Chapter 182 The Gap Between Power Users and Power Users
"Are you still willing to be my assistant here? If I try to silence some people before exorcism, people will think that I am a violent maniac, and I will lose my sense of mystery, and your strength is enough to make those people People who don't want to be quiet are quiet, how about it, think about it." Thinking of Jessica's usefulness, Charles sent an invitation to Jessica, waiting for her answer.

"Of course, I came here just for this job." The first time she met someone with superpowers in reality rather than in a newspaper made Jessica Jones very curious and immediately agreed to Charles' invitation.

"Well, I'll start work tomorrow, and I'll pay you three for the exorcism. There's no problem." Charles said very generously.

"Shouldn't the job of an assistant be paid by the hour? Why do I feel like I have become a partner in terms of remuneration?" Jessica was stunned by the sharing method proposed by Charles, who always felt as if she It seems to have fallen into a big hole.

"Really? I have always been divided like this before. It is very difficult to calculate in another way, so it has always been like this, and you don't want to?" Charles has no plan to modify this division method, and the hourly salary method in the United States is still quite Expensive, judging from Charles' exorcism income in the past few months, it's still more cost-effective to share.

"Of course, the partner method is very good. Everyone will be free and not too restrictive." Jessica thought for a while, and agreed to Charles's sharing method. She has no job now and has blackmailed her boss. There's still enough money to splurge for a while, and it's not bad to see the working conditions of an exorcist in New York.

In this way, Charles's exorcism office welcomed its first non-resident population, and Jessica also started her nine-to-five working life again.

"Charles, can you tell me how many exorcism orders you get in a month?" After living without income for a week, Jessica, who was sitting at another desk, couldn't stand it any longer. Seeing a life of doing nothing, he opened his mouth and questioned Charles, who was doing nothing more than himself.

"Before the New York War, there were still a few businesses a month, and the income was still good. But after the New York War, most of those who were frightened began to feel like they had awakened powers like the Hulk or were possessed by aliens. Technology has taken control, so I started consulting the Alien Research Association. Therefore, this is the cold winter period for this industry, and it will pass."

Charles started the trick of fooling around. Like every boss, he wanted his only employee, Jessica, to understand that it's not that you entered the wrong industry, but that the timing of entering the industry is not very good. Persevere and persist until spring.

"Why do I hear from your words that I have not entered the cold winter period of this industry, but the ice age period of this industry? Charles, you have to explain carefully what is going on with your income. I don't Believe that a low-paying career that relies on exorcism can get you something as powerful as Victoria."

Jessica didn't do nothing this week. Jessica, who has a talent for detectives, already has a certain understanding of the current situation of the exorcism industry. Charles's exorcism firm is already regarded as one of the best in the exorcism industry in New York. It is a relatively well-known firm, because all the problems of the people who enter this firm can be solved by Charles. It is because I heard that Charles, an exorcist, is very capricious and often closes down to do nothing, so the business is sluggish.

But Charles' exorcism office has been open for business now, and there is no business coming. It seems that the exorcism business is really difficult to do.

Let’s talk about Charles’ smart housekeeper Victoria. Jessica was really shocked when she first met Victoria. Although in this Marvel movie universe, Iron Man Tony Stark leads the earth’s technological level, but The smart butler Jarvis is still Tony's personal property, and Tony himself has no intention of promoting it, so Jessica, who is just an ordinary person economically, has never seen such an advanced smart butler.

The smart housekeepers on the market can help people manage their work and rest time. Jessica can no longer afford to control some smart machines. Victoria can form a human-shaped projection, and her actions make people feel that someone is really arranging them. If this kind of smart program appeared on the market for Charles's daily life, it would only be astronomically expensive.

So before Charles told Jessica her source of income, Jessica couldn't understand how she earned so much money just by exorcism. Ability to rob houses?
"It's nothing. I occasionally go out to earn some extra money. That's how Victoria got it. As for the extra money, I used my superpowers to blackmail government departments and blackmailed Tony Stark several times. You have to know, they all Rich and don't care about money, so I'm pretty rich now."

Charles did not hide Jessica's source of income, and said things very nonchalantly that made Jessica want to die.

"So, your so-called exorcism is just a rich man playing house games? Have you considered that I, a person with an ordinary income, is still unemployed, waiting to earn some wages to support myself?"

Jessica finally understands why Charles, who has a daughter, is not nervous about such a cold-talking business. Guys who have blackmailed Iron Man and government departments, if they can still live and continue to do business, how can they have no money? .

"Relax, at most, if you have extra money in the future, I will take you to earn it together. To be honest, the government's money is very easy to earn, as long as their leaders nod and agree, they can earn as much as they want."

Seeing that Jessica was starting to go crazy, Charles quickly calmed down. Although it was an assistant that he ran into, there was an assistant with super powers that would make Charlie go straight up. Charles didn't want this rare assistant ran away.

"Government department, which government department will hire an exorcist to do things, even if this exorcist is a superpower?" Jessica heard what Charles said, and got Er asked. FBI, CIA and other departments themselves It's not that I don't understand, the bureaucracy is extremely heavy, and such things as consultants have to be qualified at the professor level. How can Charles, a folk exorcist, climb such a high branch.

"S.H.I.E.L.D., you should have heard of it. It's the S.H.I.E.L.D. that brought the Avengers to save the world in the Battle of New York." Charles also gave Jessica a clue, and the famous S.H.I.E.L.D. Well, as an assistant to a SHIELD consultant, you won't be short of money in the future.

"Of course, which person with superpowers doesn't know SHIELD? You know, I was warned by them not to use superpowers to do illegal things easily, and there is even a long-term supervisor, although my supervisor is not very good. Mind my business, but when he wants to mind, I get annoyed."

Compared with Charles, who dared to single out the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. at the beginning of the game, other superpowers on Earth trembled under the management of S.H.I.E.L.D. Chen Haoran, who could set fire, was like this, but Jessica was not so good. People who hide their superpowers will naturally be warned by S.H.I.E.L.D.
