The only player in the Marvel universe.

Chapter 180 Is there a dog's head on this Pharaoh's head?

Without the silly figures standing by, Gamora turned to Du Mu and asked seriously, "Is the Orb of Destiny on you?"

I guess so.

Du Mu nodded.

Since the Cosmic Orb couldn't be stored in the game's inventory, he put it in a very hidden place.

Gamora breathed a sigh of relief: "In that case, how about we make a deal? I know a buyer who is willing to pay 40 billion cosmic coins for the cosmic orb you have."

40 billion cosmic coins!?

Du Mu was immediately shocked: "You mean that cosmic orb is worth 10 quills?"

Quill:

'

'

When did I become a unit of measurement?

Gamora nodded: "That's right. I wanted the Orb of the Universe before because I was planning to give it to that buyer. If you're willing to give me the Orb of the Universe, we can split the money."

Quill quickly interjected, "Wait! You have to count me in! It was my fellow countryman who found the Orb of the Universe with me."

"And me too. Don't forget who helped you escape from prison."

Rocket Raccoon chimed in, casually revealing that they were a group of escaped convicts.

Quill glared at him, but Rocket Raccoon didn't seem to care.

"What's wrong? I didn't say anything wrong."

Drax clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, "I don't want money, I just want Ronan. He killed my wife and daughter, and I'm going to kill him!"

Quill chuckled foolishly: "That's great, then we can split the money among four people instead of one."

"I love Groot."

"Okay, plus a tree."

What a bunch of idiots!

Gamora rolled her eyes. As a normal person, she always felt out of place among this group of idiots.

If it weren't for the circumstances, she would have stayed far away from these guys long ago, especially Quill, who was the most ridiculous of all, so as not to be infected by their ridiculous temperament.

She asked Du Mu, "What do you think of this deal?"

Du Mu chuckled: "Why should I agree to your offer? Wouldn't it be better for me to keep the forty billion cosmic coins all to myself?"

Gamora calmly replied, "Because only I know who the buyer is, and they need my introduction."

If it were her usual style, she would have already taken it by force. Even if she couldn't find the Cosmic Orb, she would have plenty of ways to force her to reveal it.

But now she has resolved to turn over a new leaf and is no longer the ruthless killer under Thanos. Now she has to do things with virtue and avoid violence if possible.

Having said all that, it's definitely not because she couldn't beat Du Mu!

[NPC Gamora Jeanne Hubelli Ben Titan has issued you a new quest]

[Task: Big Deal]

Objective: Assist Gamora in safely delivering the Orb of Destiny to the buyer.

[Mission Rewards: Experience +1000, Guardians of the Galaxy Affinity +10, Random Item *1, Random Equipment *1]

Guardians of the Galaxy?

It looks like it's probably the name of this group of idiots.

Du Mu was not surprised by this. The group of people in front of him exuded a silly and absurd vibe, and they were a perfect match. It would be hard to believe that they were not a group.

"make a deal."

Du Mu thought about it and then agreed.

Seeing this, everyone except Groot and Drax breathed a sigh of relief.

They had witnessed Du Mu's abilities firsthand, and Quill had already embellished the story of this fellow villager to them.

For example, Du Mu led three hundred Asgardian warriors to plunder dozens of raider ships, making the raiders a laughing stock throughout the universe.

For example, Du Mu was an earthly magician who could smash a stone man with an axe and knock down Ronan's men with a punch.

The Guardians of the Galaxy were amazed.

Although they didn't know what a magician was, judging from the description, it must be a profession with extremely strong combat power, and the image of a muscular man wielding an axe instantly appeared in their minds.

This group of people are usually fearless, but none of them want to go against a ruthless person like Du Mu, because in the end they will be the ones who suffer.

Quill's face lit up with joy upon seeing Du Mu's agreement: "Great! Where is the Cosmic Orb?"

"Wait me a moment."

As soon as he finished speaking, Du Mu vanished into thin air, leaving everyone present dumbfounded.

A few minutes later, he reappeared in the same spot, holding an exquisite metal sphere in his hand—the Cosmic Spirit Sphere.

