Du Mu paid no attention to Fury's words.
It was like in a game where an NPC warns that the World will be destroyed if players don't act quickly, but the players still leisurely mine, collect treasure chests everywhere, and don't take it seriously.
Seeing Du Mu like this, Fury rubbed his temples helplessly.
"All in all, keep a low profile during this time. Coulson is on a mission in New Mexico and needs support. I originally planned to send Hawkeye, who is on vacation, but now you go instead."
NPC Fury has issued you a new quest.
Quest: Support Coulson.
Objective: Go to New Mexico, find Coulson to rendezvous, and assist him in his mission.
Reward: EXP +1000, S.H.I.E.L.D. Reputation +20, Item *2.
"Yes, Officer."
After receiving the mission, Du Mu drove to the desert area of New Mexico that same day.
He quickly found the small Base temporarily set up by S.H.I.E.L.D. and met Coulson, the highest-ranking Officer there.
"Village Chief, long time no see. Why is your hairline even higher?"
Coulson: "..."
As Fury's capable subordinate and S.H.I.E.L.D.'s recognized workaholic, he had almost no time off. Every day he was either on a mission or on his way to a mission, and he rarely even saw his cellist girlfriend.
Long periods of travel, coupled with the unavoidable pressures of a middle-aged man, had made his hair increasingly sparse.
Coulson just didn't understand.
Du Mu was more diligent in completing quests than he was, so why didn't this guy lose hair?
Coulson pretended not to hear Du Mu's later words and cut straight to the point: "Not long ago, we detected an Einstein-Rosen bridge, also known as a wormhole, appearing above this area, and an alien object fell out of it."
Du Mu asked curiously, "What kind of alien object was it?"
"It's a hammer!"
Du Mu: "..."
Why did the conversation suddenly turn into swearing?
Seeing Du Mu's expression, Coulson explained, "I mean, the alien object is a hammer. Never mind, just come with me."
With that, Coulson led Du Mu to the innermost part of the small Base.
As Coulson said, Du Mu saw a hammer, a square silver hammer that didn't look special.
Coulson said with a serious expression, "According to our tests, no one has been able to lift it so far. Even with heavy cranes, this hammer cannot be moved even half a millimeter."
"But what's strange is that this doesn't seem to be due to the hammer's own weight. We even tried to dig out the soil beneath it, but even with just a little left, it could still support the hammer."
"That amazing?"
Du Mu immediately became interested, walked up to the hammer, and grabbed its short handle.
Just as he was trying to exert force, the system's voice suddenly sounded.
You do not meet the usage requirements for this equipment.
Usage Requirement: Righteousness ≥ 1000.
"Righteousness?"
Du Mu was a little surprised.
It was the first time he had seen equipment with usage requirements, and it even required the recently unlocked Righteousness.
Du Mu brought up his personal attribute panel to check and found that his Righteousness had already increased to 136.
According to system records, these points were accumulated when he inadvertently saved many lives while performing missions during this period, and also by defeating super villains like Abomination, which also granted a large amount of Righteousness.
"It seems I still have a lot of potential to be a superhero."
Du Mu thought proudly.
As for the nearly two hundred points of Sin he had, he selectively ignored them.
"What's wrong? Did you find anything?"
Coulson saw Du Mu holding the hammer handle in silence for a long time and couldn't help but ask curiously.
He knew Du Mu was not simple, and perhaps he could discover something.
Du Mu decisively released the hammer's short handle and nodded, "There are conditions for lifting this hammer. It's probably for people who are righteous, brave, upright, and responsible. So it's normal that you can't lift it."
Coulson: "..."
Why do I feel like you're indirectly insulting me?
Next, Coulson assigned Du Mu a job, which was to guard the hammer until all their related testing work was completed.
This job was quite easy.
Du Mu somehow got a folding lounge chair and placed it not far from the hammer.
He leisurely lay down, drinking an unknown beverage and reading a comic book. His relaxed demeanor made him look like he was on vacation.
This made the surrounding S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents on patrol grit their teeth.
They were already annoyed at work!
Seeing this scene, their fists clenched!
Night.
Heavy rain suddenly fell from the sky.
While Du Mu was engrossed in his comic book, he heard Coulson's voice from the communicator.
"Du Mu, someone has broken into the Base, and it seems they're heading in your direction."
"I understand."
Du Mu reluctantly got up from the lounge chair.
He wanted to see which daring fool would dare to break into S.H.I.E.L.D.'s territory.
As a series of intense fighting and running sounds came, Du Mu quickly saw the fool.
"Ao Bai?"
Du Mu couldn't help but widen his eyes.
The person who came was a muscular, long-haired blonde man. His wet long hair clung to his face, and his appearance was very similar to an actor in his memory.
Hearing Du Mu's words, the muscular man loudly retorted, "I am Thor, the great God of Thunder, son of Odin!"
Du Mu chuckled, "You're the God of Thunder, then I'm Qin Shi Huang."
"How dare you! A mere mortal, to blaspheme a god!"
Thor was furious.
He roared and immediately rushed over, throwing a punch at Du Mu.
It must be said that his speed was indeed astonishing, and his strength far exceeded that of ordinary people, no wonder he was able to break through the outer Agent's defenses and get here.
However, in Du Mu's eyes, this level of attack was nothing special.
He didn't even bother to use skills; he just casually raised a hand and firmly grasped Thor's fist.
"How is that possible?"
Thor's face was filled with shock.
Even without his divine power, his body was by no means something a mortal could contend with.
But the person in front of him was able to block his punch so easily!
Thor gritted his teeth and exerted all his strength, but he still couldn't break free from Du Mu's large hand.
Du Mu looked at Thor's flushed face and asked with interest, "You said you are the God of Thunder, so you must be very resistant to electricity, right?"
"What do you mean by that—"
Before Thor could finish speaking, he felt a violent current instantly sweep through his body, and his body involuntarily began to twitch violently.
A few seconds later, his eyes rolled back, and he fell straight to the ground, with wisps of white smoke rising from his body.
Du Mu turned off the Professor Yang's Ring on his finger.
He looked at the unconscious Thor with a look of disdain, "And this is the God of Thunder."
