The only player in the Marvel universe

Chapter 125 Honest Red Bean Bun

After obtaining the Cosmic Spirit Orb, Du Mu felt no emotion whatsoever.

This thing was so easy to get that I felt no sense of accomplishment.

Think about it on Earth, even a simple daily task like gathering intelligence would have a few guards on duty.

This Infinity Stone, which looks incredibly high-class, doesn't even have a single minor enemy to guard it, which is really a bit beneath its dignity.

Du Mu carefully put away the cosmic orb, and when he turned his head, he saw Quill looking sullen.

"Quill, the mission went pretty smoothly, so why are you looking so down?"

“I feel like I’m not very useful,” Quill complained.

He couldn't match Du Mu in terms of physical strength, and before he could even use his brain, he was restricted by his cerebellum. Now, even his professional skills have been surpassed by his opponent.

Quill felt like he was living in Du Mu's shadow!

Du Mu comforted him, "How could that be? Even a pair of underwear and a piece of toilet paper have their uses. For example, you, well, at least you have a very accurate understanding of yourself."

Forgive him for thinking for so long, but he really couldn't think of any good points about Quill.

Quill: "."

"Don't be upset, go catch some local wild game, as long as it's alive, we'll have a barbecue tonight."

"okay!"

Quill's gloom vanished instantly, and he happily ran off to catch some wild game.

To be honest, Quill does have his merits; at least he's good at hunting wild game.

In no time, he returned with more than a dozen wild animals, just as Du Mu had already started a fire on the spot.

Quill put the game on the ground and scratched his head: "Are you sure this stuff is edible?"

"It's okay, you can eat it as long as you remove the head."

Du Mu took out Bear Grylls' knife and disposed of all the strangely shaped heads of the wild animals, turning them into chunks of meat rich in protein.

He casually whittled a few thick pieces of wood, skewered the meat pieces into skewers, and placed them on the newly lit fire to grill.

Under the influence of the grilling skills, the meat chunks quickly changed. The meat, which originally had an eerie color, gradually turned into a dark brown color, with oil sizzling on the surface, and an aroma mixed with smoke and spices filled the air.

Strangely, Du Mu did not sprinkle any spices at all from beginning to end; he simply kept turning the skewers.

Quill stood there, dumbfounded.

It's magic! He added magic to it!

When the skewers turned a perfect brown color from being grilled over the flames, Du Mu immediately took them off.

[Morag Beast Roasted Meat: Consuming it can slightly increase agility and speed in underwater activities for a certain period of time.]

The effect is alright; at least it's a beneficial buff.

Du Mu gave Quill a skewer of barbecue, and the two of them happily ate it.

With the help of the roasting skill, the roasted meat of the Morag Star Beast is also extremely delicious, and it also has a unique ocean flavor, which is completely different from the roasted meat made from wild game in Vanaheim, each with its own unique flavor.

"You mean there are plenty of humans like you on Earth?"

"Yes, although most of them are not as strong as me, they all share the same sense of justice as me and fight to protect peace, which is why they are called superheroes."

Quill's lips twitched slightly.

If all of Earth's superheroes were like you, then Earth would be doomed.

"Moreover, we created a super league of heroes, and the name of the league is very fitting."

"Is it called the Earth Guardian Alliance?"

"No, it's called the 'Kick Nick Fury Alliance'."

"???"

Du Mu and Quill chatted and ate skewers, one after another, unable to stop.

Anyway, this kind of wild game is everywhere on Morag, so we can just catch more after we finish eating.

Just as they were finishing their meal, a sudden roar of engines came from the sky, and two spaceships with side wings pierced through the atmosphere and landed not far from them at an extremely high speed.

The spaceship's rear hatch suddenly opened, and a squad of fully armed alien soldiers rushed out, spreading out in a fan shape to surround the two people who were eating skewers.

The leader was a black man whose head was half replaced by machinery. He held a huge energy gun in his hand, and his cold gaze was fixed on the two men.

[NPC: Korath Sack]

Codename: The Chaser

[Favorability: -50]

[Evaluation: A member of the Kree Starforce, after being soundly beaten by a square-faced woman, he chose to abandon his sword for a gun, and comprehended the fragility of flesh and blood and the ascension of machinery, becoming a cyborg.]

"Don't move! Hands up!" Korath shouted sternly.

The alien soldiers around him raised their weapons and pointed them at the two men.

