646 disappointed
Instead of agreeing to the collector's offer, Groot was shocked by the price offered by Tiphon, to the point of disbelief.
He couldn't have imagined that his body was so valuable!
5 million!
That's enough to buy several small ships like the Thor!
With a stirring in his heart, Tree Groot almost blurted out and agreed. At this critical juncture, he still looked to his most reliable good partner, Rocket Raccoon, and was ready to listen to his opinion.
Rocket Raccoon shook his head to sober himself up from the shock and asked, "5 million?" Is it really just to sell you ownership of this body after his death? ”
"Of course!" Tipon replied, "I pay in advance!" ”
"Then how do I know if you will pay or not, and kill him immediately!" Rocket Raccoon said cautiously.
Tiphon didn't raise his head, but circled around the tree Groot, and replied without care, "I want to kill you, I can do it at any time." ”
This meaning is obvious, that is, if he wants to kill someone, he can do it at any time, so why bother to spend this unjust money.
"I'm ...... Groot! Tree Groot said.
He said it to Rocket Raccoon, saying he agreed to the deal.
Lei Rui couldn't help but wonder, he didn't expect this tree Groot, who looked so honest, to be so open-minded about money, and sold himself in the blink of an eye.
Rocket Raccoon turned around and glared at Tree Groot, apparently blaming him for agreeing too quickly and depriving him of a chance to raise the price.
Ti Feng didn't look at the communication between the two of them at all, and said directly: "I know you still want to increase the price, so let's do it, 6 million!" ”
"Deal!" Rocket Raccoon immediately agreed!
Next to the two, Gamora, Star-Lord Quill, and Thor all looked confused. Everyone came to this place for the cosmic sphere, not to sell the Treant Groot!
Kamora stopped with a loud voice, "Rocket, that's not a good idea!" You and Groot can't do that. ”
"Why not?" "When he dies, he's just a dead tree, and when he's alive, he can sell his body for a good price, why not!" ”
Gamora was completely speechless.
As soon as Tiphon beckoned, someone came over and took Rocket Raccoon and Treant Groot to sign a contract to sell themselves. Tiphon sighed contentedly, took his attention away from Groot the Treant and landed on Gamora, glanced at Thor by the way, and said, "Gamora, what did you bring me this time?" ”
"A cosmic sphere!" Gamora replied bluntly, "Ronan has always wanted it!" ”
"Good! Show me! Tiphon said.
Ronan's name, he didn't even feel like he had heard it, and he didn't react at all.
Lei Rui took out the silver orb from his body and handed it to Tiphon under the watchful eyes of Star-Lord Quill and Thor.
Tiphon took the silver sphere, weighed it in his hand, and replied, "Recently, there have been more and more such cosmic spheres, but not every one of them has what I want!" Let me see what is inside this cosmic sphere! ”
Lei Rui's heart was shocked, Star-Lord Quill showed a somewhat confused expression on his face, Thor didn't care, and Gamora was stunned for a moment, and said, "But we've already talked about it......"
"Gamora!" Tiphon interrupted Gamora, "If it's what I want, 4 billion is the price I'm offering." If not, of course it is impossible to use this price code! I'll still give you a fair price! ”
Once again, Gamora had nothing to say.
When discussing business with the collector, the two sides are completely unequal. In Tiphon's eyes, money is not money at all, but just a number. But for Gamora and the others, money is money, and it has a powerful magical power. Even the tree-looking Groot, who looked indifferent, sold the ownership of his body after death to Tiphon at a high price of 6 million!
This kind of thing is a little strange to Star-Lord Quell, who is very eager to make a lot of money. But for Treant Groot and Rocket Raccoon, it's the best deal in the world.
While you are alive, it is of course very cost-effective to be able to sell your body after death for such a high price! As for who owns this body after death, what does it matter?!
Collector Tiphon didn't care how Gamora reacted, and directly took the cosmic sphere and walked to the workbench. As soon as the cosmic sphere was placed, two automatic arms grabbed the cosmic sphere, and a thin green beam of light shot out from the center, pulling the cosmic sphere.
The automatic arm didn't move, but the cosmic sphere began to rotate automatically, opening layer by layer. During the whole process, Lei Rui finally understood why he had not been able to open this cosmic sphere, it was such a small ball, with layers nested inside, and each layer was tightly sealed, and it was not possible to open it by external force at all!
Finally, the entire cosmic sphere was completely opened, but there was nothing inside, empty, not even an ordinary gem.
"What's going on?!" Star-Lord Quill asked, shocked.
No one can answer this question to him. The zombie face of the collector Ti Feng finally showed a little disappointment, and his eyes looked at the empty cosmic sphere in a daze, and said, "You guys...... What a disappointment for me! ”
As soon as the words fell, he straightened up and said expressionlessly: "Gamora, you empty cosmic sphere, I can only give you 1 million for your hard work!" ”
This amount of money is lower than the price of Tivon's posthumous body to buy Tree Groot, and I am afraid that it is just enough energy consumption for two small spaceships.
Lei Rui let out a long breath and walked over, closing the cosmic sphere with both hands and holding it in his hands. Everyone was silent, and Tiphon just glanced at Lei Rui and ignored him.
Gamora was at a loss. For the sake of this cosmic sphere, she defected from Thanos' camp in advance, thinking that she could give Thanos a heavy blow, but it turned out to be such a disappointing ending! Star-Lord Quill was the first to come to his senses, and Thor said to the collector Tivon, "The last time I sent it was also a cosmic sphere, is it also empty?" ”
Hearing this, Tiphon stopped and paused for a moment before turning around and replying, "No." Inside, there's an Infinity Stone. It was the Infinity Stone that your father, Odin, gave me. ”
Thor sighed lightly and continued, "Thanos is collecting the Infinity Stones, so my father, Odin of Asgard, asked me to come here and have a look. ”
"Oh?!" Tiphon said without changing his face, "So, the Infinity Gauntlet I gave to Odin has already fallen into the hands of Thanos?" ”
