The only player in the Marvel universe

Chapter 127 What kind of acting skills?

At this moment, blocking Du Mu's way was a slender, green-skinned woman.

Aside from the gender and body type being different, she's basically a female version of Hulk, even the shade of green in her outfit is almost the same.

[NPC: Gamora Jeanne Hubelli Ben Titan]

【Favourability: 0】

[Evaluation: Thanos's daughter, the most dangerous woman in the universe, skilled in deadly attacks, Star-Lord's lover, the woman who made Star-Lord fight in Avengers: Endgame]

The person in front of me is Thanos's daughter.

Du Mu was a little surprised, and judging from the reviews, this mini version of She-Hulk had gotten together with that guy Quill.

So, Thanos, the mastermind behind everything, became Quill's father-in-law?
Who is Hulk?

Gamora frowned slightly upon hearing Du Mu's words.

"Hulk is a small guy with a timid personality and a good temper, and his skin color is as healthy as yours," Du Mu said casually.

Quill, who had been following Du Mu around incessantly demanding the spell be lifted, suddenly became excited—no, thrilled—the moment he saw Gamora.

It turns out Du Mu really wasn't lying to me!
Quill rallied and said to Gamora, "Hello, ma'am, I'm Peter Quill, everyone calls me Star-Lord. What can I do for you?"

Gamora smiled knowingly. "It's like this, I've lost something very important, and I'd like to ask you for a favor."

"Oh? What is it? I'm an expert in this area."

Quill's eyes lit up, and he eagerly took a step closer.

"This is it."

Gamora was speaking when, without warning, she raised her leg and delivered a fatal blow to Quill.

"Ow-!!"

Quill's face instantly turned a deep purplish-red, he clutched his groin tightly with both hands, twisted his legs inward, and curled up on his knees.

She truly deserves the title of the most dangerous woman in the universe; her level of danger is practically nuclear-level for men.

Immediately afterwards, Gamora pulled out a uniquely shaped high-tech sword hilt, and the blade instantly popped out, pressing directly against Quill's neck.

"Hand over the Orb of the Universe! Or I'll kill him!" Gamora shouted at Du Mu.
Du Mu laughed: "I've only just met him, what's the point of threatening me with him?"

"Don't give me that! I know you're in cahoots. Hand over the Cosmic Orb, or I'll send him on his way right now!"

Gamora frowned, pressing her sword down slightly, leaving a faint red mark on Quill's skin.

"She's serious, fellow countryman! We're all Earthlings, you absolutely can't just stand by and watch her die!" Quill's voice trembled with fear, and he stiffened his neck, too afraid to move.

Du Mu pulled out the Golden Desert Eagle and pointed it at Quell in front of Gamora.

"Good brother, go in peace. I promise to avenge you. After you're gone, I'll inherit your estate properly. If you have any beautiful girlfriends, give me their contact information now, and I'll take good care of them."

"Are you even speaking human language?!"

Quill's eyes widened in anger, and he almost choked on his breath.

He turned to Gamora and shouted, "I know this guy's personality. He'll really kill you and me together, then inherit my fortune and my girlfriend. Oh no, I don't have a girlfriend, I'm still single. Anyway, why don't we team up and fight him!"

Gamora: "."

Are there some kind of problems with the brains of you Earthlings?
But having served as an intergalactic assassin under Thanos for so many years, she was extremely perceptive of danger.

At this moment, Gamora could feel an almost tangible danger emanating from Du Mu, and the way he held the gun was terrifyingly steady, with not a trace of hesitation or wavering in his eyes!

It's obvious that this guy is really capable of doing this!
madman!

Gamora cursed inwardly, then made a decisive move, kicking Quill towards Du Mu.

Taking advantage of the moment when Du Mu's vision was completely blocked by Quill, Gamora sprang up like a cheetah, her longsword slicing through the air with a sharp whooshing sound, aiming straight for Du Mu's right shoulder where he was holding a gun!

Clang!
The crisp sound of metal clashing echoed in my ears.

The golden desert eagle in Du Mu's hand had somehow transformed into an ancient-looking longsword, which steadily blocked Gamora's swift thrust.

The recoil from the sword made Gamora's arm go slightly numb.

A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes; she clearly hadn't expected Du Mu to be able to switch weapons out of thin air and even block the high-tech sword that Thanos had specially crafted for her.

You should know that this sword is made of a special alloy, and it can cut ordinary metals as easily as cutting tofu.

