Temporary update:
I did some calculations and found that because I took one day off this month, I missed two chapters.
I've added a chapter before, but it's still missing one chapter.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder means this can't be tolerated!
Complete this chapter today.
Well, that's it.
Li Congxin's wishful thinking was rattling, but the Collector was indeed an old fox who had lived for who knows how long.
Facing Li Congxin's strong suppression, he only used one move to force Li Congxin to give up all the follow-up plans prepared for him.
That is... from the heart!
Not only did the Collector not express the slightest dissatisfaction with Li Congxin's bad behavior of doing business in front of his door, he even came to congratulate him personally when his store opened and gave him a big gift.
Among the gifts, there are a large number of rare substances that the Void specializes in and... 4 billion Credits!
4 billion Credits placed in the universe is enough to buy several living planets!
If using planets to represent it is not obvious enough, you can also change to a more intuitive example. When the Collector acquired Orb of Power, which is Power Stone, the price given was 4 billion Credits!
You must know that when he acquired Orb of Power, he never planned to play with the value of hidden treasures. Even before the transaction, he very thoughtfully conducted some popular science about Infinity Stones for several of Guardians of the Galaxy's funny guys.
It can be seen that the price of a big killer like Infinity Stones is probably worth this amount!
You know, Li Congxin hasn't even plucked a hair out of his hair now, but the Collector is so willing to send such a large sum of money, and even has a batch of "local specialties" with roughly the same price.
Isn't this too tactful?
People are already so righteous. If Li Congxin still refuses to let go and insists on punishing him to death, it will be too overbearing. This is inconsistent with one of his principles of doing things. If he really kills the Collector in this situation, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make friends in the universe in the future.
After all, there was no quarrel between him and the Collector before.
With the idea of reciprocating the favor, Li Congxin also tactfully stated that he had no intention of collecting too many special resources. But since the store is already open, it can't be closed down right away, can it?
In the end, he decided to limit the number of acquisitions to the price of ten Kree spacecraft, and the price would be slightly higher than the Collector, so that he would not maliciously suppress prices.
The reason why I chose to stay here for a while is mainly because there are many free Cosmic Energy in the wreckage of this Elder Gods thing. Although it is very thin, it is quite rare compared to the outside world.
Similarly, among the rare resources of local specialties, Li Congxin also found some rare Cosmic Energy, which was one of the main reasons why he collected these substances.
Thanos is coming!
There is nothing wrong if you can improve your strength a little more.
He simply handed over the store to Ava and Nebula, while Li Congxin entered a semi-reclusive state. The daily thing is to understand the laws of the universe contained in the two Infinity Stones. This is also the biggest benefit Li Congxin has gained from Mimir's Well.
In addition to the location and use of the three Infinity Stones, he also gained insight into how to communicate with the gems, and then gained a glimpse of the mysterious way!
While comprehending the laws of power and space, this does not prevent him from absorbing the special substances of his body and the Cosmic Energy free in the air. His strength is always improving at an orderly speed.
There are no years to practice, months of time flow through the fingertips like fine sand.
Half a year later, Li Congxin finally consumed 99% of the local special resources in his hands. The Cosmic Energy extracted from them also made a significant improvement in his strength. Now the in his body The sum of Cosmic Energy has brought his strength to a level close to that of the late Sub-Celestial, and the gap between Thanos and Honest Person has narrowed by one step.
After the strength increased greatly, Li Congxin became very quiet and restless.
After instructing Ava and Nebula to be optimistic about his store, they were directly transmitted to Xandar.
The speed of news transmission in the universe is very fast. The news that Ronan was killed by Li Congxin has now spread to every corner of the galaxy (barbaric places like the earth that have not yet connected with the universe are not included).
After learning that Li Congxin helped them solve the big problem of Ronan, Nova Prime personally met with Li Congxin and officially opened up part of Nova Corps's technology to Li Congxin as a thank you. At the same time, he announced that Xandar would establish a formal offensive and defensive alliance on Earth.
An alliance or something is just that. At a critical moment, whether you need to abide by the covenant depends on the situation at the time.
What really interests Li Congxin is Nova Corps's science and technology. Although in terms of technology, it is impossible for them to open all high-level information to Li Congxin. But those common parts that are common to all major civilizations in the universe are not so precious.
For example, interstellar jumping technology and space engine technology are amazing, not only for the Great Empire of the Universe, and Nova Empire, but also for Thanos Dark Cult, and even for some second-class planetary civilizations, it is no secret.
Regarding this part of the secret shared by everyone, Nova Corps is quite generous. Nova Prime is happy to use these secrets, which are not secrets, in exchange for the favor of a truly powerful person in the universe.
And these basic parts are exactly what the earth really needs now.
Before this, Li Congxin had seen similar technical information in Asgard, and it was even more in-depth. However, the shortcomings of those technologies have been mentioned before. Technologies that operate with magic as the core are not on the same branch as the earth's technology tree, and the parts that can be learned are really limited.
After establishing good trade relations with Xandar, Li Congxin returned to Asgard.
Before leaving, he left a clone in Xandar to learn some relevant scientific and technological knowledge as Nova Corps's guest.
