Chapter 80: Help Me Find a Girl...
"Drip! Accept the mission - Thanos Terminator: Use all means to deal a blow to Thanos in every possible way."
"Time limit: Before Tony Stark is kidnapped."
"Task Reward 1: After completing the attack on Thanos, you can earn points based on the impact of your attack, with a daily limit of 10,000 points, which can be accumulated for up to a week."
"Task Reward 2: After the mission ends, mysterious rewards will be given based on the total completion level."
"Punishment for failure: None, I'll decide that later..."
…
The failure penalty section somehow made Thor feel that the system had a touch of endearing arrogance.
"Miss System, there's an issue with your mission. It's only at 2000 now—where's Thanos in this?"
The system was silent for a moment before responding through gritted teeth: "Any attack can be effective. Fine, try it yourself. Don't bother me!"
Thor: "..."
The system is upset, what to do? I am Waiting online, hurry up!
Well, the system's job is just to issue tasks and rewards; it doesn't have to provide strategies. Thor's patience was wearing thin...
…
The task name is quite intriguing: Thanos Terminator. It seems relevant to him.
After all, we are the ones who've faced Thanos head-on!
Others like the Witch, the Avengers, Doctor Strange, etc., claim that everyone can defeat Thanos, but none of them can actually take him down!
At this moment, Captain Marvel is still wandering the cosmos, Doctor Strange is still at the Sorcerer Supreme's academy, and Scarlet Witch seems to be in her early years...
Wait, Wanda?
Thor suddenly had a realization, picked up his phone, and made a video call.
"Your Highness Thor, you're calling me directly. I'm unsure what tasks you have for me."
The voice on the phone was filled with deference and flattery. If it weren't for the plump face displayed on the screen, one wouldn't believe this was the notorious crime lord of New York and even the entire United States—Kingpin!
"Alright, alright, drop the formalities. I'm well aware of who you are."
Thor said irritably, "Aren't you worried about your subordinates overhearing and damaging your reputation?"
"No, no, no. Despite how grateful I am for saving my wife and son, I can't show too much gratitude," Kingpin replied with a smile. "Moreover, becoming a devotee of a god and receiving blessings will only make my followers more loyal to me!"
The latter part is the key...
In many cultures, charlatans are quite popular, let alone a genuine god.
Just like the leader of a 19th-century peasant uprising who claimed to be the Second Son of God, instead of feeling humble, he found every reason to make such claims...
This is especially true in Western countries with a cultural tradition of divine right of kings.
Of course, this only works if the god in question is indifferent; otherwise, trying to seize power can become problematic...
"Forget it, it's up to you. I need your help finding someone—a girl about five or six years old..."
Kingpin: "..."
I already knew this guy's personal life wasn as scandalous as Tony Stark's, but this is something else.
A five or six-year-old girl?
Although it's not unheard of for Kingpin to have such interests, people with this particular hobby are usually at the bottom of the criminal hierarchy...
Seeing Kingpin's look of surprise, Thor quickly added, "I have a normal reason, with other arrangements in mind. Her name is Wanda Maximoff, born in an Eastern European country, probably near Sokovia…"
I need to find the future Scarlet Witch and start planning ahead. As for the details, Thor hadn't quite figured them out yet...
