The pressure from Lu Qi dropped sharply, which made Nova Prime and the senior executives feel a little more relaxed. However, when they looked at Lu Qi who was sitting seriously on the throne, their hearts were filled with helplessness.
Lu Qi's statement is not wrong. There is no problem in letting his subordinates protect his people. After all, it cannot be said that he does not care about the survival of his people in a foreign country.
But it was such a harmless move that put all the responsibility on their side.
"I may have to say first that every Earthling is an extremely precious part of the Earth. Not long ago, Celestials also inspected the Earth and said that humans on the Earth have extremely strong potential and have the qualifications to become the kind of beings Celestials is."
Listening to Nova Prime's promise of compensation, Lu Qi also used Celestials's evaluation of humans on earth to raise the price for Star-Lord.
However, this is not considered a lie. Lu Qi also said indifferently, "If you don't believe it, you can also ask those Celestials. This is definitely their evaluation of the people on earth."
Nova Prime After hearing this, a wry smile appeared on his face.
How dare they ask Celestials about this? What if the other party has nothing to do and gives them a qualification assessment and they fail.
Listening to Lu Qi repeatedly emphasizing the potential of humans on Earth, Nova Prime quickly said, "Of course we don't doubt the potential of humans on Earth, but potential is just potential. Without growth, no matter how huge the potential is, it is useless."
This must be explained, otherwise, if they pay for a "Celestials" just for a "Star-Lord", then it won't wipe out all their wealth, right?
Lu Qi nodded, "Of course, I'm just telling you [must add money (crossed out)] the importance of every person on earth."
"That's good. Can you tell me a standard? We can slowly discuss based on that standard."
Lu Qi nodded. If both sides proposed a compensation standard, it would be easy for disagreements to arise. It would be better to propose one first and then slowly adjust it.
"Do you remember the technology I told you before that I wanted to buy? That is exactly what the people of the earth need. I hope you can directly compensate with those technologies. After all, it is the people of the earth who you accidentally injured, and I will not seek benefits for myself. It is better to give them something directly."
Nova Prime nodded, "You are indeed a good lord who thinks about your people, and I have no objections here. But although we can provide you with most of the technologies you request unconditionally, there are still a few technologies that we cannot provide to you."
"Which technologies?"
Lu Qi asked with a frown. Most of the technologies he proposed were upgraded versions of Earth's aerospace technology. Logically speaking, there should be no problems.
Nova Prime also made a list here and handed it to Lu Qi.
"Most of the technologies you want are not very rare, so although you need more, Nova Empire is still willing to compensate you. But I have a list here, and the technologies on it are all technologies shared by the Nova Empire in cooperation with other universe empires. I cannot provide these technologies to you unilaterally."
It seems that patents are an unavoidable topic in the universe.
"The technologies in this list were developed through the cooperation of multiple empires, combining the manpower and material resources of each empire. They cost a lot of money, and they are also very widely used in other aspects."
Listening to Nova Prime's introduction, Lu Qi also asked curiously, "Then can't I get these technologies here?"
"Well, not really, it's just that each of these technologies consumes a lot of financial and material resources, so even if Nova Empire wants to share the use rights with you, you still need to come up with something valuable to stop other Interstellar Empire's mouths."
"You just have to pay." Lu Qi breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the few technologies on the list, he thought they shouldn't cost much.
"How many are needed?"
"It is estimated that one hundred billion credit coins."
Nova Prime casually revealed a big number, which shocked Lu Qi.
Wait, let him do the math. Even if Star-Lord and the others exchange Orb for the Collector, they can only get 4 billion credit points. This is because the Collector knew that Orb contained Power Stone, so it paid a high price.
Power Stone only has so little money, you want 100 billion???
Seeing Lu Qi's shock, Nova Prime said with a smile, "But with the Nova Empire's help, I think we can reduce the price to only about 10 billion. And if you don't have enough credit points, you can also exchange some rare items for credit coins."
Hearing what Nova Prime said, I originally planned to ask them to help me pay for it, but the other party had already helped me so much that Lu Qi couldn't ask for it, so I had to take out the credits myself.
But now he had some doubts about the credit points. He felt that the credit point system was a little broken, so he also asked:
"Then give me a reference. Take the legendary Infinity Stones. How much are those things worth?"
