The only player in the Marvel universe

Chapter 122 Fellow villagers meet, then a bullet is fired from behind!
puff!

The cabin door hissed as Du Mu slowly stepped out of the spaceship, followed closely by his adjutant, Skorch.

This time, instead of holding a speaker, he was carrying two oddly shaped guns.

The spaceship's built-in amplification system was much more effective than the speakers, so he lost his sole purpose and simply used the two spoils he had chosen as his henchmen.

With Skorch, that ugly bastard, as a foil, Quill could tell at a glance that Du Mu was the one in charge here.

He quickly forced what he thought was his friendliest smile and called out to Du Mu, "Brother, it's all a misunderstanding! I'm just a handsome guy passing by!"

"Hmph, a complete liar, strip him naked."

Du Mu waved his hand dismissively.

Before Quill could react, he was tackled to the ground by seven or eight Asgardian giants. In an instant, he was covered in men, and within half a minute, he was stripped down to only his striped underwear.

He was filled with grief and indignation, clutching the last piece of cloth covering his body, determined to preserve his chastity even at the cost of his life.

Du Mu glanced at Quill's information.

[NPC: Peter Quill]

Codename: Star-Lord

[Favorability: -10]

[Review: A godlike being on par with mortals, his biological father is a complete idiot, loves awkward dancing, killed his father, single-handedly orchestrated the plot of Avengers: Endgame, and is the biggest contributor to Marvel's billions in box office revenue.]

Another idiot!
Upon seeing this evaluation, Du Mu gained a general impression of Quill.

This was the first time he had ever seen someone labeled with so many negative terms.

Du Mu examined the things that Quill had been taken off and found a Walkman among them, which turned out to be a well-known brand from Earth.

Du Mu raised an eyebrow: "Are you from Earth?"

Quill paused for a moment upon hearing this, then immediately nodded and said, "Yes, I am an Earthling."

Du Mu asked curiously, "How did you, an Earthling, become a raider?"

Quill quickly shook his head: "I'm really not a Raider, even though I'm wearing Raider clothes, flying a Raider ship, and have Raider equipment on me."

He stopped talking as he was speaking; this guy was clearly a plunderer!

Fortunately, Du Mu didn't dwell on his identity and asked, "Who are you, and what brings you to Vanaheim?"

“My name is Peter Quill. You may not have heard of that name, but you should have heard of my other name, Star-Lord!”

"Have not heard."

"."

Quill was a little embarrassed and explained, "I'm a notorious space pirate. I took on a mission with the raiders to exchange space currency with them in Vanaheim."

"You're looking for the raiders?"

Du Mu chuckled and said, "Then you're too late. The raiders in Vanaheim have already lost contact."

Quill was taken aback: "Huh? They left so quickly?"

"No, we've raided dozens of their teams. Now the raiders in Vanaheim are almost wiped out. The rest have either gone into hiding or simply run away. Only you, you idiot, responded to us and even delivered yourself to our doorstep."

Quill: "."

He finally understood why he hadn't seen a single raider along the way, only to find out that these unknown guys had taken him down.

Vanaheim, which was perfectly fine, has turned into a dark forest. If he had known it was this dangerous, he wouldn't have come.

Quill was filled with remorse.

But he also realized just how formidable these guys were.

Although the raiders were a bunch of wicked bastards, they were still one of the top armed groups in the interstellar space. However, the raiders in Vanaheim were almost completely wiped out by them.

This is trouble!
As Quill was figuring out how to escape, he heard Du Mu ask, "By the way, I heard you mention a mission earlier. Where did you get it from?"

"Uh, I have a special channel that allows me to view missions and bounties on the interstellar dark web."

"Open it and let me see."

At Du Mu's prompting, Quill took out a transparent screen from his equipment.

As he operated the system, various tasks quickly appeared, such as eliminating a certain interstellar monster or collecting rare materials from a certain planet, much like Earth's dark web.

Du Mu randomly clicked to accept a task.

Unfortunately, just like the dark web on Earth, these cannot trigger game missions.

"It's boring."

Du Mu pursed his lips, then opened the bounty page.

Photos of various wanted criminals popped up on the screen instantly, which broadened Du Mu's horizons and truly showed him the diversity of the game's character models. Even Red Devil was considered to be relatively handsome in the game.

