I'm not sure if it was because I'd grown accustomed to the Hulk's blood serum from last time, or if my body had already undergone sufficient modifications.
When I drank this so-called Intermediate Super Serum this time, my body didn't experience any significant pain.
There was only a slight tingling sensation throughout my body for a few minutes. Compared to the agony I'd endured before, this was practically like being bitten by a few mosquitoes.
After drinking it, I felt my body become more resilient, and my resistance to damage seemed to have increased considerably.
However, changes in strength, speed, and other abilities were minimal. I could sense a slight enhancement, but it definitely didn't exceed 10%.
Instead, I felt an indescribable transformation occurring within my body.
Since it's called a Divine Body, it must have unique advantages. I hope that when I eventually reach Asgard, this Divine Body will grant me some unexpected benefits. Otherwise, a body that's only Asgard-ian without awakened divine power would be better off continuing down the Hulk's path.
Of course, that's assuming I don't consider the increased lifespan.
In any case, I don't have any divine status or divine power.
Unlike Thor Odinson, who can summon lightning with his bare hands after awakening.
The Tier 3 Shop requires a total of over 10,000 points to unlock, which seems like an eternity away.
There was some good news, however: after the next shop upgrade, a portion of the items would become available for purchase and use by others.
Currently, all items were only effective for Qin Xiao himself.
This resolved one of Qin Xiao's concerns. If he were to find some women in this world, their lifespans would need to be considered. He couldn't live for millennia while his loved ones died one by one, leaving him with only a Big Guy at the end. What would be the point of that? *Become gay?* He already had a goddess fiancée, thank you very much.
He endured the boring opening ceremony of the Stark Expo.
Qin Xiao was contemplating whether to find the Big Guy and torment him a bit. *Kids need a good beating to grow up faster.*
Suddenly, Thor called.
"Qin, I need your help. I want to get a job!"
The abrupt request left Qin Xiao baffled. *Why would he suddenly want a job?*
"Sure, a job is no problem. But tell me your reasons!" Qin Xiao put on airs, adopting the tone of an elder.
"I can't regain Mjolnir's favor for now, so I just follow Jane around every day. But I'm a man. I can't live off her every day. Do you understand what I mean?"
Thor spoke somewhat awkwardly.
"Did Jane get tired of you eating so much?" Qin Xiao teased with a laugh.
"No, Jane is wonderful to me. I do eat a lot, but she's never asked me to do anything. I need to learn to support myself. Didn't you tell me that to become the true God of Thunder, I must first learn to be an ordinary person?"
"I'm trying to learn how to be ordinary—working, earning money, taking Jane out to eat, giving her small gifts... you understand, right, Qin? You'll help me, won't you?"
*The little schemer! All that preamble, and the real point was the part about taking his girlfriend out and buying her gifts.*
*Still, as the heir to Asgard's throne, he should have some pride.*
*Actually, finding him a job wouldn't be bad. Let him experience ordinary life. It'll give me more credit when I face Odin later.*
*But if he were working and Loki sent that Destroyer down again, innocent people could get hurt.*
*Qin Xiao wasn't a saint, but he couldn't let others die because of this.*
*After much thought, it was best for him to go over first.*
*In New Mexico, Black Widow had been assigned another mission by Nick Fury.*
Coulson was leading a team of scientists in a frantic effort to study the hammer lying on the ground.
Thanks to the research data provided by Jane and her colleagues, they were nearly certain that Asgard and the Nine Realms were real.
They existed somewhere in the universe, connected through subtle spatial links that linked the nine worlds together.
It's important to note that Jane and her team's findings were scientifically grounded, not just the stuff of Norse mythology.
This made Coulson a bit evasive when he saw Qin Xiao, reminded of the bet they'd made about his hair.
Qin Xiao didn't mind; it was just a joke anyway. Besides, he was here to take the Big Guy out and show him the world.
For this, he needed Coulson's help. The fake IDs Jane's team had gotten for a few hundred dollars wouldn't fool even a state trooper.
S.H.I.E.L.D. had initially planned to keep Thor and Jane confined to the small town.
But considering the research results, if everything was true, Thor was a walking time bomb. Who knew when he'd cause trouble?
With Qin Xiao around, it was safer.
Though Qin Xiao sometimes seemed to attract trouble, his formidable strength was undeniable.
"Now that we're done with Thor, can you tell me about Blick 177A?"
After discussing Thor, Coulson brought the conversation back to the suddenly appearing business card. After all, spatial teleportation technology was terrifying. Whether for assassination, intelligence theft, or any other reason, S.H.I.E.L.D. wanted to control or master it.
Qin Xiao understood Coulson's concerns perfectly.
"I'd advise you not to make any moves against them. They're an organization on Earth with combat power rivaling Odin, the All-Father. This was mainly about the Big Guy, and their leader is actually friends with Odin."
Qin Xiao's ambiguous answer clearly didn't reassure Coulson, who said anxiously, "But that's spatial teleportation! Do you realize what that means?"
"I do. I know you're concerned about the safety of the world. But trust me, partner, they've been protecting it far longer than you have. So long that when they last elected their leader, it was at least a thousand years before the invention of the light bulb."
Patting the somewhat stunned Coulson on the shoulder, Qin Xiao urged him to take his time digesting the information as he hurried over to Thor and the others.
"I've got your Earth documents—passport, driver's license, bank card—here. I've deposited $100,000 into the account. That should cover your expenses while you're on Earth."
Qin Xiao handed Thor a manila envelope.
"$100,000? Why are you giving me money? A job would be enough!"
It was clear Thor hadn't wasted his time with Jane in recent days. He already had a basic understanding of money and some grasp of Earthly common sense.
"Your father's old friend on Earth asked me to look after you, so there's no need for a job. You're a prince, after all. Come with me and experience the joys and sorrows of the people around you!"
"If you insist on working, consider yourself my personal bodyguard. Here's your first month's salary."