Nova Prime glanced at Lu Qi in surprise, "Infinity Stones is a legendary treasure. Each Infinity Stones has a value that cannot be measured in credit points. But if you insist, one Infinity Stones is worth about one trillion credit points."
After simply giving an estimate, Nova Prime added, "This is because you need a certain threshold to use Infinity Stones, which lowers the value of Infinity Stones. In the face of those forces that have the ability to use Infinity Stones, it is normal for this value to increase several times."
Let me go, the Collector, you are so black!
You almost bought something worth trillions with four billion, you are God of Wealth!
Lu Qi could not help but curse the Collector in his heart, and he also had the idea of selling Infinity Stones to him first and then steal it back later.
But the Collector seemed to have something, and even Odin had a good relationship with him. The water was a bit deep, so Lu Qi gave up on this plan.
But if you can't earn trillions from the other party, you can always get the 10 billion from him.
Thinking that the other party knew what was inside Orb, Lu Qi also planned to let Shadow Ninjas interfere with Star-Lord's ideas a little, and sell Orb to the Collector. As for the price, he would first double it several times and sell it to him for 20 billion.
Anyway, the Collector doesn't know that Power Stone in Orb has been switched by him. When the time comes, he can just ask him to pay first and then deliver the goods.
Even if this guy discovers something is wrong later, he probably won't dare to say it. After all, his plan to use four billion to pick up Power Stone is already too much. If he tells it, the Collector's reputation will be damaged.
And if this guy insists on turning against him regardless of the loss of his reputation, then don't blame Lu Qi for turning over even more, and directly snatch up the Collector when the time comes.
With the plan in mind, Lu Qi also said goodbye to Nova Prime, saying that he would get those 10 billion credits and let her contact him first.
After leaving the hall, Lu Qi asked for directions while communicating with Shadow Ninjas next to Star-Lord.
I don't know where in the universe, a group of people who finally worked together to escape from Kyln Prison started making trouble again in Star-Lord's small spaceship.
Drax the Destroyer, who originally followed Star-Lord and the others to sneak out to find Ronan, heard that Ronan had robbed Kyln Prison, and immediately wanted to drive the spaceship back to find Ronan.
However, Star-Lord and Rocket, who finally escaped, gave up and stepped forward to stop Drax desperately. Groot looked at his companions with a blank expression.
Didn't they work together to escape from prison just now? Why are they fighting again now?
Gwen Stacy, a soft-hearted Groot, used vines to pull several people away, and kept repeating. "I am Groot, I am Groot."
Although Groot keeps talking very hard, for now, only Rocket can understand him.
Shadow Ninjas, in front of irrelevant people, put his hands on his chest and watched a few people messing around.
This is the picture Lu Qi saw through the perspective of Shadow Ninjas. Lu Qi sighed. Sure enough, without a woman, Guardians of the Galaxy was a little messy.
Seeing a few people making trouble, Lu Qi also gave Shadow Ninjas new instructions.
After receiving the order from Lu Qi, Shadow Ninjas no longer stood idly by and walked up with two unsheathed long knives.
After slapping the entangled people away twice, Shadow Ninjas grabbed the spacecraft joystick with one hand and looked back at the few people.
"What did he want to say?"
But after a strange silence, Rocket asked strangely. Star-Lord quickly explained for him, "He seems to be unable to speak, maybe he doesn't even have a vocal organ."
Looking at Shadow Ninjas, who was a little autistic, Star-Lord quickly said, "How about I prepare a notebook for you, and just write down what you want to say in it?"
Shadow Ninjas nodded, Star-Lord quickly went to find a book for Shadow Ninjas, and Drax on the side said, "I don't care what you are thinking, but I want to go back to find Ronan! I want to avenge my wife and daughter!"
"Hey, listen, idiot, you are definitely no match for Ronan. If Ronan will be defeated by a guy like you who is in prison and needs others to escape, then Ronan won't give Nova Empire such a headache!"
"What do you know! That guy killed my wife and daughter. I must avenge them. I have been thinking about it for several years. If I get the chance this time, I must go!"
Star-Lord climbed up from the lower cabin and threw the notebook in his hand to Shadow Ninjas. Shadow Ninjas took the notebook and started writing and drawing. When Drax saw this, he wanted to grab the joystick, but was directly pressed to the ground by Shadow Ninjas with one hand.
'You can't even defeat me, but you still want to defeat Ronan?'
