"Don't worry, my credit on this Planet, Diego, is well-known. Since I've taken your money, I will definitely bring you safely off this Planet!"
Tang Song withdrew his gaze, looked down at the Little Frog patting his chest, and felt this guy was quite interesting.
The reason he came to this Planet was because he had promised Rocket Raccoon to rescue his companions. Hmm, it seemed to be a Fox, a Rabbit, two litters of Porcupines, and what else? Just as his research had hit a bottleneck, he also came to this Planet to relax.
Swish swish swish, Tang Song played with a crystal cube in his Palm. The cube constantly changed shape in his Palm, emitting streaks of streaking light.
"Oh, a glowing crystal. What kind of treasure is this?"
Diego's eyes were fixed on the cube in Tang Song's Palm, saliva almost dripping out. He could feel that this cube wasn't some trick thing; it should be very valuable.
"A little thing I designed myself, not finished yet," The cube, only three inches in size, floated in Tang Song's Palm, sometimes transforming into a ball of flames, sometimes into a planet. Its magnificent appearance made the eyes of the few people around who saw it go straight.
Two people's eyes immediately changed, their gaze undisguised in their covetousness for this cube.
"Hey, if you don't want to die here, don't get any ideas!" Diego glared fiercely at the crowd, patted the energy gun at his waist, and threatened.
Then he looked up at Tang Song: "You'd better put this thing away, or be careful it gets stolen! You only paid for the Ship Ticket; I'm not obligated to protect you!"
After Diego finished speaking, he leaped onto a giant stone as he passed it, patrolling the team of refugees he had gathered.
After learning that his Homeworld was about to face the danger of destruction, Diego immediately returned home and gathered his relatives, including his seven aunts and eight uncles, and those few familiar strippers from the bar.
With a business mind, after asking Abad about the size of the Spaceship, he didn't forget to make a killing during the riot, finding some wealthy acquaintances and selling a batch of high-priced Ship Tickets.
As for the man named Tang, Rocket Raccoon, and the Treant, he picked them up along the way. He charged five hundred Galactic Credits for three Ship Tickets.
This price was already high on this resource depletion Mining Planet! But what truly made Diego look at them differently was that these three people actually produced Galactic Credits, instead of paying with Red Crystal Stone slag. One must know that on this Planet, only a few big merchants possessed Galactic Credits, the common currency. Everyone else in daily life used barter/exchange goods. On this Planet, the hard currency was actually the small granular Red Crystal Stone.
Those black-hearted merchants who came twice a year also came for these Red Crystal Stones; otherwise, they wouldn't come to this godforsaken Planet.
When the three of them took out Galactic Credits, Diego's first reaction was suspicion about their identity. But thinking about Abad, the guy he had known for over ten years, who had actually hidden a Spaceship.
Diego gave up the idea of digging deeper. Anyway, the money had been collected. In the face of the glittering Galactic Credits, any identity or origin was clearly not an issue.
"This guy seems alright! I like his style of doing things!"
Rocket Raccoon, who had been walking silently beside Tang Song, carrying a large Pulse Energy Gun on his back, looked back at the toad standing on the giant stone, then turned back and curled his lip at Tang Song.
"I am Groot!"
Beside Rocket Raccoon, the tall Groot wrapped Rocket Raccoon with his branches, placed him on his shoulder, and gently soothed him with his branches.
"You're in a bad mood. What are you worried about? Your companions!" Tang Song looked at the dejected Rocket Raccoon, raised his hand and stroked his head, earning a grimace from Rocket Raccoon.
"You don't understand. In that experiment environment, no creature could survive three rounds of experiments. I'm worried they already..." Rocket Raccoon's tone was a little low.
"Don't worry, your friends are fine. The High Evolutionary still needs them to lure you in!" Tang Song comforted Rocket Raccoon. He raised his head and looked at the Castle Spaceship overhead, which obscured the sky, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth: "Isn't he a Thug?! Interesting!"
Under Tang Song's comfort, Rocket Raccoon quickly returned to his nature. He stood on Groot's shoulder, resting the Pulse Energy Gun, which was thicker than his body, on his shoulder, and gazed at the Spaceship overhead. Judging by his grimacing posture, he seemed ready to rush up and settle the score with the High Evolutionary at any moment. However, thinking about the strength gap between them, Rocket Raccoon quickly lowered his head in disappointment.
When his gaze fell on Tang Song, he instantly perked up again. Tang had promised him he would help him rescue his people.
During his time working at Hive Laboratory, Rocket Raccoon had truly come to realize the terror of the man before him. Even the High Evolutionary was nothing compared to this man.
Suddenly, sitting on Groot's shoulder and being carried along, Rocket Raccoon saw a cloaked figure sneaking towards them. As a Great Thief of the Universe, he could tell at a glance that this guy's target was the cube in Tang's hand.
Rocket Raccoon immediately became energetic and directly raised the Pulse Energy Gun in his hand, firing a shot at this guy's feet.
The thick energy beam exploded directly at the thief's feet. The shockwave from the pulse beam explosion instantly sent the guy flying, throwing him into the crowd and causing a small riot.
"What's going on?" Abad the Cyborg, who had been leading the way at the front, stopped and pushed his way over. Looking at the thief who had fallen into the crowd, and then at Rocket Raccoon standing on Groot's shoulder, showing off with an energy cannon, his hand went directly to the energy sword hilt on his back.
"This guy tried to steal our things!" Rocket Raccoon looked at the green-skinned thief being helped up by the crowd and mocked with a grimace: "Hey, kid, when your Grandpa Rocket was roaming the Milky Way Galaxy, you didn't even know where you were. You dare to steal our things? You don't know life and death!"
Abad glanced at Rocket Raccoon and focused his attention on the cube Tang Song was holding. Clearly, this thing had caused the riot.
"I don't want to see you guys having conflict on my Spaceship. Take good care of your own things. If there's a next time, whether it's the one stealing or the one being stolen from, I won't allow you to step onto my Spaceship!"
Abad warned the crowd, exchanged a gaze with the arriving Diego, and hurried back to lead the way. This Planet was no longer a place to linger. Every minute they delayed increased the danger.
