Chapter 319 Commissioning a Cosmic Predator
Although the laws of Xandar are extremely perfect, light can never cover darkness.
A broker can easily do business on Xandar. On the surface, he is just an ordinary collection hall, but his secret customer base is all over the Andromeda Galaxy, and even people from the Kree Empire.
Although the Kree Empire and the Nova Corps have just ceased fighting for a short time, the broker's business relationship has lasted for at least several decades; as long as the benefits are enough, breaking the law is common everywhere.
Kahn does not have much impression of things in the Marvel Universe, and his understanding of the universe is still learned from Loki.
After checking the collection hall on Xandar, Kahn finally came to an ordinary and unpredictable place.
The boss here is a very famous broker in the underground of Xandar. He not only has a high-end customer base, but also can contact many cosmic predators, both formal and informal; generally, he takes over the commission and then transfers it to the cosmic predators.
At this time, people in the high-end customer base generally do not appear. They just don't want to be exposed and look for brokers, otherwise the cosmic predators are so famous that they can be found casually.
"Guest, is there anything you need?"
After Kahn and Betty entered the store, the owner of the collection hall immediately came up to them. On the surface, he was just an ordinary collection owner, although he didn't make a living from this.
Kahn and Betty looked around the store, and then said to the owner: "I want to entrust the plunderer to find a cosmic spirit ball. I hope the owner can help me contact him."
Where did this newbie come from?
After hearing what Kahn said, the broker boss suddenly had this thought in his mind; generally no customer would come to the store like this, and now the door is still open, is it so fair and aboveboard?
The broker immediately closed the door, then turned around and said to Kahn: "Sir, I don't do anything that violates the laws of the Nova Corps. All I do is legitimate business."
"This is 50,000. You just need to introduce me to a space predator. I remember there is a team leader named Yondu. If there is no problem, he will do it. Boss, you just need to call him over, and the 50,000 will be yours."
After hearing Kahn's words, the broker was immediately tempted. He only needed to contact someone to make 50,000. He hadn't encountered such a good business for a long time.
However, he was a little skeptical. This was the first time he had met Kahn in front of him, and he didn't know him very well.
"This is 50,000. When can I see the space mercenary?"
Kahn noticed the broker's worries, so he chuckled and took out a card. This was a universal account chip in the universe, with an amount of 50,000 in it, which he got from Loki.
He had supported Loki with a lot of materials, so naturally he had to get some money. Although Asgard rarely communicated with other forces in the universe, there was still a lot of money. As the acting king, Loki could naturally use the king's authority to benefit himself.
He took a total of 500,000 from Loki, which was enough for his expenses in the universe.
"Providing services to customers has always been my purpose of doing business. Please wait a moment and I will give you a reply within half an hour,"
the broker said with a smile, and took the account chip away very flexibly in his hand, and then immediately went into the house, apparently preparing to check the account chip and contact the cosmic mercenary.
After a while, the broker boss came out of the house again. This time, the smile on his face was more natural. He said to Kahn, "Sir, I have already contacted you. Yondu will come to the planet at the coordinates of XN32-MU78 tomorrow to wait for you. But sir, are you sure you don't need me to convey the commission? This will be safer."
Although he said so, the broker boss hoped that Kahn would go to find Yondu and the others by himself. He could earn 50,000 just by talking. If he got involved, he would not be able to earn more, but would be risky.
"No need, boss, I will go by myself. What is that? Introduce it to me?"
After discussing the matter of the space mercenary, Kahn asked about a necklace in the collection cabinet. The style was very beautiful. Betty noticed the necklace as soon as she entered the house.
"Oh, that, the Phantom Necklace, is a legacy of the Shadow Race. After the Shadow Race was destroyed, the whereabouts of this necklace were unknown, and I bought it a few decades ago."
The broker paused, and then continued to introduce: "It has no other uses. It has a special style and can produce several phantoms of itself when worn, which can be considered to confuse the enemy, but more functions may only be used by people from the Shadow Race."
