Chapter 38: Big reward
After that, Zoe disbanded the agents around him.
And since Bruce was moving to his new dormitory, Zoe told him they should meet at around 7 pm.
Soon after, Bruce’s reward for protecting Parker was delivered. Since it was only a level 5 mission, the reward he got was only 100,000 USD.
The agents that were level 5 and above had a special subsidy, though they did not have wages.
For example, they could do some specific tasks, the subsidies for such activities was very high.
Bruce was now a level 6 agent, which could be said to be in the middle-level management of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Regardless, It was still far, far away from top management.
Next, he began to read Parker’s design notes on the Spiderweb launcher, and also his experiments done during that period.
Because Parker’s records were very detailed, after several failures, he successfully mastered the production method of the Spiderweb launcher.
After seeing this, Bruce felt more and more the importance of a brilliant mind.
If he ever saw Iron Man, he definitely had to get his hands on his Wisdom ability.
At 7 pm, he walked out of the door.
According to Zoe’s arrangements, he went to a place within the Avengers Base. In this area, only level 6 agents and above were welcomed.
After he got in, he immediately saw Zoe.
Except for Zoe however, there were dozens of level 6 and 7 agents in front of him.
“Bruce, come here,” said Zoe.
Bruce walked over directly without hesitation. They seemed to be waiting for something.
And at this time, at the end of the darkness, two people appeared.
Then, a flashlight illuminated the dark area.
Some agents immediately closed their eyes to prevent them from being affected by the strong light.
From the darkness, appeared Phil Coulson, and beside him, a woman.
Phil Coulson had been recently promoted to a level 9 agent. And the woman beside him, was Maria Hill, similarly a level 9 agent.
The two were real big shots in S.H.I.E.L.D. They were the left and right hand of the Director himself, Nick Fury.
Seeing that two level 9 agents had appeared at once, all the agents immediately became serious.
Since two appeared at the same time, that meant that the task they would be given was a very important one.
Phil Coulson walked over, glancing at the surrounding agents with a smile.
The agents in front of him could be said to be the elite members of S.H.I.E.L.D.
“I am here because I have a very important task to give out. The reward for this task, is 5 million USD! However, to participate, you have to prove yourself first.”
Phil Coulson’s voice was not loud, but it shocked the nearby agents nonetheless.
Five million USD was a rather large sum, even for them.
Bruce however, just gave a slight smile at the whole situation. After all, this task was practically prepared for him.
“Very good, it seems that you all have an interest in this task. Next, we have prepared a test, to see if you are qualified for this task.”
After all, not everyone was qualified. In the end, only one could accept the task.
Every single agent was sitting upright, quietly waiting for Coulson’s next words.
“The test is very simple. In the Avengers Base Area C training ground, there is a complex terrain set-up. All of you will enter that place, and finally, whoever beats the others and walks out, will be the man that will take the task.”
Phil Coulson pointed in a direction where there were broken walls.
“You are not allowed to kill others. If you suffer a serious injury, the battle suit will release a yellow smog, and you will hence be eliminated.”
It made sense, after all, these were level 6 and level 7 agents. A group of elite members of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Even if it was S.H.I.E.L.D. it would be difficult to deal with so many casualties.
“Some agents may have special abilities..” Coulson reminded the agents.
Some contracts had special abilities, so naturally, there would be people among S.H.I.E.L.D. that also had special abilities.
After Coulson’s reminder, Bruce’s eyes shone.
It seemed that he would need to touch every single agent here.
At this time, Phil Coulson stepped forward and glanced at all the agents.
“Okay, now go!”
In an instant, everyone’s eyes turned sharp!