Shadow Ninjas directly pressed the book in his hand against Drax's face. Looking at the words on it, Drax also roared angrily and wanted to resist.
But in this weakened version of Marvel Universe, Drax has no power as described in the comics, and there is no way to escape from the hands of Shadow Ninjas.
'Accept the reality, you can't even beat me, you are no match for Ronan. And Ronan may have left Kyln Prison a long time ago. If you go there now, you can't even see the shadow of Ronan!'
After being pressed down by Shadow Ninjas and reading what he had written, Drax slowly stopped struggling.
"But Ronan killed my wife and my daughter. I want to avenge them..."
Drax slammed his head on the ground and shouted through gritted teeth. Shadow Ninjas was silent for a while before writing.
'Even if you go to Ronan now, you are still no match for him. Why not find a place to settle down first, train yourself to be stronger, and then go to Ronan for revenge!'
"That's right, if you are not strong enough, then go exercise and gain enough strength! This way you can avenge them!"
Drax turned to look at Star-Lord, "Where are we going? I can't wait to find a place to start exercising!"
Before Star-Lord could speak, Rocket spoke first.
"Oh, finally, this monster was held down by another monster. As for where to go next? Of course, hand this guy over to Yondu, and then Groot and I will take the 40,000 credit coins and leave. You and this monster can exercise wherever you want!"
"Hey, hey, hey, we just cooperated and escaped from the prison, and you're just saying these things, aren't you too heartless?"
Seeing Rocket and Star-Lord starting to argue again, Drax glanced at Shadow Ninjas next to him, "Are we going to hold them down?"
Shadow Ninjas shrugged, quickly wrote a few more sentences, and asked Rocket to take a look.
"What? You said you could make tens of billions of credits through him!"
Rocket looked at the words written by Shadow Ninjas and shouted in shock. He turned and pointed at Star-Lord and shouted, "What means can he use to make us earn tens of billions?"
Star-Lord was also confused, "Is there any way we can make tens of billions?"
"Yeah, you see, he's not even sure he can make tens of billions!"
Looking at the two people singing the oboe, Shadow Ninjas took out Orb from Star-Lord's bag and placed it on the table.
'Some people are willing to spend tens of billions to buy this thing.'
"Just this stuff? I don't believe it, those guys are not fools."
Rocket folded his arms, his face full of doubt.
Star-Lord did not doubt Shadow Ninjas's statement. He said in disbelief, "This thing is worth so much money? Then Broker plans to get rid of me for hundreds of thousands?"
"Wait a minute, you don't really believe the nonsense he says, do you? If I were him and knew that this thing was worth tens of billions, I would just kill everyone and keep this thing for myself."
Looking at the two long knives on Shadow Ninjas's back, Rocket said fearfully.
Shadow Ninjas directly took a pen and wrote on the table: 'I'm not telling lies. This thing can be found by forces of Kree's level, and it has that kind of value. As for why I don't plan to keep it all for myself, it's because money has no meaning to me, it's just a useless number.'
"If what you say is better than what you sing, then if you have the ability, don't pay me any more."
'Okay, I don't pay any money.'
Shadow Ninjas didn't hesitate at all. Anyway, if Lu Qi came forward, it wouldn't be his turn to share the money.
After being treated like this, Rocket also became more energetic, "Then where are we going to take this thing to exchange for money?"
'Knowhere.'
Taking Star-Lord and his party on the way to Knowhere to find the Collector, Lu Qi also found the route to Knowhere and flew directly into the sky.
Relying on those spaceships is too slow, Lu Qi plans to learn Odin, and physically travel across the universe. With his current energy reserve, there is basically no problem in going to Knowhere.
Nova Prime and a group of Nova executives looked at Lu Qi and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Such a hard-to-treat guy finally left Xandar. How could they not be relieved?
But...
Have those Shadow Ninjas who stayed here before been taken away by him?
Looking at the shadows in the surrounding hall, Nova Prime shuddered. Why did he feel like something was watching him inside?
Is it possible that he still left someone to monitor them? Nova Prime thought of this and did not dare to delay. He immediately said to all his subordinates, "Immediately contact other empires to ensure that as soon as the funds of Mr. Lu Qi are in place, the use rights can be shared with him immediately!"
The senior executives and assistants nodded and walked out, carefully looking around the corners for fear of a few Shadow Ninjas popping up inside.
