Chapter 275 Heroes assemble!
Ni Kun and Supergirl sat side by side behind a long table, looking at the young man who looked a little uneasy on the chair opposite.
"Name?" Supergirl said expressionlessly, "Codename? Superpower?"
The young man looked at the powerful Supergirl, his voice trembling with nervousness:
"My name is Dave Lezeski, my code name is Kick-Ass, and my superpower is immunity to pain."
"Immune to pain?" Supergirl glanced at the young man and slammed the table:
"Isn't this the malfunction of the pain nerves caused by the aftereffects of the surgery? You don't have any superpowers, what are you doing here?"
Kick-Ass defended himself:
"Although I don't have super powers, I'm pretty good at fighting. I can beat up several big guys..."
Supergirl curled her lips:
"We are going to save the world. Our enemies are at worst demons who kill without blinking an eye. We don't have time to play street hero games with you. Farewell, next one."
"Give me a chance. I, Kick-Ass, also want to save the world! I can even work for free!"
"go out!"
…
"Name? Codename? Superpower?"
"My name is Wesley. I don't have a code name. My superpowers are long-range shooting and gun fighting. Um, my bullets can turn..."
"Do you know what we are going to do?"
"Fight the devil and save the world."
“Are you mentally prepared for the risks involved?”
"certainly."
"Very good, you are accepted."
"Excuse me, regarding the reward..."
"Isn't it clearly stated in the advertisement? The base salary is $10,000 per day, and there are also piece-rate bonuses. Depending on the number and ability of demons killed, the bonuses range from $100 to $1 million. The death pension is $500,000, which will be paid out together with the salary and bonus, of course, that is after tax. If you don't want the money, you can also choose to exchange it for super equipment, strengthening potions, ability potions, etc..."
"Excuse me, what are the specific strengthening potions and ability potions?"
Ni Kun explained:
"There are four types of strengthening potions, which can strengthen physical fitness, strength, agility, and spirit respectively. Each potion is divided into four levels: basic, elementary, intermediate, and advanced. The higher the level, the stronger the strengthening effect, and of course the more expensive it is. As for the ability potion, after taking it, you can have an extra superpower. For example, battle cry, trample, aerial slash, etc...."
His exchange list had already been refreshed with various types of strengthening potions, ability potions, as well as many items such as enhanced suits, extraordinary weapons, special props, etc. in the cube space.
These things can be distributed as mercenary rewards to attract cannon fodder... oh no, heroes to join.
"Very good, I'm here just for the strengthening potion and ability potion. I'm in! When do I sign the contract?"
"Now."
…
"Name? Codename? Superpower?"
"My name is Mindy MacReady. Codename: Hit-Girl. My superpower is super coordination, which includes reaction ability, spatial orientation ability, proprioception ability, rhythm ability, balance ability, movement ability related to movement cognition, etc...."
"Okay, okay, I know all this. But judging from your appearance, you don't seem to be eighteen years old yet, right?"
"I have been following my father to kill people since I was ten years old... Of course, I killed bad guys. Every time I went out, I had to kill at least three or four bad guys. So far, my kill record has exceeded 300..."
"No matter how many murders you have committed, you are still under 18 years old."
"Give me a chance! I want to save the world, too! I can even help for free!"
"Why is this girl's line similar to that of Kick-Ass? Okay, stop yelling. You are too young to participate in this operation. Get out."
"Damn it... then please sign an autograph for me, Supergirl. I'm your fan."
“This is fine.”
"And you, handsome guy, are you Supergirl's boyfriend? Why haven't I seen you before? How long have you been together? Do you mind taking a picture with me?"
"Please don't seduce my lover in front of me. Otherwise I will throw you into the sea."
…
"Name? Codename? Superpower?"
"John Wick. Codename Nightmare. I don't seem to have any superpowers , but no matter how badly I'm injured, I can continue fighting after just a short rest. I once set a record of killing more than a hundred enemies in one battle while injured."
"Oh, Night Devil, I've heard of you. It's said that you once killed several elite killers with just a pencil. We welcome super killers like you to join us, but we hope you can understand that the opponents of this mission are completely different from the targets you have hunted before. Your gun skills and fighting skills may not be able to cause any harm to them."
"Unless you are immortal, as long as I can kill you, I will kill you for you to see. Of course, you may need to provide me with some special weapons."
"Okay John Wick, you're accepted. And as far as I know, you've retired from the business, so why did you apply for this mission?"
"I have offended the High Table and am being wanted by the High Table all over the world. I want to find a place to hide temporarily."
