The Collector and his brother, the Grandmaster, had lived for who knew how many years.
It was likely the two brothers were bored.
One set up some kind of battle arena on Sakaar, the other indulged in collecting in the void.
Both seemed to be not quite right in the head.
Their perceived weakness in the movies didn't mean they were truly weak; perhaps they were just toying with people out of boredom.
Lin Feng simply nodded in response to the Collector's greeting.
He had no ancestral etiquette to display.
"Collector, Tivan."
"I heard you've set your sights on my Infinity Stones?"
"And hired the Ravagers for it?"
Lin Feng got straight to the point, opening the conversation.
Lin Feng wasn't foolish enough to ask how the Collector knew about him; he had become a celebrity in the Marvel Universe by now!
"Oh… my new friend!" Tivan scrutinized Lin Feng from head to toe, his gaze suddenly turning astonished.
He didn't answer Lin Feng's question, but instead circled around him, as if observing a treasure.
"Fascinating, truly fascinating."
"Though you have a human face."
"I can feel, within you, flows a bloodline unique in the entire universe."
"And that black hole-like growth potential!"
"Incredible… I've never seen a creature like this…"
Tivan was amazed by the bloodline flowing within Lin Feng.
Every cell of Lin Feng's was as dazzling as the sun, brimming with energy.
"Name your price!"
After a round of praise, Tivan said something out of the blue.
Lin Feng blinked, scratching his head, "Name my price, for what? The Infinity Stones?"
These old monsters who had lived for so long truly had unconventional thoughts.
However, Lin Feng had no intention of selling the Infinity Stones.
"No, not just the Infinity Stones."
Tivan waggled a finger, then pointed at Lin Feng, rubbing his hands together, and uttered words that stunned Lin Feng.
"You, I'll buy you too!"
On the side, the red-skinned attendant, Carina, couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Here we go again, her master was doing this for the first time.
That's right, Tivan had taken an interest in Lin Feng.
More precisely, he was interested in Lin Feng's Silver Superman physique.
His collection housed all sorts of strange things.
But he had never encountered a creature like this.
Human appearance, yet cells like suns.
He had never seen such a creature. Although his human facade made him somewhat ordinary.
But the inner being was what mattered most.
Tivan understood collecting perfectly.
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng's first reaction was to turn and leave.
What kind of nonsense was this? Had this old geezer's brain gone moldy from living so long?
What a waste of his time!
"Don't!"
"Don't rush off!" Tivan, seeing his "collection" about to escape, hurried to stop him.
"Name your price, I genuinely wish to buy!"
"I can wait until the day you die, and collect your corpse!" Tivan explained.
He was immortal, and could perfectly wait until Lin Feng's lifespan was exhausted before collecting him.
"How about it? Sell me your future corpse, and I'll give you a price you can't refuse!"
Tivan wasn't short of money; what he lacked were unique collectibles.
Lin Feng's bloodline was unique in the entire Marvel Universe. It had to be said that Tivan's eye for quality was sharp.
"Heh…"
Lin Feng let out a snort.
"You want to buy me? What a joke."
"If you're waiting for me to die, the universe will probably be gone by then."
Lin Feng found Tivan a little perverted.
His Silver physique was growing and strengthening every moment.
There was no need to even mention his lifespan.
"My friend! That's not something that can be said for certain~"
Tivan disagreed with Lin Feng's statement, hunching over mysteriously.
"The universe is full of variables and dangers."
"Perhaps one day, you'll encounter an enemy you cannot defeat."
"Since you're going to die eventually, why not enjoy yourself with money beforehand?"
Tivan's words were filled with temptation, and he spoke with a semblance of reason.
But he wanted to buy Lin Feng!
Lin Feng's eyes widened, and he suppressed the urge to deliver a kick.
In his heart, he couldn't help but curse.
This old bastard, when a deal falls through, he starts cursing people?
Lin Feng's killing gaze made Tivan flinch.
He quickly walked to the table and opened a huge projection device.
He mysteriously beckoned Lin Feng over, signaling him to come and see.
Lin Feng, with a cold face, stepped forward to see what trick he was up to.
The projection device displayed an empty void.
As Tivan operated it, the six Infinity Stones were projected one by one.
"Before the universe was created, there were six singularities!"
"Then, with a bang!"
"The Big Bang gave birth to the universe!"
"The remnants of these six singularities were collected and condensed into stones."
"Known as… the Infinity Stones."
Tivan said this while making an explosion gesture with his hands clasped together.
"What exactly do you want to say?"
Lin Feng was growing impatient; he truly didn't know how to deal with beings as neurotic as this.
"If it's about the origin of the Infinity Stones, I know it all. You don't need to lecture me!"
"No, no, no, my friend!"
"What I mean is, a single Infinity Stone can destroy a civilization!" Tivan said.
"Look!"
As he spoke, Tivan pulled up images, demonstrating the power of the Infinity Stones.
"So what?" Lin Feng tilted his head, appearing rather bored.
"So, you possess five of these things!" Tivan extended his palm, emphasizing.
"Powerful beings across the universe are all focusing their attention on you."
"How can you guarantee you won't perish in some war?"
"…"
The handsome young man was rendered speechless…
In the end, it all came down to coveting Lin Feng's Silver physique.
With a sigh, Lin Feng truly prepared to leave.
"It seems my visit here was a mistake, a complete waste of time!"
"If this is all you wanted to talk about, then I bid you farewell!"
Having said that, Lin Feng did not hesitate and walked towards the exit.
Next, he should make a trip to the planet Xandar, where the first news of the Infinity Stones had emerged.
Perhaps he might find some clues there.
"Wait!"
Tivan called out to Lin Feng again.
"If you won't sell your corpse, that's fine, I'll buy the Infinity Stones too!"
"One hundred billion each. How about that?"
Lin Feng paused his steps, continuing to walk out.
Go eat shit, he wasn't selling the Infinity Stones either!
Seeing Lin Feng truly leaving, Tivan panicked.
Two rare collectibles were about to slip away like this!
This wouldn't do, he had to bring out his trump card.
"I know!"
"I know you're looking for the person who spread your news! Right?!"
Tivan shouted loudly at Lin Feng's retreating back.
