Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Gourmet Journey

Chapter 536 Xiaoyu doesn't want to be a wife, but she can be a good friend who joins the Crystal Palace.

After hearing about Broly from Jackie Chan, Inspector Black was very interested. Their District 13 was known as an elite force, the best of the best, but that only applied to ordinary people. They were rather powerless against evil villains with superhuman powers.

A peculiar boy who emerged from hell, could fight Valmont, who was possessed by Shendu, to a standstill, and was considered by Jackie Chan's father not to be an evil person, was exactly the kind of talent that District 13 desperately needed. After all, they couldn't always rely on their old friend Jackie Chan, a very capable archaeologist.

"Do you have a place to live and a job?"

Broly was somewhat tempted. He didn't care about accommodation, but he definitely needed a job. Before leaving Hell, he had given all his food to Howling Wind, and now he needed a job that could earn him money so that he could support himself in this strange world.

Of course, even without a job, Broly wouldn't go hungry in a world full of resources, but having a job would make him live more like a modern person; otherwise, he would have to hunt for food himself.

"I'm willing to work for you, but can you pay me a sufficient salary?"

Broly asked, explaining that he had received very high rewards when he was an adventurer in other worlds.

"Our District 13 has ample funding and offers very generous benefits to its members, which will surely satisfy you."

Sheriff Black was very confident about this; District 13's adversaries were all kinds of vicious criminals from around the world, and the funding they received each year was not small.

"However, before you can join the company, you have to undergo an onboarding assessment. I need to check your abilities to see if you are as capable as my friend Jackie Chan said."

This is not only a responsibility to District 13 itself, but also a responsibility to you. Otherwise, if you lack the necessary skills but end up with a dangerous job, or skills that don't match the job requirements, it could cost you your life.

As Sheriff Black spoke, he led Broly to a room with various training equipment. This was where the elite agents of District 13 trained daily, and Jackie Chan sometimes came here to practice his martial arts.

"This is Tagg, one of our top agents from District 13."

Sheriff Black beckoned over an older man and introduced him to Broly.

“Tagg, I need you to assess Broly.”

"Is this a test for special agents?"

"You don't need to assess everything, you only need to assess your physical skills."

Sheriff Black paused for a moment, then said to Broly, "Considering your situation, and the fact that we hired you to deal with supernatural events, we may need to use extraordinary powers. Are you willing to accept that?"

"no problem."

"Xiaoyu, your uncle Jackie Chan told me about the talisman. Can you take back the talisman you took now?"

Sheriff Black then looked at Jade and said, "Jade gave a slightly embarrassed smile and quickly pulled out the talismans she had taken from her pocket: 'They're all here.'"

"I really don't know how you took them. The room where the talismans are stored should have been under very strict management."

Sheriff Black took the talisman, still somewhat puzzled as to how Jade had taken it.

“I can use the stairs. I remember the password you entered when you entered that room. After I sneaked in, I entered the password and successfully took the talisman inside.”

"Okay, I think I need to change my password."

“Hey, Sheriff Black, you can’t do this. If it weren’t for me, Uncle Long might be in danger in prison.”

Sheriff Black couldn't refute Xiaoyu's words. Who knew he would be forced to undergo psychological questioning, which resulted in him being on leave now.

"Okay, maybe I should consider making you an employee pass for District 13 as well."

"So, does that mean I'm an elite agent of District 13?"

Xiaoyu asked excitedly.

"Well, it shouldn't count."

Sheriff Blake quickly waved his hand.

"How can he do that?"

Xiaoyu pointed at Broly and asked.

"Because you have Jackie Chan, a responsible uncle, I don't want your Uncle Chan to come knocking on my door and question me about hiring my high school niece as a secret agent."

Sheriff Blake quickly explained.

"Uh, okay."

Hearing this, Xiaoyu deflated like a punctured balloon.

"However, if you still want to be a secret agent when you grow up, I think District 13 will welcome you."

Upon seeing this, Sheriff Blake said again.

In his opinion, Xiaoyu was indeed a good candidate to become a secret agent.

"Ah, then it's settled."

Xiaoyu became happy again.

"Um, Sheriff Black, may I begin the assessment?"

Tagg asked the question.

"With the talisman in hand, we can begin, but if you find that this child is no match for you, I hope you will try your best not to harm him."