As Du Mu scrolled down, he saw many dangerous interstellar wanted criminals, each with an extremely high bounty listed below their portrait.

Suddenly, he saw a familiar profile picture and quickly clicked on it.

“Hey, Quill, that guy up there looks just like you. He has a 5000 Star Coin bounty on him. The bounty hunter is Yondu Udonta.”

Quill said in a serious tone, "It's probably just a face resemblance. I don't know any Yondu at all."

"Even your name is the same as mine."

"Really? Hahaha, what a coincidence."

"Yes, what a coincidence."

Du Mu smiled slightly, waved his hand and shouted, "Tie him up, contact the bounty hunter, today I can finally get some business!"

Quill: "."

Seeing that he was about to be covered in burly men again, Quill quickly said, "Wait, I can redeem myself with money!"

Du Mu laughed: "That's hilarious. You're only wearing your underwear now, where are you going to get money?"

It was still taken by you guys!
Quill's lips twitched: "Then I'll use my spaceship to redeem you, okay?"

Du Mu's face darkened: "Watch your words, that's my spaceship."

Quill: "."

Having followed Yondu, this raider, for many years, he finally saw what a real bandit was like.

I am truly ashamed!

Quill didn't want to be taken back to Yondu, so in desperation he shouted, "I know Yondu recently landed a big job worth millions of Star Dollars. We can skip Yondu and complete the task, getting the reward from the broker."

NPC Peter Quill has given you a new quest.

[Mission: Cosmic Orb]

[Objective: Assist Quill in obtaining the Orb of the Universe and deliver it to the broker.]

[Rewards: 2000 experience points, 1 random piece of equipment, 1 random item]

"Stop!"

Du Mu raised his hand to stop the Asgardian warrior's movements, a kind smile appearing on his face. "Oh dear, you should have said so earlier. Actually, I'm also an Earthling. We're all from the same planet. When fellow countrymen meet, tears well up in their eyes. How could I really hand you over to an alien?"

In the past, if Quill had heard that the other party was from Earth, he would have been somewhat excited.

After all, Earth is his home planet. Ever since he was forcibly taken away from Earth by his adoptive father Yondu when he was a child, he has been drifting in the universe for more than 20 years and can hardly remember what Earth looks like.

Although the entire universe speaks English, real Earthlings are extremely rare in interstellar space.

But he never expected that his first encounter with an Earthling would end like this.

This isn't the kind of heartwarming scene of fellow villagers meeting and tears welling up in their eyes; it's more like a fellow villager meeting and getting stabbed in the back!
"Since we're all from the same hometown, could you please return my belongings to me?" Quill asked cautiously.

"of course can."

Du Mu also looked down on Quill's possessions, as he had nothing of value on him and described him as a poor wretch.

Of course, don't expect the spaceship to be returned; even if it's dismantled, it's worth a lot of money.

After Quill pulled his pants back on, he finally felt a bit safer and leaned closer to ask tentatively, "Hey buddy, when are we setting off to steal Yondu's mission?"

He's figured it out: if he can't beat them, he might as well join them.

Du Mu's group can even exploit raiders. By clinging to this powerful figure for now, they at least don't have to worry about Yondu coming after them or the interstellar bounty hunters attracted by the bounty.

Du Mu casually said, "What's the rush? Let's wait until we've quelled the turmoil in the Nine Realms."

"To quell the turmoil in the Nine Realms?"

Quill blinked. This sounded pretty impressive, and he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Fellow countryman, if I may ask, who exactly are you people?"

Du Mu declared with righteous indignation: "Can't you tell? We are a righteous army dedicated to upholding peace in the Nine Realms!"

Quill: "."

I'm sorry, I really couldn't tell.

Afterwards, Du Mu took Quill aboard the spaceship and instructed Skorch to keep an eye on him, and to break his third leg if he showed any signs of escaping.

Quill: "."

Earthlings are terrifying, I want to go back to Yondu.

This threat was very useful. Quill, who had been thinking about finding a chance to escape, became completely obedient. He would never risk running away unless he was 100% sure of success.

Even a 99% success rate is not enough!
With Quill's initial success, more raider squadrons soon contacted them, and with Du Mu's order, dozens of raider ships set off in a grand procession.

However, Du Mu and his group's operation did not go entirely smoothly.

Among them were also many plunderers who valued money over their lives and launched counterattacks against the plunderer squads.

Then there is no more.

