Chapter 02 If you can do it, then you do it.
However, just a few months ago, Qin Wuying was just an office worker who had just graduated from university.
On the day of the accident, he did what he always did: after getting home from get off work, he turned on his computer to watch the latest Marvel movies.
"Hmm... let me see what's available."
After taking a small sip of hot water, the webpage finished loading, displaying a dazzling array of project names.
"Uh, 'Iron Heart'?"
Although the image of a dark-skinned girl in armor on the cover left Qin Wuying somewhat bewildered, he still gritted his teeth and clicked on it.
After all, how could such a popular and invincible IP like Iron Man be ruined?
No way? Could something really go wrong?
"Hey, do you think Tony Stark would still be Iron Man if he didn't have money?"
What...?
Upon hearing this "legendary quote," Qin Wuying raised his eyebrows in disbelief and stared intently at the screen.
What followed was even more shocking: the so-called "Iron Man successor" was actually hanging out with some scumbags who ran robberies and black markets!
"Intolerable! Unacceptable! Take it down immediately, you bastards!"
After leaving such an angry comment, Qin Wuying angrily closed the playback page.
"Let's find another one... 'Kraven the Hunter'?"
The label says it should be a "fun battle" game, right?
After finally finishing a boring and tiring day at work, it's time to unwind and binge-watch some action-packed movies!
"I give up, what are they even talking about...?"
Faced with low-quality special effects and a bland, boring plot, Qin Wuying almost fell asleep.
"A terrible movie, without a doubt, boring."
After adding his own opinion to a negative review, he began looking for new targets.
Anyway, today is Saturday, and I don't have to go to work tomorrow, so I have plenty of time.
However, after watching two episodes of "Secret Invasion," Qin Wuying's mind was filled with images of the Skrulls' green faces and Nick Fury's annoying appearance.
He's not a serious Marvel fan. Due to his busy work schedule, he rarely has the time to systematically learn about the quality of new releases; he just randomly clicks on things to watch.
Now he realizes that his luck seems to be really bad.
So, filled with resentment, he vented his frustrations under every show with a rating below 6:
"She-Hulk has a weak plot, chaotic logic, and deviates from the essence of superhero movies."
"What is 'Madame Spider'? It's utterly incomprehensible!"
"Eternals, wow, the most politically correct work ever made!"
In everyday social situations, Qin Wuying is polite, mature, and composed, but online she likes to let loose and speak her mind.
Finally, this negative feeling was greatly alleviated in the second season of "Loki".
"Huh? What is this?"
When he reached the end of the series, he suddenly discovered that the list, which originally had only six buttons, now included "Episode 7".
His intuition told him that this was likely an Easter egg left by the film's producers, which only lucky viewers could see.
He had a terrible night with film selection, but luck has finally turned around for him.
Without hesitation, Qin Wuying moved the mouse and decisively clicked "play," and the progress bar appeared immediately.
"Only three minutes? This was definitely a surprise!"
The screen remained black, but the four edges around it began to flicker with an eerie dark green light.
The clock on the wall pointed to two in the morning, and the lights in the room were off. Qin Wuying suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.
Then the screen lit up again in an instant.
Loki, wearing an emerald crown, sat firmly on the throne belonging to the Lord of Time, though his eyes held a somewhat eerie look.
Do you hate those boring stories?
"..."
"Do you hate those boring stories? I'm asking you that."
"Who? Me?" Qin Wuying pointed to himself in confusion. This interactive element in the Easter egg was quite realistic.
"That's right, it's you, Qin Wuying."
"Ahhhhh?"
Hearing Loki pronounce his Chinese name word by word, he completely lost his composure.
He swiped the mouse quickly, but the screen didn't respond.
The progress bar is not displayed, and even the cursor has disappeared.
"Calm down, calm down. This could also be due to artificial intelligence being embedded in the webpage."
"I am not artificial intelligence, I am a real god."
Loki answered every question, which only made Qin Wuying, who was talking to himself, even more panicked.
"To answer my question, do you hate those boring stories?"
"Uh, I think it's more like dislike."
"Very good. Now I'll give you a chance to become a superhero."
"Superheroes? You don't mean I have to travel to your world, do you? No way."
Qin Wuying had seen too many of these formulaic online novel tropes, with things like divine guidance, system empowerment, and soul transmigrating to another world.
There are so many people in the world who are more capable than me, so why was I the one chosen?
That's ridiculous!
So either this is a dream, or there must be some kind of trap.
Loki's lips twitched slightly upon hearing Qin Wuying's reply.
"You have to go, whether you like it or not. Only you can do this job."
With a wave of his hand, the god of stories displayed numerous crisscrossing dark green timelines on the screen.
Most of them are operating in an orderly manner.
Except for one oddity shrouded in red and yellow mist.
"This timeline shouldn't exist; it's out of my control."
"so what?"
"So you have to fix it for me."
"Why me? Anyone you randomly pick from the multiverse is more powerful than me, right?"
"Because you just posted a lot of negative reviews, and I don't like those works either, I feel like you're a kindred spirit to me."
Qin Wuying rubbed his slightly aching temples.
Becoming a confidant of the god of stories is far too easy, isn't it? Wouldn't the comment section be full of his confidants?
"Besides, isn't there a very apt proverb here?"
"Proverbs...what proverbs?"
"If you're so good, then you do it."
Loki gave a meaningful smile.
"Even if I agree, there's nothing I can do."
"Who said that? I'm the God of Stories, giving you some superpowers is a piece of cake."
Immediately afterwards, a thick ancient book appeared out of thin air and hovered in front of Qin Wuying.
"Once you fully master the contents of this book, you'll be at least on par with Thanos and God Lord Doom."
"Really? What if you're lying to me... Where is he?"
Sometime later, the screen returned to its original state, and the number of episodes was reduced from seven to six.
"This is utterly baffling."
While complaining, Qin Wuying opened the newbie gift pack given by Loki, wanting to see what secrets were inside.
"Holy crap! Not a single word!"
