A huge head like an asteroid hangs in the starry sky, and the surface of the head has been petrified.

Looking down from outside the planet's orbiting spacecraft. Two black holes were dug out of the two eye sockets of the huge head. Some detection spacecraft kept going back and forth to the interior of the planet through the two holes.

They were collecting the crystallized cerebrospinal fluid from this skull.

It is said that this head-shaped planet is the remains of the corpse of the legendary Celestial Group. It was later discovered by collector Tivan, and this planet became one of his collections.

Thanks to Tivan's collecting quirks, many predators and cosmic mercenaries like to come to this planet to take on missions and want to give Tivan some collections they think are unique.

After all, collectors are notoriously generous.

Although most of them are junk that Tiwan doesn't like, they are extremely valuable to other people. Many businessmen first bought things that Tiwan didn't like here, and then slowly formed

market.

As time goes by, this land of nothingness has become the largest black market in the Southern Galaxy.

"The Collector's reputation is very loud in the galaxy. It is said that he is a member of the Cosmic Elders Council. Although I have never figured out what organization this Cosmic Council of Elders is, few people dare to cause trouble here!

We have entered the city, and there will be no desperadoes like the Gurulu people here."

This is an urban area, and large starships are either parked at the spaceport outside the Land of Nothingness, or parked outside the city.

Therefore, the means of transportation in urban areas are usually flying motorboats or small interplanetary transportation spacecraft.

Star-Lord took a group of card soldiers on a rented airship to the largest street in the city.

Star-Lord and thirteen card soldiers drove at low altitude on the streets full of aircraft,

The messy streets are full of "aliens" of different shapes and looks!

The humanoid mechanical beings whose whole body is covered with mechanical parts look like an advanced version of the Iron Soldier. The huge shoulder cannon carried on the back shines with energy. When passing by them,

The robot seemed a little curious, and its mechanical eyes flashed red and glanced at the silver boxes carried by several card soldiers.

His actions made several card soldiers subconsciously put their hands on their waists, but the robot just glanced at them, then stepped on a flying motorboat with heavy steps and left here.

"Hey, relax, this is the black market street. No one dares to cause trouble here. Those are the Hata tribe. They are one of the few mechanical life forms currently discovered in the galaxy. They are covered with weapons and are very difficult to mess with!"

Star-Lord noticed the vigilance of the card soldiers and explained: "The Hata people usually come to the black market to modify their mechanical bodies, and they generally do not conflict with others!"

The airships and small spaceships that shuttled through this black market street, as well as the "people" who came down from time to time, were an eye-opener for these card soldiers.

In less than ten minutes, Hugh Wade saw a stone man whose whole body seemed to be made of stones, and a hippo man who looked like a hippopotamus wearing armor.

Of course, there are also many aliens like them who are covered in armor and whose appearance is invisible.

However, most of the aliens on the black market look similar to humans. At most, there are some slight differences in skin color, size and size. At most, there are a few more and fewer organs.

Some have tentacles like insect tentacles on their heads, some have one more eye on their foreheads than people on Earth, and some have two more arms than people on Earth, but in general, most of them are humanoid creatures.

Hugh Wade's eyes suddenly focused. A small single-person aircraft landed in front of the roadside store. A man wearing a half-shoulder armor, "dreadlocks" on his head, and a breathing mask got out of the aircraft.

alien.

An acquaintance, Hugh Wade, has seen this alien race, and there is a specimen in the boss's hive laboratory.

"Don't look at him. He is a warrior of the Iron-Blooded clan. They advocate hunting. If you keep staring at them, it will be regarded as a provocation. They will often launch a duel against the provocateur. They are a very difficult race!"

Star-Lord followed Hugh Wade's gaze and noticed the Predator walking into a shop. At the same time, he said strangely:

"But these predators usually play their hunting games on remote planets. It's very strange to see them here. It's really strange to see them here -"

"How far is it from the store you mentioned?" Hugh Wade looked at the Predator's small spaceship parked at the door and didn't say much, but the intelligent system in the armor will come to this planet in the future.

All the scenes were recorded.

After returning to Earth, this information will be compiled into the Tang Group's database.

"It's right in front. Believe me, I have dealt with Old Mande a lot. In the entire black market, he is the most fair in doing business. In addition, he has a wide range of channels and can even get the latest products from the Nova Empire.

Battleship."

Star-Lord was boasting as he led Hugh Wade and others into a street shop.

This store looks no different from the stores on this street. They are both built with stones unique to the land of nothingness, and the exterior is painted gray. Except for the store's plaque, which seems to be made of a piece of armor from a spaceship, it looks like

It looks unremarkable.

Of course, this is a black market street. People who come here to do business often have things on hand or want to buy things that are not legal, and they will not go to stores that are too showy.

"Hey! Old Mande, are you okay?"

Star-Lord pushed the door skillfully and walked into the store. Two energy guns were pointed directly at him from outside the door.

"Oh oh oh, old Mander, it's me, Star-Lord!"

As if hearing a familiar voice, the intelligent robotic arm put back the energy gun in its hand.

"Star-Lord, why are you here again?"

The voice came from inside the store. Star-Lord waved and led Hugh Wade into the store. Other card soldiers were waiting at the door.

