Chapter 258: The Collector

A group of Space Marines did not wear helmets or carry heavy weapons, but wore a plain gray-black burqa with a hood over the power armor, and did something better than nothing, and then followed the warband leader into the void.

Three people were left inside the Thunderhawk gunboat.

The Void is very lively, with bars, casinos, restaurants, strip parlors and other entertainment facilities, as well as pawnshops, banks, auction houses and currency exchange points.

The group walked into the void, and this group of burly, sonorous, silent and murderous giants immediately attracted the attention of the people here as soon as they stepped on the central street. The outlaws who wander on the verge of life and death all the year round are the most sensitive to things like "momentum" and "killing intent".

Naturally, there is an air circulation device that maintains a constant temperature and humidity in the Void Land, but the moment the door is opened, the air temperature seems to have dropped by a few degrees, and people of all races who are sitting on the side of the street while eating and drinking while bragging and farting seem to feel something and turn their heads to look at it.

Fu Qinghai turned his head and looked around.

He saw the stronghold of the Order Alliance.

A building with a lot of space.

But instead of entering the building immediately, he raised his hand and pointed to the lively bar next to him, and strode in with his men.

Fu Qinghai wanted to find out some news by himself, although the Order Alliance had frequently courted him, and he had indeed been fighting with the Order Alliance recently, but he didn't want to rely too much on the information channels of the Order Alliance, let alone let the Order Alliance become his only source of information.

At this time, next to a roadside stall selling barbecue Fusaki on the side of the street, a poor boy in thin clothes, holding a black skewer in his hand, looked at the Star Marines who walked into the bar one after another, and his eyes couldn't help but show a look of envy.

"They look amazing."

The young man pulled his mouth and sighed:

"When am I going to get that strong."

The Space Marine's blaster pistol and fighting dagger were covered under the wide cloak, revealing no hideous and terrifying weaponry, but the indomitable ferocity alone was enough to make the poor boy fascinated.

"Cut ......"

There was a disdainful snort from the side.

An old man who was drunk and dirty and half-leaning on the ground opened his eyes and glanced at them when he heard this, then shook his head contemptuously and closed his eyes again, and said lightly:

"I'll ask you, boy."

"What?"

The boy turned his head.

"The guys you saw ......"

The old man closed his eyes and asked lazily:

"Is their skin blue?"

"It's not."

The boy shook his head.

"Do they have feathers on the top of their heads?"

"Nope."

The boy then shook his head.

"Is their face green, and their chin still folded?"

"It's not."

The boy continued to shake his head.

"Haha."

The old man shook his head and smiled:

"Then these people are nothing."

"Why?"

The boy was puzzled.

"Are they very good at fighting? Will it be useful to hit a fart? When you come out to mix, you must have power and background. If it's not the Kree, it's not the Xia, it's not the Skrull, then they're not part of any of the great powers in the galaxy. ”

The old man smiled and said:

"No matter how powerful it is, it's just a little deflated."

……

Inside the bar.

Fu Qinghai and the others walked to the bar, and the people sitting scattered at the bar immediately gave way to their seats and moved to other places, and Fu Qinghai just picked up the drink list, and the bar door was pushed open.

"Aoyama Khan."

Someone shouted.

Fu Qinghai turned his head to look.

It was someone he didn't know.

The man saw Fu Qinghai's face, confirmed that the news was correct, and immediately stepped forward and respectfully introduced:

"Hello, Aoyama Khan, I'm the head of the Order Alliance in the Void, and my name is Hodge."

"Hello, Hodge."

Fu Qinghai nodded.

"Can I invite you to the Order Alliance?"

Hodge said with a slight bow.

"Tsk...... Okay. ”

Fu Qinghai smiled helplessly.

The reaction speed of the Order Alliance was too fast, Fu Qinghai thought that he would have time to get a glass of wine, but not long after entering the Void Land, he was discovered by them.

……

Order Alliance Stronghold Building.

In a private and secluded reception room.

Hodge poured a few glasses of wine:

"I wonder why you are here this time?"

"What else can happen, a big event in the plot line."

Fu Qinghai took a sip of wine and said lightly.

"Uh, this natural ......"

Hodge smiled awkwardly, then asked:

"I mean, what about anything else?"