Du Mu chuckled: "There's a problem with your logic. Are you telling us to stay put, or to raise our hands?"

Kolas was clearly taken aback, obviously not expecting such a response.

After a brief pause, he became enraged and roared, "Hands up! Now!"

"Okay okay."

Du Mu and Quill finished the last piece of meat on their skewers before reluctantly raising their hands.

Wasting food is shameful!
Korath asked coldly, "Where is the cosmic orb?!"

"On him."

Du Mu pointed to Quill without hesitation.

Quill: "???"

Before he could argue, Korath suddenly waved his hand, and several alien soldiers rushed forward to lock him up.

It feels so familiar, like I just went through it not long ago.

However, the alien soldiers searched almost every inch of Quill's body but found nothing.

"Sir, we couldn't find it!" the alien soldier reported to Korath.

"How dare you fool me!"

Korath was furious and raised his energy gun to fire.

But Du Mu was even faster. He grabbed the alien soldier next to him and swung him around like a sandbag.

In the chaos, Korath had no time to dodge and was hit by the human cannonball, the two of them rolling around in a heap.

Quill also made a move, his foot thrusters spewing flames as he slid backward using the recoil, while simultaneously drawing two guns from his waist and firing at the alien soldiers.

"asshole!"

Korath shoved the alien soldier off him, scrambled to his feet, and pulled the trigger on his energy gun at Du Mu!
Bang! !

A scorching energy cannon shot out from the muzzle, heading straight for Du Mu!
Du Mu neither dodged nor evaded; a dark frying pan appeared out of thin air in his hand, precisely blocking the incoming energy cannon. The powerful energy cannon struck the pan, leaving not a mark, only wisps of smoke rising from it.

Korath looked incredulous and, refusing to believe it, kept pulling the trigger!

However, all the energy cannons were blocked by the frying pan in Du Mu's hand. The energy cannons, capable of easily melting metal, couldn't even scratch the frying pan, as if the game designers hadn't implemented damage feedback at all. The frying pan was indestructible and could withstand all gun attacks, making it arguably even stronger than Steve's shield.

The only drawback is that the frying pan is limited in size and cannot block damage over a large area.

If an energy cannon several meters thick were to strike, Du Mu's fate would probably be like sunbathing on the beach in his underwear—except for that area being white, the rest of him would be black.

"court death!"

Seeing Du Mu charging towards him, Kolas came to his senses and sneered.

Although he abandoned his most proficient dual swords and switched to firearms, he was still a Kree who survived close combat with a square-faced woman, and his physical body was further enhanced after the modifications.

He's not bragging, but even if he ran into that square-faced woman again, he could just stand there and let her punch him without uttering a sound!

Korath put down the energy gun, and with a gust of evil wind, his right fist smashed straight at Du Mu's face!

If that punch had landed properly, it probably would have dented even a steel plate.

Facing the punch that Korath was throwing, Du Mu did not dodge. Instead, he clenched his fist and met the punch head-on!
Bang!
Click!

A muffled thud followed by a clear cracking sound.

The next second, Kolas was hit like a hundred-ton king, his feet left the ground and he flew backward, crashing heavily to the ground.

"what----!"

Korath's entire right arm was bent at an unnatural angle, and he screamed in agony.

As it turns out, Du Mu was far more capable than the square-faced woman; he actually managed to get her to speak.

Du Mu picked up the energy gun that had fallen to the ground and pulled the trigger at the alien soldiers who were fighting Quill, quickly eliminating the fodder.

He then turned his gun towards Korath, who was still lying on the ground, and said, "Hands up! And don't move!"

Listen to this, now that's standard speaking!

With a livid face, under the threat of the gun, Kolas gritted his teeth and slowly raised his left hand.

Bang!
Du Mu stomped on his leg and broke it, cursing, "I told you to raise both hands, and you're just showing off with only one hand up, huh?"

Kolas: "."

Just then, Quill jogged over and reminded him, "Fellow villager, you broke his arm; he can't raise his hands."

Bang!
Du Mu kicked Kolas's intact hand again, breaking it: "Why didn't you say so earlier? Were you deliberately trying to embarrass me?"

Kolas: "."

Did you even give me a chance to speak?!
There was nothing he could do; it was Korath's fault for disturbing Du Mu's meal and for being so malicious from the start, resulting in a negative 50% favorability rating. Naturally, Du Mu wouldn't show him any mercy.

“State your identity and purpose.”

