Chapter 242
"I am Groot?"
Groot, not looking very smart, confirmed with Rocket.
"That's right, hurry up and do it! Didn't you see my belongings were dismantled!" Rocket shook the half-gun in its hand.
"I am Groot!"
The simple tree-man, hearing this, immediately extended several branches and vines to bind Seeing Seeing Alita—
"Too slow."
Seeing Seeing Alita just kicked off the ground and leaped back lightly, dodging Groot's vines.
"Let's see mine."
She rubbed her index finger against her thumb and flicked a cluster of green flames. "Wood should be afraid of fire, right? And this isn't ordinary fire."
"I am Groot..." Seeing this cluster of green flames, Groot immediately retreated two steps in fear.
"No way... so timid..."
Seeing its fearful eyes, which looked just like a child's, Seeing Seeing Alita lost interest and put her blade away. "Forget it~ I won't lower myself to your level."
"Hey! What about my gun?"
Seeing that Groot was no match, Rocket became anxious. "You have to compensate me!"
Seeing Seeing Alita rolled her eyes at it and made a playful face. "I don't have a single cent; I'm a pauper~"
"No money? How is that possible! Compensate me with that blade of yours!" Rocket's sharp eyes immediately saw the extraordinary nature of Seeing Seeing Alita's weapon.
"If you keep pestering me, be careful, or I'll pull out all your fur!"
Seeing Seeing Alita was getting impatient, clenched her small fist at Rocket Raccoon, and made a fierce expression!
"I..." Rocket wanted to say something more.
Beep~ beep~ beep~!
Its scanner rang at this moment.
"Got a job!"
Rocket couldn't care about Seeing Seeing Alita anymore and hurriedly picked up the scanner to check—
Through the scanner, it discovered a man with naturally curly hair.
It was Star-Lord.
"Forty thousand bounty! I'm going to be rich!"
After seeing the bounty amount for Star-Lord, Rocket Raccoon's small eyes turned green, and it grinned, revealing its small, sharp teeth. "Hahaha! I'm going to buy a small arsenal!"
"Let's go quickly..." Seeing Seeing Alita felt that alien creatures were not very normal, tugged at Ye Li's sleeve, and wanted to go play somewhere else.
"Mm..." Ye Li nodded.
Although he knew Rocket Raccoon and Groot, the famous members of the Guardians of the Galaxy, he had no interest in dealing with them.
Coming to Xandar, besides wandering around, Ye Li's main purpose was to investigate alien customs and see if there was any possibility of spreading his divine name.
Of course, he didn't force it; he acted according to his mood.
On the other side.
Star-Lord tossed the Orb smugly and arrived at the broker's place to deliver the mission.. .
"The Orb, mission complete."
Bang~
The Orb was placed on the table in front of the broker by Star-Lord.
The old broker with a small goatee asked him, "Where's Yondu?"
"He wanted to come personally, but now he can only send his regards."
Star-Lord didn't feel guilty at all, and even joked with the broker, "He also asked me to tell you that your eyebrows are the coolest among your peers~"
The goatee broker rolled his eyes speechlessly, not wanting to argue with him about his fashionable eyebrows, and instead picked up the Orb to fiddle with it in a strange way.
Star-Lord watched curiously and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Customer's request."
The goatee broker raised his eyes. "And I cannot disclose the customer and their requirements."
"To get it, I went through life and death..."
Star-Lord nodded unhappily and said ironically, "So I can't even know what it's used for; that's really great."
"That's the risk in your line of work." The goatee broker had no intention of revealing anything.
"Fine..."
Star-Lord asked again, "A woman with a mechanical head, claiming to be Ronan's subordinate, wanted to snatch the Orb from me. Who are they?"
"Ronan?!"
Hearing this, the broker was shocked!
"I'm sorry, Mr. Quill, I'm really sorry."
The goatee broker hurriedly went around the counter and pushed Star-Lord out. "Any transaction involving Ronan is something I won't get involved in!"
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"
Star-Lord was pushed back repeatedly, asking in confusion, "Who is Ronan?"
