Chapter 504 Rocket: I Will Jump From Here Today

Chapter 504 Rocket: I will jump from here today...

"Is my name already known to Asgard?"

Hearing Rocket's question, Thor looked at the guy carefully, then turned to look at Leni. After getting a positive nod from the latter, he gave up the struggle as if he was resigned to his fate.

"That's not true, but we have indeed heard of you, and this time we came to Xandar specifically to visit you."

"Visit? Me?"

He didn't expect that the other party would give such an answer, and Rocket was stunned when he heard this.

Have you been complained or reported by someone? Can't? You're always very clean when you do it yourself, right?

Unable to help but become wary of the intentions of Thor and others, Rocket tightened the gun belt he was carrying.

"Yes, we ran into some trouble. I heard that a man named Rocket has extraordinary wisdom, so I came here to ask for help, but I didn't expect..."

Realizing the offense in his words, Thor hurriedly paused and was about to find an excuse to excuse himself, but it was too late.

"You didn't expect me to be so honorable?"

Rocket stared at the three Thors, and the expression on his face completely changed at this moment.

"Oh, you go, I won't help you."

Although he felt a little heartbroken about missing out on the 150 million reward, Rocket didn't care.

"this……"

Unexpectedly, the other party would say that, and Sol was at a loss for a moment.

But when he thought that Jane was still waiting for him to bring back the good news, Sol couldn't help but secretly made up his mind.

"I...Mr. Rocket, I apologize to you for being unreasonable just now. I hope you can forgive me for my gaffe."

Kneeling on one knee so that the other party could talk to him more easily, Sol's sincere eyes met Rocket's.

"My lover, Jane Foster, touched a taboo not long ago. A being called ether particles invaded her body and continued to absorb her life force. Our Asgardian healer "We couldn't get it out of Jane's body, so we had to find other ways."

Rocket's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this, and he noticed the special term [ether particle] in Thor's mouth.

"Then we heard that there is a genius with extremely high intelligence in the universe. He understands the mysterious technologies on many planets in this vast universe, so we came here to ask for your help."

Being stared at by Sol's burning gaze, Rocket couldn't refuse or agree for a moment, so he had to turn away and look behind Sol.

Although he was very interested in the mysterious forbidden substance that Thor mentioned, he was not the kind of person who liked to cause trouble for himself.

As for what Saul said, Rocket knew it was very troublesome.

The mysterious taboo [etheric particles] and super troublesome things made Rocket hesitate a little.

"I'm Groot."

Groot on the side thought he could do them a favor.

"No, these are two different things, and we have other things to do!"

After rejecting Groot, Rocket still didn't quite believe what Thor said.

"What's more, do you think these two women are destined to die soon?"

Since Saul didn't have time to introduce Leni's identity just now, Rocket subconsciously thought that the "Jane Foster" Saul mentioned was one of them.

But no matter how Rocket looked, he couldn't see any signs of life-threatening danger in these two people.

Seeing that there was a misunderstanding, Sol, who noticed that the other party was relenting, hurriedly explained.

"No, no, no, they are not Jane. Jane is still in Asgard. We are worried that her body did not bring her here, so..."

"Huh? Are you kidding me? You want me to help you solve your woman's problems, but then you don't bring her to me. Do you want me to put down a lot of good money and not make it? Going all the way to Asgard with you?"

The Rockets made no secret of their disgust.

"In my opinion, you are the one who needs to see a doctor more. Let's go, Groot!"

"I am, Groot."

Groot was a little embarrassed, so he had to say sorry to Thor, got up and planned to leave with Rocket.

"Please, I beg you..."

"Okay, Thor, since they don't want to help, we can't force them. But in this case, the gifts we prepared don't count. Let's find an auction house to sell them later."

Holding Sol who wanted to say more, Leni curved her lips slightly and reached out to take out her own piece of the energy core of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube from the void at the side.

