By the time we left the restaurant, it was completely dark.

Sif obediently took Li Chen's arm.

After this conversation, they became much more familiar with each other, especially after learning about many embarrassing things the other had done.

Asgardians are generally open-minded, and Sif has come to terms with it as well.

At worst, I'll just indulge myself this once; I might never come back to Earth again.

Moreover, as an immortal being... perhaps Li Chen won't be here next time he comes.

The most godlike aspect of the Asgardians compared to humans is undoubtedly their lifespan; even ordinary Asgardians can live for thousands of years.

This is naturally out of envy, jealousy, and resentment.

However, Li Chen didn't intend to eat so soon, because he had other ideas.

He first took Sif to see a movie.

It's Avatar, which is still showing.

The main reason Avatar had such high box office returns was its expensive ticket price.

A regular 2D movie ticket in the America costs only a few dollars, but as the first 3D movie, and directed by Cameron, the ticket price was astonishing, costing at least ten dollars, more than double the original price.

Therefore, despite having fewer viewers than Titanic, Avatar's box office revenue surpassed Titanic's.

Undoubtedly, with no way to increase audience numbers, Hollywood saw the possibility of boosting box office revenue.

As a result, for a long time, 3D movies became the choice for mainstream commercial films.

However, it eventually declined, mainly because 3D movies were too expensive.

Sif was still very curious about the movie Li Chen mentioned, and after putting on the glasses, she did indeed feel like she was there.

However, she was indifferent to the movie's content; she only found the experience somewhat novel.

"How about it?"

Li Chen looked at Sif with curiosity.

Sif shook her head and said, "Isn't the protagonist supposed to be someone from Earth? Why would they help aliens?"

"..."

Li Chen was speechless; the plot of Avatar was indeed something to complain about.

"These are America values."

The America is a nation of immigrants, so it's naturally difficult to talk about loyalty.

"What about the special effects? Were they exciting?"

"Not bad."

Sif nodded objectively. "But Asgard already had this technology."

Li Chen smiled, said nothing more, and led Sif to the hotel.

Once you've won Sif over to your side, everything else will be much easier.

They both knew the other had been waiting impatiently for a long time.

"Let me see the majesty of the Asgard goddess of war."

"The Midgardian seem quite fragile."

"I'm different."

Sif discovered that Li Chen was indeed different.

His body was as hard as steel, and no matter what combat techniques she used, she could not defeat him.

On the contrary, Li Chen's strength was so formidable that Sif eventually couldn't withstand it.

The battle was so intense that the sky darkened and the sun rose the next day.

The two of them hadn't rested at all, but they weren't tired at all.

As expected of the Asgard goddess of war, her indomitable will prevented her from surrendering even when she was constantly at a disadvantage.

Li Chen naturally wouldn't let her go.

It's like a tug-of-war; it only ends when one side falls and the other side wins completely.

So Li Chen stopped treating Sif as a human being.

It wasn't until two days later that the final winner was announced, and naturally, it was Li Chen.

Sif's gaze towards him was completely different now.

"You are far stronger than the average Asgardians."

Even Sif had to admit it.

Of course, she was referring to physical fitness.

Isn't it said that Earthlings are physically weak? Yet Li Chen's strength seems inexhaustible.

Li Chen then put his arm around her and asked, "Sif, how much freedom do you feel in Asgard?"

"Degrees of freedom?"

"Does that mean we can leave whenever we want?"

"Of course, no one will restrict me."

Sif nodded haughtily.

Li Chen pinched her arm. In Thor: Love and Thunder, poor Sif lost an arm, which looked rather comical.

However, Li Chen would absolutely not let that happen.

"Are you interested in making movies?"

Li Chen immediately asked.

Is this to help you?

Sif hesitated; she didn't want to make a movie, but she would naturally agree if Li Chen needed her.

Seeing the look in her eyes, Li Chen couldn't help but nod.

It was indeed important to win her over; it was essential to establish my position.

"There's one role that would suit you perfectly; she's also a female warrior..."

Li Chen explained Wonder Woman's backstory to Sif.

Sif then quipped, "With this kind of setup, aren't you afraid Zeus will throw lightning at you?"

"This is the Nine Realms, Odin's territory."

Li Chen pinched Sif.

Zeus and the others were the Old Gods; the gods of Asgard were the New Gods and have always ruled the Nine Realms.

Zeus did appear in Thor: Love and Thunder, but he was almost instantly killed by Thor...

Even Li Chen, let alone others, thought it was outrageous.

"Interesting."

Sif was clearly tempted.

She had initially thought it was just a little indulgence, and that she might never come back to Earth.

But now... she wants to stay here.

No wonder Thor is so attached to Earth.

However, it's clear that she still has to go back.

"Are all those things ready?"

"Of course, you're leaving?"

"I have to go back first, but I'll come back."

Sif said firmly.

Afterwards, she changed back into her Super Suit and followed Li Chen back to the company to retrieve her belongings.

Almost all of Starlight Pictures' works have been uploaded.

The Asgardians will soon be able to see it.

Then, Sif waved goodbye and took her leave.

"Boss, what have you been doing these past few days?"

Lorna Dane sniffed Li Chen.

However, Sif doesn't wear perfume, so you can't smell anything.

"She's not from Earth; I just showed her around for a bit."

Li Chen said calmly, "We need to maintain good relations with Asgard, so I have no choice."

Gwen Stacy had a look on her face that said, "Do you believe me or not?"

However, she didn't say anything.

Li Chen hugged her and said, "Let's go see MJ later."

"OK."

Gwen Stacy knew what was going to happen, but she was still looking forward to it.

Lorna Dane pouted when she saw how nice Li Chen was to Gwen Stacy.

She knew Gwen Stacy had an assistant, a woman named Mary Jane.

This made Lorna Dane realize that she was no match for her two best friends on her own, and simply couldn't compete with them.

It was two against one, and even if she used all her skills, she was no match.

Two are definitely more fragrant than one.

This made Lorna Dane purse her lips; it seemed she had to make a move as well.

But tragically, she didn't have any close friends...

They did spend some time together, but their relationship wasn't as close as Gwen Stacy and Mary Jane's, to that extent.

If they can share even this, what can't they do?

They might even give it a push from behind.

"No, my father said... I think I have a younger sister?"

At that moment, Lorna Dane suddenly remembered that Magneto had told her that he had placed his younger sister with a Gypsy family, asking them to take care of her.
