Chapter 275 Trading
"The owner has collected the most rare species in the entire universe..." In the huge exhibition hall, the purple-skinned alien maid "extremely enthusiastically" introduced to Josie and his party the creatures or items in each showcase on the way, and The explanation is very detailed.
Just from this point, it can be seen that this maid is much more professional than the young red-skinned maid who appeared in the movie.
The commonality between the two is that Josie and the others can feel the strong resentment and reluctance, as well as sadness and helplessness in the maid's heart even with their eyes closed.
The reason is simple, the collector has never been a master who is considerate of his subordinates.
As long as the subordinate makes a little mistake, then he is likely to make it into a fixed and immovable specimen-the living kind.
And after it is made into a specimen, it will be provided with an extremely complete life support system.
It keeps people in a state where they can't survive or die.
Treated worse than those in his collection.
After all, due to the scarcity of most of the collections of collectors, it can be said that apart from freedom, the treatment in various aspects is still very good.
For example, the duck in front of Josie and the others is wearing a red suit with a bag and drinking champagne.
When Josie and the others were observing it, it also calmly drank champagne and looked at Josie and the others, making people feel that it was the one watching.
It is the Howard Duck who appeared N times as an easter egg in the movie.
It's just that Josie didn't expect this product to appear so early and become a collector's item.
"Hello, Howard!" Josie stood still in front of the showcase and greeted the ducks inside.
"What? Howard is here too??" Hearing Josie's words, Peggy Carter, who had been following behind and observing the display cases of various alien species with a serious face, couldn't help being surprised.
"...Relax Peggy, I'm not talking about the Howard we know, but this one!" Josie pointed to the duck in the box.
"What? This duck is also named Howard? How do you know?" Hearing Josie's words, Carter looked at Howard Duck with a strange expression and asked. She strongly suspected that Josie was just playing Howard on purpose.
But what happened in the next second made Carter not calm.
Because...the duck talked.
"A hairless female orangutan who doesn't know...a duck can't be called Howard? What's the point? By the way, human! You know me?" Howard Duck, who was drinking champagne calmly, couldn't help but put down his glass when he heard the conversation between the two. First, he satirized Carter, and then asked Josie.
Carter was directly stunned by Howard Duck's sentence of the hairless female orangutan, and the rest of the people almost didn't laugh out loud.
"Of course, through some special channels, I have known you for a long time, but why are you here?" Josie also suppressed a smile and asked Howard Duck.
"Actually, it's nothing, I just sold myself when I ran out of money..." Howard shrugged nonchalantly.
Now Josie has nothing to say, she has no money to sell herself... What a strong reason.
"Guests, please follow me. The master has been waiting for a long time!" Seeing that Josie had actually chatted with Howard Duck, the alien maid couldn't help being anxious. She wasn't sure that it was too late to go to the collector. will not be angry.
After all, if the collector is angry, she doesn't know what will happen to Josie and the others, but she must go into the closet.
"Let's go to the collector first, and we'll talk later!" Seeing that the alien maid was extremely anxious, Josie didn't make things difficult for her, and said hello to Howard Duck and continued on.
"See you later, but it would be even better if you bought me and bought me a drink!" Howard Duck waved his hand to say goodbye to Josie, and then said leisurely on the sofa in the closet, doing nothing The awareness of "exhibits".
"Josie, do these people and animals have to be locked in those small cages for a lifetime? They are all intelligent creatures, this is too cruel!" On the way, Margot couldn't help but move closer to Josie. Said.
"The laws of the universe are so cruel. Just like the centaurs we encountered, many of these so-called collections are the remnants of various destroyed civilizations, or because their own civilizations are weak, they were captured and treated as Slaves have been traded here... Aliens will not talk to you about free cooking, so if you want to avoid falling into their situation, the earth must become stronger." Josie said in a deep voice.
After listening to Josie's words, Margot and Taronicus nodded secretly, while Peggy Carter's thoughts were even more complicated.
After taking over the IMF team, she can be considered to have officially stepped into the top management of the United States, and her knowledge has become more extensive.
It is not uncommon to see some private faces of high-level officials in various countries, including the United States.
Many events she has experienced have already made her understand how dirty the private transactions of those politicians are.
Plus the intricate relationships among countries on Earth.
Can an earth like this really be strong enough to gain a foothold in the universe?
Carter expressed doubts.
Or, the entire earth needs a truly unified regime and wise leaders before it can truly gain a foothold in the universe.
Otherwise, why are the Kerry Empire, Skrull Empire, Shia Empire, and Nova Empire the most powerful civilizations she has ever stabilized in the universe, all of which are centralized systems?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Josie who was walking ahead...
Josie didn't know what Carter was thinking at this time, and didn't have time to care.
Because the real master here has already appeared in front.
"Please allow me to introduce you, the greatest collector in the universe, Tanya Tiwan!" The alien maid introduced the tall figure in front of everyone wearing an unknown fur in a very high-pitched voice.
Following the opponent's turn, a strange man dressed in a flirtatious style and wearing goggles came into everyone's eyes.
"Ah~ honorable Mr. Josie Kahn from the earth, welcome to come~ To be honest, I can hardly believe that that backward planet can appear, um, the second such outstanding human being!" After the maid introduced , said the collector, opening his hands with great enthusiasm.
The backward planet he mentioned is naturally the earth.
As for why Josie is the second outstanding human being on Earth—needless to say, it must be the ancient one.
What? Dracula? Since he became a vampire, he has not belonged to the human category.
"I'm also very honored to meet Mr. Collector, who is famous in the universe!" Josie stepped forward slightly and said with a warm smile.
Facing such offensive words, Taronicus' anger was beyond words.
