Chapter 417: The Collector
The Tiffan Group, probably the richest private company in the universe, is a wealthy country. Their boss, Collector Tiffan, is a weirdo who misunderstands the word fashion.
But don't look at this guy a little weird, but he was able to offer a bounty of six billion to buy the Cosmic Spirit Orb.
How many are six billion cosmic currency? can be compared with Rocket's previous behavior, Nebula's wanted amount in the Universe Alliance is probably less than one million, which is enough for Rocket to fight her on Scienta Star, and even think about how to retire after getting this money.
And one million cosmic currency, you can ask Yongdu to take all his subordinates to hunt down and kill the Guardians of the Galaxy, which is hundreds of people acting together, with an average of more than 10,000 people.
The purchasing power of this universal currency is much higher than that of the US dollar and the British pound on Earth.
From this, it can be deduced how rich this collector Tiffan really is. Tony is also a billionaire, the Black Panther owns nothing more than a quake gold mine, and Tiffan owns several planets and even transforms the corpse of a giant ancient creature into a mine and a black market trading center.
Through several space jumps, the Milan came to the "unknowable land" of the Tiffan Group. From a distance, it was a corpse as large as a planet, and the shape of the skull and torso could be seen.
The Tiffan Group discovered the remains of this ancient life and transformed the body into a habitable planet. While excavating this ancient remains, the place was transformed into a cosmic black market trading market.
This is something that only Tiffan Group can do with such a big deal of money.
Rorschach naturally came to this unknowable place not to sell the Power Gem, but to get the information he wanted through Tiffan, a well-known collector in the universe.
It's just that I didn't expect that the first step to see Tiffan was stopped outside.
A red-skinned maid from Sandastar, after hearing Rorschach's request to see Tivan, asked very formulaically: "Do you have an appointment?" ”
Rorschach rightly replied no.
Then, there is no then.
The maid said bluntly, "I'm sorry about that, but please come back." ”
Hearing this, Rorschach turned to Groot and said, "Lend your head...... No, I borrowed your arm. ”
Groot looked at Rorschach strangely, but said "I'm Groot" and tore off one of his arms and handed it to Rorschach.
Rorschach took the treeman's arm, handed it to the maid, and said, "Show it to Tiffan, he should be interested in meeting us." ”
The red-skinned maid grabbed the arm in disgust, then turned and ran inside. At this time, Drakas, who had been successfully "persuaded" by Rorschach and joined this temporary group, asked Groot in surprise: "Won't you be in pain?" ”
"I'm Groot."
"No, I'm asking if you're going to be in pain, not what your name is."
"I'm Groot."
"I said, I'm asking if you're going to be in pain, can't you hear what I'm saying?"
"I'm Groot."
"Let me change the question, if your arm can keep growing, can you keep eating yourself and won't go hungry?
"I'm Groot."
"Is there a problem with this tree man's IQ?" Dracas, at last, couldn't help but ask.
As a result, before Tiffan could wait, Drakas and Groot had a fight at the door of the Tiffan Group. Then the rocket quickly joined the fight, giving Dracas a shuttle bullet and a string of sparks on him.
Dracas, but he gets Star-Lord involved, as he throws a rocket in Star-Lord's face, and the little raccoon gives Star-Lord a whirlwind kick in the nose and leg, causing him to bleed from his nose.
Xingyun watched this group of people make a mess and couldn't help but ask Rorschach again, "I really don't understand what is the point of you taking them with me?" In the face of Ronan, they are not even cannon fodder, they will only do bad things. ”
"It's very happy, you don't have a straight face all day long, you look okay, I guess you are still a peerless beauty in the eyes of those Smurfs of the Krees." Rorschach teased.
Of course, it's only for the Crees, and Rorschach is face blind to this kind of non-human alien alien girl, and can only be distinguished by color. If they had met red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, Rorschach would definitely suggest that they form a rainbow team.
As he was passing the time in such a thought, he saw the red-skinned maid come out again, make an inviting gesture to Rorschach, and say, "Please come with me, Mr. Tiffan would like to see you." But ......"
The maid looked at the four oddly shaped creatures in a mess, and seemed a little hesitant to let them in.
Rorschach hurriedly clapped his hands and said, "Stop, let's take the tape on the bleeding ourselves, let's go to see the richest man in the universe now, be in good spirits." ”
Hearing the stop, the most honest Groot stopped first; Hearing the word bloodshed, Dracas, also quieted down, and he didn't want to fight to the death here; Finally, after hearing the title of the richest man in the universe, Star-Lord and Rocket put away their guns.
The group followed the maid and soon entered the interior of the Tiffan Group, where they met the collector, Mr. Tiffan.
It's no different from the look in the movie, but Rorschach feels a little strange, because the Tiffan in front of him makes him feel lifeless. Even though his sissy expression and movements were vivid, Rorschach felt like a corpse.
As soon as Tiffan saw Groot, he couldn't wait to walk over and take a closer look.
"What the hell are you?" Tiffan said as he looked at Groot with the eyes of a man seeing a sexy beauty.
"I'm Groot." The tree man replied honestly that there was no other meaning in this sentence.
"Mr. Groot, allow me to pay to collect your body, after you are dead, of course." Tiffan said with fascination.
"Collecting his corpse? Are you going to make him a chair? Rocket complained.
As if feeling offended, Tiffan glanced at Rocket with disdain, and said, "This little pet is quite cute." ”
This sentence was so angry that the rocket was about to pull out a gun and blast Tiffan's head out of dozens of holes.
At this time, Rorschach said to Tiffan: "Why a corpse, it should be very simple for you to want a specimen of Groot." Groot, you should be able to make a body that looks exactly like you, right? ”
Rorschach's second sentence was addressed to Groot.
Groot nodded, and continued to respond with the same timeless dialogue. But then, he grew rapidly, starting with his right hand, and the woody roots began to grow tangled, and then he became another identical body, like two tree men holding hands.
Groot's roots, like human hair, can grow continuously, and the pain is less noticeable when cut off. Of course, two bodies that look exactly the same are actually only one will, and when cut off, the other body is just a specially shaped stump.
"Look, isn't this exactly like Groot. But how much money is Mr. Tiffan willing to spend on this body? Rorschach asked.
It's just that he didn't expect it, but Tiffan shook his head and said, "I'm passionate about collecting any species in the world, whether dead or alive." But the created Treant Body was not a complete species at all, just a pile of hair or fingernails from Groot. ”
Rorschach was a little disappointed, he thought he could still make a deal with Tiffan in this way, but now it seems that he can't do it. But unexpectedly, Tifan turned his head and looked at Rorschach carefully, and then said in surprise: "I didn't expect that I also had a time when I looked away." This is Mr. Rorschach, could you please make it one of my collections? ”
