Kryptonian: Man of Steel

The universe is so vast that nothing is impossible. As long as the signal continues to be sent, it will touch the heartstrings of a passerby one day.

Although this strategy of casting a wide net seems slim, it is also the only way for him to find hope in this vast universe.

At the other end of the universe, in the Predator headquarters, a huge fortress built from the wreckage of old spacecraft, the atmosphere is tense and solemn.

This is the base camp of the Predators and their safe haven from the pursuit of the Galactic Empire.

Yondu, the alien leader with blue skin and fin-like hair on his head, is sitting on a throne made of unknown materials.

"Yondu, we received Quill's distress signal!"

A subordinate hurried into the hall.

Quill, that is, Star-Lord, is the adopted son that Yondu regards as his own. Although there is no blood relationship between them, the deep affection is inseparable.

Yondu frowned slightly, and then a complex smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. This smile contains both blame and unconcealable concern.

"Really? What trouble did that kid cause me again? He is always like this, making people worry."

There was a bit of helplessness in his words, but it also revealed his deep love for Quill. The predators all knew that Yondu valued Quill far more than ordinary people, and even protected him at all costs.

This preference is particularly precious and special in the predator's world of the jungle, and it has also caused dissatisfaction among many people.

However, the predators are not having an easy time now. The Galactic Empire's crackdown has intensified, and their business has been hit unprecedentedly. Many former allies and subordinates have chosen to flee or surrender.

Yondu stood up and walked to the holographic projector in the center of the hall, where detailed information about Quill's distress signal was displayed. He carefully studied every detail, trying to find clues from it.

"Where did this signal come from?"

He asked in a deep voice.

"A remote star field, almost no spacecraft will pass through."

The subordinate replied.

Yondu nodded, and he had already made up his mind.

He knew that although Quill was naughty, he would never send out a distress signal for no reason. Since the signal had been sent, it meant that he was in trouble.

As a father, he couldn't just sit back and do nothing.

"Prepare the spaceship, let's go."

Yondu gave the order, his tone unquestionable.

However, his order was opposed by his men.

"Yondu, I object!"

A burly man stood up and said.

His voice seemed to tear the air apart.

"We can't take risks for your son. The Galactic Empire is now arresting us. Do you know how much money they have offered for our heads?"

"Those bounty hunters are going crazy! They are like a group of hungry wolves, searching for our traces everywhere, just for the generous bounty."

When the Galactic Empire's bounty was mentioned, the atmosphere in the hall froze instantly, as if even time had stopped at this moment.

Everyone's heart was filled with an indescribable fear and uneasiness, a deep worry about an unknown fate.

The Galactic Empire, a huge empire that rules countless galaxies and possesses endless resources, has a unique monetary system that demonstrates its unique authority and power.

The empire's monetary system consists of two currencies: credit points and galactic coins.

Credit points, as electronic currency, are issued by the Galactic Empire with its strong credibility and circulate in every corner of the empire. Whether it is interstellar trade or daily consumption, it is indispensable.

And the galactic coin is the hard currency in the empire's monetary system. Its standard is high-grade isotopes, a precious element that is extremely rare in the universe.

High-grade isotopes are masterpieces of the laws of nature in the universe. They have unique physical and chemical properties, can maintain amazing stability under extreme conditions, and are key materials for manufacturing advanced technology products.

In a universe where technology is changing with each passing day, the value of high-grade isotopes is immeasurable. They are the core components of interstellar spacecraft engines, the basic materials of quantum computers, and even the cornerstone of building superluminal communication networks.

More importantly, the production of high-grade isotopes is extremely limited and almost impossible to synthesize artificially, which makes them one of the most precious resources in the universe and invaluable.

Relying on its advanced scientific and technological strength, the Galactic Empire has successfully mastered the mining and refining technology of high-grade isotopes. This achievement not only makes the Empire far ahead in the field of science and technology, but also makes the Galaxy Coin the currency with the most credibility and purchasing power in the universe.

The issuance of the Galaxy Coin not only consolidates the economic status of the Galactic Empire, but also establishes a strong prestige in the universe.

Whether bargaining in interstellar trade or investing in scientific and technological research and development, the Galaxy Coin is a measure of value and a symbol of power.

However, the scarcity and importance of high-grade isotopes also strictly restrict the circulation of the Galaxy Coin.

The Empire has strict control over the mining and refining of high-grade isotopes. The issuance of each Galaxy Coin is carefully calculated to ensure that its circulation in the universe remains at a relatively stable level.

This cautious management strategy has made the purchasing power of Galaxy Coin far exceed other currencies, making it the most sought-after hard currency in the universe.

For the plunderers, the bounty offered by the Galactic Empire is undoubtedly the heaviest blow to them.

Those bounty hunters, for the sake of a generous bounty, hunted them at all costs, and the Galaxy Coin, as a means of payment for the bounty, made the predators feel unprecedented pressure.

Under the rule of the Galactic Empire, whether it is interstellar trade, scientific research and development, or military expansion, it is inseparable from the support of the Galaxy Coin.

Once you become a wanted criminal of the empire, it means losing the ability to move freely in the universe, and losing the means to obtain resources and protect yourself.

"So what? Are you going to hide here forever?"

Yondu asked back, he looked around and continued: "We are predators, predators have existed in the universe for so many years, the Galactic Empire wants to completely destroy us, this is impossible! The universe is really too big, the Milky Way alone is so big that it is despairing. There are so many planets in the Milky Way, even if not all planets are suitable for survival and habitation, but it is more than enough to hide us predators. The Galactic Empire is not strong enough to control all the planets, so the predators will be endless."

"I know what you are thinking, you think I am taking risks for my son, but not just my son, you are all my people, if you are in danger, I will save you."

Yondu's voice became soft.
