"When I was younger, I could still see the smoke coming out of the factories outside the town."

"The North American states, which have not yet come to that new era, are far less developed and beautiful than they are now."

Dressed in a casual nanosuit, Star-Lord is half-lying on a beautiful hill full of greenery, looking at the endless idyllic scenery in front of him, which is completely cultivated by some slender and slender civilian robots, and tells his green-skinned girlfriend Gamora in his arms the story of his childhood.

"The city of Denver behind us had a lot of individual buildings of different heights."

"There's a school, there's an opera house, and there's a lot of low-rise company buildings that are only 100 meters high."

As he spoke, he hugged his girlfriend and lazily shifted his body to his side.

That area was once the largest city around his hometown, once home to Denver, the capital of the old state of Colorado.

Now, a new type of city, dominated by a truly giant skyscraper with a height of thousands of kilometers, surrounded by colorful hovercar tracks, has caught the eyes of Star-Lord and Gamora with a very oppressive sense of sight.

Tens of millions of human beings live in the skyscrapers of this city that was unimaginable in the old days.

In the new era of the Earth Federation started by Edward, the process of urbanization of residents has been completely completed, even to the point that a building is a city.

Intelligent machinery has completely replaced the bottom labor force of human beings, and the world's villages and small towns have completely disappeared, except for the world's less than three digits, such as London, Washington, Beiping legendary cities with human historical monuments and some special tourist stronghold towns still maintain the urban scenery of the past, most of the population gathering places have been transformed into integrated super buildings that occupy far less land than the old cities in the past.

"But now, I don't recognize it at all, this is my hometown."

Star-Lord Peter Quayle stared at the city that had changed beyond recognition in his memory, and there was a different kind of pride and sadness in his tone.

I am proud that the development of my home planet and my hometown is beyond imagination, and such a city construction and living standard are not inferior even compared with those interstellar civilizations in the galaxy that are on the front line.

The sad nature is that the familiar city of Denver in his childhood memories, the land that carried the memories of his childhood and his mother, is no longer there, and has disappeared in the long river of time with the tide of the new era of the Earth Federation.

"Hey! Guys! ”

"See what I found?"

Rocket Raccoon-King's sharp and excited voice suddenly appeared, interrupting the sadness in Starlord Quell's tone.

The green-skinned Gamora turned his head in Star-Lord's arms, just in time to see the raccoon crossed over the shoulders of the tall Destroyer Drax.

Behind them, dragged a wild turkey with its paws tied and a circle larger than a raccoon.

After the vast majority of human beings entered the super skyscraper to live and usually indulged in entertainment in the fourth-generation electronic virtual world created by a series of human scientific and technological elites such as Tony Stark, it directly led to the fact that in the past few decades, wild animals have lost their biggest natural enemies in the past and have grown freely on the earth.

"A wild turkey, our dinner today."

The little raccoon jumped off the Destroyer's shoulder excitedly, and from his small nano robe pocket, he took out a quantum civilian capsule produced by Pym Alchemy Industry and threw it to the ground.

In a puff of rising nano smoke, a miniature commemorative version of the old era cooking equipment is magnified in a matter of seconds.

Just as Star-Lord Quill was speechless as he looked at the Rocket Raccoon in front of him, preparing the boiler and spices, the Mantis Lady, with two tentacles on her head, suddenly appeared from the woods on their side, holding a small pink flower that had just been plucked and had a little dew on the petals.

"Someone is coming, they are very powerful!"

She stared solemnly at a corner of the sky, where a medium-sized dark blue planetary shuttle turned from small to large into a striking streamer of light, shooting in the direction of where they were, appearing above them in the blink of an eye.

Upon hearing their companion's reminder, all members of the Guardians of the Galaxy stood up, staring slightly warily at the figures descending from the shuttle.

"Mr. Peter Jason Quayle, don't be so nervous, I'm Nick Ferry."

"An ordinary official of the Earth Federation."

Ferry, the one-eyed dragon dressed in the iconic black leather coat, walked over unhurriedly, came to Star-Lord and the others of the Guardians of the Galaxy, and stretched out his right hand to Star-Lord standing in the center of the Guardians of the Galaxy.

He was followed by a black-robed hooded man who exuded a sense of powerful energy oppression and a small group of arcane soldiers in the Animagus suits who had spread out to protect him.

