Marvel Gashapon Maniac

But at least I got one, which brings me one step closer to my goal.

“Okay, these fried shrimp are on me.” Fu You said happily, looking just like someone who had just won a lottery despite being incredibly unlucky.

"Great!" Kiana's eyes lit up, and she reached out to grab it, drooling.

But just as she was about to make her move, she paused.

"Hmm? What's wrong?" Fu You, who was still looking at the Soul Steel, noticed Kiana's unusual behavior and asked in confusion.

"It's nothing, can I borrow this plate?" Kiana picked up the plate and walked out of the house.

"I'm going to let Aunt Himeko and Mei try it. I'm off!"

Kiana waved goodbye and ran straight to her dormitory.

Fu You shook his head as he watched Kiana's departing figure.

"This guy seems to have become much more obedient."

Fu You didn't dwell on the issue and directly dialed Tony's number.

"Hey Tony, how's it going on your end? Have you learned any advanced Titan armor techniques yet?"

Tony's proud voice came from the other end of the phone: "Of course, a regular Titan can be upgraded easily. I helped them increase its performance by 30%."

"I thought you were so proud because you'd improved by 1000%," Fu You retorted.

"I've obtained the Divine Key technology. When will you like to learn it?"

"Learning a completely new skill is not something that can be accomplished overnight. It's not like playing a game where you can just pick up a skill book, so you don't need to rush."

“You don’t need to worry about that. I have a brilliant plan that requires you to return to New York.”

"Back to New York?"

"Yes, go find the Ancient One. She has a way to learn quickly."

……

New York Sanctuary:

The Ancient One wasn't surprised that Tony had returned to study, and immediately taught him how to learn at high speed.

High-speed learning is a method that uses the Time Gem, which Fu You learned from him.

Fu You was once curious about how Doctor Strange learned magic to a certain level in such a short time after inheriting the position of Sorcerer Supreme.

The Ancient One then revealed this function of the Time Stone to her.

This ability is perfect for last-minute cramming before an exam, but thinking about it carefully, if you had the Time Stone, would you still need to cram?

Why not just use your consciousness to go to the future timeline and see the answer?

After settling Tony in, the Ancient One opened a portal in the courtyard.

The portal leads directly to the Great Hall of Asgard.

The Ancient One entered the portal and slowly walked to Odin, the King of Asgard and the Father.

“Father, how have you been lately?” the Ancient One asked.

Odin sighed: "You know my time is coming to an end. Although there are ways to prolong my life, it is not a long-term solution."

"I'm going into my next period of slumber, so I'll leave it to you for now."

Gu nodded.

Both sides remained silent for a moment.

"The Ancient One".

“God Father, please speak.”

"Could you help me grind my account while you're at it?"

Gu Yi smiled faintly: "No time."

"You, the holder of the Time Stone, are telling me you don't have time?"

"The Time Stone isn't for grinding games," the Ancient One said righteously.

"Who was practicing dodging bullets using the Time Stone?"

Two long-time veteran players are undermining each other.

"Well... Anyway, I'll leave the central courtyard to you for now. You're the only one I can trust right now."

Ancient One shook her head: "Thor and the others have grown beyond our imagination. Ultimately, the future is still in their hands."

"Thor? He's too young to be a god."

The Ancient One suddenly laughed and said, "His arena ranking is higher than yours."

"..."

"Wait a minute, let me rank up first."

Gu Yi reached out to stop him.

"Father, it's time to sleep."

Odin was unsure whether he should say "mmp" (a vulgar expression).

1. My collection is steadily increasing; it feels like I'm alive again?

2. Got paid my salary today and went to Haidilao. It cost over 500 yuan, which hurt my wallet. But the food was really good and the service was excellent, so it was worth it.

3. (See attached image) Confirmed to be a housewife who cooks rice.

Go to sleep first.

I started work at 1 p.m. today and worked overtime until after 9 p.m., so I probably won't be able to update on time.

There's no way around it; that's just how it is for office workers—overtime hours are unpredictable.

Go to sleep, don't stay up too late, especially if you're preparing for the college entrance exam.

But I doubt readers focused on the college entrance exam would have time to read my book anyway. In any case, good luck on the college entrance exam!

Chapter 15 The Differences of the Divine Key

"What? Father is asleep again?" Thor exclaimed upon hearing the Ancient One's narration.