Although he had surrendered to Josie early on after coming to this world, it didn't mean that he let go of his pride of being a high elf.
For ordinary humans and species, he has always been dismissive.
So facing the offense of the Collector, he must not be happy.
It was only because Josie had explained in advance that this was an ancient and powerful existence that it didn't happen.
But while being angry, he also noticed a word mentioned by the collector.
That is the spirit of light... So, there are actually spirits in this world?
Of course he is very clear that this elf of light is definitely not the same as their high elves, but this does not prevent him from being curious about this so-called elf of light.
"Ahem, Collector, it's true that I'm here to make a deal with you, but this is my highly valued subordinate, it is absolutely impossible to trade with you, and his corpse is absolutely impossible, if you don't want our deal It fell through, you better put away those little thoughts of yours!" Josie coughed dryly, rolled his eyes and warned the collector.
Although he didn't want to offend the elder of the universe, it definitely didn't mean he was afraid.
I am in a hurry, believe it or not, a sword will split your lair?
Fortunately, the collector is also a savvy one. After all, he has lived for billions of years and has already become a genius. After confirming that Josie will not sell Taronicus, he no longer entangles him.
"That's really a pity, so Mr. Kahn, can you sell the rough universe stone on your body? Although you hide it well, I still smell the breath of the rough universe stone on your body!" But don't buy Taronicus However, he turned his mind on Josie's power gem again.
Different from Josie's general collection, just like Thor's Hammer and Thor, the Deviant Sword is already one with Josie to some extent, and it is the same as artifacts like Thor's Hammer and Storm Ax , also has its own consciousness, and others can't grasp it at all, and it won't be snatched away casually like the sword in the stone back then.
Therefore, when it is not necessary, Josie will not put it in the system space, but wear it around his waist, and also specially match it with a scabbard made of vibrating gold and eternal body material alloy, plus The deviation sword's own restraint of aura does not look much different from an ordinary accessory in appearance, but it is more gorgeous.
It's just that after the power gem is embedded, the aura of the power gem is not so easy to cover up.
Under the cover of the power of the gods, ordinary people can't detect it, but in front of ancient existences like collectors, they can't hide it at all.
only…
"Infinity gems? Hehe, even if I'm willing to sell...can you offer a starting price?" Seeing the collector mentioning the power gem, Josie smiled, and the deviant sword was only a little out of its sheath, and the violent energy rushed to the collector in an instant .
"Stop, stop, stop, I won't buy it!" Seeing this, the collector hurriedly shouted to stop, and he only felt a breath of infinite gems, so he thought that the infinite gems were on Josie's body.
It's just that he doesn't think Josie can control the infinite gems, and even doubts whether Josie really knows the value of the infinite gems, so he deliberately tested it.
However, looking at Josie's posture, it is obvious that he has completely controlled the Infinity Stones.
This is a whole other story.
Just like Dracula before, the Collector immediately labeled Josie as not to be messed with.
It is true that the Collector is immortal, but he will be in pain.
He doesn't feel like trying to be cut into pieces casually, or being blasted into **** by the energy of the Infinity Stone, and he is not the pervert of Deadpool who gets more and more stimulated the more he is injured.
Um? Who is Deadpool?
Seeing that the collectors were submissive, Josie returned the half-exposed Deviant Sword to its sheath, and the violent energy dissipated instantly.
"Ahem, honorable Mr. Kahn, before you came, you sent a message saying that you have a lot of goods that I am interested in, are those?" The collector pointed to the boxes carried by the robots behind Josie and his party.
After probing, it was confirmed that Josie was not easy to mess with the collector, and then he calmed down and prepared to formally discuss the transaction between them.
"That's right, lift it up!" Josie nodded upon hearing this, and waved her hand to signal the robot behind to lift the goods up.
Soon, the first metal box was lifted up. When it was opened, it was a frozen life-support cabin, and what lay inside was a troll.
"This is a troll, a creature from another world, with extremely powerful vitality, and a living... Your Excellency the Collector, what do you think?" Josie pointed at the troll in the box and introduced.
Behind Josie, Taronicus was not surprised to see the troll in the survival cabin, and there was even some gloating on his face.
Except for a few trolls that were secretly surrendered to Josie along with the sorcerer Malacas, the trolls that were obtained from Abydis were hidden, and the existence of the remaining ones was known to all the elves. .
Josie's explanation for this is also that these trolls suddenly appeared in this world together with them.
It's just that the elves have been treated well, but these trolls have been reduced to prisoners and experiments.
Regarding this, the five elves headed by Vereesa only had the pleasure of being tortured by the enemy, and they didn't have too much doubt at all.
Seeing the troll in the cargo hold, and listening to Josie's introduction, the collector's eyes lit up.
"Excellent, simply excellent!"
"Hehe, don't worry collectors, there are more good things to come!" Josie smiled and waved her hand when she saw this.
Soon the second cabinet was brought up, and when it was opened, what appeared inside was a mummy.
However, this mummy is extremely tall, more than three meters high, and looks a bit like a human being.
"This is a Vrykul, also a creature from another world, but this creature is basically extinct, so there is only one mummy!" Josie shrugged.
There is no doubt that the vrykul was also obtained by young Abbendis.
In the past few years, the bear boy Abidis has also become more and more restless. Under the guidance of Josie, he even started to form an ocean-going exploration fleet by virtue of his status as a nobleman and the shipbuilding technology provided by Josie. , and began to explore Northrend.
Because compared to other regions, Northrend at this time is relatively less powerful.
And this Vrykul mummy was found in Northrend.
Of course, the demise of the Vrykul was just Josie's nonsense, and most of the Vrykul just fell asleep because of the curse of flesh and blood.
Except for those dormant vrykul, Josh had other plans.