"He's a federal official, but he's not an 'ordinary' official."

"He is the supreme commander of the Intelligence Department of the Earth Federation!"

Gamora whispered in Star-Lord's ear as she clung to Star-Lord's body.

Although Nick Ferrie is now at the peak of the secret department of this planet as in the past, he is still different from the completely secret S.H.I.E.L.D. in the old era, although he still controls the most mysterious secret agent team in the human world, but he himself is equivalent to the director of the CIA in the old era or the Minister of National Security of China, and his brief introduction information will be made public on the federal government website.

"Lord Ferry, you are not an 'ordinary' official."

Star-Lord put away his usual cynical demeanor, as the leader of the Guardians of the Galaxy who has official contact with many interstellar forces, from the gradual recovery in the past few decades, from the bloodline power of his biological father "God Igo", which made him completely ignore the energy oppression of the black-robed man behind Ferry, and stepped forward to shake Ferry's hand with an indifferent expression.

The legacy left behind by his father, "Celestial Igo", had already been dealt with by the Earth Federation decades ago.

Without pressure, the days they came to the Earth Federation are not long, and it has been almost half a month.

Their group of "aliens" can travel and tour the home planet of the Earth Federation unimpeded, and to be honest, Star-Lord and other members of the Guardians of the Galaxy can also feel the kind messages that the federal government has given them.

"Your Excellency came to me suddenly, it's the Earth Federation Government, is there anything you need our help with?"

Therefore, Star-Lord then stared into the eyes of Uncle Black in front of him, and his words were directly cut into the topic.

"Mr. Quill, if you don't mind, I will represent the federal government and restore your earthling's star registration"

Ferrie didn't know the identity of Star-Lord's father at this time, but he only linked the monitoring data of Star-Lord's public discourse on Earth during this time, and added some information about the citizens of the old era left over from the United States of America, confirming that the alien in front of him was actually a citizen of the United States of America before the federal era, a "native" earthling.

The Federation was able to find out about his childhood, in fact, Star-Lord himself knew it, and during his travel in North America during this time, he had publicly mentioned words such as "hometown" and "childhood memories" more than once.

For a good thing such as having an official identity in a powerful interstellar civilization, Star-Lord naturally will not refuse, anyway, in the Federal Constitution of Earth Citizens, there is little restriction on citizen activities outside the federal territory, and it will not affect his future life as an interstellar mercenary.

Therefore, Star-Lord neither immediately accepted nor immediately objected, but only responded flatly.

"This kind of trivial matter, I don't need His Excellency Ferry to inform me personally!"

"That's right, Mr. Quill, if you agree."

Uncle Ferry, the black uncle, no longer detoured, and directly said his intention.

"I also bring with me a letter of appointment signed by Lord Gleman, the Supreme Consul of the Federation."

"You will travel to the Nova Republic as an ambassador to the Earth Federation Mission."

Hearing that it was a serious diplomatic appointment, Star-Lord Quill was immediately unhappy in his heart, not that Star-Lord didn't have this ability, just kidding, Star-Lord hadn't been to that star-nation in the galaxy? Even the Supreme Leader of the Nova Republic, Irani Rael, had a good conversation and laughter with Star-Lord when she gave her the Power Gem.

But then Ferry's words forcibly blocked the word "refusal" that was about to be said in Starlord Quill's mouth.

"The galactic warlord Thanos is already at war with the 'Asgard-Earth Federation Alliance'."

"We hope that you will keep the Nova Republic on our side as much as possible!"

Standing behind Star-Lord, the other members of the Guardians of the Galaxy, who had thought that they had nothing to do with themselves, all changed their faces when they heard this.

Star-Lord Quill's originally calm face instantly became solemn after hearing the word "Thanos".

When he first arrived at the Earth Federation, the first thing he participated in was to witness the alliance dinner between Asgard and the Earth Federation, but he never expected that the purpose of the alliance between the two families was actually to deal with Thanos. You must know that Purple Sweet Potato has an irreconcilable blood feud with most of the members of its own team! Among them, even Star-Lord Quill's own girlfriend Gamora.

He hesitated slightly, whether it was for the sake of his brother and girlfriend, or the safety of his home planet, he knew in his heart that he could not refuse the appointment of the Federation at all, so he simply said decisively.

"I don't know where you got your information, but the Nova Republic does have a good relationship with me."

"I, accept this appointment!"