"Do you want to sell it?"
The broker smiled and said, "Fifty thousand."
"Let's trade."
After saying that, Kahn took out an account chip. The broker took it with shining eyes after seeing this, and then pressed the control button on his body. The next second, the collection cabinet opened.
"The welcome necklace is now yours, sir, ma'am."
The function of this necklace is indeed ordinary. The alchemical items made by Kahn are much more practical than this, but since Betty likes it, he bought it.
After getting the necklace, the two of them wandered around Xandar for a while. The architecture here is in a different style from Asgard, but Asgard's architectural style has traces of the Middle Ages on Earth. Compared with the technology of Xandar, Betty still prefers the latter.
However, it will take at least 30 years for the Earth to develop to the level of Asgard. However, Kahn can turn New York, the headquarters of the Pent Group, into a technological city. Anyway, the Hive is also underground in New York City. After returning, he can ask Red Queen to come up with a design plan.
On the second day, Kahn and Betty went directly to the coordinate planet provided by the broker.
It is one light year away from Xandar and is still within the influence of the Nova Corps, but there are no life planets, all of which are broken asteroids.
Betty also stood beside Kahn in a close-fitting protective suit. She was worried that she would be a burden, but this was not a war, just a commission.
Not long after, a huge spaceship arrived here through a space jump.
After the space jump, Yongdu on the spaceship saw the people on the asteroid as soon as possible.
"Boss, that guy doesn't seem to have brought anything with him!?"
One of the space mercenaries pointed at Kahn and said to Yondu in surprise. Only some special races and gods can survive in the universe directly. Others can't adapt to the environment of the universe at all, especially the place chosen by Yondu is a place with a relatively harsh environment in the universe. A large planetary collision occurred thousands of years ago.
Being able to survive in the universe without any protective equipment is a deterrent in itself.
"Where did this person come from? There is such a..." "This is our employer, what are you afraid of?"
After saying this, Yongdu called a few people to leave the spaceship with him and walked towards the asteroid where Kahn was.
After Yongdu came over, Kahn didn't waste any words and told him the content of the commission directly. He wanted to find a cosmic spirit ball.
The cosmic spirit ball is a mechanism for placing small items. It is made of very hard metal and is difficult to destroy. Moreover, the cosmic spirit ball has a self-destruction function. If it is opened in the wrong way, the things inside will be finished.
Although there are not many of these things in the universe, a few of them will pop up from time to time.
Kahn forgot which planet Star-Lord found the cosmic spirit ball where the power gem was stored. He just roughly remembered that it was an abandoned planet where a civilized race once lived; he only remembered that the people living on this planet were very similar to the people on Earth. This information was a bit useful to Yongdu.
Echoing what Kahn said, there are countless planets in the universe. Yongdu was also very embarrassed after hearing it. With only this little information, they didn't know how long it would take to find it.
However, Kahn offered a sky-high price of 400,000, which made Yongdu agree directly.
Four hundred thousand, this is a big business that they rarely come across, and there is no danger. They just need to search for the cosmic spirit ball on an abandoned life planet, although that life planet is very difficult to find.
But the reward is very high. If the high price of four hundred thousand is spread, it can at least attract thousands of cosmic mercenary teams.
"I have told you the contact information. If this commission is completed, I will have more commissions for you in the future, Mr. Yondu."
After saying that, Kahn and Betty left here.
He entrusted it to Yondu on a whim. His plunderer team is quite strong, and the power gem was also found by Star-Lord. Maybe he can find it this time.
The power gem is equivalent to the buff of other infinite gems. As long as there is the power gem, space gem and mind gem, there is almost no threat to Kahn, even if the other three gems are combined.
After leaving the asteroid for trading, Kahn and Betty visited many places in the Andromeda Galaxy.
Kahn also went to the Land of Ignorance, but he didn't have much money, and he didn't see any collectors. He just bought some Celestial Potion; this was a potion extracted from the body tissue of an ancient Celestial God. It sold very well on the black market and could help many races become stronger.
