Shi Xiaolei was really uneasy when he just traveled through time and realized that he was in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

In addition, he is based in New York, which is an accident-prone area... Thinking of a group of aliens falling from the sky one day, bringing a devastating blow to his life, and possibly even threatening his life, Shi Xiaolei couldn't bear it. The idea of ​​fleeing New York couldn't help coming up. As for the instigator who caused this big incident, that is, Loki, he only felt disgust and resistance, as well as a little fear.

After all, Shi Xiaolei had just been here for a short time, not even two weeks—from the first day, he explored the "daily sign-in" function in the system, and got some inconspicuous signs when he signed in one copy a day. small rewards. At that time, Shi Xiaolei was far from getting enough 300 check-in points to activate the 'blind box' function...

I don't know how powerful the new features waiting to be opened are. I thought that the prizes opened in the blind box are the same as those obtained when I log in every day. They are all daily necessities such as paper towels and soap. In the first half month of his arrival, Shi Xiaolei was very pessimistic about the system that traveled with him, and he didn't get any sense of security from it at all.

Except that they are a little taller than others and have a little more body, there is not much difference in ability. And this little capital is obviously not enough for Shi Xiaolei to protect himself from the Chitauri attack.

As for standing up and avoiding Loki, it goes without saying.

From Shi Xiaolei's point of view at that time, it was a normal reaction to think of fleeing New York and to be afraid of Loki.

And now...

With the integration of the characters in "Diablo 2", Shi Xiaolei's own abilities have been greatly improved.

With his own strength alone, he can already fight the Hulk head-on without losing the wind, let alone the Chitauri, or Loki? You know, the one who can lift Loki by his feet and throw him around, and complain about the existence of "so weak god".

In addition, there are many helpers gathered around...

The growth of his own strength improved Shi Xiaolei's spirit.

Today, he has completely dispelled the uneasiness in his heart. For example, now, even if Luo Ji appeared in front of his eyes, Shi Xiaolei didn't feel any pressure, and his mood was very calm.

Of course, the calm mentioned here refers to maintaining a normal mind, not that after seeing Loki, he ignored him without any thought.

After all, Rocky is not a pure villain. In the original plot, he occasionally showed another side of himself.

It can be regarded as a character who is both good and evil. If you take off the colored glasses and look at it from another angle, Loki is quite interesting...or to put it more bluntly-if you are sure that you will not suffer from his backstab. Well, you can indeed have a lot of fun while teasing Loki.

Like now.

Before Shi Xiaolei finished talking about the revelations he heard from Thor, Loki had already shown a bitter face.

Seeing his current depressed and aggrieved expression, a thought suddenly flashed in Shi Xiaolei's heart, and he suddenly understood why Thor liked this guy so much—he regarded Loki as a blood brother, and believed that his counterattack would not be true. Injury to myself, coupled with my rough skin and thick flesh, I don't care about those "reverse injuries" who make small troubles... From Thor's standpoint, I will only remember how fun it is to tease my brother, and I am getting deeper and deeper. in.

How could Thor not love a toy as good as Loki?

"... Is there anything wrong with me?" After being stared at by Shi Xiaolei for a while, Loki finally couldn't help asking.

"Uh, sorry." Only then did he react, Shi Xiaolei smiled a little awkwardly, and found a reasonable excuse: "No, I just think that you are not the same as Thor..."

"Indeed." Before Shi Xiaolei could finish speaking, Stark nodded with deep sympathy: "That fellow Thor... Anyway, I have never seen a prince like him. You seem more reliable, more like A member of the royal family."

At first, he was still a little dissatisfied, thinking that Shi Xiaolei was mocking him for lacking the boldness that Asgardians should have.

But after hearing Stark's addition, and seeing Shi Xiaolei's nodding in agreement, Loki realized that he had misunderstood.

The dissatisfaction in his heart was cleared up, and his mood was also fluttering. The corners of Loki's mouth turned up, and he raised the cup in his hand with a smile: "Thank you, I am very happy to hear such an evaluation."

"The wine is good, but the glass is a little bit bad." After taking a sip, Stark cocked his mouth and asked Loki in a speechless voice, "Is it because the wine glass is made of wood to prevent it from being broken?" ? To be honest, this glass is really not worthy of wine."

"When you drink, it is a wine utensil. When the wine in the glass is drunk, it becomes fuel." After drinking the wine in the glass, he threw the glass on the ground. Loki raised his hand and followed The wine waiter said hello, and then pointed in the direction of the kitchen: "Using the wood soaked in wine as fuel, the roasted meat also has a faint aroma of wine, and the taste is better than direct roasting." .”

Taking the wood directly to make wine is a big waste of wine, so I changed the method, first made the wood into wine glasses, and let the wood be stained with wine by giving the guests the opportunity to pour wine? Is it really just to make the barbecue more delicious, so I came up with such a set of procedures?

actually not.

In the depths of this appearance, there are more profound reasons, which involve the two aspects of 'foreign exchanges' and 'environmental protection' respectively.

Just like providing shelter to the dwarves in exchange for them to create various equipment and daily metal utensils for the Asgardians, as the former "proprietor", the difference between Asgard and the other realms that are now actually controlled by it , also has a similar relationship.

Take these wooden wine glasses for example~lightnovelpub.net~ Most of them were produced in Vanaheim, and they were regarded as one of the tributes presented to Asgard. In return, when Vanaheim encounters a crisis or civil strife, Asgard must fulfill the obligations stipulated in the agreement and send troops to help Vanaheim solve the trouble and get through the crisis.

Of course, what is explained here is its nature, not its value.

After all, the material for making wine glasses is just the most inconspicuous wood, which is not of much value. No matter how large the quantity is, it can only be regarded as a top priority in the list of tributes Vanaheim presented to Asgard.

The so-called "environmental protection" is even simpler to understand.

Friends who have watched the original film know that Asgard is a "flat plate" floating in the universe, and its area is actually not that big.

This means that the resources locally produced in Asgard are extremely limited.

However, the Asgardians don't like to use the high-tech that they have mastered in their daily life, including making fire and cooking, and they still prefer to use open fire instead of electric energy.

So, here comes the problem.

How many trees can be cut down in such a big place?

Digging underground, even if you don't care about the damage to the surface, how much coal and oil can you dig out?

It is obvious that one's own output is only a drop in the bucket compared to consumption needs.

Anyway, it's not enough to cut it down, so I don't want to cut any of them... Thinking of this, the Asgardians simply gave up the idea of ​​self-production and self-use, and while emphasizing the protection of their own environment, they transferred their needs to The outside world relies on 'imports' to maintain all aspects of consumption.

Speaking of which, part of the reason why Asgard's local environment is so good and the scenery can be kept so beautiful comes from here.