"A Kree fanatic, angered by the peace treaty! He won't stop until the Xandarian civilization is completely wiped out!"
The goatee broker said fearfully and urgently, pushing Star-Lord out the door. "I can't afford to provoke someone like him!"
"Hey! No way, so I can afford to provoke him?" Star-Lord said unhappily.
Ding~!
The broker closed the door directly. "Goodbye forever, Mr. Quill!"
"..."
Star-Lord stood at the door, tossing the Orb in his hand speechlessly, not knowing what to do now...
When he turned his head unintentionally, he found a green-skinned woman eating something by the office door and couldn't help but look twice.
Seeing the target attracted, Gamora curled her lips into a smile and asked, "What's wrong?"
"This guy turned his back on his word; I hate men who don't keep their promises the most."
Star-Lord pointed at the office, complained about the broker, and then looked at Gamora, introducing himself, "Peter Quill, everyone calls me Star-Lord."
"I can see you're a gentleman." Gamora's smile deepened, and she walked toward him.
Star-Lord thought she wanted to shake hands and reached out one hand to her. "I'm not that good; everyone says that about me, but I usually don't praise myself like that."
Gamora didn't speak, but instead reached directly for the Orb in his other hand—
Slap~!
Very fast.
She snatched the Orb, kicked Star-Lord to the ground, and turned to run.
"Ow—!"
After a scream.
Star-Lord also hurriedly chased after her. "Hey! Stop!"
"It seems the people of Xandar don't believe in gods... but this national symbol is hung everywhere..."
Ye Li led Seeing Seeing Alita around, looking around, and found that the most common symbol on Xandar was an irregular star.
The top of the administrative building was like this, the Nova Corps helmets were like this, and even the patrol ships were shaped like stars emitting light.
"Forget it, let's go to the next stop. This universe seems to be just like this."
Ye Li found that his sense of novelty about alien planets was not as strong as he had expected.
Perhaps it was because his level was too high; the alien technology that was very powerful to ordinary people was insignificant in his eyes.
After going to Vormir to get the Soul Stone, maybe he could consider returning to Earth...
Mm... mainly because the appearances of these alien races were all strange... and there weren't any beautiful girls...
Just as he was thinking this, a green figure flashed past him—
[Gamora? Looking at this appearance... not the movie version, seems to be the comic version? ...]
Ye Li looked at Gamora's back and thought: [The facial features and figure are quite good, but... it's a pity she's still green-skinned...]
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~!
A red light cable whistled past at this moment, rotating and binding Gamora's feet.
Star-Lord followed closely behind and pounced on her. "Give it back to me!"
Bang!
Gamora quickly untied the restraint, lifted her leg, and kicked Star-Lord away—
Seeing Star-Lord chasing relentlessly, her eyes turned fierce, and she drew her blade, ready to stab him in the chest!
Ye Li watched from the side and raised an eyebrow: [For an orb shell, snatching it like this... is it really necessary...]
Whoosh~!
A raccoon suddenly pounced on Gamora's hair and shouted, "The bounty is mine! Groot, move fast!"
"I am Groot." Groot grew vines, ready to wrap around Gamora.
"Hey! Not her! Idiot! Distinguish the gender."
Rocket hurriedly pointed at Star-Lord. "Catch him! Catch him!"
Star-Lord was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly picked up the Orb that had rolled to the side, climbed up, and prepared to leave.
But just at this moment.
Wuennn~————!
Several tractor beams shrouded the area, causing Star-Lord, Gamora, Rocket, and Groot to all float.
"Subject 89P13, drop your weapons. In the name of the Nova Corps, you are under arrest!"
"Heh~ the farce is over, let's go too."
Ye Li shook his head and laughed, hugged Seeing Seeing Alita's shoulder, and prepared to leave.
Wuennn~————!
Two more beams shone over.
"And you two illegal aliens of unknown identity! Raise your hands too!!"
Ye Li: "..."

PS: Yanzu, can you accept green skin... leave a comment and say something. I see many people like She-Hulk... the comic version of Gamora seems okay, similar to She-Hulk... hehe.
