I'm in Marvel
Chapter 3 Gwen, You're Hired
In the rest area of the bookstore, Russell looked at the girl in front of him and remained silent.
He never expected that the first person to apply for the job would be the ghost spider he met last night.
"Russell."
Taking the lead to break the deadlock, Russell extended his hand.
"Gwen, Gwen Stacy."
Gwen reached out and held Russell's hand.
There was a little surprise on her face.
Obviously, she didn't expect that the owner of the bookstore would be the man she had a chance encounter with last night.
Pulling back his hand, Russell smiled slightly, looked at Gwen and teased: "Gwen, can I call you that? I'll still call you 'Ghost Spider'."
"You should always call me Gwen, Mr. Russell." Gwen was shy, and she was a little uncomfortable having her other identity called out.
"You can also call me Russell, sir. That's too strange." Russell responded gently.
"Okay, Russell." Gwen said in a more relaxed tone.
"Gwen, can you tell me what happened last night? Has the girl who was abducted by the vampire been found?"
Russell asked Gwen about yesterday's vampire incident.
In the past three months, vampires had appeared more and more frequently in New York, and he felt that something big was about to happen. If things go wrong, Russell plans to get out of the limelight.
Vampires don’t explode attribute points!
"Found it, but she has been transformed, damn vampire!" Gwen's tone became deeper when talking about the girl's experience.
"What should we do?"
"I sent her home first and let her family take care of her. She seemed to be frightened, poor girl."
"Are there many things like this recently? I mean vampires transforming into ordinary people." Russell continued to ask.
"I met three or four this week." Gwen frowned. Obviously, she also sensed something was wrong.
"Are there many vampires in this world?" Gwen was a little confused.
She came to this world accidentally half a month ago, and she doesn't understand the deeper things in this world. In her original world, there was no vampire species.
"I don't know, but they must know it themselves."
"You mean, we can ask a few vampires?"
Gwen looked at Russell, a little eager to try.
Facing Gwen's expectant eyes, Russell shied away: "It's not us, it's you, Ghost Spider! I'm just an ordinary person."
Gwen rolled her eyes: "Ordinary people can't kill a vampire with ultraviolet light without changing their face."
"My mental quality is just a little bit better." Russell pointed his fingers and made gestures to defend himself.
"Let's not talk about vampires for now. Can you tell me about another thing?" Russell changed the subject and asked about the 'big event' that happened last night.
He didn't want to be caught by Gwen to investigate the matter of vampires. Russell even wanted to prostitute Gwen for nothing.
Let Gwen investigate and he shares the information.
"Which thing?"
"I saw you on TV last night about the fight between two robots."
Russell is more interested in the follow-up to Iron Man and Iron Overlord than Dracula.
He wanted to know where the original plot would go astray after Spider-Man's intrusion.
"Of course, with the help of the ghost spider, we finally succeeded in defeating the evil Obadiah."
Gwen's tone became lighter as she talked about her superhero exploits last night.
Fighting evil and helping others bring her happiness and satisfaction.
"You mean, that tall, clumsy robot is Stark Industries COO Obadiah?
Another gold and red robot is Tony Stark? "Russell pretended not to know and said with admiration.
People who eat melons must also have the qualities of people who eat melons, and the emotional value cannot be less. "Shh! Don't tell this news." Gwen made a silencing gesture and lowered her voice to remind Russell.
"I understand, I understand." Russell nodded.
Unknowingly, Russell had sat next to Gwen.
Although there was no one else in the bookstore lounge, the two of them unconsciously stood side by side, lowering their heads and whispering.
"I heard that Tony Stark held a press conference this afternoon. Let's go watch it together?" Russell couldn't help but suggest as he thought of a certain famous scene.
"What's so interesting about that?" As one of the participants in last night's big event, Gwen already knew all kinds of inside information and was not interested in the press conference.
"Also... aren't we interviewing the reading room administrator?"
Russell's tone changed and he said seriously: "Gwen, you are hired!"
"ah!"
Gwen exclaimed, a little unable to keep up with Russell's rhythm.
Russell: “This job is not complicated, I believe you can do it, Gwen.
As for the job content, it mainly involves checking the identity of borrowers, maintaining order in the reading room, and preventing book theft.
How to do it is up to you. "
Gwen: "."
Gwen is confused, what should she do if she decides to do it?
Russell comforted him: "Don't feel any pressure. I am just running this reading room to pass the time. Profit or loss is not important.
As for salary, I don’t know what the market price is, so I’ll start with 10,000 per month. If you have no objection, we can sign the contract now. "
With that said, Russell went to print the contract.
"Wait a moment."
Gwen called to Russell.
Although they are all visitors from another world, unlike Russell, Gwen has lived in New York in another world for eighteen years.
Monthly salary is 10,000, and annual salary is 120,000. Her father, George Stacy, the Commissioner of the New York City Police Department, also makes less than this.
"Isn't the salary too high? In addition, can we not sign a contract?"
"We can discuss the salary again, but why not sign a contract?"
"Because... because... I"
Should I tell Russell that I am not from this world, but have traveled from a parallel universe and am now an illegal immigrant?
If Gwen hadn't experienced it herself, she wouldn't believe such a ridiculous thing?
Looking at Gwen who was talking incoherently and racking her brains to think of excuses, Russell couldn't help laughing.
"Haha! If you don't want to sign a contract, then don't sign a contract. Then let's talk about salary."
Seeing that Russell didn't continue to ask about the contract, Gwen breathed a sigh of relief.
"Monthly salary of 5,000... no, 3,000."
"This is the first time I see someone complaining about high salary, so I'll listen to you." Russell smiled and didn't argue with Gwen on the issue of salary.
"Russell."
"Hmm?"
"Can I get a month's salary in advance?" Gwen looked a little embarrassed.
"I'm out of money. And I need to rent a house."
Only God knows how she survived these three weeks.
When she first came to this world, Gwen was thinking about how to go back, but reality soon taught her a hard lesson. Food, clothing, housing, and transportation all cost money.
Looking at the cramped Gwen, Russell fell silent.
Are all superheroes so poor? Or is it only Spider-Man?
