Chapter 503 No Money
Ethan reunited Star-Lord and the others, and the Mirano and the unnamed Raider fighter brought by Yondu all started flying in the same direction again.
As for where to go? These people have no plans, just want to figure it out, and fly anywhere. The temporary goal is to find a planet to replenish some basic supplies.
Xingjue still needs to talk to Ethan about the commission this time.
"I don't know why, but I always feel that something is different about you."
Xingjue kept looking at Ethan, obviously the same, he didn't even change his clothes, but it gave him a feeling that Ethan had changed a lot, but he couldn't figure out why he had such a change. cause of feeling.
"It's just some magical comprehension. You don't have to worry too much about these things. Let's talk about the entrustment."
"Yes, yes, we are only interested in the entrustment." Rocket Raccoon stayed by the side all the time. Because of his height, he stood on the table next to him. Standing here was the only way to have an 'equal' conversation with Ethan and the others.
"Wait, this seems to be 'my job opportunity'? It should have nothing to do with you!"
The relationship between Star-Lord and Rocket Raccoon did not improve because of killing Ego together. After all, Rocket Raccoon had chased him before. Only the father who killed him escaped from the predicament.
Now it seems that if he was caught by Rocket Raccoon and returned to Yondu at that time, maybe there would be no troubles that happened later, but this does not mean that he can forget those festivals-losing face is a big thing, so it is so easy to ignore it.
When these two guys were arguing, Ethan noticed that Nebula and Gamora were always talking together. Although the two women had stinky faces, as if standing next to this person made her feel very uncomfortable, but they The conversation between them never stopped, and with his extraordinary hearing, Ethan was able to hear what they were saying.
Gamora and Nebula have been discussing Ethan.
From the content of the conversation between the two women, it can be known that this is not the first time they have discussed themselves, and the sisters did not reach a consensus on some things.
Nebula thinks that he should find a way to persuade Ethan to fight against Thanos, and it is best to kill Thanos. Although she doesn't know if she can succeed, she doesn't know if Ethan can compete with Thanos or whether she will be killed by Thanos.
She doesn't care about Ethan's life or death at all. If Ethan can survive, even if he can't kill Thanos, it proves that Ethan is a strong man who can fight against Thanos. Considering that there are Asgard's brothers, killing Thanos Bullying is no longer impossible.
If Ethan can't defeat Thanos, or even save his own life, then Nebula must either die together, or find a way to save his life, and then look for the next chance.
After all, Nebula didn't know Ethan at all, and she agreed to follow Ethan from the beginning just to achieve her own goal.
After reuniting with Gamora, bickering, and confirming the other party's deepest thoughts - they all want to kill Thanos! For the time being, the two sisters are on the same front again.
It's just that Gamora doesn't quite agree with Nebula's idea. She feels that even if she wants to fight Thanos, she shouldn't involve people who have nothing to do with it.
Nebula's explanation for this is: Asgardians hold infinite gems, and Thanos will find them sooner or later. They have naturally stood on the opposite side of Thanos, so they can't be called irrelevant people at all.
Occasionally, there are some mocking words about why Gamora suddenly became soft-hearted, and whether he wants to be a good person. Of course Gamora would not allow Nebula to ridicule, and it was inevitable that he would exchange a few words, and then he talked about his plan-to hide the information of the infinite gems as much as possible, so that Thanos could not get these gems.
As long as Thanos can't collect all the Infinity Stones, then he won't carry out his terrible plan.
Gamora's plan is to procrastinate, use the infinite gems to hang Thanos' attention, maybe Thanos will grow old after countless years? At that time, there might be a way to deal with him... right?
She is not very sure about this, because since she knew about Thanos and became his adopted daughter and was raised and taught by him, she has not seen signs of aging in Thanos.
There are many races in the universe, and there is no shortage of longevity species. She is not sure how long Thanos' lifespan is, but when she clearly understands Thanos' strength, she does not think anyone can confront Thanos head-on, so she can only Choose such a negative coping method.
Even though she had just witnessed the battle between Ethan and Ego, she was not sure that Ethan had the strength to confront Thanos head-on.
She just thinks that with Ethan's strength, he can keep the infinite gems well, and maybe Thanos will never be able to collect all the gems.
In this case, there is no need to take the initiative to tease Thanos, as that would be suspected of sending the infinite gems to the door.
