Entering Sakaar City

Sure enough, the next morning, when Xia Yu woke up and went out, he saw dozens of scavengers carrying weapons, marching towards him in a large group. Xia Yu had no interest in wasting time talking to them.

To Tate's astonishment, Xia Yu dispatched dozens of scavengers with a single palm strike, even blasting their weapons into fragments.

However, this also gave Tate even more confidence that Xia Yu could take him away from Sakaar.

After killing so many scavengers, the next two days were peaceful, and Xia Yu's injuries finally fully recovered.

"Thor, when will you be able to get here?"

Xia Yu dialed Thor's number; he had successfully reunited with Star-Lord and the others.

Before Thor could speak, Rocket snatched the phone away.

"Xia, you'll have to wait a few more days. After seeing Thor's strength, that idiot Star-Lord took on another mission to deal with monsters from another dimension. I checked the distance; we should be able to get there in about seven days."

Well, it seems Thor has been used as a money-making tool by Star-Lord and his crew.

Seven days it is. Anyway, Xia Yu has recovered from his injuries. Fearing that Thor would worry, Xia Yu comforted Thor a few times and explained that his injuries had healed.

This completely put Thor's mind at ease. As long as he had recovered, he still believed in his older brother's strength.

Sakaar City is the only city on Sakaar, and the only place with civilization.

This is the entertainment city that the Grandmaster has been building for countless years.

In this city, everyone works for the Grandmaster; in fact, everyone on this planet works for him.

Even the scavengers outside, whatever they find that can be used, as long as it can be exchanged for any resources, will be regularly patrolled and purchased by the Grandmaster's subordinates, using only a little bit of food and water.

In this city, all the businesses belong to the Grandmaster.

For countless years, this place has been a gathering place for many desperate people or criminals from all over the universe.

By paying a certain amount of resources, one can gain the opportunity to live in Sakaar City.

Of course, there are also many lone wolves or pirate crews, like Rocket, who, after becoming wealthy, choose to come here for entertainment or to trade for what they need in the Sakaar market.

The Grandmaster's vast network of processing plants on Sakaar further processed all the reusable resources recovered from the planet, exchanging them with outsiders. This was Sakaar's most important channel for achieving self-sufficiency.

Sakaar City has no city walls, only a large number of guards on the city's perimeter. Scavengers, the lowest class of people on Sakaar, are killed on the spot if they are found entering the city without permission.

The Grandmaster here is just like the one in the movie—hypocritical and pretentious. On this planet made up of garbage, the Grandmaster needs a huge number of scavengers to clean up the trash for him and provide him with some resources to reprocess.

But he also loathed these filthy and ugly people.

They were only willing to offer a small amount of food and water in exchange for the resources they needed, and otherwise ignored them. It could be said that the current situation of the scavengers was also caused by the Grandmaster Venerable.

Sakaar City has all the entertainment facilities found in the universe, including casinos, brothels, hotels, and more.

However, this place does not recognize a universally accepted currency, and its economic system is manipulated by the Grandmaster, using a currency called Glory Points.

Any transaction you make here will bring Grandmaster a certain profit. He thinks this is an honor for consumers, so he gave it such a cringeworthy name.

Xia Yu certainly didn't have this currency, and neither could Tate.

However, Xia Yu carries a large amount of resources, and in this city, he can convert your resources into a special currency at the fastest speed.

Because every street, every hotel, and every casino here has a place where resources can be exchanged for currency.

In every city that primarily focuses on tourism and entertainment, there exists a group of people who rely on running errands or providing other services for their bosses.

Sakaar is no exception.

Xia Yu and Tate had barely entered the city when someone approached them.

"Hello, welcome to Sakaar. If this is your first time here, I think you'll really need a qualified guide. After all, this is Sakaar, unlike other places in the universe. I only need to charge you a small fee."

A man appeared in front of Xia Yu. He glanced curiously at Tate, who was following Xia Yu with a timid expression, as if wondering why the child was dressed like a scavenger.

But he quickly shifted his gaze; it was none of his business. Xia Yu beside him looked like he was here for the first time, and as long as he had business to do, that was enough for him.

Xia Yu felt a strong sense of familiarity.

In my past life, when I traveled to certain tourist cities, local guides would offer themselves as tour guides. The guide fee was negligible; the main thing was the kickbacks from taking me to various places to spend money.

Moreover, the man in front of him was no different from an Earthling; he still had black hair and black eyes.

Xia Yu smiled and patted Tate's hair, signaling him not to be too nervous.

"Okay, this is indeed my first time on Sakaar. What's your name?"

"You can call me Hayden, sir. I guess you've just disembarked from the spaceship. Are you here to trade or to sightsee? Should I find you a place to stay?"

People like Hayden usually have a very sharp eye; they can tell at a glance whether someone is here for the first time or not—it's a survival skill for them.

"Find me a hotel first, the most luxurious kind. I need the best suite. Remember, the best. If it's even slightly subpar, I'll smash your head in."

Xia Yu displayed the demeanor of a spoiled brat, casually tapping Hayden on the head.

Hayden nodded and chuckled repeatedly, indicating that a very wealthy person had arrived.

Led by Hayden, Xia Yu first went to a shop that specializes in recycling resources. According to Hayden, the prices there were more favorable than those in the hotel.

Xia Yu knew, of course, that Hayden was getting a lot of kickbacks here, but it didn't matter. He was only staying for a few days anyway, and Xia Yu was planning to rip off Grandmaster later.

Sakaar has no resources of its own, so the things it recycles are all kinds of things. The recycling shops are more like pawn shops; no matter what you bring in, they can appraise it and give you a price.

Xia Yu was too lazy to exchange a lot of weapons or other resources for currency, so he directly took out the energy exported from the Tesseract and stored it in an energy storage device modified by Tony and Shuri. It was about the size of a lighter. Dr. Pym was amazed by this small base when he was at the base last time.

What Xia Yu took out were all storage devices containing the energy of the Tesseract; Xia Yu took out a total of five hundred of these storage devices.
