This process of delivery → employment → delivery seemed redundant for Luke, but it was necessary for the Asgardians and the workers in the modification factory.
Asgard was now in a sensitive period of semi-destruction.
They could not ask for free contributions from unrelated people, nor did they need to accept charity from others.
The supplies that Luke had rescued belonged to Asgard in the first place, and Thor would repay him with a favor. This was a personal relationship.
On the other hand, the Asgardians and the modification factory employees were public to public, so they had to trade equally.
The real harvest was the high-end items that the temporary camp had no use for. Most of them came from Odin's treasury, and a small portion came from the previous three months of plundering.
Luke wouldn't keep the high-end items for himself.
Among them, the strange thing that Thor definitely wouldn't want was the "pension" for his level-three clone that was burned to ashes.
Thor would take the rest if he needed it, and give it to Luke if he didn't.
Luke estimated that at least two-thirds of the high-end items would end up in his hands in the end, and he would need to study them for at least several hundred years.
This was the main gain from the trip to Asgard.
In the past, the experience and credit points that had been the maximum were now gone. The Asgardians were not considered people in the system, and there was no reward for saving them.
Hila, on the other hand, was immortal. Her main task was to stall Luke and not really hurt her.
For example, when Thanos almost cut Luke in half, it couldn't be considered a victory, because Luke regenerated in seconds.
Therefore, he did not get the list of Goddess of Death's abilities.
But Luke wasn't disappointed.
He had long since obtained the abilities of Thor and Loki.
Thor's endorsement, the success of the rescue operation, and the settlement of batches of Asgardian people made Heimdall grateful to Knight.
Luke easily obtained a list of the Gatekeeper's abilities.
As the All-Seeing Eyes and Clairaudient, Heimdallr's knowledge was no less than Hila's, and his knowledge was even broader.
Among the rescued Asgardians, there were also tens of thousands of people who felt a strong sense of gratitude towards him and automatically sent him a list of his abilities.
Although the quality of these people's list of abilities was not high, after combining them, it was a "Daily Encyclopedia of the Divine Realm", which was much more than the knowledge reserves in Thor and Loki's minds.
This kind of knowledge was much more important than a few experience and credit points.
But Luke didn't have time to study those things for now.
2018 could be a very important year.
On Planet 2023's side, Thanos began to take action in 2018. In a very short period of time, he gathered all six Infinity Gems and made a unique snapping gesture that belonged to the Universe's Family Planning Committee.
Luke, who had lived for decades, as well as his family and friends, couldn't accept it.
Therefore, he could only ask Director Mie of the Family Planning Committee to die.
After many exchanges with Su Rui, Tony had already come up with an improvement plan for warships and fighters, and was working overtime to produce them.
After studying the Suwerin fighter jet samples that Luke had obtained, Su Rui had modified her virtual remote control technology to allow ordinary people to pilot small fighter jets.
No matter where these ordinary people were, as long as they had a virtual cockpit, they could participate in the battle like a game.
Meanwhile, a certain high imitation warship game, 'Star Wars – Salvation', had already become popular among the players on Earth.
This game was extremely difficult to operate. In the game, it was common for the player to die when the machine was destroyed, and they had to follow the tactical orders of the computer commander. They could not kill as they wished.
But this couldn't stop a lot of paid media outlets from taking responsibility and publishing all kinds of adverts every day.
Many small new technology companies popped up and quickly organized a professional Star Wars league. These companies formed teams and signed players who performed well in the game, giving them high treatment.
The daily competitions in the Star Wars league were divided into team and individual competitions, which alternated between two or three competitions a week on average.
Although the champion of a single competition was only ten thousand dollars, the number of players who could receive a ranking prize was limited to the top one thousand.
The prize for the top one thousand was three hundred dollars, the top five hundred was five hundred dollars, the top two hundred was one thousand dollars, and the top one hundred was two thousand dollars.
There were also separate prizes for the "best fall," "most falls," "best defense," and "Discipline Pacesetter."
Even if the top one thousand players didn't join a team, as long as they worked hard in the competition, their monthly income was only a guarantee. Five thousand was normal, and if they worked hard enough, they could also try.
The most special thing was the Discipline Pacesetter bonus.
It wasn't a high amount, only 100 dollars.
But as long as the players followed the commander's orders and completed them, they would be able to get it.
There was only one problem with playing this game, and that was that they had to go to a dedicated virtual arcade in the city and use the virtual pods there.
In addition, the teams from all over the world also had their own virtual pods.
But none of this could stop the fact that Star Wars was "globally online and full of gay love," and that players could earn more than ten thousand dollars a month just by playing the game.
The virtual arcade didn't charge fees, and would only say no to the players who really didn't have any talent.
Relying on these methods, Luke had only spent "a bit of money" to recruit thousands of remote controllers for small fighter jets.
The team members who had "signed" contracts, in particular, were the best of the best.
Most of them stayed in the team's training base.
There was food, clothing, housing, and entertainment, but there were restrictions on what they could do.
They couldn't do things like high or drinking, and those who were too addicted would have their clones treat them, while also giving them psychological hints to practice hard and make progress every day.
Luke didn't have any qualms about this, because … he had paid them.
Practicing hard and making progress every day was a basic clause in the contract.
Healthy work and rest, and refusing to break the law or indulge in hobbies that would affect their competitive level were also clauses.
Thus, Luke only made sure that they fulfilled their obligations after they received a generous reward.
In order to achieve better training results, he even diluted Life One to an extremely low concentration to ensure that the remote controllers were healthy and energetic.
The players who had bad or even illegal hobbies unknowingly passed the withdrawal period and were reborn.
The best treatment center in the outside world would cost at least hundreds of thousands of dollars to complete the treatment.
The effect of the treatment couldn't be compared to the diluted Life One liquid and Luke's psychological hints at all, and the process was incomparably painful.
Since he had chosen them to help save the world, he would give them precious gifts.
At the same time, the Justice Alliance and its subordinates, PDD members, the Avengers, and the New SHIELD were all ready for battle.
The drones controlled by the Star Wars players were just cannon fodder on the battlefield.
They were just tools to prevent the superheroes from being besieged and possibly chasing down defeated troops.
Luke couldn't rely on small fighter jets to defeat the Thanos.
The real deciding factor on the battlefield was still the superheroes themselves.