This shop looks unremarkable from the outside, but the space inside is very large, almost thirty or forty paces wide. Various types of energy guns, mechanical arms, spacecraft mechanical parts, and some other-looking items are hung on the walls on both sides.

It's an extremely high-tech electronic instrument.

Hugh Wade accompanied Star-Lord as he walked into the store, and soon saw the "Old Mander" whom Star-Lord was talking about, an old-looking rhinoceros man.

Literally speaking, this black marketeer named Lao Mande is an alien with a head similar to that of a rhinoceros on Earth. He wears a pair of tube-shaped glasses on the bridge of his nose. He is holding something similar to a welding gun and repairing a piece of equipment.

Put the electronic components of the energy gun.

"Long time no see, old Mander!"

"How long?!" Old Mande raised his head in surprise, not understanding why he was so crazy. He just left here two days ago and suddenly came back, but Old Mande glanced at Hugh Wade next to Star-Lord.

Now that I understand, it looks like Star-Lord has found another big fat sheep.

They have cooperated not once or twice, but Old Mande seemed to nod his head clearly: "Long time no see, Star-Lord boy, they have been rumoring that you have received a big deal recently!"

Star-Lord took out a box of chewing gum from his pocket, stuffed one into his mouth, chewed it, and gestured with his hands: "It is indeed a big deal, otherwise I wouldn't come to you, sir.

Mander, you have been bragging to me before that you can get the latest battleship of the Nova Empire, is it true?"

"Don't talk about the latest battleship of the Nova Empire. As long as you can spend enough money, even if you want Ronan the Accuser's flagship, I can find a way to get it!" The old rhinoceros man took off his glasses and revealed a pair of squinting eyes.

Although he was talking to Star-Lord, his eyes were looking at Hugh Wade.

"This kind of energy crystal! What's the price?"

Hugh Wade stretched out his hand directly, opened his fist, and in his palm was a piece of energy crystal the size of mahjong, shining with blue light.

It's nothing else, it's the energy crystal condensed by Boss Tang using the space gem.

"Eh? Hiss! Such pure energy crystal!"

Under the triumphant gaze of Star-Lord next to him, Old Mander carefully took the energy crystal from Hugh Wade's hand and observed it carefully.

He took out an instrument from the cabinet on the side and placed the energy crystal on it for testing. Looking at the values ​​displayed on the instrument, Old Mande's small eyes suddenly widened in surprise.

"No, how is that possible? Even the energy crystal produced by the Kree by collecting dark matter has a purity of only over 80%. The purity of this crystal actually exceeds 90%."

Old Mande seemed a little unbelievable. He changed several testing instruments for repeated testing, and then said with a breath of cold air.

"The customer wants to sell this crystal stone. I don't know what you want to exchange for it, Galaxy coins or..."

"A spaceship, the best spaceship, and a systematic collection of scientific and technological information on civilization!" Hugh Wade stated his request.

Old Mande picked up the energy crystal, shook his head and said: "This energy crystal is of high purity and has a certain value, but this piece alone is not worth a high-end spaceship!"

"Who told you that we only took one piece, Old Mander, I told you that this is big business!" Star-Lord said proudly: "Ten of the latest battleships of the Kree and the Nova Empire will be given to us at the same time.

Find a batch of scientific and technological data on the second-level civilization, and make it a systematic one!"

Old Mander looked at Star-Lord, who looked like a nouveau riche, and said: "Boy Star-Lord, this requires a lot of money!"

A minute later, Old Mande looked at the opened silver suitcase in front of him, which was filled with neat stacks of energy crystals the size of mahjong pieces.

Looking at these energy crystals, Old Mander wanted to call the guards directly for a moment, kill Star-Lord and the others, and take all these high-purity energy crystals for himself.

However, Star-Lord's words instantly made Old Mander wake up.

"Old Mande, this is just the beginning. My current employer is a big boss at the level of the overlord of the universe. There will be a steady stream of business in the future!"

Star-Lord doesn't know much about Boss Tang's strength, but that doesn't stop him from using the tiger's skin as a banner.

As soon as his words came out, Old Mande was frightened. The overlord of the universe. In the galaxy, there are only a few people who can be called the overlord of the universe. The most famous one is Thanos.

Could it be that Star-Lord kid has defected to Thanos? But even if he is not Thanos, he will definitely not be able to offend the power that can extract such pure energy crystals.

Old Mande has been doing business in the land of nothingness for so many years, and he has his own set of survival rules. When he judged that the people led by Star-Lord were not easy to mess with, he decisively became a well-behaved businessman.

"It's easy to talk about the technological information of the second-level civilization. I have a complete set on hand, including the Gurulu tribe's systematic spacecraft manufacturing technology, complete energy shields, and naval guns. However, the spacecraft will need to wait for some time."

"Among the scientific and technological information of the Gululu tribe, are there any good ones out there? At least there is a complete spaceship jump technology, or a civilization with artificial wormhole technology!"

When Star-Lord heard Old Mander's words, he looked disgusted. The Grullons were not as good as the Kiritas. Their technology was not even worth a dog.

"Star-Lord, you really dare to think about spaceship jump technology. It is a technology that only second-level advanced civilizations can barely master. There is also artificial wormhole technology. Currently, in the galaxy, only the Kree and the Nova Empire have advanced technology.

I don’t have the core information that only civilized people have!”
