When he had just traveled through time and figured out that he was in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Shi Xiaolei felt really uneasy.

In addition, his destination was New York, an area prone to accidents... When he thought that one day a group of aliens would fall from the sky, bringing a devastating blow to his life, and possibly even threatening his own life, Shi Xiaolei... I couldn't help but think of escaping New York. As for the instigator of this major incident, Loki, he only felt disgust and resistance, as well as a little fear.

After all, Shi Xiaolei had just arrived at that time, not even two weeks was enough - from the first day, he figured out the 'daily sign-in' function in the system, and got some valuable information when signing in one copy a day. An eye-catching little reward. At that time, Shi Xiaolei was far from getting enough 300 check-in points to activate the 'blind box' function...

I didn’t know how powerful the new features waiting to be unlocked were, and I thought the prizes in the blind box were the same as what I got when I signed in every day, and they were all daily necessities such as tissues and soap. In the first half month of his arrival, Shi Xiaolei was very dissatisfied with the system that traveled with him and did not get any sense of security from it.

Apart from being a bit taller than the others and having a bit of a build, there isn't much difference in ability. And this little capital was obviously not enough to allow Shi Xiaolei to protect himself from the Chitauri attack.

As for standing up and trying to stop the trouble with Loki, that goes without saying.

From Shi Xiaolei's point of view at that time, he would think of escaping from New York and be afraid of Loki, which was actually a normal reaction.

And now...

With the integration of characters from "Diablo 2", Shi Xiaolei's own abilities have been greatly improved.

With his own strength alone, he can already fight the Hulk head-on without losing, let alone the Chitauri or Loki? You know, the one who can lift Loki up by his feet and throw him around, and complain about "what a weak god".

Plus there are so many helpers around me...

The growth of his own strength has improved Shi Xiaolei's morale.

To this day, he has completely eliminated his uneasiness. For example, now, even if Luo Ji himself appeared in front of him, Shi Xiaolei did not feel any pressure and felt very calm.

Of course, the calmness mentioned here refers to maintaining a normal mind. It does not mean that after seeing Loki, he just ignored him without any thoughts.

After all, Loki is not a pure villain. In the original plot, he occasionally shows another side of himself.

He can be regarded as a character who is both good and evil. If you take off your colored glasses and look at it from another angle, Loki is quite interesting...or to put it more bluntly - if you are sure that you will not be stabbed by him in the back. Loss, then, there is certainly a lot of fun to be had in teasing Loki.

Such as now.

Before Shi Xiaolei could finish the revelation he heard from Thor, Loki had already revealed a bitter look on his face.

Looking at his depressed and aggrieved expression, a thought suddenly flashed through Shi Xiaolei's mind, and he suddenly understood why Thor liked this guy so much - he regarded Loki as a blood brother, and was sure that his counterattack would not If he really hurts himself, and he is thick-skinned, he doesn't care about those petty fights... From Thor's point of view, he will only remember how fun it is to tease his younger brother, and he will become more and more interested in it. Deep in it.

How could Thor not love a toy as good as Loki?

"...Is there anything wrong with me?" After being stared at by Shi Xiaolei for a while, Loki finally couldn't help but ask.

"Uh, sorry." After realizing it, Shi Xiaolei smiled slightly awkwardly and found a reasonable excuse: "No, I just feel that you and Thor are different..."

"Indeed." Before Shi Xiaolei finished speaking, Stark nodded with deep sympathy: "That guy Thor... Anyway, I have never seen a prince like him. You seem more reliable, more Like a royal."

Initially, he was a little dissatisfied, thinking that Shi Xiaolei was mocking him for not being as generous as an Asgardian.

But after hearing Stark's addition and seeing Shi Xiaolei nodding in agreement, Loki realized that he had misunderstood.

The dissatisfaction in his heart was gone, and his mood was lifted. The corners of Loki's mouth turned up, and he raised the cup in his hand with a smile: "Thank you, I am very happy to hear such a comment."

"The drink is good, but the cup is a bit off." After taking a sip, Stark tilted his lips and asked Loki speechlessly: "Is it to avoid being broken, so the wine glass is made of wood? ? To be honest, this cup is really not worthy of wine.”

"When drinking, it is a drinking utensil. When the wine in the cup is finished, it becomes fuel." After finishing the wine in the cup, he threw the cup on the ground. Loki raised his hand and followed it first. The wine waiter said hello, and then pointed in the direction of the kitchen: "Using wood soaked in wine as fuel, the grilled meat also has a faint aroma of wine, and it tastes better than grilling it directly. ”

Directly using the wood to soak in wine would waste a lot of wine, so I changed the method. First, make the wood into wine glasses, and then use the opportunity of pouring wine for the guests to soak the wood with wine? Is it really just to make the barbecue taste better that you came up with such a process?

actually not.

Deep within this appearance, there are also more profound reasons, involving the two aspects of 'foreign exchanges' and 'environmental protection'.

Just like providing shelter to the dwarves in exchange for them building various equipment and daily metal tools for the Asgardians, Asgard, as the former 'proprietor', is one of the other worlds it actually controls now. There is a similar relationship between them.

Take these wooden wine glasses, for example. Most of them are produced in Vanaheim and are considered one of the tributes presented to Asgard. In return, when Vanaheim encounters a crisis or civil strife, Asgard must fulfill its obligations stipulated in the agreement and send troops to help Vanaheim solve its troubles and tide over the crisis.

Of course, what is explained here is its nature and has nothing to do with value.

After all, the material used to make the wine glass is just the most inconspicuous wood, which has little value. No matter how large the quantity is, it can only be regarded as a mere addition in the list of tributes that Vanaheim presented to Asgard.

The so-called ‘environmental protection’ is even simpler to understand.

Friends who have watched the original film know that Asgard is a 'slab' floating in space, and its area is not actually that big.

This means that the resources produced locally in Asgard are extremely limited.

However, Asgardians do not like to use the high technologies they have mastered in their daily lives, including making fires for cooking, and they still prefer to use open flames instead of electricity.

So, here comes the problem.

How many trees can be cut down in such a big place?

If you dig underground, how much coal and oil can you dig out, even if you don't care about the damage to the surface?

It is obvious that its own output is only a drop in the bucket relative to consumption needs.

Anyway, if you cut them all, it wouldn't be enough, so just don't cut them off at all... With this in mind, the Asgardians simply gave up on the idea of ​​self-production for their own use, emphasizing the protection of their own environment while passing on their needs. When it comes to the outside world, it relies on 'imports' to meet all aspects of consumption.

Speaking of which, part of the reason why Asgard's local environment is so good and the scenery can remain so beautiful comes from here.