What Gamora didn't know was that the sword in Du Mu's hand was one he had taken from Sif, and in terms of sharpness and sturdiness, it was considered a top-tier weapon in the entire interstellar space.

Despite missing her first attack, Gamora did not stop and charged forward again, launching a fierce offensive against Du Mu!
It must be said that her combat skills are indeed quite good.

Although she also uses a sword, every move she makes exudes the ruthlessness honed through years of real combat experience, clearly surpassing Du Mu's basic one-handed sword skills by more than one level.

However, Du Mu remained in control, his superior skills outweighing Gamora's attacks, allowing him to easily block all of Gamora's offensive.

Seeing that conventional attacks were completely ineffective, Gamora's eyes narrowed. She feinted forward with her longsword, but then suddenly swung her left leg upward, using her signature move, Fatal Strike, on Du Mu!

But Du Mu was prepared; he crossed his legs and clamped her ankle between them.

"You despicable scoundrel, you want to use such a low-down trick a second time? Take this!"

Du Mu snorted coldly and raised his longsword high in his right hand to slash at Gamora.

Gamora quickly parried with her sword, but Du Mu was just feinting and actually punched her in the chest with his left fist!

Bang!
With a muffled thud, Gamora was sent flying backward, her back slamming heavily onto the ground, causing her blood to surge.

Quill finally recovered and, seeing this scene, sighed inwardly at how malicious these people were, even in battle they used all sorts of tricks. Simple, kind, and honest people like him were becoming increasingly rare in the universe.

He moved closer to Du Mu, patting his chest with lingering fear: "Fellow villager, I really owe you a lot just now. Your acting was so realistic, you acted like you were really going to kill me, and you even fooled that green-skinned girl, which allowed me to escape."

Du Mu looked bewildered: "Huh? What acting skills?"

Quill: "???"

Just then, a furry figure descended from the sky and landed on Quill's head.

"Hahaha! I've got 40,000 Cosmic Coins!"

Du Mu raised an eyebrow and discovered that the furry figure was actually a dried noodle.

[NPC: Rocket]

Codename: Rocket Raccoon

【Favourability: 0】

[Review: Instant noodles, Groot's partner, one of the most intelligent life forms in the universe]

The universe is truly vast and full of wonders.

Even instant noodles can talk now, and they're one of the most intelligent organisms in the universe. I just wonder who has the higher IQ, this little thing or Tony.
If Tony wins, he's smarter than a raccoon; if he loses, even a raccoon is smarter than him.

Well, it seems Tony is at a loss regardless of winning or losing.

At the same time, a tall figure slowly walked past Du Mu. It was a tree-man with limbs and facial features, and its bark-like skin was covered with a few tender leaves.

[NPC: Groot]

【Favourability: 0】

[Evaluation: I am Groot, I am Groot, I am Groot, I am Groot.]

Du Mu could barely recognize how to write the three characters "Groot" anymore.

Rocket bounced wildly on Quill's head, yelling, "Groot, stop dawdling! Tie this valuable guy up! We're going to be rich!"

"I'm Groot."

Groot stretched out his arms and immediately used Wood Release. Countless tiny branches instantly grew out, binding Quill like a mummy, with only his head sticking out.

It was obvious they were all there because of Quill's bounty. Quill was on the verge of tears.

What did he do to deserve this? Why is everyone coming to cause him trouble?

Quill's eyes hardened. "They're all bullying me, aren't they? Looks like it's time to use my trump card!"

"Fellow villager, save me—!!"

Quill's howl was so heart-wrenching, it was even more tragic than if his own father had died.

"Alright, alright, stop howling!"

Du Mu looked disgusted, casually swung his longsword, and the branches wrapped around Quill snapped off and fell to the ground with a clatter.

Quill finally broke free of his restraints, and the first thing he did was grab the rocket that was still bouncing above his head and throw it away.

Rocket nimbly somersaulted in mid-air and landed on Groot's shoulder, waving its little paws angrily.

"You idiot, you almost made me fall!"

Only then did Quill truly see what Rocket looked like, and exclaimed in surprise, "Wait, a talking raccoon?"

"What raccoon? What nonsense are you talking about?"

The Rockets looked completely bewildered, having no idea what Quill was saying.

Having wandered through interstellar space for many years, Rocket had never met his own kind and had no idea that his race was called raccoons on Earth. Only Du Mu and Quill, two Earthlings, knew about Rocket's species.

But he didn't pay too much attention, drew a gun that was bigger than him from behind, and looked at Du Mu warily.

