Marvel Gashapon Maniac

“Thor, how about trying GTA?” Jane suggested to Thor.

Because S.H.I.E.L.D. uses their own local area network, and almost all the agents are playing Batman, you rarely see anyone in GTA. Jane, who finds single-player mode boring, is planning to jump into the game.

"Huh? GTA? What game is that?" Thor, who was still a complete novice when it came to games, asked.

"It's a game where you can smash cups all you want without any problem. If you run out of money, I'll take you to rob someone." Jane said with a little excitement. Although she didn't like fighting and killing, she didn't mind making money in the game.

"Oh, by the way. Miss Angel, would you like to come along? There's a spare machine here." Jian invited, seeing Fu You, who was sunbathing on the table not far away.

"Jane, isn't it a bit inappropriate to invite angels to this kind of violent game?" Thor said sullenly.

In his mind, angels were creatures who constantly spouted moral principles and would stop anything illegal they saw. (From a book)

Since Jane just mentioned robbery, this game called GTA is definitely not some kind of peaceful farming game; maybe it's a game where you play as a robber?

Thor didn't want an angel standing beside him, lecturing him on morality and rules, when he didn't want to play.

However, Thor soon realized he was wrong.

Upon hearing that there were seats available and someone was calling GTA, Fu You immediately snapped out of his angelic state, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

"I have a feeling that this angel is a bit strange..." Thor couldn't help but think.

……

Thor was leisurely playing the game, but the situation in Asgard was far more complicated.

Odin, the king of the gods of Asgard, has fallen into a deep sleep, and Loki has temporarily become king because Thor is not in the vicinity.

But Loki's ambitions extended beyond merely becoming king for a short time.

Loki used the Rainbow Bridge, a special portal in Asgard, to travel to Jotunheim, the territory of the Frost Giants. No one knows what he talked about with the Frost Giants.

After Loki returned to Asgard, he saw Heimdall, the gatekeeper of the Rainbow Bridge, looking at him with a solemn expression.

"What's wrong? Something bothering you, Gatekeeper?" Loki teased Heimdall with a smile.

“I’m watching your every move in Heimdall, but I can’t see you or hear you.” Heimdall frowned. “You’ve shut me out.”

"Perhaps you're getting old and your abilities have deteriorated?" Loki replied nonchalantly, showing no anger at being questioned.

“My abilities are working fine. You jumped around earlier… Pfft. No, it’s nothing.” Heimdall paused halfway through his sentence and didn’t continue.

"Wait, wait, wait! What did you just say?" Loki seemed to have heard something bad.

"No, it's nothing, King of Asgard." Heimdall put on a serious face.

"Forget what's in your head! Now!" Loki roared, unable to contain himself. "I command you as king!"

“No problem, I will meditate later to forget it, Your Majesty.”

"Right now!"

……

Since there were only three GTA online players on the S.H.I.E.L.D. LAN at the time, Fu You and the others quickly reunited.

“Our mission is to crack down on gangs, so we need to prepare our weapons first,” Jane said.

"Alright, you take Thor to buy some weapons first. I have weapons at my house, I'll go back and get them." Fu You nodded; it wasn't impossible for two veterans to help a newbie with a mission.

"Alright, let's go first." The three of them split into two groups for the time being.

"I don't need those ordinary weapons from Midgard. I can take down those mortals all by myself," Thor couldn't help but complain on the way to the mission location.

“In the game, you’re just an ordinary person. Even if you were a god, it wouldn’t matter.” Jane handed Thor a pistol.

After everything that had happened, Jane had come to believe that Thor was a god, and she even overheard Thor's conversation with Coulson.

Jane believed Thor's identity to some extent, regarding things like the Asgardian gods, the Rainbow Bridge, and the Nine Realms.

However, because Thor is just as worrisome as a husky, Jane didn't feel much distance from him.

"Alright, we're here." Jane stopped the car; they had arrived at the mission location.

