The Continental Hotel's Rewards

However, Henry still had one question about everything at the Continental Hotel, and asked, "Where did the Gold Coin come from?"

Charlie looked at the person who asked the question with an expression that said he was an idiot.

Henry had to explain further, "I know it's most likely minted by the High Table or something like that. But how did it get into circulation? How was the first Gold Coin delivered to someone else?"

"If I were a service provider, the Gold Coin I earn would be collected from the people I serve. And this Gold Coin..."

How do the people being served earn their money?

"It's unlikely that the High Table, in order to ensure the circulation of the Gold Coin, kindly gave everyone one after minting them, leaving them to figure out how to spend them themselves."

After thinking for a moment, Charlie replied, "The Continental Hotel has issued bounty missions. For each mission completed, the executor will receive one Gold Coin and the bounty. Is this what you're asking about?"

"Only one?" Henry asked again.

Charlie replied, "There's only one coin per mission. But for particularly difficult missions, a certain number of participants can also earn Gold Coin. To give a general standard, a bounty of one million or more will qualify for an additional Gold Coin."

"For tasks under one million, only one task will be issued. For tasks over one million, it is assumed that two people can cooperate to complete them."

That means each of the two people gets one. For every additional million, there will be one more collaborator.

"However, it still depends on the hotel's approval; it's not always the case. What If...? there's a particularly skilled individual who acts alone and takes home a five million dollar bounty?"

"Then he can keep the five million bounty for himself, but he can only get one Gold Coin instead of five. That's why I said Gold Coin are very precious; exchanging them directly for money, no matter how much you get, is a loss."

What If...? this is the difficulty of obtaining hotel Gold Coin in Continental Hotel, then Henry couldn't help but recall watching the movie "Speed Wick" before his transmigration.

When John Wick decides to strike again, he smashes open the box in his basement and pulls it out. What does the amount of Gold Coin inside represent?

One Gold Coin represents at least one life. But when Baba Yaga takes action, how could she only take one life?

To call him a ruthless killer would be to underestimate this handsome, melancholic Slavic man. He's only known for killing for a dog and a car.

They wiped out the entire gang.

If he always used this berserker, earth-based style of attack, instead of targeting only one person, then behind that pile of Gold Coin lay countless innocent souls.

Even without seeing it with his own eyes, Henry could picture it in his mind.

Angel from heaven asked the soul of a deceased person: How did you die?

The deceased replied: I don't know. I just arrived at this place on my first day, and when I saw someone, I was shot twice in the chest and once in the head. Then I came up here to report for duty.

The fact that even lowly soldiers have no human rights is just one example of the extent of this problem.

As for the Continental Hotel Gold Coin he already had, it was a trophy he had taken from a downed gunman when he and Tony Stark were fighting against the Continental Hotel's gunmen, after switching to a gun with bullets.

These are Gold Coin that could be considered illicitly obtained. I wonder if the rules of Continental Hotel prohibit the use of such Gold Coin. There's no way to trace the source of the Gold Coin; who cares whether they were stolen or earned?

Initially, it was thought that the gunman hadn't stored the Gold Coin properly and they happened to be on his person, becoming his loot. Now it seems that this could very well be the unfortunate man's entire fortune.

As if remembering something, Charlie added, "Actually, as partners, there's a way for you to earn US dollars directly, instead of Gold Coin."

"Oh, what method?"

Charlie replied, "You can tell the intelligence department of the Continental Hotel any news you hear on the street. They will judge the value of the information and give an appropriate reward."

"You can talk about anything. What you consider worthless news might be different to those who need it. However, news that has already been published is utterly worthless."

"Besides this kind of passively collected intelligence, there is also actively offered reward. The reward for this kind of information is more generous; even just providing a clue can earn you money."

"Sometimes, contract gunmen like us earn these kinds of commissions when we don't have suitable jobs. For example, the highest bounty we've seen recently is about who the Joker was, helping the X-Men fight aliens, which happened in the middle of last year."

"Hmm, should I turn myself in for the reward?" Although the thought flashed through his mind, Henry pretended to be clueless and said, "I thought that was just tabloid fabrication. The place with the most aliens in the world is Hollywood, right? Or maybe the legendary Area 51."

Charlie said, "If something is on the Continental Hotel's bounty list, it must have some credibility. Maybe those aliens are just Mutants look particularly strange."

"Anyway, that battle definitely happened. And besides the known X-Men and Brotherhood of Mutants, there was also a Joker of unknown origin who aroused a lot of interest. That's why some people wanted to inquire about him."

Henry feigned curiosity and asked, "Since this has been going on since the middle of last year, the bounty should have been up for a while now."

Does anyone suspect that the Joker might be who?

Charlie, his eyes darting around, whispered, "I heard from official intelligence that some people suspect it's that Hollywood starlet, River Phoenix."

Thinking back to when I put on Joker makeup, I did rely on muscle control to change my face. I remember I just randomly picked a face from a magazine to use, which is why I chose that actor who was considered to be extremely talented and gifted.

I never imagined that with the face painted like that, the surveillance and electronic technology of this era could actually recreate the face beneath the Joker makeup.

Fortunately, I was careful enough to change my face. Otherwise, my original appearance would have been exposed.

This shows that there's a reason why both superheroes and supervillains like to operate in disguise. Even if they don't protect their peaceful daily lives, it can keep away a lot of unwanted people from bothering them.

But will this incident affect that young, talented starlet? Regarding his memories before transmigrating, he vaguely recalls dying young from a drug overdose. Henry sighed, "River Phoenix."

Hearing Henry repeat the name, Charlie laughed and said, "Trying to get to that minor starlet? I can advise you not to. Ever since the news broke, people have been keeping a close watch on that starlet, hoping to find evidence."

"The result was just taking pictures of some irrelevant things, which could only be sold to tabloids to subsidize the operation costs."

Nobody caught a big fish. And that legendary Joker hasn't reappeared, I don't know why."

"What a pity," Henry replied, feigning regret.