The two sisters are still arguing, and Rocket Raccoon and Star-Lord have barely reached a conclusion - but there is no result, neither of them agrees with the other, but at least they are on Star-Lord's spaceship, and Ethan is indeed They came to see Xingjue, so the two quarreled for a while, and finally asked Xingjue to come and talk to Ethan.
"I need you to help me conduct a detailed survey of a certain planet. To be honest... I don't know much about it."
"survey?"
In the past, the work entrusted to Xingjue or the Marauders was not a clean job. Things like this kind of planet survey were not their turn to do. Xingjue had no idea that Ethan wanted to entrust such a job.
"Surveying planets? What a boring job."
Rocket Raccoon said so, but he still didn't leave.
"To shut up!"
Considering that he just killed his own father, his stepfather seems to be in a state of bankruptcy, and he has no income for a while. If he hadn't made a fortune from Ethan back then, he wouldn't be able to survive now, so he would have taken the initiative To pick up various jobs to make money.
"Why do you want me for this kind of work?" Xingjue thought for a while, and then explained a little bit: "It's not that I don't know how to do these things, it's just that some countries send special teams to do this kind of planet survey work. Very few people like us are hired."
More importantly, most of the planets in the Milky Way have been surveyed. Although the Milky Way is so big, most of the habitable planets have been occupied, and the few that are still vacant have already been marked by powerful forces. Get your hands dirty.
want to? Can! Take money to buy! If the price is good, you can sell a small habitable planet!
As for large...resource-rich planets, no civilization force will transfer them at will. Obtaining such planets basically means an interstellar war.
But even if it is to seize the planet, the target planet has already been surveyed, it seems that there is no need to find someone to survey it again, right?
"The planet I asked you to survey is not in the Milky Way."
"Not in the galaxy?"
Star-Lord hasn't said anything yet, but Rocket Raccoon has shown some interest in this mission.
"Is it a planet in another galaxy? Or a wandering planet in the dark area?"
The so-called dark area refers to the large areas between galaxies that seem to have nothing. Of course, these areas are not completely empty. There are various particles, particles, atoms and other substances, and there are also stars. Existence, just scattered and not as 'dense' as the stars in the galaxy, and not necessarily moving in any direction, and not sure where it will end up.
Maybe it will be captured by a certain galaxy at some point and become a new member of this galaxy, or it may wander in the dark area forever.
"Sorry, I can't disclose the specific content for the time being. If you accept this commission, I will be able to tell you more."
In Ethan's view, Rocket Raccoon is not a subject that must be kept secret. If there is no accident, this raccoon and that big tree will still join Star-Lord's team - because he seems to have nowhere else to go, maybe this Will a commission become the first official mission of the Guardians of the Galaxy?
"So that's a completely unknown area?"
"Unknown star fields, unknown planets, everything is unknown, I need to find a veteran with rich experience, after all, I don't have this experience, and at the same time I need to find someone I can trust, that's why I came to you. "
Star-Lord nodded, and the reason Ethan gave was very convincing. If he was facing this situation, he would have made a similar choice.
"You made an extremely correct choice. I'll take this job." Xingjue didn't care about the reward, because he had the impression that Ethan was not a stingy person. The reward he gave for hiring himself to find the Cosmic Spirit Orb before was Rich: "Let's talk about the specific situation."
While talking, he was still waving his hand to signal Rocket Raccoon to go away quickly. Next, he will discuss the work content with Ethan, and those who are irrelevant should stay cool and stay.
However, Rocket Raccoon has never been an obedient person (raccoon?), if you ignore his words, he may leave by himself when he is bored; With their shoulders on their shoulders, they once again sparred with Xingjue - just mocking each other.
But Ethan's words drew the two people's attention back.
"There is something that must be made clear to you in advance. I have no way to use money as a reward for this entrustment."
Xingjue didn't ask about this matter, Ethan could let him finish the task first, and then use other methods as reward, even if Xingjue wanted to refuse, Ethan's matter would have been resolved by then.
But this approach violated Ethan's principles of handling things. He felt that it would be better to explain this situation in advance, even if Xingjue rejected his commission this time.
"What? No money? What are you talking about if you don't have money?"
Rocket Raccoon behaved more intensely than Star-Lord, as if it wasn't Star-Lord who couldn't get the money but him. On the contrary, Xingjue remained silent for a while, and still expressed his willingness to accept Ethan's commission.