When Du Mu saw that Korath's review mentioned a member of the Kree Starfleet, who seemed to be someone of considerable importance, he thought it best to find out more to avoid being hunted down by some interstellar power.

If the other party's backing is indeed very strong, then they can't let this opportunity pass. He thinks that Molag Star is a very auspicious place, perfect for burying people.

Korath scoffed, "You think I'd tell you? Even if you kill me, I won't utter a single word. You can't pry my mouth open."

"is it?"

Du Mu turned to Quill and said, "Go, pry his mouth open!"

Upon hearing this, Quill quickly waved his hands and shrank back: "I can't do it. I'm only good at prying women open their mouths. I'm not good at men."

"What are you talking about? I told you to pry his mouth open with your hands."

"Ooh!"

Quill then realized what was happening and quickly stepped forward, pinching Koras's cheeks hard and forcing him to open his mouth.

Du Mu took out a red bean bun and, without saying a word, stuffed the whole thing into Coras's mouth.

Strangely, after the red bean bun was stuffed into his mouth, Korath uncontrollably made a swallowing motion, thus swallowing the red bean bun into his stomach.

Du Mu spoke again: "State your identity and purpose."

Just moments ago, Korath had been so defiant, but now his eyes were fixed on something, and his mouth was opening and closing as if out of his control.

“I am Corasak, a Kree, a follower of the great Accuser Ronan. I have come to Morag to search for the Orb of the Universe. Lord Ronan has ordered me to bring the Orb of the Universe back with me.”

He spoke quickly and clearly, but his face was full of terror, his eyes wide open, clearly not of his own volition.

Quill was shocked: "What did you feed him?"

"Honest Red Bean Bun".

[Item: Honesty Red Bean Bun (After eating the Honesty Red Bean Bun, you will uncontrollably tell the truth for one minute)]

Honesty is much better than truth serum, but its effect only lasts for a minute.

Du Mu wasted no time and immediately pressed on, "Who is Ronan? What does he want the Orb of the Universe for?"

Korath immediately replied, “Lord Ronan is the accuser of the Kree Empire. He is a fanatical Kree radical who refuses to accept the recent peace treaty signed between the Kree Empire and the Nova Corps and is attempting to destroy Xandar and its civilization.”

Stop talking nonsense!

Kolas tried to shut up, but he couldn't control his mouth and automatically answered Du Mu's question.

He wanted to smash his own jaw to stop them from continuing, but he couldn't. His hands and one leg were broken, leaving him with only one leg that he could use, and it lacked the flexibility to perform such a difficult move as kicking his own jaw to break.

Korath could only continue in despair, "Therefore, Lord Ronan reached an agreement with the Mad Titan Thanos: as long as he finds the Orb of the Universe for the other, Thanos is willing to help Lord Ronan destroy Xandar."

Thanos?

Du Mu was no stranger to this name.

The name is mentioned in the descriptions of both Loki's Scepter and the Tesseract, like a boss living in the background to make his presence known.

According to the usual plot formula, such big bosses usually appear in the later stages of the main storyline, so Du Mu doesn't need to worry about them.

While the effect of the honesty bun was still in effect, Du Mu asked several questions in succession, and Coras answered them honestly.

The good news is that the seemingly intimidating Kree Starfleet has long since disbanded; Korath said it was personally destroyed by a square-faced traitorous woman in the team.

The bad news is that Korath is backed by a powerful force. The Kree Empire is a vast and ancient alien empire, and Ronan, as one of its most prominent figures, holds considerable military power and commands countless ships.

I want it so badly! Oh no, it's terrifying!
Du Mu was satisfied with Coras's honesty and decided not to make things difficult for him any further, so he asked one last question.

"Tell me, how can I kill you without being discovered?"

Kolas: "."

Coras is dead.

He died from being too honest.

Du Mu sighed inwardly, lamenting that in this treacherous world, there was one less honest man like him.

He observed a symbolic half-second of silence, then waved his hand and said, "Quail, strip them of all their gear. We can finally make a sale today!"

"Wuhu!"

The two went back to their old ways, stripping all of Korath and the others of their equipment, and then went to their spaceship, looting everything of value.

Du Mu wasn't worried at all about being tracked.

Because Korath was an honest man, he had already revealed all the tracking devices and countermeasures on the spaceship.

After doing all this, the two destroyed the spaceship and the corpse, and with the Cosmic Orb and the dozen or so wild animals that Quill had casually caught, they boarded their own spaceship and quickly left Morag.
