Qin Xiao felt that he was not destined to be a celebrity. The first time he made the headlines was because the media thoroughly exploited his CP (couple pairing)!
The photo of him and Tony making peace signs still hangs in his bedroom in his Los Angeles apartment.
Last time, he finally managed to show off in the Senate, but the government suppressed it directly, and there was no extensive media coverage.
This is the second time. In the photo, Qin Xiao looks disheveled, covered in dirt, and has a few blades of grass on his head.
Tony on the other side wasn't much better off. He pulled back with one hand and one foot, and although he didn't take off his mask, his actions perfectly illustrated what it means to have a ghostly expression.
This was all thanks to the old king of Wakanda, who not only hacked television networks around the world, but also sent people to bring in many journalists from world-class media outlets from nearby countries before the battle ended.
Qin Xiao was caught completely off guard. He was standing there when the dragon-shaped spaceship smashed into him. As soon as he was flipped over, he saw several reporters taking pictures. That's where Tony's ghost-like gestures and expressions came from.
In stark contrast to the two of them is Thor.
Although Thor knew what a journalist and a camera were, he didn't really have a concept of these things.
The three, enraged, overturned the dragon-shaped spaceship. Suddenly, they saw a reporter with a camera. Thor's first thought was that the reporter was an enemy, and he glared at him with his hammer in hand.
Although he realized it immediately, that first reaction was captured on camera.
Not only does he hold the center position, but he also has unruly long hair, perfectly sculpted muscles on his arms, an imposing presence when facing enemies, and a flamboyant cape fluttering in the wind behind him.
The more I look at it, the more I feel like there are two clowns standing next to me.
"That damned old fox! He even arranged for reporters in advance! How much does he want people to know that Wakanda helped protect this world?!"
Tony slammed a newspaper on the table and said angrily.
"No, I think it's great! Jane even called yesterday to praise me, saying the photo is really good. You two are so stingy!"
Thor picked up the newspaper, looked at the photo on the front page, and said with a puzzled expression.
"Idiot!!"
Qin Xiao and Tony cursed in unison.
Tony just learned this recently and finds it incredibly fun.
In fact, Qin Xiao made a good profit this time, not only gaining Wakanda as a partner.
In terms of system points alone, Black Panther Shuri and Okoye each contributed 500 points.
The outcome of the war with the Chitauri foreshadowed the completion of the Avengers storyline. Unlike the previous solo films, this time the system directly awarded 5000 points.
With his points reaching 5600 again, Qin Xiao didn't hesitate to exchange them for a mid-level fighting technique.
Anyway, I've bought everything else from the Level 2 Shop, so now I'm all set.
However, this Intermediate Fighting Skills is actually quite good. Leaving aside the technical aspects, which require practice in combat, it improves body control, strength, and striking speed by at least 20%.
For Qin Xiao, whose current fighting style primarily relies on close-quarters combat, this undoubtedly represents a significant step forward in his abilities.
After purchasing everything from the Level 2 Shop, the system began its upgrade, which will take a full month.
Because the Level 3 Shop will open up a permission that allows redeemed items to be used by others. For example, if Natasha doesn't use a serum, then her and Qin Xiao's lifespan will be a big problem in the future.
Qin Xiao quite liked this aspect. While ensuring his own strength, he didn't mind exchanging for it for his friends. Otherwise, it would be too painful to watch the people around him grow old one by one.
However, all of this is for now; nobody knows what will be available after the Level 3 Shop opens.
Loki's matter is finally over, and Thor will take him directly back to Asgard.
As for the scepter, Qin Xiao didn't try to compete with S.H.I.E.L.D.. He just waited for Hydra to take it. This gem was related to three superheroes, and Qin Xiao didn't know what he would face in this world in the future, so every bit of combat power was extremely important.
Especially high-powered characters like Vision and Scarlet Witch.
There are still many things to discuss regarding cooperation with Wakanda, but Wakanda has just exposed itself to the world, and the old king has many things to do recently.
We'll have to wait and see.
Qin Xiao is thinking about the Tesseract right now.
Before he could even approach Thor, Thor came looking for him.
"I need the Tesseract to take Loki back to Asgard. You know, I destroyed the Bifrost, and Father said the Tesseract is needed to fix it."
That's all?
Qin Xiao found it strange; these things had been agreed upon long ago.
"No, my father told me that the Tesseract belongs to you, Asgard needs to borrow it for a while, so I had to tell you."
Thor answered honestly.
" Odin offered it himself, so it belongs to me?"
Now it was Qin Xiao's turn to be curious. Although he had the same idea, Odin had brought it up himself, so this...
" Thor, this is the Space Stone, one of the Six Infinity Stones. I saw that your father also has an Infinity Gauntlet in his vault. Why are you giving it to me?"
Faced with Qin Xiao's question, Thor scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly and said...
"Um... Father said that the appearance of each of the Six Infinity Stones is accompanied by trouble. The fact that they have appeared on Earth one after another means that someone is definitely behind this. He's getting old and doesn't want to cause trouble, so he'd better leave them to you!"
Odin's original words were that if they could retrieve the Tesseract and repair the Bifrost, they should just leave this trouble to that bastard Qin Xiao. Even the Sorcerer Supreme The Ancient One, couldn't see his future clearly, so it would be best to keep him by his side.
Thor had already embellished his story a bit, but Qin Xiao still thought Thor was a straightforward guy. "You just blurted out how your father was so obviously shifting the blame?"
Aren't you going to say something like you're thanking yourself for teaching Loki a lesson?
Alright! Since he already had the gems, Qin Xiao didn't care.
Meanwhile, on the other side, S.H.I.E.L.D., having obtained the scepter, had Alexander Pierce directly step in and take it away.
Just like in the movie, Alexander Pierce did not keep the scepter with him, but secretly handed it over to Baron Strucker, the leader of Hydra in Eastern Europe.
Compared to the United States, conducting human experiments is much more convenient in Eastern Europe. Moreover, the plan to develop super soldiers using the scepter is just a plan; no one knows what the success rate will be or how powerful the soldiers will be after the success.
For Alexander Pierce right now, the most important thing is the Project Insight.
Dr. Zola's algorithm is nearing completion. If the plan is successful, Hydra will emerge from the darkness and rule the entire world!