As soon as the metal cube emitting a faint blue light appeared, it instantly attracted the attention of people around the square.

Some people were interested in the energy core in Leni's hand, while others were surprised by Leni's ability to wave space before waving her hand.

As if he noticed something strange about the people around him, Rocket's ears twitched and he turned slightly to glance at the thing in Leni's hand.

However, just at this glance, he couldn't take his eyes away...

Sensing that the other party had taken the bait, Leni quickly put away the smile on her face and replaced it with a regretful expression.

"Let's go. If it doesn't work out, let's go to other places to inquire. Maybe we can find someone more powerful than him who is willing to help us."

After receiving the look from Leni, Sol was not a pig-headed person. He immediately stood up with Leni's support and looked worried, planning to go elsewhere.

"Hmm! Wait a minute!"

As expected, before the two of them took a few steps out, the sound of Rocket coughing could be heard behind them.

Looking at each other without leaving any trace, Leni and the two turned back to look at Rocket with puzzled faces.

"Is there anything else?"

Seemingly embarrassed by his change of heart, Rocket looked away and said:

"I just thought about it carefully. You can make money at any time, but you still have to save people if you can, so..."

"I'm Groot."

Unexpectedly, Groot would expose himself. Rocket's face suddenly looked like he was embarrassed and his mother opened the door for him. He was so embarrassed.

The angry Rocket angrily kicked Groot's knee.

"Don't interrupt when I'm talking!"

"I am Groot..."

After a brief moment of embarrassment, the Rockets stopped pretending and simply showed off their cards and negotiated the price with Sol.

"As for me, I always pay for things. I can help you, but not for free, so you have to pay to make up for us. You must know that we are very busy, and we can make millions every minute..."

All in all, what the Rockets mean is that they can help, but they have to pay.

And this is exactly what Leni and others wanted.

"Of course, no problem! We won't let you down!"

…

The plan went smoothly. The three of Leni, who successfully caught the big fish Rocket, smiled at each other tacitly, and then took the former out of the square and found a secluded place to talk in detail.

"I forgot to introduce you just now. These two are the Avengers from Midgard, Leni Stark, and Mester El...Eltikh."

I also feel that Mestre's surname is a bit difficult to pronounce, and Sol also stumbled a bit when introducing Mestre. He didn't have much contact with Mestre, and he always called each other by his first name when they met, so for Alti He's surname is not particularly familiar.

"Just call me Meister."

Clearly, Mester is used to this kind of situation.

It's just that Rocket doesn't seem to particularly care about the name, but pays attention to another noun in Sol's words.

"What are Avengers?"

"It's another new word. Why do these guys always come up with names that don't make sense?"

As for the meaning of the word "Avenger", Thor was not easy to explain, so he had to turn his attention to Leni.

"Let me tell you, we are a special organization established to protect the Earth, the Midgard you are familiar with, from being invaded by evil alien civilizations. Not long ago, we just fought a battle with a Chitauri flagship vanguard army. One game, we narrowly won.”

After giving a concise explanation in words Rocket could understand better, Leni immediately changed the topic back to business.

"But that's not important, let's talk about business."

In front of the two Rockets, Leni unabashedly opened her space warehouse again and took out a holographic tablet.

Then under their astonished gazes, a video was called up. What was recorded above was the scene where Simmons checked Jane's arm for abnormal energy when he was on Earth.

"This is an abnormality we discovered when we examined Jane. Her arm contains an extremely powerful energy and is absorbing Jane's life force all the time. We want to ask you to peel it out."

However, at this moment, Rocket not only did not look at the holographic screen, but stared at Leni's hands with burning eyes.

"Are you selling your hands?"

Noticing Rocket's longing eyes staring at her hands, Leni, who knew the inside story through her memory, couldn't help but laugh.

"Sorry, this is not for sale."

"Whatever you ask for, as long as I can do it, let alone doing a favor, I can do anything to help you kill someone!"