"Alright! I, Thor, declare war on these people today! I will cut off their leader's head!" As soon as he got out of the car, Thor shouted and charged towards the gang, wielding his pistol like a hammer.

then……

He was pulled behind the cover by Jane with only a sliver of health left.

If an ordinary person charged into a bunch of guns and wasn't killed by a hail of bullets, Thor would be considered lucky, especially since this is in a game.

"Looks like we'll have to wait for Miss Angel." Jane, hiding behind cover, occasionally fired back a couple of shots, but was suppressed by the gang's firepower and couldn't lift her head.

"Angels are such rigid, conventional guys. Even if they came, they wouldn't be of any help," Thor said, scoffing.

Before he could finish speaking, a burst of gunfire rang out, and the gangsters in the front row were riddled with bullets.

A figure arrived on the battlefield.

"Come on, today I'll send you to meet your God. Hahahaha!" With a burst of gunfire, the gang members fled in terror, covering their heads.

Fu You held a gun in each hand and fired wildly to suppress the gangsters' movements, while carrying eight guns on his back for easy replacement.

It's unclear whether it's because Fu You didn't remove the halo when she logged into the game, but now Fu You's game character also has an angel halo above her head.

Thor, who was hiding behind cover not far away with a pistol, was stunned.

"Is this an angel?"

Watching Fu You slaughter gang members in a frenzy, Thor began to question the meaning of life.

"RPG!" With a shout, Fu You fired an RPG that slammed into the middle of the gangster crowd, leaving a trail of flame.

The explosion shattered the cars the gangsters were using as cover, and it also shattered Thor's image of angels.

"Mother, you're right... fairy tales are all lies."

1. Of course, it's still the same old routine: asking for all sorts of things.

2. It's about time we got a recommendation slot. If you're okay with me updating 4 chapters for a recommendation, I'll apply for it soon. If we delay any longer, I don't know when it will be. I really don't have any manuscripts on hand. How about you give me a day off so I can save some?

3. I bought a Xiaomi speaker, but I'm not very good at using it. It feels so silly to talk to thin air. Then I remembered Downey acting in movies with a completely blank screen. Actors are really amazing.

4. Second update complete, I'm taking a break now.

Chapter 56 What? My dad isn't dead?

"The courtyard is so much fun, hahaha." Thor couldn't help but laugh as he had a blast playing and eating.

Having just finished a high-speed heist in GTA, Fu You led Thor to a famous restaurant in town after logging off.

With financial assistance from S.H.I.E.L.D., Fu You ordered all the restaurant's signature dishes.

Thor also treated Fu You very well, eating every last grain of rice.

“Life in Midgard is truly enjoyable,” Thor couldn’t help but exclaim, but then he shook his head with a disappointed expression.

"You guys eat first, I'm going out for a walk after eating too much," Thor said, pushing back his chair to leave first.

Jane and the others were happily eating and chatting while ordering new dishes. They nodded and continued eating.

Thor stood outside the door, looking around the town.

Children were playing football on the street, some adults were drinking and chatting at tables and chairs outside, and some young men and women were strolling around the town. Thor sensed something after the battle, something called peace.

"There's no major upheaval for now; Midgard is more harmonious than I imagined," Thor remarked, observing the peaceful scene on the street.

"Perhaps I was indeed too reckless before. If war breaks out, peace will cease to exist, and the ordinary life in Asgard might be disrupted?" Thor rarely put his mind to work; he had indeed thought a lot during his days in exile.

After he let go of his divine status, he seemed to be happier.

During the day, I play games; in the afternoon, I chat with Jian; and at night, I drink with a group of people at a bar.

Perhaps this is what the joy of life is all about? Ordinary and simple happiness, all built upon peace.

"Looks like you have something on your mind." Fu You had just finished eating and came out for a walk when he saw Thor standing at the door.

