Chapter 206: Main Quest - Wanda Rescue Plan
"Okay, I've just created a small program for you. You can now communicate with people outside through the system, but there's a catch..."
"A catch? What is it?"
"The outside world is currently in 2014, using a second-generation digital mobile communication network at best. Inside the enchantment, however, it seems to be the 1960s, and there are not even 2G base stations yet..."
"That's not a problem. My communication device is equipped with the universe's top black technology from the Collector. There are no such limitations!"
Thor said, taking out his phone, only to be stunned...
How did his smartphone turn into a brick?
Examining the box carefully, he saw a small label—K-1 mobile phone.
Thor: ""
Thor looked up helplessly as Wanda approached him with a bottle of red wine.
"Congratulations! You've triggered the main mission—Save the Scarlet Witch!"
"Mission Requirements: Resolve the crisis of Wanda's rampage!"
"Completion Condition: Unravel Wanda's emotional turmoil and persuade her to willingly remove the enchantment."
"Mission Rewards: 30 million points, one artifact lottery ticket, one ultimate artificial intelligence, and 30% qualification for using mysterious props."
"Failure Conditions: 1. Wanda is completely out of control. 2. Wanda dies."
"Failure Penalty: The main mission will be interrupted and can never be reopened. Additionally, you will lose the crucial combat asset against Thanos—Scarlet Witch."
So, this is the main mission?
The system has been active for so long, and now a task has appeared for the first time!
And the rewards are extraordinarily generous. Whether it's points, artifacts, or artificial intelligence, each one alone is enough to surpass 90% of ordinary tasks, and now they appear together!
Moreover, there is the final reward, which seems a bit unusual.
Thor's intuition told him that this was the most valuable reward of all!
In the Marvel universe, many pieces of equipment and abilities aren't useful just because you have them. Often, eligibility is not tied to strength.
For instance, the Power Gem is useless for ordinary people except for self-destruction; Mjölnir can only be lifted by those deemed worthy, inheriting Thor's power; and the Phoenix Force, the perfect host is considered a qualified individual.
Clearly, if it were a qualification to use ordinary items, it would not be placed alongside these other rewards, especially not as a mere 30% qualification.
Recalling the nightmare from earlier, could it be...
Indeed, the mission is challenging with no hints provided, and the cost of failure is severe.
"Here you go, the wine you asked for."
Wanda handed him the red wine, and Thor drank it down.
Asgardians drink as much as they drink water...
Thor set down the empty bottle and smiled: "Thank you. I don't recall why I fell unconscious earlier. Can you tell me how I ended up here?"
"You don't remember?"
Wanda seemed surprised: "I found you lying by the side of the road and brought you inside because it wasn't safe outside.
By the way, my name is Wanda Maximoff. I just moved to this small town yesterday, and I live nearby.
And you?"
... ...
Are you acting as an actor, so deeply involved in your role?
Thor smirked but did not confront her: "Thor Odinson. I was once an agent of a mysterious organization, but now I'm being hunted by my enemies. I ended up here under the name Kane."
Wanda clapped her hands: "Then you came to the right place! This town is very quiet, with few people, and almost no strangers passing through. You'll definitely be undisturbed here!"
This is no exaggeration. Those inside the barrier can't get out, and those outside won't break in!
From the moment Thor entered the barrier, an elderly man somewhere in Norway, who had been traveling, suddenly sensed something was amiss.
His eyes narrowed quickly.
It was one of the most relaxed days Odin had experienced in countless years. After relinquishing the burden of the throne, he only needed to eat, drink, and bask in the sun all day. His complexion had greatly improved.
Pretending to be an ordinary old man and visiting the origins of Norse mythology, Odin enjoyed bragging to the locals under a third-party identity. He felt this was the life!
Of course, to be so comfortable, it was crucial to be confident in Thor's abilities.
When Odin was around, the whole universe viewed Asgard with more respect.
And now, Thor has even greater potential. Once Odin passes away, Thor will be nearly invincible. With such a formidable successor, Asgard's strong position in the universe will continue.