The raider squadron consisted of dozens of ships, and a single raider team posed no threat whatsoever to them. They easily wiped them out, and the barrage of attacks filled the screen.

Quill secretly rejoiced that he had knelt down quickly enough, otherwise his fate would probably not have been much better.

He didn't react much to what happened to the raiders.

Although Quill had been hanging around Yondu’s raider gang ever since he was kidnapped, he didn’t have much affection for these raiders. They did almost everything except prohibit child trafficking.

Even a lawless outlaw like him, with a flexible moral compass, couldn't stand their actions, which is why he tried so hard to break away and start his own business.

As Du Mu and his raiding squad grew larger and larger like a snowball, their whereabouts became increasingly difficult to conceal.

The various raider squads that were originally hiding in Vanaheim somehow managed to make contact with each other, banded together for mutual support, and even launched an offensive against Du Mu and his group.

Ultimately, it was because Du Mu and his group had seized far too many resources!
After wiping out dozens of raider squads in succession, their squad was practically a mobile gold mine.

It was this enormous wealth that prevented these raider squads from fleeing Vanaheim, and instead led them to unite against the raider squads.

Of course, on the surface, they still had to put on an act, raising the banner of revenge for their peers and forming a raiding alliance to show the whole universe how united and friendly they were.

As for the legacy left by their peers, they could only reluctantly accept it.

These raiders have quite the imagination.

However, when they received the signal from Du Mu and rushed to the designated coordinates in their spaceships with murderous intent, they found that there was nothing there, not even a ghost in sight.

Buhou! We've fallen for their trap!

Unfortunately it was too late.

Before they could even turn their ships around, dozens of spaceships suddenly appeared from all directions, and a barrage of fire poured in like water!

Boom! !

The Plunderer Alliance was immediately turned into a sitting duck. Its shields flickered a few times before collapsing completely, and the ship was blasted open one after another, spinning in the air with black smoke billowing out.

"Abandon ship! Land in the forest below!"

The remaining raider leaders shouted at the top of their lungs.

They plunged into the primeval forests of Wanaheim, abandoned ship, and tried to evade pursuit by using the dense vegetation.

Upon seeing this, Du Mu did not order a barrage of fire.

In his eyes, these were all his resources, and damaging them would be a huge loss.

"All personnel land and pursue!"

At Du Mu's command, dozens of spaceships followed the fleeing raiders and landed steadily in a clearing in the forest.

As soon as the hatch opened, three hundred fully armed Asgardian warriors shot out like arrows.

These battle-hardened warriors were incredibly fast; their heavy equipment did not hinder their agility in the slightest. They moved through the forest as if it were flat ground, and in no time they caught up with the fleeing remnants of the raiders.

"Fuck! Fight them!"

With no way to escape, the remaining raiders steeled themselves, turned around, and raised all sorts of firearms, unleashing a hail of bullets at the pursuing Asgardian warriors!
A barrage of energy bullets rained down instantly!

The Asgardian warriors remained calm, raising their shields and instantly activating a massive energy shield that impenetrably blocked all incoming energy bullets, even those aimed at the feet.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, 299 Asgardian warriors rushed in front of the raiders, grabbed their spears, and engaged them in battle.

As for why there are 299...

Because Skorch was armed with two high-tech rifles, he engaged the raiders in close combat.

Since he acquired these two treasures, it's like opening the door to a new world. He even threw his beloved axe to the back of his mind, switching from melee combat to ranged melee combat, perfectly demonstrating what it means to be fast and accurate with a gun within ten steps!
However, these raiders were indeed numerous and powerful, a dark mass that outnumbered three hundred Asgardian warriors.

Du Mu stood at the back watching the battle and waved to Quill, who was swaying to the background music next to him.

"Stop jumping, go and lend a hand."

Quill scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed: "Fellow countryman, I used to be one of the raiders too. It's not really appropriate to stab someone in the back like this."

Although he disapproved of their behavior, it didn't mean he was willing to help deal with the raiders.

Du Mu waved his hand: "After the battle, you can choose some spoils of war."

Quill's eyes hardened instantly, and he declared righteously, "The raiders commit countless evils and deserve to be killed by everyone! I'm determined to help them with this!"

"Aren't you afraid of being accused of stabbing someone in the back?"

"I don't trust outsiders to stab me; of course, it has to be me, one of my own, who does it!"