If Thor's usual expression is like a husky that has destroyed the house without realizing it, now he's probably like a golden retriever who has destroyed things and is now facing the wall in self-reflection; you can tell at a glance that he has something on his mind.

“Yes…” Thor sat down on a bench by the roadside: “I’m starting to understand why my father said I’m not fit to be king.”

Odin once said that Thor was reckless, lacked humility, and acted without thinking, and therefore was not qualified to be king.

Thor didn't understand at first, but now, during his exile, he seems to have grasped it a little.

“You’re not suited to be king, huh?” Fu You chuckled, recalling the reason Thor was exiled. “You’re quite like Varian.”

“Varian? Who’s that?” Thor asked, puzzled.

“He was a king, and a warrior.” Fu You told Thor the story of that legendary king from World of Warcraft.

Like Thor, Varian was hot-tempered in his youth, quick to anger and prone to violence, often resorting to the brute force of "bring up the Italian cannon!"

He was once called "the Alliance's brain-dead Garrosh" by Warcraft players.

But this hot-tempered man, unsuitable to be a king, slowly matured in the story of Warcraft.

Before the player knew it, Varian had become a competent king.

He controlled his anger, longed for peace, and began to consider the interests of the alliance in his actions.

In his youth, he refused to let the Worgen return to the Alliance out of spite, but as he matured, he even cooperated with Vol'jin, the Horde faction he used to dislike the most, to defeat Garrosh Hellscream.

He grew from an easily angered warrior into a truly valiant king.

If we're talking about any flaws in Varian's record...

It's probably his brainless behavior when he was young and throwing tantrums, and...

King Varian, you actually gave birth to a dog! (Just kidding!)

"That was truly a legendary king and warrior! I really want to meet him," Thor couldn't help but exclaim, showing great curiosity about the warrior in the story.

"Let's talk about it when I've finished Hearthstone or Warcraft," Fu You thought to himself.

"Forget it, I can't go back now anyway." Thor patted the dirt off his backside.

"Life in exile isn't so bad right now. I'm not going to the bar tonight; I'm going to kick that Joker's ass to pieces!"

“The Midgard is quite nice,” Thor thought to himself.

……

Inside the quarantine station:

"An unknown energy reaction was detected, but it has now disappeared," the agent at the quarantine station reported to Coulson.

"Another energy reaction? Let's go check it out." Coulson gathered a group of agents and drove to the location where the energy occurred.

But what Coulson didn't know was that the guests brought by this energy reaction had already entered the town.

Several people dressed in armor, resembling ancient knights, entered the town. A few agents eating on the rooftop glanced at them a few more times.

"Um...base, we've spotted Princess Xena, Jackie Chan, and Robinson," one of the agents said, pulling out a walkie-talkie.

The agent on the other end of the walkie-talkie paused, then said, "Please don't drink vodka during work hours, thank you."

"It's alright, one bottle is an appetizer, two bottles are a warming drink, and three bottles won't make you drunk," the agent said nonchalantly, but then suddenly felt something was off: "Seriously, we saw four strangely dressed people go to Thor and Miss Fu's location."

"I see. I'll report that to Agent Coulson," came the reply from the walkie-talkie.

While the agents were arguing, the four armored men had already arrived at the restaurant where Fu You and his group were staying.

Bang bang bang.

One of them knocked on the glass door of the restaurant, attracting the attention of everyone inside.

We've found you!

Thor smiled happily when he saw the person who had arrived.

"What brings you here?" Thor happily hugged them.

Seeing the puzzled expressions on Jane's and the others' faces, Thor introduced them to everyone: "These are my friends."

“We are Sif and the Three Knights,” the group introduced themselves.

“Thor, we’ve come to take you back,” said the woman in the lead, named Sif.

Thor glanced instinctively at the virtual reality headset lying to the side and said to the group, "I'm sorry, you know I can't go back... My father died because of me, I have to keep playing... Exile."

"Huh?" The group was taken aback. Sif replied, "Thor, your father is not dead."
