Chapter 694

~4 min read 778 words

Jane Foster looked at her and said: "Colleagues, I suppose. She needs credits, and I need an assistant."

There you go!

Su Quan finally understood. Jane Foster didn't have low emotional intelligence—well, it certainly wasn't high, that's for sure—she just interacted with people according to her own logic.

You need credits, I need an assistant; this is an exchange of mutual needs.

As long as the content of the exchange was completed, she never thought about things like taking care of the other person's feelings during the process of getting what she needed, nor did she feel she had done anything wrong.

No wonder she slapped Thor in the movie for breaking his promise, and later dumped him.

It must have been because she had done what she was supposed to do, but Thor hadn't, so the relationship of mutual need could no longer be established, and naturally, they shouldn't continue to be together.

With such logic in interpersonal relationships, no wonder she had no friends, no wonder she was treated as a weirdo!

Having seen through the essence of her personality, Su Quan found that getting along with her wasn't actually that difficult. As long as a relationship of mutual need could be established, she would execute it firmly.

Theoretically speaking, whether as a friend or a lover, or even a relationship in between, she would be more loyal than the vast majority of women!

Because what she was loyal to was her own values!

"I can tell you everything you want to know. I can even take you to Asgard or other places in the Nine Realms, and I can even take you to travel across the stars!"

"Not to mention the far away, a while ago I just went to a dead star outside the solar system called Mavis!"

"What about you?"

"What can you give me?!"

Jane Foster stared at Su Quan with bright eyes: "If you can really do it, as long as I have it and as long as you want it, everything is possible!"

"I parked a plane outside the city. Come with me tonight, and I'll tell you about Asgard and the Nine Realms." Su Quan set the conditions.

Jane Foster thought for a moment and said: "Okay! But you must prove that what you say is true!"

"How to prove it?"

"You tell me first, then we go find Thor. As long as he admits that what you said is correct, I will go with you..."

"Fine."

Su Quan agreed very readily.

Jane Foster blinked and asked suspiciously: "Aren't you afraid that I'll lie to you or use you?"

Su Quan smiled without answering, his finger drawing a circle on the dining table.

Immediately, golden light lit up, and a dim scene of flying sand and rocks instantly appeared within the circle.

"This is?!"

"Mavis."

Su Quan reached out and wiped it gently, the circle disappeared, and the tabletop returned to its original appearance, only... there were a few more gray sand grains that had been scraped over.

Jane Foster understood Su Quan's meaning; he could give her more, and he wasn't worried at all that she would lie to him for small gains.

"No need to find Thor to verify. I believe you won't lie to me. Let's go, to your plane." Jane Foster stood up decisively, ready to leave.

"..."

Su Quan shook his head dumbly. Looking at Darcy Lewis, who was completely speechless, he smiled and said: "You don't need friends, but I do!"

"If you aren't hungry, or if you are in a hurry, you can go back and prepare first."

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

Jane Foster nodded and actually accepted Su Quan's suggestion.

Watching Jane Foster leave in a rush, Su Quan said to Darcy Lewis: "Are you interested in Asgard and the Nine Realms? I can tell you, of course, without any conditions."

Darcy Lewis blinked: "Why?"

She had heard clearly and distinctly what kind of conditions Jane Foster had agreed to for this.

Why didn't she have to?

"It depends on the person."

Jane Foster's logic for interaction was mutual need, while Darcy Lewis valued emotions and feelings more.

Negotiating conditions with Jane Foster was hitting the nail on the head, and the relationship would become increasingly firm; negotiating conditions with Darcy Lewis would be like pouring cold water, and the relationship would only become increasingly cold.

Su Quan and Darcy Lewis chatted while eating. I told secrets about Asgard and the Nine Realms, and you spilled harmless little gossip about Jane Foster. Both could get each other's points. This meal could be described in four words: a very pleasant conversation.
