"Don't worry, he's not dead!"
"He hasn't lost any arms or legs either, and he hasn't actually turned into a 'Third Princess'!"
"You guys should hurry up and fix the Bifrost Bridge; we're waiting to use it."
"Need the Tesseract? I'll mail it to you."
After the last bit of Odin's divine power in Fang Yuan's clone dissipated, Fang Yuan's clone was also canceled.
As for Loki, let him wander around outside for a while.
Fang Yuan never intended to have Loki make his debut on Earth like Thor.
Helping him cause trouble outside was the right path.
Back on Earth, the Military was busy cleaning up the battlefield. Although no high-tech items were left behind, the Frost Giant corpses were excellent research materials.
Fang Yuan didn't stop them. Although General Ross's actions were suspicious of snatching spoils of war, Fang Yuan was magnanimous; how could he lower himself to his level?
Anyway, when the time came, Fang Yuan would get a share of the Military's research results.
What? Ross won't give it up?
With Athena around, it wasn't up to Ross to decide whether to give it or not.
*Rumble!*
At this moment, dust rose in the distance as a long motorcade surged toward them, making the soldiers very alert, thinking it was a new wave of invaders.
But Fang Yuan remained calm. He gathered Tony, Howard, and Banner together. Sure enough, as the dust cleared, people realized it was a swarm of reporters.
"Calm down, calm down, one at a time!"
"Anyone running around wildly won't get to ask any questions!"
Fang Yuan was very experienced and quickly maintained order.
And so, the first post-war press conference of the Avengers was held amidst the busy activities of the soldiers.
Naturally, first in line were Natasha and Hawkeye.
"May I ask where the Sorcerer Supreme has gone?" Natasha asked.
After the Ancient One 'resurrected' Fang Yuan, she left immediately, taking the Frost Giant prisoners with her.
Fang Yuan gave Natasha a slight glare.
"We're friends with benefits, after all, and you're not even concerned about me?" Fang Yuan complained in his heart.
However, since he was the one who had hyped up the Ancient One as a top-tier celebrity, Fang Yuan could accept it.
"The Sorcerer Supreme exhausted too much energy and has returned to Kamar-Taj to recover." A look of shame appeared on his face, making everyone believe the Sorcerer Supreme was in that state because she saved him.
"Were you really dead just now?" a reporter asked.
"Yes." Fang Yuan never lied in front of reporters.
It's not called lying if you don't get caught.
"That's incredible! Everyone saw it—the Avengers saved the World!" someone couldn't help but say.
Fang Yuan specifically looked over and memorized the appearance of the person who spoke.
When he got back, he'd have Athena secretly give that person a promotion and a raise!
Why secretly?
Because this person wasn't a plant he'd arranged; it was entirely the voice of the people!
And that was indeed the case.
Although the Avengers was a very new organization, Superheroes themselves drew a lot of attention. Coupled with the live broadcast showing them fighting bloodily to resist the invasion, they had captured the hearts of the entire audience.
Who could reject a group of people like this protecting their Planet?
One could tell by looking at the reporters who dispersed for interviews; even Hulk, who usually received the least attention, was surrounded by a crowd of people.
Saving the World has always been the fastest way to gain fans.
In Fang Yuan's company panel, Tony and Howard were both one step closer to their fourth-tier rewards. Hulk's reputation had also reached 86; it seemed the sight of him brutally beating the Frost Giants had left a deep impression on the audience.
The Hulk's second-tier reward was also quite interesting.
[Item - double shorts (B-Rank): The wearer undergoes a check every seven days and chooses one of the following two effects: 1. Intelligence increased by 100%. 2. Intelligence decreased by 90%, Strength and Constitution increased by 100%, Agility increased by 50%. Limit: C-Rank.]
Hmm, very interesting.
But Fang Yuan wouldn't wear them if his life depended on it.
Not just because these shorts were in the style of Hulk's little underwear, but more because if his intelligence dropped by 90%, Fang Yuan's whole persona would collapse.
The Black King could be without powers, but he couldn't be without a brain.
Of course, Fang Yuan himself had also unlocked the third-tier reward.
[Name: Fang Yuan]
[Level: C+]
[Reputation: 101 (Famous)]
[Unlocked Reward: Third-tier Reward (Available to claim)]
Thanks to his heroic sacrifice on the battlefield and subsequent resurrection by the Sorcerer Supreme, Fang Yuan had plenty of topics to be talked about, so his reputation rose very quickly.
It wouldn't be a joke to say that Fang Yuan's fame wasn't earned through fighting, but through dying.
However, Fang Yuan didn't care at all.
The method didn't matter; what mattered was obtaining the reputation.
Speaking of which, Fang Yuan was also very curious. Third-tier rewards were usually Character Templates, and he wondered what kind of reward he could get that fit his personal characteristics.
[Obtained Item - Special Invitation Letter (S-Rank): Allows the signing of one employee outside of the invitation range, and grants special effects based on the different employee. Cooldown: 10 years.]
"Huh?"
This was the first time Fang Yuan didn't understand the meaning of a reward the moment he saw it.
His first reaction was—'That's it?'
