“???” Alex’s words left Natasha, Nick Fury, and the others speechless.
Street fighting (Hulk), killing people in public (Abomination), assaulting law enforcement in public (General Ross and his group), and public group fighting (criminals in Hell’s Kitchen).
‘If someone like you is a law-abiding citizen, then wouldn’t everyone who actually follows the law be a model citizen?’ Complaints aside, business still had to be handled.
After discussion within SHIELD’s think tank, Alex’s request was approved.
A free and powerful helper had come knocking on their door.
There was no reason not to use him.
Compared to the strength Minato had displayed, those mission rewards were insignificant.
After all, they had already paid ten million dollars.
SHIELD didn’t care about this small amount.
However, SHIELD’s think tank also had some concerns.
‘The seal in Times Square could be damaged at any moment, releasing the extremely powerful Nine-Tailed Demon Fox.’ ‘You are the only person who might be able to stop all of this, yet instead of immediately searching for clues or trying to become stronger, you’re thinking about making money.’ ‘What is wrong with you?’ This question was tactfully passed to Alex through Natasha.
“Hah~ That’s what you’re worried about?”, Alex looked dismissive, “Do you think someone at my level can just become stronger whenever they want?” “Since getting stronger is difficult, what’s the point of training?
I might as well earn money to support myself.” “And those people trying to destroy the seal are hiding very well.
If they don’t reveal themselves, there’s no way to find them.” “In a situation like this, all we can do is follow whatever small clues we can find, and we have to do it secretly so we don’t alert them.” “That means I’m helping SHIELD on the surface while investigating in secret.
I thought you would have figured that out already, so I didn’t bother explaining it.
But apparently…” Immediately, most members of SHIELD’s think tank turned red with embarrassment.
Only a few veterans remained calm.
Meanwhile, those feeling ashamed couldn’t help complaining in their minds, ‘That does make sense, but we don’t know your situation.
How are we supposed to think of that?’ ‘However, “support myself”?
Does this Minato have a family?’ In the end, Natasha received another position: Minato’s personal mission coordinator.
Her main responsibilities were selecting and finding missions for Minato, confirming mission completion, and issuing mission rewards.
As for the honey trap plan, it changed from something that absolutely had to be carried out to something that would depend on the situation.
Clearly, even if the chance was very small, SHIELD did not want to risk upsetting Minato because of it.
Poor little SHIELD~ During the following week, Alex successfully pushed Minato’s role-playing progress to fifty percent.
This was how he did it.
First, throughout that week, Alex completed SHIELD missions as if he were going to work every day.
At eight o’clock every morning, he appeared beside Natasha on time.
At six o’clock every evening, he left on time and returned to his residence.
Of course, he told Natasha that he was picky about where he slept, so he returned to his home in Konoha Village each night.
With a bug-level spatial ninjutsu like the Flying Thunder God Technique, SHIELD could only believe whatever Alex said.
It wasn’t as if they could expose the lie.
During the time he spent with Natasha, Alex also showed off his acting skills.
He pretended to be seriously carrying out missions while secretly investigating things, when in reality he was simply carrying out missions seriously.
This three-layer deception boosted Alex’s acting skills considerably.
During the process, Alex gained twelve percent role-playing progress.
Completing ten relatively easy SHIELD missions earned him one hundred thousand dollars in rewards, along with ten percent role-playing progress.
The remaining two percent taught Alex something important: missions commissioned by superheroes, or in other words famous figures in the Marvel world, granted different amounts of role-playing progress than missions from ordinary people.
The role-playing progress gained from ordinary people was far lower than that gained from missions commissioned by famous Marvel characters.
These famous characters weren’t celebrities.
They were superheroes and supervillains.
For example, Alex helped an ordinary person teach a bully a lesson and received a newspaper as a reward.
That process only gave him 0.1% role-playing progress.
For comparison, Alex used Black Widow as a test case.
He helped Black Widow teach a bad guy a lesson and received a dinner as payment.
That process actually gave him 1.9% role-playing progress.
A difference of nineteen times.
That was why ten SHIELD missions had only provided ten percent progress.
The people involved weren’t superheroes or supervillains.
They were merely agents and spies with little fame.
Alex immediately decided that in the future, he would focus on completing missions commissioned by superheroes or supervillains whenever possible.
At this point, together with the previous twenty-eight percent, he had reached forty percent role-playing progress.
The remaining ten percent was also completed during that same week.
It came from Dr.
Bruce Banner.
