Malekith, the leader of the dark elves, glared at Odin, but Odin glanced at him dismissively, not taking him seriously at all.

"I have met you, the great ruler of the Aesir!"

Lin Bei performed a Buddhist monk's salute.

Whether in mythology or reality, Odin deserves the respect he is due.

Seeing Lin Bei's behavior, the underlings all bowed, and even Malekith, who was extremely aggrieved, reluctantly lowered his head.

"Nice to meet you, Sorcerer Supreme of Midgard," Odin said with a hint of admiration. "It truly surprises me that Midgard could produce such a powerful figure as yourself."

Lin Bei smiled lightly: "You flatter me. In the eyes of a true master, I am just a nobody who hasn't even entered the field yet."

Odin nodded solemnly without speaking, his one eye sweeping over Thor and Loki, both of whom lowered their heads in shame, unable to meet his gaze.

They led a large army into battle, but were defeated and captured. Odin had to come and ransom them, and the two were too ashamed to face their white-haired father.

Although victory and defeat are common occurrences in war, one must also distinguish between different statuses. Can a prince and a general be treated the same?

Thor, in particular, was the crown prince and the future ruler of Asgard. His capture was a disgrace to the entire kingdom of Asgard.

Lin Bei clapped his hands: "Someone, please bring the two princes over. Please wait a moment, the two princes are currently experiencing the hardships of the common people in the distance."

Bucky led the Hydra elite squad down to change Thor and Loki out of their grime-covered work clothes, and carefully washed and groomed them before bringing them back.

The two men, feeling a deep sense of unease, stood bowed beside Odin. Thor remained silent for a long while before speaking, "Father, you didn't need to come in person."

Odin looked directly at the two of them for a moment, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes.

Failure helps people grow. They may not mature immediately, but at least they can learn from their mistakes and understand the importance of thinking before acting.

"Master Linbei, what do you want?" Odin cut straight to the point, asking in front of Thor and Loki.

"It's nothing much. I want to establish a base on this planet and would like to trouble Asgard to provide some economic and technical assistance."

"Only this?"

Lin Bei shrugged: "Otherwise what?"

Odin looked at Lin Bei with a meaningful gaze: "Master Lin Bei, I thought you would want to establish diplomatic relations with Asgard."

“Let’s forget about diplomatic relations. Hydra is a peace-loving organization and will not establish a national government. We only represent ourselves.” Lin Bei thought for a moment and continued, “But establishing friendly and cooperative relations with Asgard is something we would love to do, as long as the King of the Gods doesn’t look down on our Hydra’s weak strength.”

“No problem, I’ll have Loki…” Odin paused for a moment before continuing, “and Thor will come to discuss the cooperation with you later.”

As he spoke, he glanced at Lin Bei's group of subordinates, and when he saw the Chitauri and the Dark Elves, he frowned slightly: "Excuse me for speaking frankly, but your subordinates are not exactly peace-loving people."

Lin Bei smiled slightly, "It's alright, I'm not exactly a good person anyway."

"Well, what I mean is, from different perspectives, there is no absolute good or bad in this world. In the eyes of the enemy, Hydra is a thoroughly evil organization."

Odin deeply agreed with Lin Bei's words. Asgard was once a country that stirred up war, but Odin turned his enemies into his own people, and Asgard became the savior.

After a few polite words, Lin Bei gave Odin plenty of face, and Odin didn't make things difficult for him at all, as if the capture of the two princes had never happened.

“If Master Lin Bei ever wishes to go to Asgard, he only needs to raise this badge to the sky, and a rainbow bridge will naturally come to meet him.” Odin said, handing Lin Bei a palm-sized badge engraved with runes.

"It is my honor to receive an invitation from the King of Gods."

Odin gave Lin Bei a deep look before disappearing into the seven-colored pillar of light.

Natasha watched Odin and his group disappear into the rainbow-colored pillar of light. "Boss, does this mean we've reached an agreement with Asgard?"

"Otherwise what?" Lin Bei shrugged, then frowned. "I think I've forgotten something."

"?"

Natasha slowly uttered a question mark.

"Ah~ I think I forgot to tell Odin."

"This base might be quite large." Lin Bei blinked and said, "But it shouldn't matter. Asgard is wealthy and powerful; visiting a planetary base is nothing to them."

Natasha: ......

Do you want to hear what you're saying?

A planetary-sized base?

That's no longer a base, is it?

It's at least a fortress, right?

"That···"

Knowing Natasha's concerns, Lin Bei waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Odin won't break his promise. His time is running out."

Chapter 230

Lin Bei realized he was overthinking it; Odin had agreed without even asking, so he must not care about a little money.

And indeed, Odin didn't care about such a small amount of money.

Others are rich because they own mines and oil.

