For some reason, when Coulson saw a handsome, bull-like young man through the surveillance monitor, he couldn't help but feel that his hair was in danger.
"All personnel, retreat! Do not engage this individual. I repeat, withdraw from your posts and let him in!"
To confirm his suspicions, Coulson ordered all the guards to stand down.
"Let's go. We'll take a look ourselves."
Qin Xiao led Coulson and Black Widow straight to where the hammer was located.
When the three of them arrived, Thor had just gotten there as well.
He was completely unaware that three people were approaching from behind.
Instead, he stared at the hammer with fascination, murmuring to himself.
I've finally found you. I think…
"Sorry, sir, this area seems to be off-limits. But judging by the way you look, it seems you've lost your beloved. Is this your boyfriend? The shape looks rather inconvenient to use."
Qin Xiao interrupted Thor's soliloquy, pointing at the hammer and laughing.
Thor tilted his head and thought for more than ten seconds before finally understanding what Qin Xiao meant.
"How dare you blaspheme a god! I am Thor of Asgard, son of Odin, father of the gods! I am—"
Qin Xiao cut him off again.
"Alright, alright. All this fuss is just because you want your partner back, right? It's right there. Go get it."
Coulson and Black Widow were both deeply shocked, because what this man said perfectly matched what Qin Xiao had said earlier.
Both of them were top-tier agents with unparalleled insight into human nature. They could tell that this so-called madman was telling the truth.
Either he was insane—or he wasn't. And if he was insane, how could his words align so precisely with Qin Xiao's? That couldn't possibly be a coincidence.
Before coming to Earth, Thor was undoubtedly a barbarian who spoke without thinking.
If Qin Xiao were allowed to do whatever he wanted—
Thor did not immediately reach for the hammer. Instead, he snarled viciously at Qin Xiao.
"Very well, you blasphemer. Once I reclaim my hammer, I'll teach you a proper lesson and show you what it means to fear the gods!"
Qin Xiao, Black Widow, and Coulson almost rolled their eyes at the same time.
Black Widow and Coulson even began to doubt their own instincts. This man in front of them had to be insane. He looked mentally unstable.
Thor didn't care what anyone thought of him. All he wanted was to reclaim his hammer and prove to Odin that he was right.
He took just two or three steps before reaching the hammer, then grasped it confidently.
Normally, Mjolnir felt weightless in Thor's hands. But this time, no matter how hard he tried, the hammer didn't budge.
"Ahhhhh!"
This time, he used both hands, putting in all his strength while struggling to suppress the flush creeping across his face.
But the hammer still didn't move an inch.
"Father… why? Why?! Ahhh!"
Whether it was Odin's scolding or his exile to Earth, Thor had always been like a child who had never truly been beaten down. He had never taken his parents' threats seriously.
He believed that as long as he reclaimed the hammer, he could return to Asgard and prove himself right.
But the motionless hammer completely shattered his confidence. A sudden sense of abandonment and sorrow surged from the depths of his heart.
"Looks like your boyfriend's mad at you. Did you cheat on him with someone new? Let me guess—was it an axe, or a spiked club?"
Qin Xiao said with a grin.
For some reason, whenever Qin Xiao saw Thor looking serious—or foolish—he couldn't resist teasing him.
Despite being over a thousand years old, Thor looked like a teenager who had lost his favorite toy.
"You bastard!"
Qin Xiao's words transformed all of Thor's grief and reluctance into pure rage.
Thor roared angrily and charged straight at Qin Xiao.
"Poor child. You really need a good night's sleep."
Even without his divine power, Thor could easily defeat an ordinary person—but he was no match for Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao sidestepped and struck the back of Thor's neck with a knife-hand.
Thor's body swayed briefly before collapsing to the ground.
"Find somewhere to put this poor guy. He's no longer a threat. Someone should come to pick him up tomorrow."
"Someone's looking for him?" Coulson asked. "Other gods?"
Even though Thor failed to lift the hammer, Coulson's intuition still told him that Qin Xiao was right.
"For astrophysicists, it's best to assign a few people to keep an eye on them. Their research will bring you some unexpected surprises."
With that, Qin Xiao turned and walked away.
"Natalie, what do you think?" Coulson asked Black Widow after Qin Xiao left. "About Qin Xiao."
"It sounds unbelievable. Whatever Asgard truly is—gods or something else—and whether someone comes for him tomorrow, this hammer alone explains everything. I don't know how Qin knows all this, and sometimes he seems… unfair. But he's trustworthy, isn't he?"
…
Qin Xiao turned around and spoke directly to the system in his mind.
"System, I should have already completed Thor's task. Why didn't I get any points? I swear this guy will never forget me for the rest of his life."
Whenever a superhero appeared, the system always assigned Qin Xiao a task—to get to know them and leave a deep impression. This time was no exception.
"Thor does not yet know the host's name, so the task is not complete."
The emotionless system voice echoed in his mind.
I forgot to tell him my name. That's really awkward. But in that situation, introducing myself would've been way too abrupt.
"There is now a new task. The host may choose to accept or decline."
The system spoke again.
"Oh?" Qin Xiao replied. "Let's hear it."
"During Thor's exile on Earth, assist him in completing his inner transformation and regaining the recognition of Mjolnir. Upon completion, the host will earn the friendship of the All-Father, Odin."
This task felt similar to his encounter with Banner, except the Hulk serum reward had been far more tangible. Odin's friendship?
Qin Xiao pondered the reward.
"System, why does this task specifically mention that I can choose whether to accept or reject it?"
"Odin exiled Thor to Earth so that he could become a qualified king. If the host assists in completing this process, the host will inevitably enter Asgard's field of vision, and Odin will be grateful. For the current host, Odin's gratitude may bring unexpected benefits—but entering Odin's notice too early may not necessarily be a good thing."
Qin Xiao understood. It was a double-edged sword.
He hesitated briefly, then spoke decisively to the system.
"I accept!"
