Shi'ar, a human-like intelligent life evolved from birds.
Their body structure is very special. Not only are their bones hollow, but they are also oviparous rather than viviparous.
Most Shi'ar retain some bird characteristics, such as the crest on the head and the remaining feathers on certain parts of the body.
More importantly, Empire founded by Shi'ar is one of the three Rider countries in the universe, alongside Kree Empire and Skrull Empire.
But due to the decline of Skrulls, and the defeat of Kree by Sakura and her subordinate Burning Legion, Shi'ar Empire has become the de facto number one Empire in the universe.
Not only does it have a huge sphere of influence, but it also incorporates a large number of other races, civilizations and cultures into its own Empire.
In terms of technology, they master the "Star Gate" technology that Kree dreams of, which can directly link any two places in the universe.
In addition, there is Star-destroying technology, which allows a star to directly enter the Supernovas evolution period.
To put it simply, it is to directly destroy a star system without dispatching a fleet.
This is similar to Rainbow Bridge technology of Asgard.
It's just that one of them takes the magic route, while the other takes the purely technical route.
As for the economic field, Shi'ar Empire's huge business consortium is enough to defeat Kree Empire plus Skrull Empire.
They are the most successful merchants in the universe, maintaining huge amounts of trade with almost all forces.
It is hard to imagine that such a powerful and proud race would appear in a black market in a "remote village" like Xandar.
But the woman Shi'ar had no such consciousness at all. She took the initiative to say hello with a smile, "Welcome! Welcome to my store. Believe me, if you choose a spaceship, this is the most ideal place. Because I will never falsify the age of use, let alone sell refurbished second-hand goods as new goods."
"Do you know us?" Rocket asked in an uncertain tone.
Because he felt that the other party was a little too enthusiastic.
"Of course! News spreads very quickly in the black market. Now all businessmen know that you have a lot of money in your hands." Female Shi'ar's eyes flashed with greed.
"So, we are now standard fat sheep?" Allen teased half-jokingly.
The female boss nodded without thinking, "That's right! The merchants in the entire black market are trying every possible way to take money out of your pockets. After all, such high-quality customers are very rare among Gold Hunter and mercenaries. And we know very well how much money the Jailer Morak has made over the years."
"Damn! I said those guys looked at us weirdly just now. It turns out they were trying to steal the money in their pockets." Rocket suddenly became vigilant.
You know, black marketeers are not good people.
Although most of the time they make a fortune selling contraband, they don't mind appearing as robbers and thieves at certain times.
Moreover, many black market businessmen with strong financial resources will hire some capable bodyguards and guards.
"Relax, little guy. We Shi'ar are different from those unscrupulous guys. At least in my shop, you are absolutely safe. Okay, don't waste time, hurry up and buy the spaceship you want."
As she spoke, the female boss waved her hand in the air and pulled down, instantly summoning holographic projections of at least a dozen spaceships out of thin air.
Its clarity can even be magnified thousands of times to carefully examine the wear marks on each part.
There is no doubt that this is also the unique technology of the Shi'ar Empire.
Compared with the simple and rough projections of other civilizations, this kind of holographic projection is almost equivalent to putting the real thing in front of you, and it can also simulate driving.
Rocket Raccoon also pointed at the largest and most expensive one unceremoniously and said, "I want the engine and reactor of this spaceship, the shell and shield system of the spacecraft next to it, and the super main gun you sell here..."
Obviously, he was not interested in a complete spaceship, but wanted to dismantle the best parts from these spaceships, and then assemble and modify one himself.
Based on this alone, it is not difficult to judge that Rocket is definitely as talented as Tony·Stark in the technical field.
In his eyes, DIY assembling a spaceship is no different from normal people assembling a model toy.
However, Rocket DIY was happy, but the female boss's smile was frozen on her face.
Because according to Rocket Raccoon's method, she would have to dismantle at least six valuable warships.
And trying to put the remaining parts back together is definitely a time-consuming and laborious task.
If other customers made such outrageous demands, the female boss Shi'ar would definitely ask them to leave without hesitation.
But considering the huge amount of money these three people carried, she didn't want to let it go easily.
In this way, the female boss fell into an extremely tangled state.
Just when she was about to ask the lion to open his mouth, Allen suddenly interjected. "Rocket, if you dismantle things like this, it will cause trouble for others. Why not, while dismantling it, help assemble the remaining spacecraft together. In this way, I believe the boss will give us a relatively favorable price, right?"
"What a great idea! If you can do it, I'll give you a 20% discount on the original price." The female boss's eyes instantly lit up.
"20% off?!" Rocket Raccoon was stunned for a moment, then nodded his head desperately. "No problem! I promise to assemble all the spaceships in the most optimized way. In my opinion, the level of maintenance and assembly engineers here is really poor, and they have not been able to maximize the performance of these parts."
"Then we've settled. Promise, 54 million, please pay the bill."
Shi'ar The female boss raised her hand and touched the feathers on her crown, with naked and undisguised excitement in her tone.
You must know that this is a big business, and the profit is enough to equal almost a year's total income.
Especially a main gun that can destroy a city with one strike may not be able to sell even one in a few years.
After all, whether it is Gold Hunter, interstellar pirates, or those Ravagers, the essence is to capture the target as much as possible, and then loot the opponent's property, so there is no need for weapons that are too powerful.
Otherwise, all the people and property will be destroyed with one shot, and it will be a waste of time.
Therefore, they are not very interested in Super Weapon, which is expensive, consumes energy, and cannot bring in income, and it is also not a necessity.
