Chapter 95: This Business Does Not Provide Delivery!
Could this be another trap, like the Sentry Potion, which was unusable?
The system hesitated before replying carefully: "I can only tell you that if you are categorized as a gold character, your strength must be qualified. And…"
"That's enough!" Thor cut her off, immediately clicking to purchase. The points were swiftly deducted with a "swish"…
"Where is she?" Thor looked around the empty room and his depleted points with confusion. Had the system swallowed the points?
A somewhat apologetic voice from the system said, "I didn't have a chance to mention earlier… Because it's a special price card , no delivery is provided… Would you like to go to the page to address this immediately?"
Thor: "…"
On the grass at the base of a mountain, a circle of light slowly appeared, and Thor stepped out of it.
"The system is really a mess, isn't it? No delivery service, just like with the Phoenix Force last time. After deducting the points, you send me to another world to find her? What if I can't defeat the opponent?"
Thor was left speechless, dealing with the frustrating system.
The system's voice was tinged with guilt: "It's not considered kidnapping… Since it's listed as an exchangeable item, it is only natural that the character will be implanted with compulsion to follow you …"
Her voice trailed off, making Thor roll his eyes.
Thor suddenly looked back at the portal, his eyes lighting up. "Can this teleportation connect two worlds?"
"Don't count on it. This is specific; only you and the characters you select can pass through. Moreover, once you bring someone back, they will disappear."
The system really didn't leave any loopholes!
"Forget it. Let's see what this place is."
Thor surveyed the desolate surroundings, muttering, "Where did the people from this place come from? Why not just send me directly instead of making me search all over the world?"
"This way is not sufficient; the target will definitely appear near the portal… Be cautious of the sky!"
"Swish"
Without further warning from the system, Thor already heard the sound of tearing air.
In this unfamiliar Otherworld, Thor's vigilance was heightened. His armor enveloped him, and Mjölnir appeared in his hand.
Looking up, a fighter jet was plummeting towards him, trailing black smoke.

"Oh, I thought I'd never come back."
At New York Airport, Stark was supported by Rhodes as he slowly disembarked the plane.
Seeing the stretcher being wheeled out, Stark quickly waved his hands. "Are you kidding me? Tell them to leave!"
"I suggest you go to the hospital," Rhodes said sincerely. "Everyone is concerned about your safety."
"No, no, no," Stark shook his head. "Right now, there are only two things on my mind: first, I want a hamburger, a Big Mac…"
"And then find a model? I suggest you focus on healing first…" Rhodes said with a wry smile.
"Damn it! Is that how you see me?"
Rhodes was about to agree when Stark continued, "I'm going to have a press conference!"
Rhodes was momentarily taken aback. Stark seemed different from before... huh? Why did it suddenly get dark...
A burly figure rushed toward them—specifically toward Tony Stark—but stumbled and ended up on the ground. "Boss, it's great to see you're alright! Damn, many shareholders have been worried lately, and I'm starting to discuss the funeral with them…"
Stark poked his head out from under Happy's body, feeling sore all over. "Rod, call the stretcher back. I think I need to go to the hospital."
..
As Thor watched the fighter jet fall from the sky, he retracted Mjölnir, subconsciously leaping to catch it, and gently lowered it to the ground.
He assumed the occupants of the jet might have been seriously injured or even killed. However, through the transparent cockpit, he saw a girl who appeared to be in shock but otherwise unharmed.
It seemed the safety of this aircraft was quite good.
The girl was exactly the one from the card...
Thor lifted the top cover of the stuck plane. The girl in the cockpit looked at Thor with curiosity.
Looking at the young girl before him, Thor tried to figure out what to say...
He thought, "What am I supposed to say? 'Little girl, Uncle will take you to see his goldfish'?"
That might scare her away...
At that moment, a calm voice came from behind.
"Let her go!"
