The only player in the Marvel universe

Chapter 58 The Wealthy and Powerful Asgard

Unfortunately, Du Mu ultimately failed to find the location of Asgard's treasure vault.

He has already explored a small part of Asgard and now all that's left is to go to the designated location to activate the map so he can place the map teleportation anchor.

Back at S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, Du Mu did just that, activating the teleportation anchor point in Nick Fury's office.

Of course, not all places can be used to place anchor points. Only locations recognized as landmarks by the game system can be used. Previously, the only locations that met the criteria were S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters, Midtown High School, and Stark Tower.

However, Du Mu has not yet had time to activate the latter two locations, and for the time being, only the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters teleportation point is available.

After wandering around for a while, Du Mu still hadn't seen Thor, but instead encountered several Asgardian guards who said that accommodations had been arranged for him.

Du Mu followed the guards there, only to discover that the so-called residence was actually a palace!
Moreover, this palace was a gift from Asgard to Du Mu, and he has the right to use it permanently.

This undoubtedly reinforced Du Mu's preconceived notion that Asgard was wealthy and powerful.

The next day, Thor descended from the sky wielding Mjolnir and approached Du Mu.

"Is it all done?" Du Mu asked.

Thor nodded: "Father has awakened. He knows what Loki has done and has ordered him imprisoned in the Asgardian dungeons for a hundred years as punishment."

“The punishment is getting more and more serious.”

For the ancient Asgardians, a century-long punishment was neither short nor too long.

After all, he was his own son. Even if he was picked up from the junkyard of Jotunheim, Odin was not without feelings. This punishment was not unexpected.

Thor sighed: "Loki wasn't like this before. How did he become like this?"

Seeing his dearest younger brother fall into such a state, he felt heartbroken and ate a whole roasted lamb that night with tears in his eyes.

Du Mu casually suggested, "It's probably the rebellious phase. The child is disobedient. A little shock will do the trick."

"Does an electric shock work?" Thor asked, somewhat surprised.

"Of course, look how clear your eyes are now after I gave you a shock back then."

"."

Saul was momentarily speechless, then hesitated for a moment before asking, "What if an electric shock doesn't work?"

"Then keep shocking him until he admits his mistake."

"That's it, I understand."

Thor looked thoughtful.

Du Mu raised an eyebrow: "Speaking of which, you didn't come to see me just to talk about Loki, did you?"

"Yes!"

Thor then remembered his business and said enthusiastically, "A grand feast will be held in the Golden Palace in Asgard tonight. My friend, you should come and join us!"

"Okay."

Du Mu agreed without much thought.

The activation point for Asgard happens to be in the Golden Palace, so I can go there to activate the map while I'm at it.

Thor suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, did you see the Box of Ice and Gungnir yesterday?"

Du Mu shook his head blankly: "I don't know, I guess Loki took it."

Just as Saul was about to speak, his gaze was drawn to two familiar items in the corner of the room.

"The Box of Ice! And Gungnir!"

Thor exclaimed in surprise, then looked at Du Mu with a strange expression.

Du Mu was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly slapped his thigh and roared angrily, "You, Loki! As expected of the God of Mischief, you're really good at framing people!"

Thor: "."

No, no, I think you're better at framing people.

In the end, Thor got the Casket of Ice and Gungnir the Spear of Eternity back.

Unfortunately, like Mjolnir, these two divine items have special protection mechanisms, so Du Mu cannot put them into the game's inventory.

Moreover, their usage conditions are even more demanding than Thor's hammer. Either one needs to have pure Frost Giant blood, or one must be the heir to the throne of Asgard, which he simply cannot use.

Only defeated bosses like the Destroyer could be considered Du Mu's loot and added to his game inventory. That night, Du Mu arrived at the Golden Palace, located in the very center of Asgard.

The Golden Palace, the abode of the gods, is far more magnificent than any other building in Asgard, perfectly embodying the architectural aesthetic of Asgard that regards money as dirt.

Everywhere you looked was a dazzling gold, even the armor of the guards shone with golden light.

Just as Du Mu was about to randomly pick a lucky person to ambush, he saw the three brave extras walking towards him.

Du Mu was speechless.

These three brothers are like Magneton, always sticking together.

The three extras also noticed Du Mu and immediately surrounded him to greet him warmly, inviting him to go to the banquet hall together.

It must be said, this Golden Palace is truly enormous.

Led by the three brave extras, they walked for several tens of minutes, winding their way through the maze of streets, before finally arriving at the Golden Palace.

Without the map and these three local guides, Du Mu would definitely have gotten lost in this golden maze.

"Isn't Thor's house so big that he'll get lost?" Du Mu couldn't help but complain.

Fandall thought for a moment: "Sol did get lost several times when he was a child."

"it's here?"

"No, it was in his own bedroom."

"."

After walking for another ten minutes or so, the group finally arrived at the banquet hall of the Golden Palace.

The golden gate, several tens of meters long, slowly opened, revealing the luxurious palace inside.

The hall was bustling with noise as many Asgardians enjoyed various delicacies and boasted to their friends. Apart from their different clothing styles, it looked much like a gathering on Earth.

Asgardians are known for their love of alcohol; every man and woman carries a bottle of liquor.

The three extras immediately grabbed their wine glasses and chugged them down.

"Good wine!"

With a series of cracking sounds, the three of them smashed the empty cups in their hands on the ground.

This is a traditional custom of the Asgardians: they smash the cup when they're really enjoying their drink.

"Selling cups in Asgard is a sure way to make a profit," Du Mu thought to himself.

"Du Mu, come and drink with us."

Vostagg patted his large belly and extended an invitation to Du Mu, almost shouting that happy times were about to begin.

"No, I don't like drinking."

"How can a true warrior not know how to drink? Du Mu, you're too weak!"

Du Mu narrowed his eyes: "I happen to have a bottle of wine here. If you finish it, I'll drink with you, how about that?"

Upon hearing this, the three extras burst into laughter.

"I could easily drink a hundred bottles of wine, let alone one."

"That's right, I usually drink alcohol like water."

"No need for three, I can finish it all by myself!"

The three extras patted their chests, making grand pronouncements, declaring that whoever got drunk was a dog.

Not long after, several muffled thuds were heard.

The three warriors who were just moments ago full of bravado have now transformed into the three hounds of Asgard, collapsing onto the table and fast asleep.

"That's it?"

Du Mu smiled dismissively and put away the infinity wine bottle in his hand.

Once the wine in the bottle is emptied, new wine will be automatically produced inside, and the type of wine will be random.

Fortunately, the three Asgardian dogs had amazing physical constitutions. If it were an ordinary Earthling, drinking more than a dozen different kinds of strong liquor in a short period of time would definitely lead to alcohol poisoning and hospitalization.