But Rocket is obviously a weirdo in the industry and has an extremely persistent pursuit of things like firepower.
In his opinion, the more powerful the main gun of the spacecraft is, the better. It is best to be able to destroy a planet with one shot.
In addition, he also purchased a large amount of antimatter materials used to make bombs.
The quantity and variety of them made even the female boss Shi'ar gasp after seeing them.
Because this number is enough to launch a large-scale war.
She really couldn't imagine how much trouble the three people in front of her would cause in the universe after gaining such powerful firepower.
But worries are worries, business still needs to be done.
Make money? It's not chilling.
As for who will become the victim, black marketeers don't care.
After paying the full amount, Rocket and Groot followed the female boss Shi'ar to the black market spaceport, where they prepared to assemble and modify the spacecraft.
Obviously, this takes quite some time.
Even with the help of modular technology and various large-scale robotic arms, it will take at least several days to complete.
Allen walked into the crowded bar alone, intending to experience the entertainment of Gold Hunter and the mercenaries in the interstellar world.
As soon as he crossed the threshold, he immediately found a hand reaching out from the side and wrapping his arms around his neck very skillfully.
"Hey! Handsome! Have you finally finished your own business and relaxed?"
"I'm sorry, could you please let go and stay away from me? You know, the last person who was so close to me was cut into two pieces by that Claymore." Allen turned around and released a little killing intent.
moment!
This woman, who was so charming one second, was so frightened that she backed away repeatedly, her breathing became rapid, and there was even a stream of warm liquid flowing down her thighs.
Not to mention her, even the bounty hunters and mercenaries around who were drinking, gambling, and playing with women couldn't help but trembled, and subconsciously put their hands on their weapons.
These guys who have been hanging around in dangerous areas all year round are obviously particularly sensitive to murderous intent, so they all reacted immediately.
But after seeing that it was Allen, they all relaxed again.
One of the former teammates raised his cup and joked loudly, "My dear friend, is that woman making you unhappy? If so, I suggest you take her down and take her to the small room upstairs to teach her a lesson. Believe me, sometimes a little resistance can add a lot of fun."
"Hahahaha! That's right! Drinking the strongest wine and playing with the best girls are the original motivations for me to join this." Another person also followed suit.
"No, you misunderstood, I'm just not used to someone touching me from behind. Because that would make me want to draw my sword and kill this reckless idiot."
Allen explained while asking the bartender for a bottle of the most expensive wine in the store. He opened it boldly, raised his head and took two gulps.
puff!
One Gold Hunter couldn't help but spit out the drink in his mouth when he heard these words. He stared at the woman who had collapsed on the ground with his mouth open, and finally realized why the other party was so frightened that he became incontinent.
Because she almost died!
To be precise, everyone who has participated in the prison robbery will be deeply impressed by the Doorplate Greatsword carried behind Allen.
Compared with the wounds caused by energy weapons from a distance, this kind of pure cold weapon killing is more bloody and violent, and full of visual and psychological impact.
They couldn't imagine what it would be like if this evil star really pulled out his sword and chopped the woman at the door into two pieces.
Similarly, these people also labeled Allen as extremely dangerous and should never be messed with.
After all, a guy who can kill even beautiful women without hesitation is 100% the most ruthless among ruthless people.
Being an enemy of such a person would definitely make you impatient.
Thinking of this, the bounty hunters in the bar exchanged glances with each other. One of the guys immediately stood up and forced a smile, and actively invited. "Since you don't like women, how about you come and play a small game of betting with us?"
"Okay! I just want to kill some boring time. Tell me, what interesting little games do you have here?" Allen asked in a natural way.
"It's very simple! Have you seen that platform? Later we will catch some lizards and put them in, and then put a large predator behind them. Each lizard has a number, and you can bet on a certain lizard to reach the finish line first. If you guess correctly, you will get a bonus five times your bet. Of course, if all the lizards are eaten by the predator before reaching the finish line, it will be the dealer's take-all."
Another person standing next to him, Gold Hunter, explained the rules of the game with great interest.
To put it simply, this is a space version of the gambling game "Dog Chases Rabbit".
The main part of the fun is placing bets.
It's just that in a universe with extremely advanced technology, the game venue has changed from a simple open space to an indoor one. At the same time, various obstacles and maze-like passages are set up on the platform to add all kinds of fun and surprises.
After figuring out the rules, Allen directly bought 100,000 chips and said with a smile, "Then what are you waiting for? Let's start quickly."
Instantly!
The entire bar suddenly erupted in deafening cheers.
You must know that in indoor games like this, the amount of bets is generally not too large. One or two hundred is considered a top dollar.
But now, someone has redeemed one hundred thousand chips at once, and everyone wants to win the money from Allen.
After all, who wouldn't want to dream of getting rich overnight?
After a while, several lizards that were only the size of a hand were released from the cage.
Behind them is a carnivore slightly larger than a chicken.
There are no rules and no rules are needed.
As these little animals appear on the stage, it means the game begins.
For the aliens outside who are shouting, the most they lose is a little money.
For the lizard on the table, once it loses, it will become food in the mouth of the predator.
Suddenly, countless people waved their fists and shouted loudly to cheer for the lizard they had bet on.
Once someone is caught up and eaten, someone will immediately scream and wail.
Only Allen never had any strong emotions. He just drank the drink in his hand and watched the farce.
Whether he wins or loses, he acts as if it has nothing to do with him.