"In this case, I personally suggest that you choose strengthening potions, ability potions, and extraordinary items when you receive your rewards. In this way, after completing the mission, if you are still alive, the High Table's wanted hunt will not be worth mentioning."
"Thank you. I'll think about it."
…
"Name? Codename? Superpower?"
"Haha, we are all so familiar with each other, there is no need to ask these questions, right? Gracie, I didn't expect you to have a boyfriend. Don't you hate men? I always thought you were a lesbian..."
"Stop talking nonsense, Deadpool, and answer the question."
"Okay, okay, my name is Wade, my code name is Deadpool, and my superpower is that I am loved by everyone..."
"Please be serious."
"Don't you know my superpowers? I remember when we first met, you had some misunderstandings about me and tore me into two pieces..."
"So I regret not giving you a second look at you. Maybe after tearing you to pieces, I could burn you to ashes with a second look and flush you down the toilet, and that would shut you up forever."
"Sorry, that's impossible because I've already been burned to ashes..."
Ni Kun said:
"Okay Mr. Deadpool, you're accepted."
…
"Name? Codename? Superpower?"
"My name is Carrie, codename: Witch. My superpower is telekinesis..."
"How old are you?"
"Ten, eighteen years old..."
"You don't look like a ruthless person. You're as timid as a quail. I seriously doubt whether you have ever seen blood... Are you sure you want to join us?"
"Yes, yes..."
"Why?"
"I, I want to escape from this world..."
…
There are many "superheroes" who apply, but most of them are not serious people. Their abilities are also quite uneven. In Supergirl's opinion, most of them are just cannon fodder and will not live long.
So she firmly refused to allow minors to join.
If you're an adult, you die.
Anyway, the United States has a strong advantage of low human rights. So many people die from gun violence every year, so the death of a few superheroes is no big deal.
Having said that, superheroes who are extremely powerful and serious are basically "vigilantes" motivated by justice, and they will not become mercenaries for reward.
It's already ten o'clock in the evening.
While sorting out the contracts, Supergirl said to Ni Kun:
"I don't know what use these people we recruited today can have. If the situation is as serious as you said, these people will be completely useless. Including Deadpool, although he has an immortal body, his output is too weak."
"It's okay." Ni Kun said with a smile:
"At least the people we recruited today can basically use guns, and there are quite a few gun masters among them. Equipping them with some special gun bullets can be more or less useful. It's better than archers without any superpowers, right? By the way, can you ask your old friend Hela to help you out once?"
Supergirl shook her head with regret:
"Hela is dead."
"Ah?" Ni Kun was stunned: "How did he die?"
Supergirl shrugged:
"Of course she was beaten to death. Originally, Hela was immortal. As long as Asgard was not destroyed, her power would be endless and her body would never die.
"But her brother Thor is such a ruthless man that he released the fire giant Surtur, creating Ragnarok, which directly caused Surtur to destroy Asgard. Then Asgard exploded, and of course Hela died."
"Wasn't Thor banished by Hela?"
“He’s back again.”
Ni Kun's expression changed. This was the continuation of the plot of Thor 3. He quickly asked:
"So what happened next? Did Thor and the Asgardian survivors run into the Overlord of the Universe or something? Was Loki killed?"
"What universe overlord?"
"Thanos!"
"I haven't heard of it." Supergirl shook her head: "Thor and Loki are still floating in the universe, preparing to come to Earth and apply to enter the United States as refugees."
“Well, when Hela was in trouble, as a good friend, didn’t you go to help her?”
"How can I help?" Supergirl spread her hands. "That's her family affair. How can I, an outsider, interfere? Besides, who would have thought that Thor would be so cruel as to release the Fire Giant directly? By the time I realized something was wrong, Asgard had already exploded."
“Okay.” Ni Kun sighed with deep regret . Hila’s fighting ability was still quite strong. If she could be asked to help, she would be a very powerful helper. It’s a pity that she died like this...
"It's getting late, let's take a rest." Supergirl sorted out the contracts, stretched, and her hand smoothly went into his belt.
"Don't do it here... there are many outsiders living in the villa today."
The hired heroes who have passed the application and signed the contract will stay in the villa tonight. Tomorrow morning, they will follow Ni Kun to the world of The Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty.
"What are you afraid of? There are no outsiders here..."
As they were talking, Supergirl had already sat on Ni Kun unceremoniously.
"I've been busy all day today. I have to rush to the mutant prison tonight to bring those three extreme environmental terrorists here. Don't you want to reward me?"
"Okay, be gentle..."
