"A celebrity? Ha, I know, Asgard also has stage actors."
Thor fell into thought.
Although he was over a thousand years old, he knew nothing but fighting, so it didn't matter what profession he pursued.
Mercenary might be the most suitable for him, but Thor was exiled precisely because of his killing, so he didn't want to go back down that path.
"Being a celebrity can earn a lot of money. I heard Dr. Foster's research is quite expensive..." Fang Yuan suddenly said something seemingly unrelated.
"I accept!"
Thor blurted out.
Even though he had only known Jane for a few days, Thor already had a good impression of this human woman who had helped him several times.
And when they drank together last night, Jane also expressed her affection for Thor, which instantly stirred the heart of this straight-laced man who had been like steel for a thousand years.
Hearing that he could help Jane, Thor naturally stepped up without hesitation.
So Fang Yuan immediately handed him an invitation and gave Thor a big smile.
"Welcome to Vought Corporation!"
[Vought Corporation cordially invites you to join]
[Inviter: Fang Yuan]
[Signatory: Blank]
Thor immediately wrote down his name, and the next second, a prompt appeared on Fang Yuan's panel—
[Congratulations! The company has signed an A+ level employee: Thor Odinson!]
"No way, my Avengers' ace, the mighty Thunder God Thor, is only A+ level?" Fang Yuan immediately expressed his dissatisfaction.
However, the panel's judgment criteria were clearly different from his own standards, not entirely based on individual ability, and Fang Yuan had no appeal button.
"Forget it, A+ it is. Anyway, I can still gain Thor's abilities when I reach the third tier," Fang Yuan consoled himself.
He opened Thor's personal panel.
[Name: Thor Odinson]
[Level: A+]
[Fame: 24 (Slightly Famous)]
[Unlocked Rewards: Initial Reward (Claimable), First Tier Reward (Claimable)]
[Initial Reward: Energy attribute increased to D.]
[First Tier Reward: Strength attribute increased to D, gained superpower - Lightning Affinity (C-level).]
Evidently, the company panel separated Thor's current fame from the fame of Thor in mythology, but Fang Yuan could understand it, as the mythological image had long been reinterpreted in various ways, detached from the original.
But he could foresee that with the blessing of mythological legends, Thor's fame would surely rise quickly.
Although Fang Yuan felt Thor's character level was debatable, the rewards were very generous, directly increasing two of Fang Yuan's attributes and granting him a superpower.
[Lightning Affinity (C-level)] is easy to understand, similar to Dark Affinity, it enhances Fang Yuan's talent in lightning spells, slightly increasing power and resistance, etc.
He gained a lot, and this was only the first tier reward.
Fang Yuan exited the reward claiming state, and Thor immediately asked curiously, "What do I do as a celebrity? Act in plays?"
"I can play Odin!"
He covered one eye, intentionally deepening his voice: "I am... the All-Father!"
In the unseen, Fang Yuan seemed to see a one-eyed, white-haired old man lying on a bed, his mouth twitching a few times.
Odin had just "died," and Thor was already profiting from his own father; truly a filial son.
However, Fang Yuan understood that Thor hadn't thought that much; portraying Odin on Earth and promoting Odin's deeds was actually Thor's way of commemorating his father.
Fang Yuan also didn't plan to mess things up too much, after all, Thor's father in heaven was still watching.
Although Odin had fallen into slumber, he could still perceive external matters, and Thor was naturally his main focus.
Fang Yuan had no doubt that if he messed around, thunder might strike him one day, and even Lightning Affinity wouldn't help!
But Fang Yuan's goals actually coincided with Odin's. Odin wanted Thor to understand the benevolence of a king, and Fang Yuan also needed Thor to regain his divine power.
A Thor without divine power was useless to Fang Yuan; he still hoped Thor would work for him later.
"First, I'm going to help you regain mjolnir's favor," Fang Yuan said, startling Thor.
Thor was greatly surprised: "I... I've been exiled. Father personally stripped me of my divine power. I've tried, I'm no longer worthy of mjolnir!"
Fang Yuan wouldn't tell Thor that this was just Odin's test; an open-book exam was cheating, but Fang Yuan had many ways to put the answer in Thor's mouth.
"I have a way, you just need to trust me!" Fang Yuan said confidently, "No one on Earth understands mjolnir better than I do right now!"
Thor didn't care about other things, but when it came to the Meow-Meow Hammer, Thor dared not believe Fang Yuan.
How could an Earth mage understand an Asgardian artifact?
Seeing Thor's disbelief, Fang Yuan's eyes darted around, and he immediately led him to the hammer's location in the center of the large pit.
"I'll prove it to you!"
Fang Yuan's face was filled with solemnity and determination, then he secretly equipped the Steve Template.
Then, under Thor's astonished gaze, Fang Yuan gripped mjolnir with both hands and pulled upward with force.
"No, mjolnir must..." Thor was still shaking his head, but suddenly his words caught in his throat.
Because he saw that Fang Yuan had actually moved mjolnir!
