Qin Xiao instructed Coulson to have his people keep an eye on things while he retrieved the research materials of Erik Selvig, Jane Foster, and others.
This was his small way of compensating for the changes his arrival had caused. By bringing Erik Selvig to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s attention and having him research the Cosmic Cube, he could ensure the events of *The Avengers* unfolded smoothly.
For Qin Xiao, the System was the key to his power growth in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
But his greatest cheat code was his knowledge of the plot.
When he transmigrated, the MCU's Phase Three had just concluded, and Phase Four hadn't yet begun. He only knew from trailers for upcoming films and series that Phase Four might fully open the door to parallel multiverses.
This suggested that the combat power of heroes and villains would reach new heights.
Therefore, Qin Xiao could alter certain things, but he wouldn't touch the main storyline—in fact, he might even subtly preserve it if necessary.
He didn't want to accidentally awaken any hidden ancient monsters he didn't know about, like the Eternals, whose film had been rumored to be in production before his transmigration.
The Time Variance Authority and other such organizations in Loki's timeline...
Of course, Qin Xiao's massive presence in this world, especially at a time when Tony and Black Widow were still in their early stages as superhero core members, couldn't help but bring about changes.
All he could do was try his best to maintain the timeline, keeping the changes within a range he could still foresee in his future, and use the System to grow as quickly as possible.
Still, some minor alterations were acceptable, like interfering with Thor's path to transformation.
When Qin Xiao arrived, Jane Foster was dining with Thor at a restaurant.
No idea how Jane Foster managed to comfort him, but he'd been a dead fish when they left, and now he looked lively and energetic.
During their meal, Thor kept exchanging flirtatious glances with Jane Foster, making Qin Xiao's blood boil.
*I've been in this world for ages, and only now am I slowly getting close to Black Widow. You little bastard just arrived on Earth a few days ago, and you've got a beauty like her practically throwing herself at you!*
*And she's even taking care of your food and lodging! Is it just plain luck? How infuriating!*
*Now that's what you call protagonist treatment. Look at how well he's doing—even with a System, he's not as well-off as this guy.*
*But then I remembered Thor's tragic fate later on: his entire family wiped out, Asgard destroyed, and even Jane, his girlfriend, kicked him to the curb.*
*He'd end up a pathetic, overweight shut-in!*
*The more joy you experience early on, the more suffering you'll endure later.*
*Thinking about this, Qin Xiao's mood improved considerably. He adjusted his expression, smiled, and walked over to the pair.*
*He pulled up a chair beside them uninvited. The moment Thor saw Qin Xiao, he leaped to his feet.*
*He shielded Jane Foster tightly behind him and pointed a finger at Qin Xiao's nose, shouting,*
*"I know you! You insulted me and my hammer, and you knocked me out yesterday! I'm no match for you now, but don't you dare hurt my friend!"*
*Look at this!*
*Who said Thor was dumb? This guy's as cunning as a monkey!*
*It's true Qin Xiao knocked him out yesterday, but he didn't lock him up, didn't beat him senseless, and even let him go today.*
It was clear Qin Xiao had no hostility towards him, so why put on such a show for Jane Foster?
As expected, the moment Thor spoke, Jane Foster's eyes practically sparkled with hearts.
In her eyes, these "Strategic Security Bureau" types were the most despicable government agents. They had released Thor one moment, only to follow him and confiscate all their equipment and research data—absolute bandits!
And the fact that Thor, who had been captured yesterday, could still stand up today, fearless before these bandit-like villains, was the epitome of boyfriend material.
With the air of a heroic woman, Jane Foster strode forward and shielded the big, silly Thor behind her.
Her face tense, she glared at Qin Xiao and declared, "You bandits! Your people have already taken everything we have! You won't take my friend from me!"
*Great. I just sat down and I'm already being treated like a villain. Before I could even speak, I'm being force-fed a mouthful of dog food.*
*Damn it! This is so annoying!*
Feeling a little awkward, Qin Xiao rubbed his nose and spoke with a hint of frustration.
"Don't get worked up. I'm not here to take anyone away, nor am I here to steal your things. Look, it's just me. No one else is outside."
Jane glanced outside a few times and confirmed Qin Xiao was indeed alone. Her gaze softened slightly, but she remained wary as she said,
"Then why are you here? We have nothing to say to you. Don't disturb our meal. If you don't leave now, I'll call the police!"
"Could you at least sit down and talk? I just need to say a few words to him. Sit down—everyone's watching us."
"I'll give you five minutes. Say what you need to say and get out!"
Jane glanced outside several more times before carefully pulling Thor down to sit.
"First, let me clarify: I have no ill will toward you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let him leave today!"
"Second, I'm not from that so-called Security Bureau. I'm just a consultant, understand? So you don't need to be so tense!"
Qin Xiao tried to ease the tension between them.
"But you insulted my hammer yesterday and knocked me out!" Thor complained, like a petulant child, still fixated on the insult to his hammer.
"I knocked you out because you were too agitated yesterday, Thor. I insulted your hammer because you're too attached to it. You're the God of Thunder, not the God of Hammers. Are you nothing without it?" Qin Xiao said, adopting a familiar tone.
"Mjolnir is my battle companion, the source of my strength! You wouldn't understand, you ordinary mortal!" Thor retorted, his Asgardian arrogance resurfacing.
"So that's why your father sent you to Earth. You're useless without your hammer and still don't respect humans," Qin Xiao said, idly snapping his fingers.
"Wait... you believe he's really the God of Thunder from Asgard?" Jane interrupted, though she had outwardly accepted Thor's story, she remained skeptical. Qin Xiao's words, however, surprised her.
Thor reacted even more strongly.
"Do you know why my father banished me to Earth?" Qin Xiao asked, pleased to see his hook had caught.
"Of course I do. I not only know why you're here, but I also know how to help you reclaim your hammer and regain the power of the God of Thunder!"