"I haven't finished my game this month yet, and my father is asleep again, so who's going to help me play?"

Gu Yi smiled and said, "It's alright, someone will help you fight. Pack up with Loki, it's time to go."

"Huh? Where to?" Thor asked, puzzled.

“Tony will stay here with me to learn for the time being, and Steve will be in charge of the Avengers’ overall operations, so naturally you and Loki will go to the other world to provide support.”

"What about the angels?" Thor feigned a troubled expression. "Actually, I'm quite busy here too. How about letting Loki go? They're the same gender, so they'll have more to talk about, won't they?"

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to run away.

The Ancient One shook her head and used her magic to transform it into a whip, which pulled Thor back directly.

"Don't think I don't know you're planning to climb the ranks while the Father is asleep. Go and help out in the other world."

The Ancient One opened a portal to the Duncan's laboratory and threw the packaged Thor inside.

Thor rolled several times before being stopped by a foot.

Shaking his dizzy head, Thor struggled to look up.

Black, oh no, it's Loki.

"You're really slow. Let's go." As if she had expected this, Loki pulled on the magical rope that was helping Thor and walked towards the quantum portal.

"No! I'm not going! I want to rank up!" Thor yelled as he was dragged away.

After closing the portal, the Ancient One shook her head and sighed, "Alas, Father, this is all I can do for you."

St. Freya Academy

Fu You was currently tinkering with his new game in his dorm room, and he found Vishir and Gwen to test it out.

However, there are also some problems.

"Visil, can you please stop trying to use Rebellion to unleash Dimensional Slash?" Fu You couldn't help but complain.

The game chosen by Fuyou this time is the classic action game series, Devil May Cry.

Fu You considered that the Valkyries in the Honkai world mostly fight against non-humanoid Honkai Beasts, so training like Batman and Assassin's Creed wouldn't be very useful.

She then turned her attention to monster-fighting games and chose Devil May Cry, a very suitable series.

On one side, they fight Honkai Beasts; on the other, they fight Demons.

On one side is Valkyrie armor, on the other is demonic blood.

Not only does Fuyou adopt the original's conventional storyline centered around Spartan characters, it also adds a mode that allows the Valkyrie herself to be used as a data model in the game.

However, some issues arose during the testing of the story mode.

"I've said it so many times, Dimensional Slash is meant to be used in conjunction with the Yamato Blade, don't keep trying to use the Rebellion Greatsword to test Dimensional Slash." Fu You couldn't help but cover his face.

“I think with more practice, it should work,” Vishir replied calmly.

The test game used was Devil May Cry 3. In this story mode, Vergil appears as the boss, and the player character is Dante.

However, a guy who always uses Virgil's Sealing Stones sneaked in and started controlling Dante, which distorted the control style in a strange way.

There's another person who tests body temperature...

"Gwen, use a sword! Are you planning to use the Gun God for the rest of your life?"

"Hahahaha, I've broken through!" Gwen didn't listen and continued to use rapid fire to attack the demon.

It seems like she's accumulated a lot of pressure from participating in Valkyrie training and fighting Honkai Beasts these past few days.

Just as Fu You was having a headache, Thor and Loki walked in through the door.

"Hey, angel, we've come to help you," Thor greeted as he entered.

"You are here."

Thor immediately noticed the several gaming pods in the room and the games he had never seen before playing on the screens.

"Huh? A new game?" Thor suddenly became excited.

Fu You thought for a moment, and decided that the old house god would be more suitable for the test, so he replied:

"Yes, it's in the testing phase. Would you like to give it a try?"

"Give it a try."

Thor dashed into a gaming pod like a husky letting loose, completely unfazed by the frustration of being forcibly dragged there earlier.

Fu You found a stool and sat down, intending to rest for a while.

"What are you researching?" Loki noticed the large pile of documents on the table and asked Fu You.

"Oh, it's the Divine Key, a weapon unique to this world."

"It's probably something like Odin's Gungnir or Thor's hammer."

"A divine artifact!" Loki understood.

"However, I've encountered some academic problems and wanted to ask if you have any pigs."

Fu You figured that every king in Asgard would forge a divine artifact, and since Loki was a princess and the future queen, she probably knew something about it, so he decided to talk to her about the Divine Keys.
