American comics: Playing Spider-Man at the beginning, wandering around and losing contact

Chapter 276 Goodbye Nebula
"Tell me, Star-Lord, what reward will we get if we bring this thing back?"

On the spaceship, Rocket Raccoon curiously asked Star-Lord, they worked so hard to complete this mission, of course, for the reward, however, the targets of their mission, those gold-powdered people, have always been known for their weird tempers, so even after accepting this mission, they don't know what these guys will use as a reward.

Soon, they returned to the Gold Powder Man with the news of victory. In front of the Queen, the Raccoon announced the news to him with joy and pride.

However, the expected reward did not arrive as promised.

"How about it, Queen, now we have exceeded the reward target, right? Originally you just asked us to take back the things from the monster, but now we have killed the monster directly. In view of this, will you..."

Star-Lord said to the Queen with a smile.

At his eye signal, the Queen shook her head lightly.

To him, these people were just part of his plan, so there was no need for him to express his gratitude in a very grand manner.

"This is indeed an overachievement. However, killing a monster only shows that your strength is quite good, which does not mean anything."

The Queen spoke to the group with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

This made Star-Lord's face freeze instantly, and some members of the Guardians of the Galaxy around him also showed displeasure.

They worked so hard just to get the final reward, but this guy... suddenly said that he didn't think there was any need for a reward?
It can be seen that there is rage burning in the eyes of Star-Lord and others, but seeing how radical they are, the queen has no choice but to compromise.

"Okay... okay, I'm impressed by you. You, the Guardians of the Galaxy, are truly extraordinary."

"I can give you a reward, but you must leave this place immediately after taking the reward. Do you understand? This place is not for you to come and touch at will."

The place where they are is, of course, the home planet of these gold-powdered people, while Star-Lord and others are outsiders, and the people here are very xenophobic.

However, compared to rewards, being wronged is just a small matter.

"That's easy. Just give us the reward and we'll leave right away."

Star-Lord said with a smile.

Afterwards, several people received the so-called reward
That was the battery, exactly the same thing they got from the alien monster.

"What do you mean?"

Star-Lord was stunned when he looked at the battery in his hand.

Is this considered using something to pay for something instead of money? Although they don't know the value of this thing, if they want to turn it into money, they will have to go through some extra trouble, which makes them very distressed.

"Well, that's it. If you don't want it, maybe you can return it to me." Star-Lord looked at the others. It was obvious that the other members of the Guardians of the Galaxy also felt a little aggrieved about this inexplicable mission reward. However, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Maybe the people in this place are always so stingy. They can only blame themselves for not promoting the name of the Guardians of the Galaxy, so no one came to them to handle tasks, and this was the only task.

"Okay... I agree." Star-Lord could only shrug his shoulders and said helplessly.
These batteries, as they say, are a kind of super energy material that can enable things like spacecraft to fly for a long time. However, in the cold universe, this kind of thing is very useless.

On the one hand, this thing is consumable and will be gone once used, which is obviously not cost-effective.

On the other hand, this thing is also unsafe in certain circumstances, so after they accept it, they still have to think carefully about whether to use it and how to use it.

If we just give them the bounty directly, why would we need to go through all this trouble?

"Are you really not going to reconsider? We are actually very easy to talk to. If you can't offer us a satisfactory price, we can actually discuss this aspect."

Star-Lord smiled flatteringly, rubbing his hands and saying that these batteries were of no use to them and it would be better to convert them into hard cash.

"These things are priceless. Are you sure you want to do this?"

"Oh, there is one more thing. There is a person. I want to hand him over to you."

The Queen spoke again, and then she waved her hand, and a figure was brought up.

That was the familiar person they hadn't seen for a long time, Nebula! She was also Thanos' daughter and Gamora's sister.
However, the last time they met, Nebula still looked like she wanted to kill them, but that was of course only under the order of Thanos. But now, Nebula looked listless and seemed a little absent-minded.

"Nebula... Why is she here?" Star-Lord widened his eyes and looked at Gamora beside him. There was no doubt that Gamora, as her sister, did not know the purpose of Nebula's appearance here.

"He was rescued by us, and he kept talking about wanting to meet Gamora, so now we are returning him to you, which can be considered as payment."

After that, the queen asked Star-Lord and others to take Nebula away. Although this girl was their prisoner, they all knew that she was also the daughter of Thanos. Although Thanos had no humanity in the eyes of most people, it was somewhat creepy to put Thanos' daughter on their own planet. Maybe Thanos would come to them at any time.

Soon, Star-Lord and his companions and Nebula arrived on a familiar spaceship. Nebula looked very weak, as if he had not eaten for many days.

After opening his mouth, Nebula saw Star-Lord in his field of vision, and then he couldn't help but jump up nervously.

"Don't be nervous, little sister. Your sister Gamora and I are here now..." Star-Lord teased Nebula in a tone of teaching a little sister.

Since the last time she saw Nebula and parted ways with him, Gamora told Star-Lord and everyone else about Nebula's true appearance in order to make them understand her better.

After hearing about their parents' death and that they were picked up by Thanos, many people sighed silently in their hearts.

How could it not be horrifying that such a young baby received hellish teaching from Thanos since childhood?
"Okay... I do sympathize with him, but, Gamora, how do you know that this guy's value to us is worth the bounty?"