Kahn bought it back and prepared to experiment. If he could make the super soldiers continue to evolve, then Umbrella would become stronger and stronger.
In addition to the Land of Ignorance, Kahn also took Betty to Sakaar, where he saw many fighting between cosmic races. Bloody and cruel scenes filled the fighting field, but many people liked this kind of exciting fighting very much. Here, they could even buy war slaves to let them play.
If the bought war slaves could win every time, then they would make a lot of money, and the money they spent on buying war slaves could be multiplied by a hundred times.
Betty was a little uncomfortable with this bloody environment, and Kahn's trading system also had new changes, and another trading world appeared.
This time the interval was not long, less than a few months after the end of the devouring, which surprised Kahn.
Moreover, the trading world this time was a little strange. It was not known whether it was a system error or something else. It was completely different from the past. In addition, they had not been out for long, and Betty was not very used to Sakaar, so Kahn set off to return to Earth.
"Come out!"
Thor shouted loudly after arriving at the agreed location. Not long after he shouted, Nick Fury came out of the bar. This was the bar where he first talked to Carol. After being bought by Nick Fury, it had not been renovated, so it was still in the style of the 1970s and 1980s.
In addition to Nick Fury, there are Stephen, Clinton, T'Challa, Bruce Banner and others; after the Eternals were captured, they immediately left the border of the Amazon rainforest and came to this bar.
"Hello, I'm Nick Fury."
Before Nick Fury finished speaking, he was interrupted by Thor: "To be honest, I was warned before coming here, so I don't really want to meet you. The reason I came here is just interested in the Cosmic Cube.
So, what do you want to say to me? If there is nothing else, I will leave."
Thor's words made most of Nick Fury's next words aborted. He knew that aliens were difficult to deal with, but he didn't expect Thor to say it right away.
"Okay, I roughly know your origins. Although I didn't believe it before, the legendary Thor's hammer is on Earth, so I can't help but believe it."
Nick Fury said directly to Thor: "The Cosmic Cube is not in my hands now. It was taken away by the people of the Pent Group. If you know about the Cosmic Cube, you should know how dangerous this thing is. I hope you can help us."
"The Cosmic Cube was originally an item from Asgard, but my father placed it on Earth for safety reasons. So I know the capabilities of the Cosmic Cube better than you do. And let alone helping you, Asgard will not get involved in disputes on Earth!"
Nick Fury said immediately, "The Punt Group that obtained the Cosmic Cube is not something that Earth can satisfy. His name is T'Challa, and he was originally the prince of Wakanda. Now Wakanda has been destroyed. According to my investigation, the reason for Wakanda's demise is because they have technology that surpasses the top technology on Earth.
And the Cosmic Cube contains unlimited energy. In the hands of the Punt Group, they will sooner or later take action against the universe. Have they already taken action? Or do you know something?"
As he was speaking, Nick Fury suddenly noticed that there was something wrong with the expression on Thor's face, so he changed his question; he was just saying a possibility, but he never thought that the Punt Group would really head towards the universe.
"This matter has nothing to do with you. Is that all you want to say?"
"I am for peace, because I feel that you also love peace. We are the same kind of people. If you don't believe me, you can come here to find me anytime during your time on Earth."
"Too boring."
Thor turned around and walked out of the bar without listening to Nick Fury's words.
He did think of something just now. According to what Sif and others said, Loki's abnormal behavior has a lot to do with Carnpenter. Thor has no idea what is happening in Asgard now. He used to be more open-minded, but now he really wants to return to Asgard.
And Thor just found out that Carnpenter has the Cosmic Cube in his hand. This is originally a top treasure in Odin's treasury. Once it falls into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, it may really pose a threat to the universe.
At the beginning, the Frost Giants took the Ice Box and tried to freeze the entire Nine Realms. The Cosmic Cube is a more powerful treasure than the Ice Box.
Thor returned immediately after leaving the bar, ready to ask Sif about the situation in Asgard in detail.
