework" on Mike's business card are just funny.Not really.

The generation of [Soul Energy] is related to the emotion invested by the client, and in many cases has nothing to do with the amount of the trust.

"What will the Fruit of Destiny produce?"

Mike was looking forward to it.