The Rockets still want to persist, after all, this is a very important thing to him.

However, the one who responded to him was still Leni's smiling yet firm expression.

"no."

Helpless, Rocket could only reluctantly give up and turn to carefully study the video in front of him.

"This energy is very special. You called it ether particles before?"

"Yes, this is a name passed down from my grandfather's time."

Thor nodded and told the two rockets about the past events about Grandpa Bol and the dark elves, which made the latter frown.

"So, this ether particle is indeed an incredible thing, but since even you Asgard can't handle it, why do you think I can do it?"

In this regard, Sol turned his attention to Leni again, after all, this idea was hers.

"Because I believe you."

A mysterious smile appeared on Leni's face, and she gave an absurd explanation.

Rocket was slightly stunned after hearing this, and several familiar figures could not help but appear in his mind.

"It's a joke, I don't even believe myself."

Shaking his head, Rocket returned to his senses and shook off the complicated memories in his mind, and did not continue to dwell on the issue just now.

Since the other party didn't want to talk, he didn't bother to ask any more.

"I can help you, but I can't guarantee that I can solve this problem. You'd better not have too much hope. Besides..."

Rocket's tone paused, and a treacherous expression appeared on Luo Ji's face.

"Besides, whether the matter is successful or not, you have to pay us first."

"No problem, this is a small matter. He is the prince of Asgard. Are you afraid that he will default on his debt?"

However, Rocket was not afraid that Thor would default on his debt, but had other intentions.

"Of course not, but I want the thing you took out earlier!"

That's right, Rocket was thinking of the bait that Leni had just used to catch his big fish, the cosmic magic energy core.

Having expected that the other party would come up with this idea, Leni smiled cunningly.

"Sorry, that is also not for sale."

Rocket was stunned when he heard this, and then he got angry. He slammed the table and was about to scold, but Leni suddenly changed the subject.

"But I can give you another similar thing."

Leni smiled lightly and reached into the void again. This time, she could slow down the action of taking things out, which satisfied Rocket's appetite.

Finally, just when Rocket was about to get angry because of Leni's slow movements, Leni took out a blue crystal that exuded the energy of the dark blue space gem.

[Space Blue Small Crystal]: A special small crystal containing the energy of the space gem.

"This is the energy extract of the energy core you saw just now. The energy level is about one twentieth of the former. As for its use, I don't think I need to explain it more."

Smiling, he pushed the small crystal in front of Rocket as a deposit for hiring the other party to help.

"I am Groot?"

Groot leaned down curiously and carefully observed the small crystal, then turned to look at Rocket.

Rocket pondered and did not immediately take the small crystal on the table, but stared at Leni with a solemn expression.

"How many of these do you have?"

"Probably, there are still a dozen left."

He thought to himself, as expected, since the other party was so generous to give this thing to him, he must have some in his hand!

Rocket thought of this and simply put the crystal into his arms, then said:

"I want all the crystals in your hand!"

At this point, Leni knew that the matter was settled, but her face did not show any flaws.

"How can that be? I also need this thing. I can give you another one at most."

"No, at least ten..."

Finally, after asking for a high price and paying it back on the spot, Leni successfully won Rocket's assistance at the price of 4 small blue crystals.

And at the other party's repeated request, she handed over another small crystal as a deposit.

"Okay, in this case, when do we set off? And where is your spaceship? Taking our spaceship is another price."

Before he had time to break away from the professional habits of a bounty hunter, Rocket subconsciously became concerned about the travel issues of this operation.

After all, Xandar is too far away from Asgard. If there is no reliable spaceship, it may be too late for them to rush back.

But this sounded a bit strange to Thor. What a joke. When has he ever taken a spaceship?

"No, we don't ride those slow things."

Let's leave it like this for today. As Orange was writing, he felt that there was a deviation from the outline. Orange needed to reorganize it a little.
