Chapter 861 Power Gem and Reporting Intelligence
Of course, those outlaw gangsters trading in the Land of Nothingness can not only increase the popularity of the Land of Nothingness, but also bring additional transactions to the collector, allowing him to accumulate wealth to a terrifying level over the past hundreds of years. Degree.
Otherwise, even if the collector is an immortal elder of the universe who has lived for countless years, his assets will not be half as rich as they are now. You must know that the collector not only holds in his hands out-of-print individuals of many rare species in the universe, but also Being able to offer a sky-high price of four billion to purchase the Cosmic Spirit Ball shows just how much wealth he has.
If it was really possible, wouldn't Thanos be willing to directly use money to reward the cosmic spirit ball? Even if it's just a reward for clues related to the Infinity Stones, it's okay, but unfortunately, even though he destroyed half of the life on so many planets, Thanos's own wealth is actually not that high.
Not to mention Thanos, even Ronan, the accuser of the Kree Empire, one of the three major empires in the universe, does not have such wealth as the Collector. The Collector is definitely one of the richest living individuals in the universe. Otherwise, he would not have the idea of infinity gems. After all, apart from infinite gems, collectors have rarely seen items that can make them excited...
On the other side, Coras, who was chasing Star-Lord and others, received news from Ronan, because Ronan heard that Coras directly attacked the space prison of the Nova Empire and almost went to war with the Nova Legion. So Ronan asked about the specific situation.
"Sir, we are chasing that boy Star-Lord. He actually escaped from the space prison and now seems to be preparing to go to the void..." Koras felt relieved when he saw that Ronan did not blame himself. He opened his mouth to explain at the same time.
"The Land of Nothingness? That is an interesting place, but if it is the Land of Nothingness, are they planning to sell the Cosmic Spirit Ball to collectors? That old guy is in some trouble, and you are not able to deal with it... " Ronan was silent for a moment after hearing what Colas said, and then said.
"You send me the coordinates to guide the interstellar traction function, and I will rush over to meet you as quickly as possible. When we meet, we will surround the entire land of nothingness. I heard that collectors have been here for hundreds of years. I don’t know how much money I made, but I didn’t pay any money to the three empires!”
"Sir, the Universe Presbyterian Church is not simple!" Coras's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he warned cautiously.
"Haha, the bullshit Cosmic Presbyterian Church is just a group of bereaved dogs that have been struggling to survive since their own civilization has been destroyed. If their own civilization is comparable to our Kree Empire, how can they be destroyed?" Ronan's voice There was a deep disdain in it.
"Today I want to let them know that their era has long passed. Now is the era that belongs to the Kree Empire. In this era, whether it is treasures or wealth, old people like them cannot get their hands on it. After all, the Kree Empire The military expenditure is still huge!”
"Yes! Sir!" Seeing that Ronan had made up his mind, Koras couldn't say anything else. He could only do what Ronan told him honestly, send the coordinates to Ronan, and lead Ronan over as soon as possible... …
"Where is the Collector? This doesn't look like a kind place..." In the land of nothingness, after the spacecraft landed, Star-Lord, who didn't know that Ronan was also coming, looked at the outlaws around him They looked at their prey and whispered to Gamora.
Star-Lord is not too familiar with the looks in the eyes of these lawless gangsters around him. Those predators looked like this when they wanted to eat him. Every time he encounters any major conflict or interest, those predators are about to lose control. They also had this look in their eyes.
But it seems that the Collector has done the same thing as Yondu. His name can calm those lawless madmen. Even lawless places also have their own special laws and rules, and it is not so easy to be completely lawless. of.
"Don't worry, the most gorgeous, brand-new, and largest building right in front belongs to the Collector. There are countless treasures collected by the Collector in it..." Gamora nodded and pointed to the building in front of him. The huge building said, "After we sell the cosmic spirit ball, we will take the money and divide it up and then leave here..."
"Leave here? Don't we have to find a way to deal with Ronan and Thanos?" Drax frowned on the side. He was not very interested in the so-called four billion because he couldn't think of anything that could improve himself. The method of strength, even by spending money.
As a reckless person with extraordinary abilities, you want Drax to engage in close combat. Drax's strength is pretty good, but if you ask him to use any technological equipment to fight, it will be a bit difficult for Drax. Raising an energy gun and shooting is already Drax's limit.
In total, Drax's performance at this time is probably a weakened version of the Hulk or the Gamma Warrior. His true power performance is not necessarily stronger than Peter Parker who did not get Thor's hammer. He can be regarded as an extraordinary strong man. , but definitely not a top-notch extraordinary powerhouse.
But even so, Drax's fearless spirit is still very eye-catching. He is like an adult version of the Hulk.
"Even if we want to deal with Thanos and Ronan, we can't discuss it here!" Gamora lowered her voice vigilantly, looking at everyone and reminding, "It's best not to discuss these things here. After all, there are all kinds of people here, and there may be special intelligence dealers. If any of us leaks out, it will not be a good thing for us!"
"Besides, after we sell the Cosmic Spirit Orb, maybe they will also receive news that we have a huge amount of money in our hands. At that time, they may not be like now, just staring at us with greedy eyes..."
"I know, wealth should not be exposed! We really can't rush to deal with those two troublesome guys. It's better for us to get the money first and then leave here quickly. I don't know if it's an illusion. Since I came here, I have been a little uneasy in my heart. I'm worried that Yondu is coming to find me..." Star-Lord nodded quickly and spoke in a low voice.
"To be honest, although our team is quite strong, it is better for us not to have conflicts with Yondu. After all, I did snatch the Cosmic Orb from them, and I am not being righteous!"
