"We have the largest collection in the entire Milky Way —animals, antiques, and all sorts of other things..."
A girl with light pink skin, red pigtails, and a very short skirt led Su Zhou, Yondu, and Malekith forward.
On the way, he also showed off Tivan's collection to Su Zhou, this country bumpkin who's never seen much of the world.
She was a maid working for the Collector Tivan, and her duties mainly consisted of cleaning and greeting guests.
After all, there are many people who want to do business with Collector, but few who can actually get a personal meeting with Collector.
Her extra task was to give everyone who had the chance to meet the Collector a good opportunity to showcase the Collector's formidable wealth!
Su Zhou was truly astonished by Tivan's collection, setting aside the other bizarre alien creatures...
A golden retriever puppy dressed in a spacesuit successfully caught Su Zhou's attention.
Cosmo, the first living being sent into space by humans, was launched into space by a Soviet Union Rocket.
Then, for reasons unknown, he ended up in the Knowhere and gained extremely strong Telepathy abilities.
However, unlike Su Zhou's [ Telepathy ] which excels at controlling other people's thoughts, Cosmo's Telepathy tends to be more about telekinesis.
It has the special ability to control the movement of physical objects, which is why it became part of Tivan's collection!
Finally, Thanos led the Black Order to wreak havoc in the Knowhere, killing the Collector Tivan.
Cosmo regained his freedom and eventually became a new member of the Guardians of the Galaxy.
Su Zhou has loved dogs since he was a child, so he lingered in front of the glass enclosure where Cosmo was kept for a long time.
Unfortunately, this glass enclosure was specially made, completely isolating Cosmo's Telepathy.
This also prevented Su Zhou's [ Telepathy ] from connecting with the puppy's thoughts, which was a bit of a shame!
Waving goodbye to Cosmo inside the glass room, Su Zhou followed the red-haired waiter and left.
But a hint of doubt flashed in Cosmo's eyes; it too sensed goodwill from Su Zhou.
That look in your eyes suggests you're not treating it as merchandise, but as a "person"?
Collector Tivan, a man with a full head of silver-white hair, greeted Su Zhou and his companions with a broad smile.
Looking at Su Zhou, who was sitting casually in the chair, and Yondu and Malekith standing behind him like javelins,
Tivan tilted his head in confusion. Even he hadn't expected that the one in charge among the three would be Su Zhou, this new face!
" Malekith, the leader of the Dark Elves, Yondu the Ravagers, we're old acquaintances."
I never expected that the two of you would both recognize a newcomer as your leader. May I ask your name, sir?
" Su Zhou, from Earth."
Su Zhou smiled and accepted the drinks from the waitress. His body, enhanced by the Super Soldier Serum,...
He can't get drunk at all, but he still wants to try alien beer!
Tivan remained silent, because this time he only wanted to receive Malekith; the Dark Elves he had bought last time was already dead.
He really wanted to buy another Dark Elves for his collection, but Su Zhou... sorry, this nobody doesn't have what he needs!
Su Zhou took a sip of the beer in his glass and found that the alien beer was nothing special; he might as well Brave the World!
Seeing that Tivan had stopped talking and seemed ready to take charge, Su Zhou understood.
Now's the time to flex your muscles!
A flash of white light, and the golden Infinity Gauntlet appeared in Su Zhou's hand, the two Infinity Stones shining brightly!
Tivan: (*ﾟﾛﾟ)!!
This newbie actually has two Infinity Stones!!!
No wonder the Dark Elves and Yondu were willing to submit to him; in this universe, no one has ever possessed two Infinity Stones at the same time!
"Nice gloves, name your price!"
Tivan forcefully suppressed his burning greed. A professional businessman, he knew well that he couldn't let his emotions show during negotiations.
Once others discover your intentions, it will be difficult to negotiate a lower price!
He had actually considered whether to snatch the gem directly from Su Zhou's hands.
But seeing how confident and fearless Su Zhou Su Zhou is, it's probably not a good choice to fight him!
There are three types of people who can roam freely in the universe and don't care about the Collector's name.
One type is individuals whose personal combat strength has reached a certain level, such as Captain Marvel, a monster capable of taking on an entire fleet of warships single-handedly;
One type controls extremely large organizations, such as the three major empires that are famous throughout the galaxy;
The last type is individuals who possess immense personal strength and also control terrifying organizations, such as Thanos and his Black Order.
Su Zhou was just an unknown nobody, and his subordinates Yondu and Malekith weren't exactly famous or ruthless either.
Therefore, there is only one possibility: Su Zhou's combat ability is extremely terrifying!
That's true; someone whose combat abilities aren't formidable wouldn't be able to obtain two Infinity Stones!
Do you sell your collectibles?
Su Zhou did not answer Tivan's question, but instead showed Tivan his Infinity Gauntlet from all angles.
The two gems, one red and one yellow, dazzled Tivan that he squinted.
"Some of my collectibles are originally intended for sale, but the items here are generally quite expensive."
Tivan, being a seasoned veteran, immediately realized that Su Zhou wasn't there to sell, but to buy.
marvelous!
No matter what you want to buy, I'll definitely give you a price you can't afford!
At that point, Su Zhou will only be able to exchange Infinity Stones and the Infinity Gauntlet for it—a huge win for him!!!
Su Zhou:(눈_눈)
But I wasn't planning on spending any money in the first place!
I'm here to get free items!
Su Zhou never intended to spend any money from the beginning, because he simply didn't have any currency circulating in the universe.
The reason for seeking an audience with Tivan was to see if he could be controlled using Telepathy.
If I succeed, I can become the behind-the-scenes boss of the Knowhere. How wonderful!
If that doesn't work, then I'll just sell a Dark Elves!
When Su Zhou saw Cosmo, he was already prepared to give up. Tivan was able to control this telekinetic dog.
Glass can also isolate one's Telepathy, so Su Zhou was genuinely planning to sell the Dark Elves and leave.
However, it's unclear whether Tivan was overconfident, as he received Su Zhou and his companions without any protection whatsoever.
Su Zhou had been using [ Telepathy ] to constantly spy on the Collector's thoughts from the very beginning, but the guy hadn't noticed anything at all!
The Mind Stone flashed slightly, and Su Zhou's sycophancy increased by 1.
"Honorable Mr. Su Zhou, how can I help you?"
Tivan knew perfectly well that Su Zhou had taken control of his mind, but it was too late!
"I still prefer your old, rebellious self. Try to come back to that."
"Yes!"