"Fellow villager, how did you do that?" Quill asked in astonishment.

"I already said I'm a mage, it's normal for mages to be able to teleport."

Du Mu, too lazy to explain further, instead asked, "So, how did you find me?"

He could tell that these people had a clear objective and were obviously after him.

Quill chuckled: "I was worried that your spaceship might have been stolen, so I secretly installed a tracking device on it. We followed the coordinates all the way here."

"After we arrived here, we found out that someone was entrapping people, robbing a lot of them, and selling more than a dozen unlucky guys to the slave market. As soon as I heard about this style of doing things, I knew it must be you, so I brought everyone here."

Why worry about the spaceships being stolen? They clearly want to track his movements and find those dozens of hidden spaceships.

Du Mu was well aware of Quill's intentions.

Don't let his constant laughter and silliness fool you; he may seem like a fool, but he's actually quite shrewd. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to thrive in the cutthroat world of interstellar life.

Sure enough, that beating he just got was entirely deserved.

The buyer Gamora mentioned happened to be in this void.

On the way to find a buyer with Gamora, Du Mu asked curiously how this group of oddballs came together.

Rocket Raccoon spoke without restraint, revealing everything about their affair.

It turns out that shortly after they were imprisoned, Gamora revealed that the Orb of Destiny was worth four billion. Quill and the Nature duo, upon hearing that this thing was so valuable, immediately devised an escape plan. They put the plan into action a few seconds later and escaped in less than a few minutes.

Du Mu was speechless upon hearing this.

The security level of this interstellar prison is comparable to that of the talent-filled Arkham Asylum; you can escape anytime.

Drax boarded the bus midway through the journey. He was misled by Quill into believing that Ronan was hunting Gamora, so he followed Gamora around every day, determined to find Ronan and either kill him or be killed by him.

However, they didn't have a Cosmic Orb, and because they were wanted by the Nova Corps, they dared not return to Xandar to find Du Mu. So they had no choice but to form a temporary team, swindling... cough cough, taking on odd jobs to earn some hard-earned money so they wouldn't starve to death on the streets, while waiting for news from Du Mu.

Although they were just a temporary team, it has to be admitted that their relationship has gotten better and better during this time, and they've become more and more silly.

Although Gamora considers herself the only normal person in the team, it's not hard to see that she's already showing some silly traits. After all, she spends the most time with Quill every day, and their distance is almost zero, so it's hard for her not to be influenced by him.

Just a few days ago, Quill's tracking device finally received a movement signal, and they rushed over without stopping.

And that's how the scene just now unfolded.

Du Mu truly hadn't expected that part of the reason this group of idiots formed was because of him.

Of course, the main reason is that sand sculptures attract each other; this is a universal law.

Wrong, so the reason they were attracted to me is that I'm also a fool?

Du Mu's face stiffened, and he immediately denied the idea.

How could someone as serious and upright as him be a fool!

As they talked, they walked through the streets made of giant skeletons and finally stopped in front of a tall and peculiar building.

A pink alien woman stood in front of the door. When she saw Gamora, she bowed slightly in greeting.

"Lady Gamora, my master has been waiting for you for a long time."

"lead the way."

Gamora responded calmly.

Following the alien maid, the group ventured deeper into the building.

The spacious area was filled with densely packed square transparent display cases, resembling a giant biological museum.

Each display case contains a different alien race, and you can even see a duck that looks like a cartoon character. In the next display case, there is a large yellow dog that is common in Eastern countries of Earth. All these creatures are imprisoned in transparent containers like exhibits.

The alien maid smiled and introduced, "Our collection of treasures is the largest in the entire galaxy, with all kinds of rare species."

Du Mu's eyes lit up: "Do you have any white-haired, red-eyed catgirls here?"

Alien Maid: "...I don't think we have that."

"My friend, the race you just mentioned has piqued my interest. If you find it, I'm willing to pay a high price for it."

A strangely styled, white-haired man in a long robe stepped out of the display case.

[NPC: Tanlia Tivan]

Codename: Collector

【Favourability: 0】

[Evaluation: The Grandmaster's brother, a collector of living figurines, the universe's Noah's Ark, and one of the world's richest men.]

