"Guys, what's next is a series of jumps. Who hasn't been to space before?"

The Rockets turned to look at Captain America and his teammates.

Captain America, Natasha, and Bucky all raised their hands at the same time...

"OK, I hope you don't throw up in my spaceship..."

"Fuck, when did it become your spaceship again?"

"Peter, don't interrupt when the elders are speaking."

"Shit, that damn rabbit!"

Seeing that Captain America: Civil War seemed a little nervous, Lin Xu handed them three boxes.

"What, is there another new gift?"

"No, this is for your vomit..."

"..."

After a series of jumps lasting three Earth hours, we arrived at Sakaar.

On the spaceship, including the three who were still in shock, they all looked up at the planet so close to them, and everyone was stunned by the scene before them.

A planet roughly the size of Earth, surrounded by thousands of wormholes of varying sizes, from which countless pieces of space debris emerge and are then captured by Sakaar's gravity.

Rocket looked at the planets ahead, his expression filled with excitement. Those weren't just space junk; they were treasures!

"Guys, we're in the Tayo Star System within the Fornax System. According to the Ravagers, Sakaar was originally ruled by Anmo, but it suddenly changed hands a thousand Saka years ago." (Anmo: Red King's father, from the 2006 film *The Incredible Hulk *)

Rocket looked at the documents and read them aloud absentmindedly.

"As for the current ruler, he is rumored to be named the Grandmaster, the brother of the Collector the Knowhere. His exact strength is unknown, but from a thousand years ago to the present, very few people have been able to leave this place alive."

Has it been discovered?

"Based on the signal wave data, we have not been detected yet."

"That's good. Rocket, you take them and hide. I'll go down and scout things out."

The Grandmaster's exact strength is still uncertain. Although it wasn't shown at all in the movie, Lin Xu will not forget the anomalies in this universe.

Ancient One is an old man now, so he wouldn't be surprised if she changed.

"OK!"

Upon hearing Lin Xu's words, Rockets quickly agreed, as they had been worried about not having enough freedom.

Looking at the space debris covering the entire planet, tears welled up in his eyes, and it seemed like time for Taobao shopping would follow.

Steve stepped forward. "Lin, be careful."

"Relax, I'll go check first. You should think about how you'll take Banner away if I can't beat the Grandmaster."

With that, Lin Xu instantly teleported to a wormhole near Sakaar City.

He stored his magical artifacts into Sub-Dimension, then closed his eyes and fell straight down.

Bang~

"Pah! I should have controlled the landing point. What kind of garbage is this?"

Lin Xu stood up, smelled the burnt circuit board odor in the air, and patted the dust off his clothes.

Just then, a building next to a garbage mountain not far away suddenly separated, and a room-sized flying vehicle appeared in front of him.

The aircraft door opened, and a group of oddly shaped people walked out.

"Hey, are you a soldier? Or food?"

"Can't I be a mage?"

"It looks like food. It has tender skin and looks delicious."

"Damn, ineffective communication."

Seeing the group of people rushing towards him, Lin Xu originally planned to use his fists, but when he saw that they were covered in some unknown paint, he hesitated to do it.

He then pulled out a section of channel steel from the nearby pile of garbage and nodded in satisfaction.

"Hmph, you look down on mages? Today I'll show you what a melee mage is like!"

Bang~ Bang~ Bang~

He wielded the section of channel steel with incredible skill, sending everyone flying in no time. Of course, some were too fast and disintegrated before they could even fly off.

Only the leader who had just asked the question remained.

Thump~

"Spare me! I'm willing to be your slave, please let me go! Oh, right, I have food, I still have food..."

Lin Xu kicked him away, looked around, and saw neither the Valkyrie's spaceship nor the presence of the Asgardians nearby.

It seems that drunkard is still drinking in Sakaar City.

"Hey, tell me more about the soldier you just mentioned..."

Two hours later.

At the registration desk of the inner city arena, Lin Xu stood alone at the window, surrounded by a group of people pointing and whispering, while the clerk inside was fast asleep.

Knock knock~

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"Sign up!"

The clerk looked at Lin Xu as if he had seen a ghost.

Are you sure?

"Yes, I'm sure."

The clerk was overjoyed. He had been doing this job for over ten years, but had been drawing a salary without working. Today, he finally made a sale.

Although Sakaar is enthusiastic about gladiatorial combat, it's just an industry. The gladiators all come from wormholes in space, sent there by hunters. The people here never participate on their own.

Because no matter how many times you win, there will always be a day when you are killed.

Take, for example, the previous undefeated general, Anmo Adam. Even though he won in the arena for over a hundred years, he still couldn't defeat the new Hulk and was mercilessly crushed to death.

"How much?"

"50,000 Sakaaran currency."

Is it okay if I don't have money?

"That won't do."

The clerk quickly shook his head, took a card from the drawer, and handed it to Lin Xu.

"You deserve it. By the way, have something good to eat tonight, and come back here tomorrow. I'll take you to the basic competition."

Lin Xu took the card, somewhat stunned. Turns out, it wasn't paying to register, it was collecting money...

Aren't you afraid that someone will take the money and not show up?

"You can give it a try!"

What will the outcome be?

Many of the gladiatorial arena slaves longed for their freedom.

A glint of anticipation flashed in Lin Xu's eyes. "So, if I don't come tomorrow, they'll hunt me down?"

"That's right, Saka may be chaotic, but that's chaos at the lower levels. The arena and the money belong to the Grandmaster; no one dares to challenge Him!"

"Haha, that's wonderful!"

Upon hearing the clerk's words, Lin Xu was overjoyed. What was he here for? Wasn't it to meet these experienced experts? What's so fun about one-on-one combat? A cat-and-mouse game is much more exciting.

"What did you say?"

"Ahem, what I mean is, seeing how orderly you all are makes me feel much more at ease."

"Okay, go ahead, remember to report for duty tomorrow."

"No problem!"

Lin Xu took the card and walked out of the building.

Looking at the tallest building in front of me, with the Hulk logo hanging at the top, I felt very happy.

I found a decent-looking restaurant nearby, glanced at the menu, and the most expensive dish was only 80 Sakaaran currency.

It seems that 50,000 yuan is quite valuable.

"Bring out all your signature dishes, I'm loaded!"

When Lin Xu took out the exclusive card for the Free Gladiator, everyone in the restaurant turned to look at him.

Ignoring the stares of the crowd, Lin Xu walked straight to a corner of the hall and sat down. At the next table was a drunken woman who kept chugging alcohol.