"Don't worry, I still really like children."

Tagg went up with the talisman, but Broly grabbed his hand and threw him away.

The person fell to the ground, somewhat dazed, and the entire process took less than two seconds.

Have I completed the assessment?

After Broly threw the man out, he asked...

"Oh, I think, yes, you've passed the assessment."

Sheriff Black stroked his chin. He had expected Hellboy to be powerful, but he hadn't expected him to be this powerful. In the blink of an eye, he had defeated Tagg, an elite veteran agent of Section 13, even though Tagg was wielding a talisman.

"This unscientific."

Tagg got up; Broly had used a clever trick, and he wasn't injured.

"But it's magical, isn't it?"

Sheriff Black said that after the resurrection of the Holy Lord, he had begun to believe in magic.

"You've passed the assessment, so I think we should talk about compensation now."

Sheriff Blake started talking about the treatment.

"Agents in District 13 are divided into three levels: junior agents, senior agents, and technical specialists. I can offer you the highest level of compensation, which is $140,000 per year."

Of course, this is just the basic salary. You will also get a free dormitory in District 13, and free meals specially prepared by a nutritionist every day.

If you don't plan to live in District 13 and choose to rent a place outside, you can receive a housing allowance. Similarly, you can receive a food allowance, as well as a transportation allowance to work..."

The salaries of agents in District 13 are not very high, but they receive a lot of benefits and subsidies, especially in terms of medical care, which is a major expense. This benefit is not only enjoyed by the agents themselves, but also by their families.

"As for working hours, specially hired technical experts like you have flexible working hours. You only need to work when there are supernatural events that require your attention. Otherwise, it's paid leave. Oh, and there's also a high-risk mission allowance, which is usually 30% of your annual salary."

“Broly, if you have no problem with this, we can sign an employment contract now.”

"Besides money, what other rewards can I get?"

Broly discovered that the only reward here seemed to be money.

"What else do you want, a private jet or a luxury sports car?"

"Inspector Black asked."

"Do you have any talismans?"

"Uh……"

The boy's words startled Sheriff Blake.

"You need a talisman?"

"Yes." "What do you need the talisman for?"

Sheriff Blake was somewhat puzzled; the agent who had obtained the talisman was still no match for the boy in front of him.

"I'm going to give it to Xiaoyu."

"Huh?!" *2
Xiaoyu and Sheriff Black were both somewhat surprised.

"You want the talisman just to give it to me?"

"Ah."

"But why are you giving me talismans?"

Xiaoyu was quite surprised.

"Just now, didn't you ask me what I came to this world for? I haven't told you yet. Now I can tell you. I came to this world to find a girl who can agree to become my wife. And Xiaoyu, you are that girl."

"what?!"

Sheriff Black's mouth dropped open, but Jade's mouth dropped even wider. Was becoming someone else's wife too early for her, who was still in high school?
"My purpose in finding a wife is to increase my happiness level. The talisman is in your hands, so it seems it can be considered an additional target for my pursuit. By giving you the talisman, I can gain more happiness points when you agree to become my wife."

After Broly explained the concept of happiness, Xiaoyu finally understood that what the boy wanted wasn't actually a wife, but rather happiness points that could be exchanged for happiness points. However, agreeing to become his wife was just one way for him to gain happiness points.

"So, I don't need to do any of the intimate things that couples do, right?"

Xiaoyu asked as if to confirm.

"If you want to do it, I can cooperate, but if you don't want to do it, you don't have to."

Broly nodded.

"Hey, Xiaoyu, I think you should think about it. Your Uncle Long definitely won't let you date so early."

Seeing Xiaoyu's thoughtful expression, Sheriff Blake quickly reminded her.

"Sheriff, don't worry, this isn't puppy love. I think what Broly really needs is a sincere friendship."

The talisman was returned, Broly got a new job, and was even given an advance on a month's salary, about $1.

He didn't stay overnight because Xiaoyu was very interested in his story, but she happily took him back with her.

"Oh my god, a love story is about to unfold between the kids, I think I need to call Jackie Chan to tell him."

At the Empty Valley Reformatory, when Jackie Chan learned from Sheriff Black that Broly had feelings for his niece, he almost jumped up. Only then did he remember what Broly had said about what he wanted to do after coming out of the Gates of Hell. The kid wasn't joking after all.