"I didn't use the reincarnation beacon to come to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and you don't have to over-interpret or think about anything. But there's really something I want to inquire about lately.,Does the Order Alliance have magical affinity-type metals? ”

Fu Qinghai didn't hide it either.

Straight to the point.

"Magic-affinity metal."

Hodge repeats the word:

"Similar to Mithril in the Lord of the Rings Universe?"

"Not too much."

Fu Qinghai nodded and added:

"It's not just magic affinity, it's not enough to have the attribute of 'magic affinity', it also needs to be hard enough."

Fu Qinghai was not going to build a magic staff, but a set of power armor, so some magically friendly but soft materials were not in his consideration.

"I'm sorry I can't accommodate your needs."

After listening to the request, Hodge said apologetically:

"You also know that the Order Alliance does not do cross-border trade, and the magic affinity metal produced in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as far as I know, there is only one kind of Uru metal, which is after all the material for building Myornir, which is too powerful and too rare and rare, and it is far beyond our ability."

"I understand."

Fu Qinghai nodded.

Hodge's so-called "Order Alliance does not do cross-border trade" does not mean that the Order Alliance will not auction things from other reincarnation worlds, but it means that the Order Alliance strongholds in this universe will only sell things purchased in this universe, and will not get things from one universe to sell in another universe - because this "cross-border trade" requires assimilation points, which will add additional costs, and the Order Alliance usually only lets the players who come to trade bear this cost.

"I have a suggestion though."

Hodge said suddenly.

"What advice?"

"The famous High Magic Reincarnation World, the World of Warcraft universe and the Dungeons & Dragons universe all produce various magical affinity minerals. The Zero Guild has recently established a base in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and you might want to check it out, maybe they have some magic-friendly metal in their hands. ”

Hodge gives his advice.

"Oh? Does the Zero Guild have a stronghold? Where is it? ”

Fu Qinghai was really interested after hearing this.

"They are not ambitious, and their stronghold is not on Earth."

Hodge smiled and said:

"And in Xander."

Xandar Star?

Fu Qinghai recalled it in his mind:

"Nova Legion's territory?"

"Yes, there it is."

Hodge nodded.

"Okay, I got it."

Fu Qinghai said that he understood.

Suddenly he realized something:

"Wait, you mentioned the 'Dungeons & Dragons Universe' just now, right...... Why, a society as big as the fifth dimension, known as the 'No. 1 Society in the Reincarnation World', didn't they establish a foothold in the Marvel Cinematic Universe? ”

"They have it too."

Hodge smiled and explained:

"But as far as I've heard, your relationship with the Fifth Dimension isn't very good, at least not as good as the Zero Realm Guild, so I didn't suggest you go to the Fifth Dimension's stronghold."

"Hmph."

Fu Qinghai smiled and didn't say anything.

Thought: Abel Sheen......

"Let's talk about the big events in the plot line."

Fu Qinghai changed the topic and said:

"I want to know, what stage of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is this time, not to mention which specific plot line event, can you tell me what year, month, and day?"

"You are a VIP customer of the Order Alliance, you can know this information by asking around the bar casually, of course we will tell you truthfully, not only what year, month, and day, but even I can clearly inform you now, the major events of the plot line at this stage are."

Hodge was very sure of authenticity.

"Oh? So sure? ”

Fu Qinghai raised his eyebrows and said in surprise.

"Pretty sure."

Hodge nodded affirmatively again:

"There are so many people who have seen the movie."

Indeed, the influence of the MCU is all over the world, and it is not at all comparable to an unpopular niche IP like Warhammer 40K, and players can easily deduce the major events of the plot line by simply inquiring about a random time or seeing some clues.

"In that case......

Fu Qinghai took a sip of wine and thought about it.

The major plot event is "Ragnarok", which is not an ordinary plot line event, it marks the imminent end of Odin - the death of a Heavenly Father-level boss, and also marks the complete fall of Asgard - from now on, there will be no Asgard in the Nine Realms system. As a result, in the end, Thor had to lead the surviving Asgardian refugees to settle in Norway with his family, and the "Asgard" has since become a tourist attraction.

And their own faction options......

It happens to be the "Asgardian camp".

"Tsk......"