Although it was only a tiny 2-3 centimeters, it was enough for Thor.
"Hoo!" Fang Yuan let out a long breath, wiping his forehead, "Too bad I'm still not 'diligent' enough to lift mjolnir completely."
"No, being able to move mjolnir means your character is recognized!" Thor said seriously, very earnest about the hammer, "Although I don't know why you can only move it and not lift it, Fang, you are definitely a good person recognized by mjolnir!"
Thor could not believe himself, but he would never disbelieve the hammer.
Fang Yuan's display completely conquered him. After all, Odin himself had said that only those with character worthy of mjolnir could wield it.
Although Fang Yuan couldn't lift it, merely moving it slightly already surpassed most people, though Thor didn't understand the reason.
Either you can do it or you can't. What's all this about dragging it on the ground?
Fang Yuan said he wasn't diligent enough?
Thor didn't understand how one could be more diligent in this situation.
But none of this affected his recognition of Fang Yuan's character.
Hammer-tested good guy!
"Alright, Fang, whatever you tell me to do, I'll do it. I'll listen to you!"
Thor didn't hesitate at all, placing himself in Fang Yuan's hands.
Someone who understands him, can drink with him, wants to help him get his hammer back, and whose character is even certified by mjolnir—where else could he find such a reliable partner?
"Good, you go spend a few days getting to know Dr. Jane, then I'll take you back to New York." Fang Yuan's arrangement also perfectly suited Thor's wishes.
After he and Jane confessed their feelings last night, there was only a thin veil between them, so Thor quickly ran off to find Jane.
Fang Yuan shook his head. Jane was also a tool he used to tie down Thor, and she was surprisingly effective for Thor.
Since Thor had become his employee, Fang Yuan now had to deal with some lingering issues.
He went to the desert town, to the place where Thor had first landed.
"Estimating the time, it should be soon," he thought.
After waiting a few hours, Fang Yuan suddenly looked up. The sky immediately became overcast with dark clouds, and S.H.I.E.L.D.'s instrument readings began to soar.
"Boom!"
A rainbow descended from the sky, with four figures faintly visible within it.
Fang Yuan raised his hand and released a Portal at their feet, causing all of them to fall in.
Faintly visible... then gone.
When Coulson arrived at the scene with his team, he only saw a mysterious circular imprint on the ground, but nothing else was found.
Asgard, Bifrost Bridge.
Loki angrily came to the teleportation chamber and questioned Heimdall, the gatekeeper: "Did you send Sif and the others to Midgard?"
Midgard is Earth, one of the Nine Realms of Asgard.
"This is treason!" Loki was furious.
The four who had just slipped away were Valkyrie Sif and the Three Warriors Volstagg, Hogun, and Fandral.
They were all Thor's friends and did not recognize Loki's rule, so they planned to go to Earth to retrieve Thor.
Loki knew that once they saw Thor, his lies would be exposed, so he immediately planned to summon Odin's Destroyer armor to eliminate these four.
But suddenly Heimdall said, "They... disappeared?"
"What?"
Loki, holding Odin's Eternal Spear, could perceive the situation on Earth with Odin's divine power. He saw only the Bifrost Bridge's emblem on Earth, but Sif and the other three had vanished without a trace.
Wait... not entirely without a trace.
Loki's divine power sensed that Sif and the other three were in New Mexico one moment, then flashing to another location the next, constantly cycling.
"It's him!"
Loki's eyes narrowed as he saw Fang Yuan near the S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents, immediately realizing it was his doing.
So Loki was no longer in a hurry to send out the Destroyer, as it would easily be detected by Thor.
He just couldn't understand why Fang Yuan would help him. Did he also want Thor to stay on Earth?
Loki was baffled, but since it brought him no harm, he let it be.
However, Fang Yuan's repeated displays of divine power made Loki reconsider his warning—not to kill King Laufey, his biological father.
"If he doesn't provoke me, I'll leave him alone for now," Loki temporarily delayed his plan, "Anyway, I'm king now!"
Fang Yuan left the scene, letting the S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents busy themselves there.
Of course, he wouldn't let the Asgardian Four meet Thor so soon. If they met, Thor would go back to hammer his brother, so Fang Yuan definitely had to wait until Thor got used to being a celebrity before releasing them.
Anyway, Sif, Volstagg, and the other two were Asgardian elites; they wouldn't die from not eating or drinking for a while.
So Fang Yuan left Coulson and returned to New York alone.
Coulson had already reported to Fury about Thor. Hearing that Thor had been recruited by Fang Yuan, Fury didn't stop him but instructed Coulson to investigate intelligence about Asgard, so Coulson temporarily remained there to study the hammer.
Fang Yuan had said he would help Thor win back the Meow-Meow Hammer, so he naturally had to set the stage for Thor.
There was no simpler way to impress the hammer than sacrifice. In the original plot, the Destroyer did it, but now without the Destroyer, Fang Yuan had to find someone else to do the job.
Coincidentally, there was a big guy in New York right now.
