Chapter 1850: Sell, Sell, Sell, Buy, Buy, Buy

Natasha’s heart jumped. She couldn’t help but point at the furniture and the odds and ends. “You bought these with credit points?”
Luke was clearly confused. “Of course. It’s too troublesome to transport them ourselves.”
As he spoke, he kindly comforted the female agent. “Don’t worry, we’ll pay for this first. When the mission is completed, we’ll just count them as past of the costs.”
Natasha’s heart jumped again. B*stard! You definitely think my debt isn’t big enough, or you’re a sales rep sent by the bigshot!
A moment later, enjoying the blast of water from the shower head in the bathroom, the female agent sighed in satisfaction. “It feels too good.”
!!
She felt that she would start to stink if she didn’t take a shower twice a day.
Now that she was back from the cold outside, the hot shower was perfect.
After she came out of the shower, she sat on the couch and drank the hot coffee that Luke poured for her. She had to admit, “Fine, this is indeed quite comfortable.”
Luke looked at her blankly. “Did you think it would be uncomfortable?”
Natasha: …Do you think the poor will feel comfortable if you pay for them without letting them know?
She was quite self-aware.
Compared with Batman and White Wolf, she was definitely poor.
As a member of the Avengers, she could get Tony to foot the bill for official matters, but she had to pay for personal things.
Her professionalism prevented her from reselling information on the Avengers, and there weren’t many other things she could sell. It really wasn’t easy to earn credit points.
The Avengers did earn 50 credit points a month.
However, the bigshot had a lot of good stuff. These credit points weren’t enough at all, let alone to repay her debt.
Cursing inwardly, she asked casually, “Where’s Knight?”
Reading the intelligence Natasha had just gathered, Luke replied without raising his head, “He’s busy and has already gone back.”
Natasha frowned. “This was a mission he took on.”
Luke raised his head and smiled. “Sorry, but let me officially confirm: Are you willing to take me on as your partner for this mission?”
Natasha smiled gently at him and put on her lenses. “Let me consult Knight first.”
She contacted Knight on the team channel, and confirmed that he had indeed handed the mission to White Wolf.
If she didn’t like it, Knight would return, and White Wolf would leave.
Natasha hesitated when she read the reply.
Batman was definitely more reliable, but he had personally recommended White Wolf as someone who could be trusted.
White Wolf’s combat ability wasn’t bad. Natasha had carefully watched the video of how he fought the three special force team members in the car. His ability to change the trajectory of the warhead in midair was even stranger.
More importantly, White Wolf was easier to talk to than Batman.
Thinking for a moment, she smiled at White Wolf. “Then, do you have any other objections to how we’re splitting the gains?”
With a careless expression, Luke waved his hand. “When it comes to friends, I don’t mind showing a little more sincerity. We’ll go with what you and Old Black decided. Once this is over, however, I’m willing to give 10% to the beautiful Miss Natasha. How does that sound?”
Natasha’s heart jumped.
Previously, Batman had agreed to a minimum 30-70 split. Now that she could get more, of course she would go for it.
“Deal.” She agreed decisively.
Whenever she crooked a finger or gave a little look before, stupid men would want to give her money.
It hadn’t been easy to meet someone with more money than brains like that in the last two years.
She was getting old! Natasha sighed inwardly, and this fake black baldie who was grinning brightly at her looked more and more pleasing to the eye.
…
Less than two days later, she experienced what it meant to cry in pain amidst pleasure.
It started after a day of reconnaissance. When she returned, she saw a certain person in loose sportswear exercising.
His movements were very slow but smooth; clearly they were the product of long training.
As a courtesy, she didn’t disturb him and simply watched silently.
The dumb smile the man usually wore was also nowhere to be seen on that calm and composed face.
His movements were soothing and gentle, and pleasing to the eye.
After more than 20 minutes, Luke was finally done. He turned around and smiled at her. “You’re back.”
Natasha nodded, curiosity flas.h.i.+ng in her eyes. “Hm, what are you practicing? Can you tell me?”
Luke said, “It’s a little complicated. Shall we talk again after you wash up?”
Natasha agreed.
20 minutes later, she was sitting on the couch in loose home clothes and drinking warm black tea. “White Wolf, can you tell me what you were doing earlier?”
Luke nodded and turned serious. “Before we start, you have to promise me that you won’t tell anyone about this. It’ll be best if you keep it a secret forever.”
Natasha nodded slowly. “Okay, I agree.”
Luke smiled again. “Come, let me show you something good.”
He projected a file in front of them.
A few minutes later, Natasha wore an astonished expression even as she rejoiced inwardly. She subconsciously gave Luke a meaningful look. “White Wolf, are you saying that you can teach me this?”
Luke nodded. “Of course. We’re friends, after all.”
Natasha was about to praise him, when he said, “But you have to buy the right to use it from the bigshot first.”
Natasha: …Are you kidding me? You’re definitely the bigshot’s sales rep!
Ten minutes later, the female agent looked at the figure of her credit balance which the bigshot had just sent her: -12,751.
The “1” in the front had just been added in exchange for a mysterious cultivation method called “XX Chi Refining Technique.”
It was said that this cultivation method was a secret that had been smuggled out of a certain Eastern super organization.
If this organization found out that she was cultivating this technique, Thor might have to take her to one of the other Nine Realms to escape.
Natasha didn’t care about that. It was already good enough that she had a place to run to; when she had been in the Red Room as a kid, escape hadn’t been an option at all.
As the saying went, you got what you paid for. The bigshot’s things absolutely weren’t fake or shoddy. There was a reason why they were expensive.
Just the description of the benefits in the file – physical buff, improved cell generation, sharp increase in destructive power, improved protection – was enough to tempt her.
10,000 credit points for a “super ability” she could train in to become stronger – what need was there for a bike?!
The bigshot had even entrusted “sales rep” White Wolf to show her some of the results of the cultivation as well as give her a full set of cultivation ‘cla.s.ses.’
Of course, there was no extra charge for these; they could be considered part of the Chi Refining Technique package.
At that moment, the female agent was finally 100% certain that despite the ‘White’ in his name, this black-hearted person was absolutely aiming for benefits out of this business.
In any case, whatever he gave her wouldn’t be for free.