“I have to get out, Sheriff Black.”

"Letting you out will take some steps."

"The sooner the better."

When Jackie Chan returned to San Francisco by helicopter that night, he rushed home without even changing out of his prison uniform, only to find Jade gesturing wildly as she talked about fighting the Mafia.

"Jade, Broly didn't do anything to you, did he?"

Jackie Chan asked somewhat nervously.

“What can Broly do? He looks younger than me. Don’t worry, Uncle Long, Broly doesn’t want a wife. He just wants a companion who can provide him with happiness points, a true friend. And me, I’ve also had extraordinary experiences and don’t have the same topics as people my age. I can be the friend he needs.”

After chatting for an afternoon, Xiaoyu had learned quite a bit about Broly. She didn't have any romantic feelings for the Saiyan boy, but she did have the intention of joining the Crystal Palace because she was very interested in the other world and Broly's story in that world.

"Is that what it looks like?"

Jackie Chan was still somewhat worried.

"Uncle Long, take a good look, isn't this how it is?"

Xiaoyu had her arm around Broly's shoulder, standing next to the boy like a good brother; she was even a little taller than Broly.

"Uh……"

Jackie Chan had nothing to say. His niece's physical development was not very good to begin with, and Broly was even younger than his niece. It was only because of the strength that Broly had defeated him and Tru that Jackie Chan's impression of boys was somewhat biased towards adults.

But now that I look at them, they're just two elementary school students. Although there are cases of elementary school students getting pregnant in the United States, Xiaoyu is still trustworthy.

"Broly, may I ask how old you are?"

"According to Crystal Palace's calculations, I am 14 years old."

Broly answered Jackie Chan honestly.

"Oh, then he's the same age as Xiaoyu?"

“Jackie Chan, don’t worry too much about the young people’s affairs. Although Xiaoyu is a bit naughty, she is a girl with her own opinions.”

At first, Dad was a little worried when he received Jackie Chan's call, but after seeing Jade happily chatting with Broly, his worries disappeared.

After all, if a boy who looks even younger than his own grandniece were to make a mistake, it would be hard to say who should go to jail.

"Hey Jackie Chan, shouldn't you find a girlfriend? You're your age and you don't even have one. Don't you ever plan to get married?"

That evening, while having dinner together, the father couldn't help but say this to Jackie Chan.

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, Jackie Chan was somewhat stunned. He hadn't expected that his hasty return would result in his father pressuring him to find a girlfriend.

"Dad, I'm an archaeologist. Sometimes I have to travel for work. How would I have time to date? Even if I did, we'd definitely break up in the end, wouldn't we?"

"Hmm, that won't do. How about you quit your job as an archaeologist, Jackie Chan, and find a stable job?"

Jackie Chan: "..."

How come he never noticed before that his father was such a concerned elder about his own marital status?
"I think Little Snake could be Uncle Long's girlfriend!"

Just then, Xiaoyu raised her hand and spoke.

"Hey, who's the little snake?"

The old man was a little curious.

"That's a thief."

Jackie Chan quickly said, glaring at his niece, "Xiaoyu, don't interrupt and cause trouble!"

The dining table in the antique shop was quite lively; Broly could feel the warmth of life just by looking at it.

After dinner, he helped wash the dishes and then went to his rented room near the antique shop.

"Broly, see you tomorrow!"

After Xiaoyu brought him here, she waved goodbye.

Her happiness level has reached 11 points.

This is a rather peculiar girl he's trying to win over. Xiaoyu doesn't want to be his wife, but she expresses her willingness to join the Crystal Palace and become his good friend.

"I left hell today, and I encountered a strange target for my pursuit..."

Broly lay down on the soft bed that Tru had helped him buy and spoke in the group chat, talking about some of the things that had happened that day.

"Not his wife, but a full member of his friend's harem?"

When the other wives found out, they started discussing it, saying that this target for their conquest was really too special.

After discussion, they concluded that it was fine, as long as they could distinguish between them.

They'd be overjoyed if one less person came to share their boy, so why would they refuse?

Besides, as long as you get happiness points, who cares whether the other person is a wife or not?

Of course, if you don't want to be a wife, some of the functions of the Crystal Palace should be restricted, such as the access rights to the interior space of the Crystal Palace.