He's definitely a rich guy; he actually managed to pull out 40 billion cosmic coins.

This is definitely a considerable sum.

It's worth noting that Quill's bounty was only 40,000 cosmic coins, yet it made Rocket Raccoon incredibly excited, exclaiming that he wanted to become rich. This shows just how much purchasing power this 100,000-fold amount truly has.

"If I actually find it, I'd rather keep it for myself."

Du Mu changed the subject, looking around at the display cases: "By the way, are you selling these items?"

The collector was clearly stunned.

Over the years, he has always been the one asking others this question; this is the first time someone has turned around and tried to buy his collection.

"So, you also enjoy collecting different rare species?"

"No, I like to barbecue it."

collector:

'

'

It turns out the other person wasn't a collector, but a gourmet.

His lips twitched slightly: "Sorry, these are all non-sale items, no matter how much money you offer."

"Is that so? That's a real shame."

Du Mu shook his head regretfully; he still wanted to try what the effects would be if special species were made into barbecue.

"Yes, that's such a pity!"

Quill nodded vigorously, unable to resist wiping away his drool.

He still can't forget the taste of the barbecue that Du Mu made before. Just reminiscing about it can make him eat several bowls of rice, to the point that his abs have now become one solid piece.

Gamora glanced at Quill with some disdain.

She must have been blind these past few days to almost have close contact with this guy.

"Tivan, we've brought the Sphere of the Universe."

Gamora spoke up, interrupting the collector who was staring at Groot.

The collector's attention was immediately drawn to it: "Let me see!"

Du Mu took out the Cosmic Spirit Orb from his bosom.

The collector's eyes lit up immediately. He carefully reached out and took the Cosmic Spirit Orb from Du Mu's hands, his movements as gentle as if he were handling a fragile, priceless treasure.

He held the cosmic orb close to his eyes, examining it closely, muttering to himself repeatedly, "Perfect..."

That attitude is just like how an otaku treats his limited edition waifu figure.

However, before the collector could admire it for long, Du Mu roughly snatched it back from his hands.

"Brother, stop touching it, pay first."

"Okay, okay, I'll pay you, just be gentle with it."

The collector immediately became anxious and quickly gestured to the pink maid to bring a delicate metal box.

As he unlocked the safety lock, he cautioned, "These are Infinity Stones, not ordinary toys. Be careful not to drop them..."

Du Mu raised an eyebrow: "You know about the Infinity Stones?"

"certainly."

The collector immediately perked up, as if showing off his vast knowledge: "Before the creation of the universe, there were six singularities. Then the Big Bang created everything. The remnants of these six singularities were collected and condensed into gems, called the Infinity Stones."

Du Mu narrowed his eyes slightly; this sentence contained a lot of information.

He was very curious about who was so amazing as to collect the remnants of the singularity at the beginning of the universe and refine them into these powerful Infinity Stones.

At this moment, the maid presented a fine metal box to everyone.

Inside the box were forty crystal-clear energy crystals, each emitting a faint blue light. These were the highest denomination currency circulating in the universe, each worth one hundred million universe coins.

Quill and the others stared in disbelief; they had never seen so much cash in their lives.

After Du Mu checked and confirmed that everything was correct, he handed the cosmic spirit orb back to the collector.

The "Big Deal" settlement is complete.

[Rewards: 1000 XP, Guardians of the Galaxy affinity +10, 10,000 Ghost Coins, Pharaoh's Scepter]

[Item: 10,000 Ghost Coins (Money makes the world go round)]

[Props: Pharaoh's Scepter (Historical artifact, highly collectible, weighing 300KG)]

The rewards are still somewhat related to the mission objectives.

One is rich, the other is a collector.

However, Du Mu has never seen a ghost, though he has seen quite a few black ghosts and vampires. He doesn't know if ghost coins have any effect on them.

But what really made Du Mu lose his composure was that the pharaoh's scepter weighed a whopping 300 kg.

You call this a scepter?!

Is this pharaoh wearing a dog's head on his neck?