"Welcome!" While talking, Star-Lord and others had already walked into the collector's nest. A waitress came over and said respectfully to the group.
"I have an appointment with your collector. I am here to sell the Cosmic Orb..." Gamora stepped forward at this time. She was indeed in contact with the collector before. The key to trading the Cosmic Orb is not only the 4 billion bounty, but also the means for the collector to help her escape from Thanos' control!
"It's Ms. Gamora. It looks like you've succeeded. Congratulations... huh?!" The Collector came out after hearing Gamora's voice. He was about to congratulate Gamora when he suddenly stopped talking. He then looked at Groot excitedly and said, "Floral Colossi?! Such perfect Floral Colossi! I've never seen a Floral Colossi as perfect as you..."
"Today is a really good day. Can you promise me something? When you die, please sell your body to me. I'm willing to pay any price..."
"Emugroot..." Groot was not very smart and was not very good at normal language. He was stunned after hearing what the Collector said. He looked at the Collector blankly, then looked at Rocket Raccoon beside him. He didn't know what to say for a while.
"Hey! Don't think about Groot! We are here to sell the Cosmic Spirit Ball today, Groot is not for sale!" Rocket Raccoon's short figure blocked the tree man Groot, and looked at the collector vigilantly like a parent protecting his child.
"Oh, a talking raccoon? It's okay, but it doesn't have much collection value..." The collector glanced at Rocket Raccoon indifferently, and could not see Rocket Raccoon's outstanding brain in science from his ordinary appearance, otherwise he would definitely be interested in Rocket Raccoon's brain.
"Ahem, let's talk about the Cosmic Spirit Ball first, it's 4 billion, right?" Star-Lord saw that Rocket Raccoon was about to get angry, so he quickly stood up and took out the Cosmic Spirit Ball and looked at the collector and asked with a smile.
"Four billion bounty, and a little trick to help Ms. Gamora escape from Thanos..." The collector nodded, but he didn't mean to lower the price. Even though the cosmic spirit ball was in front of him, he didn't mean to force the sale. Even if Groot didn't agree to sell his body to him, the collector didn't get angry. He led Star-Lord and others to the inside of his nest.
Here, Star-Lord and others were really enlightened. They saw too many items and races that they had never seen before. However, there was a duck in a suit that made Xingjue a little confused, and there was a dog in a space suit that made Star-Lord even more confused. He didn't understand why such ordinary animals would appear in the collector's collection. Do they have special value?
But the collector didn't mean to introduce his collection. He walked to a machine and signaled Star-Lord to put the cosmic spirit ball on it. Star-Lord hesitated for a moment, glanced at the people around him, and placed the cosmic spirit ball on it after seeing the eyes of the people.
As for the eye contact between Star-Lord and others, the Collector seemed to have not seen it, and just said lightly: "This is the machine to open the Cosmic Spirit Ball. To be honest, the Cosmic Spirit Ball itself is useless. What is really valuable is the treasure in the Cosmic Spirit Ball..."
"Treasure in the Cosmic Spirit Ball? What is in it? It is worth 4 billion?" Star-Lord nodded. He had guessed that the things in the Cosmic Spirit Ball should be very precious, but he didn't know what was so valuable.
"Infinity Gem! It should be one of the Power Gem or the Soul Gem!" Just as Star-Lord's voice fell, Nebula and Gamora said in a firm voice.
"Infinity Gem? Wait! You already knew that there were Infinity Gems inside?!" Star-Lord's eyes widened instantly. If he had known that there were Infinity Gems in the Cosmic Spirit Ball, he would never bring the Cosmic Spirit Ball here!
"Yes, they are indeed the two adopted daughters of Thanos. They are well-informed!" The Collector's eyes lit up slightly. He looked at Nebula and Gamora and smiled with satisfaction, ignoring the surprised Star-Lord. Then he waved his hand to generate an image, and began to use the image to introduce the origin of the six infinity stones.
But compared to everyone who was obsessed and secretive, Star-Lord's expression did not change much, because when he was supporting the earth, he already knew a lot about the Infinity Stones from the Avengers.
Of course, Star-Lord's face didn't change much, but his heart was not very calm: "That's right! I'm really stupid. I already knew that Thanos wanted to collect infinite gems to complete his conspiracy. Now that we know that Thanos wants to snatch the cosmic spirit ball, we should have guessed that the cosmic spirit ball contains the Infinity Stones!”
"However, it is not too late now. Even if the Avengers cannot arrive in a short time, you can still store the Infinity Stones with the Collector and wait until the Avengers and Saiyans arrive to take away the Infinity Stones. Anyway, the Collector has such a large sphere of influence and must be quite powerful. He must be able to keep the Infinity Stones in the hands of Ronan and Thanos, right? I just don’t know which one of the Infinity Stones this is?"
Thinking of this, Star-Lord decisively contacted the Avengers and reported the coordinates of the void and the traces of the Infinity Stones. Star-Lord would not be vague in the face of big things, especially when he was not involved. In the case of profit, besides, it's not like he can't get the collector's reward of four billion, no matter how hard it is, Star-Lord can't lose.
"You said before that there are either power gems or soul gems in the cosmic spirit ball. It seems that Thanos only has these two infinity gems missing..." Just as Star-Lord passed the news on, the collector continued to read. Looking at Nebula and Gamora, they said, "And inside this cosmic spirit ball is the power gem. As for the soul gem, it is said that no one in the universe knows its whereabouts!"
"..." After hearing the Collector's words, Gamora's expression changed slightly, but it quickly returned to its original state, as if nothing had happened.
"Power gem! It sounds very powerful!" At the same time, the waitress's eyes gradually became greedy. (End of chapter)