Fu Qinghai couldn't help frowning.

Now it's a little harder.

In the past, being randomly placed in the camp of decency often meant a camp of lying down to win—because it is a universal value for the world that good will eventually triumph over evil, but now, Asgard is almost doomed to destruction—Odin himself admits that Thor has dreamed of it, and even the flame giant Tersul has said it explicitly...... It's as if everyone in the entire Nine Realms knows that Ragnarok is coming, and it's completely inevitable.

The prophecy of "Ragnarok" ......

Isn't it really possible to change it?

Fu Qinghai's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

Putting aside the prophecy of these gods and gods, objectively and rationally analyze from the comparison of strength, according to the plot in the movie, the king of the gods, Odin, just died on the front foot, and the goddess of death, Hela, broke the seal on the back foot and came to the earth, beating his two younger brothers, and crushing the hammer of Thor, Mjernir...... In the end, Loki and Thor are forced to summon the Rainbow Bridge to escape.

According to the setting in the movie, as long as Hela is in Asgard, her strength will continue to rise until she reaches the level of Odin, so no matter how Thor explodes and how she awakens, they cannot be Hela's opponents, and there is only one way to defeat Hela - destroy Asgard and make the enemy lose the source of strength by blowing up their own base.

That's fucked up.

How does this make Lao Tzu win?

This is a losing camp!

Thinking of this, Fu Qinghai couldn't help but feel distressed.

Hela, does she eat the damage of orbital bombing?

I really want to try it, but if the orbital bombing runs out of seconds, she will be dismantled by this crazy woman with her backhand, which is just stealing chickens and rice, and the gains outweigh the losses.

You can't always think of relying on orbital bombing to solve everything simply and rudely, and it seems that this major plot line event has to be considered in the long run...... Fu Qinghai thought to himself.

"I want to know all about Asgard."

Fu Qinghai raised his head and looked at Hodge:

"A setting in the Marvel Cinematic Universe."

"Of course, as you wish."

Hodge seemed to have been waiting for his words for a long time.

After taking a sip of wine, he cleared his throat and said:

"Asgard is an extradimensional planetary body, its surface area is about the same size as that of the North American continent, and its physical properties are different from ordinary planets. Asgard is not a sphere like the Earth or the Moon, but a relatively flat, star-like continental plate suspended in space. Asgard does not revolve around some central axis, nor does it revolve around the sun. Asgard has a day/night interval, and even though it does not rotate, the duration of day and night is currently unknown. ”

"There is currently no evidence of a change in the seasons in Asgard, and it is unclear what the source of its light and heat is. Unlike Earth, Asgard's gravitational pull radiates from a point or object beneath a suspended continent. Thus, Asgard has a top that can stand on and a bottom that cannot stand. If you stand on the border of the Asgardian continent, you can jump down into the Endless Void. ”

"Apparently there is some kind of force that prevents the erosion of the bottom and edges of the continent of Asgard, whatever that force may be, and also prevents the flow of water bodies on certain borders of Asgard into the Void, and also prevents the atmospheric escape of Asgardri. Asgard is described as floating on the 'sea of space', which is supposed to have a surface on which Asgardian ships, similar to Viking longships, can sail. The exact nature of the Asgardian dimension remains unknown. ”

In addition, although the gravity of Asgard is about the same as that of the Earth, the average density of ordinary matter is greater than that of the Earth, and I don't know why. I'll give you an example, a chair made of Asgardian wood is stiffer and heavier than a chair made of wood on Earth. Not only that, but rocks, rivers, muscles, bones, feces – all of these substances are denser than the earth. ”

Hodge clearly knows the Marvel Cinematic Universe very well.

There is no need to call in a professional.

I introduced a large section of it with great enthusiasm.

"I see."

Fu Qinghai summed it up and said:

"The so-called 'gods' and 'gods' in the Nine Realms system, whether it is the Asgardian gods or the Warheim gods, are actually a group of alien humans who live in a high-density environment and have mastered extraordinary magical powers, right?"

"It can be understood that way."

Hodge said, with a chin bowed.

"Thank you for your patience in detail, Mr. Hodge, though ...... There is not a lot of valid information. ”

Fu Qinghai finally said politely.

"It's up to you to judge whether the information is valid or not, and I can only tell you everything I know."