One must know that Fang Yuan's employee signing range already covered all intelligent life, which was an extremely vast scope. Was his third-tier reward really just this thing?
And the cooldown was incredibly long; he could only sign one person every 10 years?
But when Fang Yuan saw the rank of this [Special Invitation Letter]... S-Rank?
Then never mind.
"Ahem, there must be something I haven't figured out yet." Fang Yuan immediately changed his tune.
No kidding, this was S-Rank.
S-Rank couldn't be wrong!
Fang Yuan tried to understand its meaning. Literally, it meant that even if Fang Yuan signed a rock, it would meet the criteria.
But there was a problem.
The invitation letter required the invitee to agree to the invitation, and things without consciousness couldn't agree.
Fang Yuan couldn't just assume the other party agreed; even if he did, the company panel wouldn't.
"So I can sign a ghost?" Fang Yuan figured it out.
Of course, that wasn't a curse; it was literal.
Fang Yuan could indeed sign things like ghosts now, as long as the other party agreed.
Or other entities that had consciousness but no physical body.
"For example... eh?"
Fang Yuan suddenly thought of a character that seemed quite suitable, but he wasn't sure if it was feasible.
"I can give it a try." His inner fun-seeker attribute was stirred up again.
The Avengers' exploits quickly went viral. Although it didn't unlock new rewards for Fang Yuan, it solidified the reputations of the Avengers members.
So Fang Yuan's slick maneuvers naturally followed. Vought Corporation launched many branded products overnight—
Hulk Brand Protein Powder.
Iron Man Brand Batteries.
There were even dirty items like Chief Sorcerer Brand First Aid Kits.
For the sake of fame, Fang Yuan was even willing to use himself as a meme.
Naturally, official methods followed as well.
As the World's first and only Superhero team, the government's covetousness was not hidden at all.
But at this time, Fang Yuan whipped out his S.H.I.E.L.D. ID card.
"Look closely, I'm with S.H.I.E.L.D., and the Avengers are also under the direct jurisdiction of S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury. If you have a problem, go find him."
Fang Yuan pointed at the S.H.I.E.L.D. emblem on the ID card and spoke to the official who had come to test the waters.
The official representative wanted to say something else, but Fang Yuan directly drew a circle on the ground and transferred him outside Stark Tower.
"Can't you upgrade the building's security level? How can just anyone come up?" Fang Yuan found Tony and complained.
Tony also shrugged helplessly: "These official people are useful for Pepper's work. You know, she's the one running Stark Industries now."
"Oh?" Fang Yuan heard the frustration in Tony's voice, "Is Pepper angry again?"
Tony nodded: "Even though I stood in front of the Frost Giants when the situation was unfavorable and was praised by many, Pepper has always been unwilling for me to do such dangerous things."
"So she's been throwing a fit at me these past few days. It's fine, I can handle it." Tony had his own way of dealing with Pepper.
"Anyway, have you thought it over?" Tony suddenly asked.
Fang Yuan shook his head: "Using Stark Tower as the Avengers headquarters isn't quite right. There's basically no space here for superheroes to train their abilities."
"That's true." Tony sighed, "So you still plan to rebuild an Avengers Base on the outskirts of New York? That's going to take a long time."
Fang Yuan chuckled: "What if I have the Kamar-Taj sorcerers open a dozen Portals at the construction site?"
"Uh..." Tony was suddenly stunned, "Then that would indeed shorten the time significantly."
But he couldn't help but ask: "Does the Sorcerer Supreme know you're using magic like this?"
"Did you forget? I'm the Chief Sorcerer!" Fang Yuan was very proud; he was a professional at using public resources for private gain.
"By the way, how is Thor?" Tony asked about his teammate, "Ever since he ran into the rainbow, there's been no news of him."
"His girlfriend has almost covered the roof of Stark Tower with her monitoring equipment."
Jane Foster's equipment could detect the energy of the Bifrost Bridge, so that she would know the moment Thor returned.
"I heard from the Sorcerer Supreme that Asgard's Bifrost Bridge was destroyed and is still being repaired. Thor won't be able to return until it's fixed," Fang Yuan explained.
"I see," Tony said.
He pushed his source of information onto the Ancient One, and Tony immediately believed it.
Ever since the Ancient One had single-handedly dealt with the Frost Giant army and resurrected Fang Yuan in public, in the hearts of Tony and most people, the Sorcerer Supreme was already synonymous with being omnipotent.
This caused the ranks of Kamar-Taj's Outer Disciples to grow again, which was one of the reasons why Fang Yuan's Vought Corporation could produce so many weird products.
"Fury is probably cursing you; you've pushed all the responsibility onto him," Tony added with a smile and a sigh.
Fang Yuan said indifferently: "Anyway, he's wanted this super team for so many years. Now that we've proactively gone to him, he should help us solve some trouble."
Speaking of trouble, Fang Yuan immediately thought that Nick Fury also had trouble, which was the HYDRA hidden within S.H.I.E.L.D.
Before, Fang Yuan was too busy with Iron Man, Hulk, and Thor to bother. Now that he had some free time, it was about time to go and accept the loyalty of the HYDRA members.