"Groot, be careful, the man next to that idiot is dangerous."

"I'm Groot."

"Don't worry about that idiot, he's less dangerous than you."

"I'm Groot."

"Okay, okay, I understand. I shouldn't have compared you to that idiot; it was an insult to you."

Both Rockets and Groot focused their attention on Durant, completely ignoring Quill.

Quill: "."

Who's the fool? It's definitely not me!

Du Mu chuckled; it seemed everyone shared the same first impression of Quill.

Watching Rocket and Groot interact, he couldn't help but marvel: "Raccoon and Tree Man, if you two, this natural duo, went to America, you might get the treatment of Celestial Dragons."

You know, those animal rights and environmental organizations in the United States are all pretty obsessed.

If you saw a talking raccoon or a walking tree, you'd probably want to treat them like royalty and then use them to make a fortune!
Groot spoke: "I am Groot."

Du Mu replied very naturally: "Tianlongren means superior people."

"I'm Groot."

"I know you're a tree, or something like that."

Watching Du Mu and Groot exchange words fluently, Quill and Rocket were stunned.

Quill's eyes widened: "Fellow villager, this tree-man keeps saying the same thing over and over again, how do you manage to understand so many layers of meaning?"

Du Mu explained, "He must be speaking some kind of language, but you just can't understand it."

His game language was set to allow us to speak Chinese, and Groot's language was naturally translated into Chinese as well.

"So magical?"

Quillton became interested and turned to Groot, asking, "What's your name?"

"I'm Groot."

Quill immediately turned to Du Mu: "Fellow villager, what was he saying just now?"

He said I was Groot.

"I know, I'm asking what you mean by that?"

Du Mu: "."

Are you an idiot?

Du Mu's lips twitched, and he said to Rocket and Groot, "You guys take this idiot away, and we'll split the bounty."

"it is good!"

The Rockets agreed without hesitation. Du Mu posed too great a threat, so cooperation was naturally the best option.

Groot nodded: "I am Groot."

Quill: "."

Oh no, it seems my teammate has betrayed me.

He looked left and right, his gaze finally settling on Gamora, who had just gotten up from the ground.

"Hey, what do you think of my suggestion from before? How about we join forces?"

Gamora turned her face away, not even bothering to glance at him.

She'd rather die than have such an idiot as a teammate!

Just then, a blinding yellow beam of light suddenly descended from the sky, enveloping everyone. They immediately felt their bodies lighten and were uncontrollably suspended in mid-air.

They looked up and saw seven Nova Corps airships hovering above them.

"Put down your weapons. In the name of the Nova Corps, you are under arrest for endangering the lives of others and damaging property."

A notice came over the loudspeaker on the airship, clearly indicating that the commotion they had caused had attracted the attention of the Nova Corps.

Faced with so many Nova Corps airships, Rocket had no choice but to drop his weapons. As for Gamora, she couldn't find her weapons after she got up, even though there was nothing to cover her.

Du Mu, on the other hand, was completely empty-handed, with nothing on him except for his bulging trouser pockets; he was cleaner than a beggar.

“I’m a victim, I did nothing, I’m innocent!” Quill shouted quickly.

"Yes, I'm innocent too. I don't know who put this gun in my hands!" Rocket chimed in.

"I'm Groot."

Quill: "."

Du Mu and Gamora didn't join in the shouting.

One of them could slip away at any time without fear, while the other was too proud to say it.

The Nova Corps was very efficient, quickly taking them to a specially designed isolation interrogation room and beginning to investigate their identities and backgrounds one by one.

The investigation revealed that most of them had various criminal records, especially Gamora, whose criminal record was even more outrageous than Zhang San's. Her accumulated prison sentences would be enough for her to spend her entire life in prison, from the Stone Age to the Interstellar Age.

Du Mu's file was exceptionally clean, almost like a blank sheet of paper, and it was mostly about self-defense. Compared to the others, he could be considered a law-abiding citizen.

In the end, Quill and the others were sent to prison by the Nova Corps, while only Du Mu was released on the spot.

Before parting, the squad leader of the Rising Star Legion patted Du Mu on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Young man, you must be careful when making friends in the future. These are dangerous criminals. Don't associate with them anymore."

Du Mu sighed: "I really didn't expect Quill to be this kind of person. I misjudged him. Don't worry, I have always been against evil. I will sever all ties with him from now on!"

Quill: "."

This guy is the main culprit, arrest him immediately!
