Eudemons Qinglong in American manga

Chapter 18
"Professors won't prostitute our labor force for nothing."

Roy said calmly.

Although he doesn't know if he will have five insurances and one housing fund after joining the X-Men, but he is sure of one thing, that is, joining the X-Men will definitely have a stable salary.

the reason is simple.

First, Professor X is not short of money, he can even be said to be close to "[-] million".

Second, judging by Cyclops buying a new car every now and then, being an X-Men definitely pays off.

Otherwise, Cyclops, who is a "vagrant", would never be able to afford so many cars.

Although Cyclops is a teacher in the mutant school, Roy doesn't think that Professor X will really pay Cyclops as a teacher.

"It's normal for you to care about this."

"After all, a boy of your age may have a lot of places to spend money."

Cyclops teases Roy.

Although he didn't say it, Roy knew what he meant.

Picking up girls and dating both cost money!

Although in a relationship, sincerity is very important.

But that doesn't mean you can spend nothing.

It's two different things.

"When you become a full member of the X-Men, you do have a salary, but not a lot."

"If it's just a daily salary, it's only $[-] a month."

"If there is a task, the reward will be calculated separately."

Cyclops continued.

Thirty thousand a month?

After hearing Cyclops' answer, Roy smiled with satisfaction.

Thirty thousand dollars doesn't seem like much, but it's definitely not too little.

To give a simple example, take the police in New York.

After working in the New York Police Department for five and a half years, the annual income of a police officer is about $9, excluding overtime compensation.

On average, it's only seven or eight thousand dollars a month.

This is the salary I got after working for five and a half years.

If it is a new police officer who has just graduated, the annual salary is only more than 4 US dollars.

Although the risks faced are different, in any case, the guaranteed income of [-] US dollars a month is also very good.

"Is there anything else you want to ask?"

Cyclops looked at Roy and asked with a smile.

Although Roy didn't speak, just looking at his expression now, you can tell that he has no objection to this income.

"temporarily unavailable."

Roy replied quickly.

"If you want to know anything in the future, you can always ask me."

After speaking, Cyclops and Phoenix Girl left the training room.

restaurant.

Lorna and the others who had just finished training were sitting together, chatting while eating the dinner in front of them.

"I know Roy is very strong, but I didn't expect him to be so strong."

"Although Teacher Scott and the others didn't say anything, I always feel that the difficulty of training this afternoon is not the difficulty of training that Roy usually accepts."

Iceman said with emotion on his face.

"I also have this feeling."

Colossus agreed with Iceman's statement.

Although they had received casting training with Roy this afternoon, compared with them, Roy was not generally relaxed.

Sometimes, they even felt like they were dragging Roy down.

"Can the two of you have some ambition? He started training a week ago, and he should perform better."

"If I had trained for a week, I could have done as well as him."

Lorna said with an unconvinced face.

After finishing speaking, he picked up a piece of fried chicken with a fork and took a hard bite.

"I heard from other students that Roy sometimes leaves school alone to practice outside at night."

The phantom cat looked at Lorna who seemed to be venting his anger, and said slowly.

"Go outside for training?"

"Where are you going to train?"

Lorna's eyes immediately fell on Colossus.

Colossus is Roy's roommate.

If anyone knew where Roy was out practicing, he would most likely know.

"Don't look at me, I don't know where he will practice."

"But sometimes he comes back late."

"I remember one time, he didn't come back until one or two in the morning."

Colossus said quickly.

Obviously, that wasn't the answer Lorna wanted to hear.

"I've decided. I'll ask Mr. Scott or Mr. Orolo later."

"They must know where Roy is practicing."

Lorna said quickly.

As soon as she finished speaking, a voice came from behind her.

"Don't be so troublesome, if you want to know, just ask me."

It was none other than Roy who spoke.

Before he sat down, Lorna quickly said:
"Be honest, where is your secret training place?"

Roy didn't answer her right away, but sat down next to Colossus.

Then, he said unhurriedly:
"how?"

"You want to go too?"

amount……

Lorna didn't intend to practice more in private, and the training this afternoon was enough for her to digest.

However, after hearing Roy's inquiry, she didn't even think about it, and immediately said:
"Yes, I want to go too."

"You can practice more in private, of course I can too."

After finishing speaking, Lorna raised her slender and fair neck and looked at Roy with a proud face.

"What about you?"

"You want to go too?"

Roy ignored the arrogant Lorna and asked about the Iceman and the others.

"I'll forget it, I still have to accompany the little rascal tonight."

Iceman said immediately.

"I'm going to the studio tonight."

Although Colossus doesn't need to date, he also has no idea of ​​practicing more.

"I'm tired."

Phantom Cat said seriously.

Roy knew that the three of them would not have the idea of ​​training more, but he did not expect that the three of them would actually give a reason not to go at the same time.

Looking at the three icemen who started to eat silently, Roy looked at Lorna and said calmly:

"You can go if you want."

"But I told you in advance, I won't carry you there or back."

"The place to practice is not very far away, only about 20 kilometers away."

More than 20 kilometers?
After hearing his words, Lorna froze for a moment.

She thought Roy's training location was near the school.

Unexpectedly, it was more than 20 kilometers away from the school.

"You don't need to memorize it. I have a driver's license and can drive there by myself."

Lorna said quickly.

"There's no way to drive there."

……

Lorna widened her big Kaziran eyes, and looked at Roy in disbelief.

After about half a minute, she continued:
"If you don't have a brain problem, it's just training, why run so far?"

Roy raised his head, looked at Lorna, and said unhurriedly:

"My brain is definitely fine."

"It's only more than 20 kilometers. For me, it's no different from taking a walk after dinner."

"You need to seriously consider whether you really want to go."

"If you make yourself exhausted because you can't let go of face, then there is something wrong with your brain."

As soon as he finished speaking, the metal fork in his hand suddenly bent ninety degrees, and the fork tip changed from pointing at the food on the dinner plate to pointing at his head.

"Go, go, whoever is afraid!"

Lorna clenched her fists unconsciously and said domineeringly.