Odin has nine kingdoms, and he has included the star system of each kingdom within his territory. His resources are far beyond what Lin Bei can imagine.

Even if we don't count the Midgard and the Dark Elves' homeland.

Putting aside everything else, any one of the items in the Celestial Palace's treasury is priceless.

Moreover, Odin was determined to teach Thor and Loki a lesson.

It's mainly aimed at Thor.

Thor's domestic affairs skills are zero; compared to Loki, he's a whole galaxy behind.

Even though he knew nothing, the astronomical sums he handled every day still caused him immense heartache, leading him to drown his sorrows in alcohol and leave everything to Loki.

This makes Odin's foreplay somewhat unnecessary.

In order to help Thor realize his mistakes and grow.

Odin ate salads for days on end in Asgard and even replaced his golden eye patch with a leather one. Even Queen Frigga bought two pieces of jewelry and a new outfit.

Thor is like a super-rich second-generation heir. Although he knows he is a prince of Asgard, he has no clear understanding of how much money his family actually has.

Because Odin had sold off most of his wealth and possessions, and the whole affair was caused by him, he felt ashamed of failing his parents and the people who had placed their hopes on him, and he wore a miserable expression all day long, as if his father had just died.

Having a sense of shame is a good thing. He will definitely grow a lot from this experience. It's just unknown whether he will have a change of heart or be heartless and only have a five-minute burst of enthusiasm.

But judging from his appearance of drowning his sorrows in alcohol, it's probably impossible for him to suddenly come to his senses.

Without the sacrifice of parents, the murder of his younger brother in front of him, and the blinding of one of his eyes, the chances of him achieving enlightenment and becoming a wise ruler are extremely slim.

They were able to receive selfless assistance from Asgard.

The construction of Hydra Watt Alheim Base was incredibly fast.

Even though Lin Bei revised the blueprints three times in succession, doubling the size of the base each time, Odin didn't question it at all.

Loki was furious, but the Asgardian engineer in charge of the construction only glanced at it twice before doing exactly as instructed.

Loki was even considering drowning his sorrows in alcohol with Thor, since this was all his future wealth!

Lin Bei had long seen through Odin's act of disciplining his own children, deliberately putting on a show for Thor and Loki.

For parents who hope their sons will become dragons and their daughters will become phoenixes, this is the easiest money to earn.

Lin Bei couldn't help but feel a pang of admiration for Odin and Queen Frigga's painstaking efforts.

He then immediately picked up the blueprints and began making extensive modifications.

Originally, I was planning to gradually expand the base to the entire planet, but now it seems that if I don't do it all at once, I'll be letting down the opportunity Odin gave me.

An energy station? Why build it on the ground? Besides, it's so outdated and not sci-fi at all.

Give me a core engine directly. Dyson spheres are impossible, but a core engine should be no problem, right?

Their little spiders have already built artificial stars, and we have our own little spiders too, they've even reached interstellar space. This little thing of yours probably isn't anything special, right?

A defense system, building turrets on the ground?

That's so outdated! Give me thirty orbital cannons! And a set of astral shields too.

What? The energy supply might be insufficient?

I don't care about that. You care about whether I can get the energy supply. I'm just asking you if it's even possible to build it.

Another one for the forging room. What? You're asking me what this is for?

Why don't I set up a weapons assembly line?

Let's not go for the highest price; after all, Odin's money didn't come from thin air.

So what if we're behind? Hydra won't mind. The dwarf's forging skills will do; he's the one who forged the Infinity Gauntlet.

Unlike other bases that are grand and imposing, Linbei is relatively low-key.

Except for some necessary facilities, no ground-level buildings are allowed.

Hydra isn't some organization that's second to none or that I'm the third most powerful.

Just build a small guardhouse of about ten square meters, and find an old man reading a newspaper to guard the elevator; everything should be done discreetly.

Upon hearing the final plans for the base, Thor got completely drunk, seemingly intent on drinking Hydra out of house and home.

However, after drinking heavily for three days and three nights, Thor never came to Watt Alheim again. It is said that he drank a special concoction made with industrial alcohol, which caused him to suffer a heart attack and almost went blind.

Asgard transformed an entire planet into a base capable of being armed to planetary status in just over six months.

Lin Bei was quite surprised by Asgard's industrial strength.

The technology, manpower, and money involved are enormous.

No wonder Asgard has its own place in the universe.

No wonder Thor and Loki always act so arrogant wherever they go.

If Lin Bei had a father like that, he'd be even more arrogant than them.

It's a pity~ He's now a successful entrepreneur. If the world where he obtained the prince template had been replaced by the current Marvel, Lin Bei wouldn't mind becoming Odin's godfather. After all, he's a half-brother, and Toldo is fine too.

A planet-level semi-armed base has been built.

However, many of the various instruments in the laboratory were nowhere to be seen.