Hodge said with a disapproving smile.

After chatting about the two most important things, "Magic Affinity Metal" and "Plot Line Events", Fu Qinghai felt that he had nothing to want to know, so he picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

Hodge was very good at observing words and feelings, and when he saw this look, he knew that the business was almost over, so he coughed lightly, rubbed his hands, and said after considering the words:

"That, Aoyama-sama......"

"What's wrong?"

Fu Qinghai raised his head.

"I have a reluctant request."

Hodge was a little embarrassed.

"You say."

Fu Qinghai waved his hand.

"After answering your question, I actually have a question for this...... It's like, I just want to know, that weapon of yours...... That's the one, the weapon that can blow up an entire planet with a single shot, did you bring it this time? ”

Hodge asked cautiously, rubbing his hands.

Fu Qinghai raised his eyebrows when he heard this:

"Guess?"

The warband had only two Torpedoes: a bipolar Tornado and an atmospheric incineration torpedo. It was given when the army was divided into two regiments, and both of them have been used. If you want to get a Tornado Torpedo, you have to apply for it from Terra. Not to mention whether you can apply for it or not, now that the Iron Float Warrior Group is still trapped in the subspace storm, how can you have the leisure to think about these things and not...... But no matter what, how could Fu Qinghai casually reveal the details of the super killing weapon of the Extinction Order Weapon? Besides, is this a question you should ask?

Fu Qinghai's expression was very ugly.

As soon as his face fell, all the Space Marines present who were silently drinking immediately put down the wine glasses in their hands, and all turned their heads to look at Hodge, who instantly felt that he was being targeted by a group of fierce beasts, and the hairs on his neck stood up in an instant.

"My fault, my fault."

Hodge hurriedly raised his hands:

"No offense, no intention to probe your combat readiness, I just want to say...... If you want to drop that kind of weapon in this universe, can you let me know in advance, I'm afraid that the staff of the Order Alliance on other planets will be affected, and we have a wide layout in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and a lot of people. ”

"It depends."

Fu Qinghai pursed his lips and said perfunctorily.

How is it possible to enforce an extermination order without prior notice to you? Are you the Inquisition Court or the Ministry of Military Affairs? The timing on the battlefield is fleeting, so what should you do if you miss a fighter? It's a fool's dream, telling some.

At most, Fu Qinghai can guarantee:

Do not throw tornado torpedoes at Order Alliance strongholds.

"Anyway, you can establish a base here......"

Fu Qinghai took the initiative to change the topic:

"What is your relationship with collectors?"

"Very good working relationship."

Hodge said with a hint of smugness:

"As you can guess, our main business scope and collectors' personal hobbies overlap a lot, so we hit it off, we provide him with rare objects from other reincarnation worlds, he provides us with a building in the Void as a stronghold, and by the way, he also provides us with shelter - after all, there is a certain risk of doing business here, and the reincarnators will give face to the Order Alliance, but these local natives will not give it, and sometimes they have to rely on collectors to cover it."

Hodge was very honest.

"Hmm."

Fu Qinghai hummed and asked:

"The Infinity Stone?"

"You said the Reality Gem Aether Particle, right?"

Hodge knew what Fu Qinghai wanted to ask:

"After we reminded him, the collector has already taken off the gem, the buyer is unknown, it may be one of the three major cosmic empires, we have clearly told the collector that he can't grasp this thing."

The Order Alliance was smart enough to warn the collectors in advance that Thanos might bring someone to the door in the future to rob the Infinity Stones, so he threw out this hot potato very early, so that the Order Alliance also avoided being affected.

"Would you be interested in getting to know him?"

Hodge asked with a smile.

"Collectors? Okay, let's get a recommendation. ”

Fu Qinghai said casually.

Hodge went out and made a phone call.

It didn't take long for a scruffy, drunk, white-haired old man to walk into the room, followed by two red-skinned alien beauties. He took off the dirty coat on his body casually and handed it to his entourage, then changed into a snow-white fur coat, restored the classic dress in the movie, sat down in front of Fu Qinghai, and crossed Erlang's legs.

Hey?

Fu Qinghai felt a little familiar.

This white-haired old man......

Isn't that the beggar lying in the doorway?