Nova Prime deeply welcomes this.
What Li Congxin didn't expect was that only half a year later, when he returned to Asgard again, his prince's palace had actually been completed!
Its location is not far from the Golden Palace.
"I said Old Brother Odin, you are really... Although I thought about leaving a clone here when I came back this time, so that we can keep in touch with each other at all times, but for me, just having a place to live is enough. You also built a palace specifically for me. Is this a bit too... extravagant?"
After meeting Odin again, Li Congxin immediately said that the other party was making a fuss out of a molehill.
Odin heard this and shook his head stubbornly. "I didn't do this just to show my goodwill to you. In fact, you, the prince, appeared too suddenly. Although you were personally authorized by me, the people below will still have doubts about your authority. In this case, you are likely to encounter some unexpected difficulties when exercising your power."
After a slight pause, he added, "Especially after I left, a prince living in a palace and a prince living in a guest room are not the same concept to Asgardians."
Li Congxin was stunned when he heard this. "Old Brother Odin, you..."
Odin waved his hand gently. "Don't worry, I won't die for the time being." After saying that, he sighed and said, "But my current strength has begun to enter a period of decline. In this case, it is difficult for me to suppress the seal that sealed Hela even if I sit here Asgard."
"So, I have to go and spend my last days on Earth."
Li Congxin also restrained his smile after hearing this. What Odin said was absolutely true.
There is no need for Odin to say more about the specific details. Li Congxin has already gotten the answer from Mimir's Well.
When Odin sealed Hela in the Kingdom of Death, he had actually built a very strong sealing formation. Even if Odin died, Hela would not be able to break out of the seal at all.
Because there is no flaw to be found in that seal on the side of the Kingdom of Death!
However, many things have two sides. The price of being flawless in the Kingdom of Death is that the other side of the seal is very fragile. As long as the core of the seal is found, even ordinary people can easily destroy it.
In March 1942, a German officer named John Smit robbed Tesseract, and a huge flaw appeared in the seal!
Before drinking Mimir's Well, Li Congxin would definitely suggest that Odin use Tesseract to strengthen the seal, but now he would never say such a thing.
Because the seal is not different from the formation in Xianxia novels, there is also this repair. Once the seal is destroyed, it is destroyed. The only way to restore the old look is to remove all the seals and then rearrange them.
But at that time, Odin was no longer absolutely sure, so Hela could not take the opportunity to escape and cause trouble to Nine Realms.
Therefore, Odin has been using his own power to suppress the seal on Hela. This is also the reason why he never takes action and his body is still getting weaker and weaker.
He and Frigga were originally husband and wife, but in the eyes of uninformed outsiders, Odin was more like Frigga's father.
After a moment of silence, Li Congxin asked again, "For Asgard, do you have any other arrangements that you would like me to assist with?"
Odin smiled slightly and nodded slightly, "A country cannot live without a king for a day, and Thor's current strength and reputation are not enough to deter Xiao Xiao..."
That night, Riot happened in Asgard prison, and a large number of prisoners escaped. However, the situation was quickly calmed down, and all the prisoners were captured. Only Loki completely disappeared from everyone's sight.
Missing!
In order to save this lost child, Queen Frigga ignored Odin's dissuasion and insisted on leaving Asgard. He personally took Sif and a group of smart and capable men with him and began the journey to find Loki.
Among Asgard, Odin and Golden Palace.
At this moment, only two people, Odin and Li Congxin, were left here, and the latter said in a deep voice to Odin who was sitting on the throne without any respect, "Starting from today., you are All-Father Odin of Asgard. Other people who may find out your identity have left Asgard one after another, but there is one person you must not touch."
Odin heard this and asked, "Are you talking about Heimdall?"
"That's right. Before Odin left, I told him not to interfere with your affairs. You can rest assured about this." Li Congxin said in a condescending tone, "During this period, you can eat, drink and have fun as you please, but if you encounter major issues, you must discuss it with me first."
"If everything is calm, you will be considered to have made a great contribution to Asgard. If you dare to do bad things, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
Hearing this, an evil smile suddenly appeared on the face of "Odin": "Don't forget, you are just a clone, and you only have the strength of an ordinary Asgar. If I want to kill you like this, it will not be much more difficult than crushing an ant. I want to know, how are you going to be rude to me?"
Li Congxin responded with a harmless smile, "If you are not convinced, you can give it a try. I welcome you at any time."
Try it?
If you want to challenge the authority of Li Congxin, how can you dare to try it casually with the superficial "Odin" in front of you?
He clearly knows that Space Stone is now embedded in the cloak of Li Congxin. As long as he wants, no matter where he is in the universe, he can appear in front of him immediately.
He had experienced ten times the pain of "Ritual" twice before and after, and he didn't want to try the feeling a third time.
He is Loki, he is God of Mischief, not the god of masochism!
After an awkward smile, Loki, who transformed into Odin, nodded gently at Li Congxin, and then said, "In that case, please Prince Li go back and rest early. Your advice has benefited me a lot, and I will definitely seek your advice when encountering problems in the future."
