Chapter 208 Arrival at Chaidar
But Karl had long been immune to other people's compliments, and rejected it expressionlessly:

"You don't have to drink. Since you are sensible, I will kindly remind you."

"Peter Quill's biological father is no ordinary person. He is Ego, the god of the Presbyterian Church of the Universe."

"He has been looking for his son recently. If you send Quill to him, he will definitely not be stingy as a god."

When Yongdu heard this, his face suddenly turned cold and he interrupted, "No! I won't hand Quill over to that guy!"

Carl suddenly realized, "Oh, I almost forgot, you took over the mission of kidnapping Quill from Ego, it seems that you have indeed softened your heart."

The waiting time was a bit boring, so Carl casually chatted about Star-Lord.

Yongdu was a little confused as to how this strange and powerful man knew the secrets of the past, but he didn't have the chance to ask.

"Boss, I'm back. This information watch belongs to the planet Chaidar. 20 has been deposited into the attached interstellar bank account, and the cosmic navigation star map is also in it."

Kraglin came back with reluctance in his eyes and handed the personal information watch to Carl.

After getting the watch, Carl tried it out briefly and found that the text on the holographic screen of the watch was in English, the universal language of the universe.

After he nodded with satisfaction, his figure disappeared directly into the spacecraft control room.

Seeing this strange strong man who came and went without a trace finally leave, Yongdu's tense face relaxed.

Kraglin shrugged and asked, "Boss, where are we going next?"

Yongdu was tough now, and ordered: "Anonymously publish the reward for this Terlan star, 50!
Also, I heard that Quill appeared on the planet Alanta recently, let's go find him!"

Kraglin finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Boss, why do you always have to protect Quill no matter how many times he betrays you? It's like the rest of us don't matter?"

Now there is no one around except his confidant Kraglin, and Yondu doesn't need to pretend anymore. He lost himself in memories and spoke slowly.

"Back then, I violated the predator's rule of never selling children for money."

“But after I found out that I had handed over the kidnapped children to Ego, they never showed up again.”

“I knew I had made a big mistake.”

"Especially after Terlan Star kidnapped Quill, I did soften my heart when I saw Quill's ignorant eyes when he was a child."

"Remember that time when I often stopped you from wanting to eat Quill?"

"On the surface, it is said that because he is relatively small, he can get into many places that adults can't enter to steal."

"In fact, over the years, I really treated him as my own son."

"I do have selfish motives. Perhaps I am really not fit to be the leader of the raiders anymore."

After listening to this, Kraglin felt mixed emotions and remained silent for a while.

A predator leader needs to have a heart of stone and not be emotional, to cruelly kill all enemies, to be indifferent and not meddlesome, and to be able to lead everyone to make money, etc.

If the leader is selfish, he will not be able to be fair and will act on his emotions, which means he will have weaknesses that can be exploited by other predatory groups.

Therefore, from the perspective of a confidant, Kraglin can understand Yondu's deep feelings for Quill.

But from the perspective of a plunderer, he was very dissatisfied with Yondu's unlimited favoritism towards Quill.

However, Kraglin was worthy of being Yondu's most loyal confidant. In the end, he said nothing and just sighed silently.

"Boss, let's go. I'll go with you to find Quill."

Yongdu gathered his thoughts and strode out of the control room, whispering:

"Don't tell anyone about what happened today, or I won't be the boss anymore!"

Kraglin followed closely behind him and said silently, "I understand, but boss, don't show too much favoritism towards Quill next time. Many brothers have private opinions about this."

At the same time, after Carl got the star map, he finally didn't have to rely on luck to enter the jump point.

After three consecutive jumps, we finally arrived at the second stop of our cosmic journey - Chaidar.

Chaidar is the most famous neutral planet in the Milky Way. There is no discrimination here and it is very inclusive and open.

Because it is protected by the Nova Corps, there is no war here and it will not be affected by the war between the Kree Empire and the Skrulls that has lasted for thousands of years.

On the streets of Chaidar, aliens of different races can be seen everywhere, walking on the garden-like streets full of flowers, fountains and green plants.

After Carl's figure came out from the jump point near the planet Chaidar, he was teleported again and entered the surface of the planet Chaidar.

Beside the garden-like street, sit down on a bench covered with exquisite floral carvings.

He chose the planet Chaidar as his second stop, mainly because it was the largest intelligence trading location in the Milky Way.

The location of the Power Stone is called the planet Mogra.

The Soul Gem is located on the planet Vormir.

Mogra is a planet that has been abandoned for a long time due to the war between the Kree Empire and the Skrull Empire. It is 1.2 light-years away from Zaidar and passes through 69 jump points.

Carl has found the location of Mogra in the star map given by Yondu.

However, the exact location of Vormir does not appear on the star map.

Therefore, if he wanted to find this secret place, he had to come to Chaidal to buy intelligence. Moreover, Carl also planned to "buy" a spaceship and some advanced technology to bring back to Earth to improve the technological strength of Umbrella.

Therefore, he was not in a hurry to get the Power Stone. After all, he knew its location and the Infinity Stones would not run away.

There is no rush to make some big purchases first.

Thinking of this, Carl got up from the bench and began to stroll slowly on the exotic garden street.

Half an hour later, thanks to Yongdu for generously giving 20 Chaidal coins.

Carl found that the 20 was quite valuable.

He purchased more than a dozen scattered technologies, including solid-state battery technology, laser energy gun manufacturing technology, room-temperature superconducting material manufacturing technology, etc.
The total cost was less than 100,000 yuan.

Of course, the main reason is that most of the things he bought were high-tech products, so the money he spent was not that much.

However, it is enough to bring some technological products back to Earth for Umbrella scientists to do reverse research.

There are also some technologies such as heavy nuclear fusion technology, light speed jump engine technology, gravity reaction field technology, etc.

These technologies were too expensive, costing tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of dollars. Carl could only sigh in despair as he simply couldn't afford them.

For him, being able to buy more than a dozen cheap and practical advanced technologies would mean that he had achieved his goal.

"I still have over 10 Chaidar coins. I also need to buy a copy of the accurate location information of the planet Vormir. If I have extra money, I will buy a spaceship for transportation."

While Karl was thinking about things, he found a few enthusiastic passers-by and asked where the intermediary's shop was.

The intermediary is the most famous intelligence dealer on the planet Chaidar.

Most intelligence dealers like to keep a low profile, and the intermediaries' shops are located inside a low building on the corner of the street.

Carl walked into the shop which didn’t even have a sign with the store name, and the space was very small and the decoration was simple.

A boss in gray clothes and red skin stood behind the counter, playing with two nano button batteries in his hands idly.

Seeing a guest coming, the middleman immediately put on a familiar smile and said, "Welcome this gentleman from Planet Terlan to our store!"

This intelligence dealer has such a great reputation, and his intelligence capabilities are indeed not to be underestimated.

No wonder Star-Lord likes to come here to purchase intelligence and submit bounty missions.

The other party's information collection ability is so strong that he can actually tell Carl's origins in one breath.

Of course, this is also related to the countless advanced detection and scanning devices hidden inside the store.

As soon as every customer enters the store, they will be subject to identity verification by advanced monitoring equipment located in hidden corners of the store.

Karl was too lazy to waste time talking to the middleman and asked directly, "I want to buy the exact location of the planet Vormir. How much is the price?"

The intermediary thought carefully for two minutes and said regretfully, "I'm sorry, as far as I can remember, we don't have the exact location information of the planet Vormir that you mentioned."

Carl frowned. Without the exact location of Planet Vormir, it would be troublesome.

"Then please recommend me a spaceship with the best cost-effectiveness."

He was fed up with the loneliness of being alone in the deep space, and planned to buy a spaceship so he could rest and have fun.

Upon hearing this, the red-skinned intermediary tapped twice on the transparent glass of the counter, projecting a holographic screen and beginning to introduce the parameters of the spacecraft on the screen.

"This is a Defender-class battleship, a standard civilian spacecraft for the planet Zaidar."

"It has fusion reactors, central intelligent brain control, quantum communication technology, energy defense system, and high-energy laser cannons"

"It comes with a small landing ship, five civilian intelligent robots, and two escape pods."

"The price is 105000 Chaidar coins."

"With a maximum speed of 0.4 times the speed of light and a range of 200 light years, it is a spacecraft with the best overall performance."

"Of course, if the guests don't like it, I still have a pursuer-type battleship here."

"The maximum speed is 0.8 times the speed of light, and the cruising range is 150 light years. It is a speed-type spacecraft."

"The price is 108000 Chaidar coins."

"There is also this Fighter-type battleship, with a maximum speed of 0.3 times the speed of light and a range of 300 light years."

"It has an ultra-high-power pulse main gun, five high-energy particle cannons, and a specially equipped light-speed jump engine that allows it to perform short-distance space jumps within three light times."

"Since this is a military-type spacecraft, the smuggling price is 27 Chaidar coins."

"If you are not satisfied with the above three warships, I still have a lot of second-hand spaceships here."

“Guests can browse the parameters and prices of second-hand spacecraft on the holographic screen at will.”

To be honest, Carl didn't have high requirements for the spaceship he wanted to buy. He mainly wanted one with a large space and complete entertainment facilities.

It doesn't matter if the speed is not fast enough, because he can teleport directly with the spaceship.

Therefore, he did not buy a new spaceship, but picked out a sightseeing and entertainment spaceship that looked good from a pile of second-hand spaceships on the holographic screen.

"Let's take this Hazel spaceship!"
