Sakaar.

The stands of the arena were filled with excited spectators. Someone was waving the ticket stub in their hand and shouting at the top of their lungs. There were also people sitting in their seats with a proud look on their faces, enjoying their drinks leisurely, as if they were watching a song and dance performance.

It’s clear who is the loser and who is the winner.

In the exclusive box for the boss in the middle of the stands, Gao Tianzun and the Collector were sitting on opposite ends of the couch. Just like the spectators in the shorter stands around them, one of them had a grimace and the other had a cheerful expression, forming a sharp contrast in their expressions.

"I won this round." Picking up the cup placed on the round table with the armrest reduced to a small one, the Collector triumphantly raised his cup to Gao Tianzun a few meters away: "Old man, you have better men. Huh? Call me over quickly to make arrangements."

"Tsk." He smacked his lips unwillingly, and Gao Tianzun rolled his eyes with an unlucky look on his face: "I'm just a temporary helper. I'm not your subordinate, so what's the point of being proud of?"

In the open field below, a duel was taking place.

The two sides fighting were Gao Tianzun's slave gladiators, and the Asgardian quartet of Volstagg, Fandral, and Hogan.

The appearance of slave gladiators is a matter of course. But why did Volstagg and the other three appear in the arena?

It started two days ago.

According to the original plan, the dark elves were escorted to the Sakaar planet and handed over to the slave traders under Gao Tianzun. After completing the escort mission, Thor and his friends will probably stay on the Sakaar planet for another three to five days. Days of time——Usually it is transmitted through the Rainbow Bridge, and it is rare to fly out in a spaceship. In addition, Sakaar does not belong to the Nine Realms, and there are very few opportunities to come here... Thinking that it would be a waste to go back with an empty ship, before setting off, Loki specially told Thor a few words, asking him to stay on Sakaar. While purchasing some supplies that Asgard may need, bring them back.

Thor never refuses Loki's request. What's more, the plot line has changed under the influence of Shi Xiaolei's butterfly, and Loki has not done any evil things that are tantamount to betrayal.

All in all, after completing the handover, Thor obediently devoted himself to the next job, busying himself with the procurement tasks that Loki had instructed on Sakaar.

There are four people from Asgard... To be more precise, with the help of Sif, who is attentive and considerate, this task is progressing smoothly, and the completion speed is faster than Thor expected.

However, just a few hours before the procurement task was completed and the group was preparing to leave Saka, the collector who received the invitation from Gao Tianzun happened to arrive on Saka.

In order to welcome my old friend, I can't wait to make a bet with him so that I can enjoy myself and have a good time. Not long after the Collector landed on the ground, and before his buttocks could even sit down, Gao Tianzun held a grand duel match that had been prepared in advance.

How grand is it?

If the duel competitions held on weekdays are compared to the student sports meets held within a certain university, then this competition held specifically to welcome collectors is at least as good as an official Olympic competition.

Whether it is the personal strength of the contestants or the attention of the competition itself, they are not on the same level.

Countless spectators poured into the arena, filling the stands to capacity. Coupled with the enthusiastic gamblers... Even outside the venue, from a long distance away, you can still hear the noise and bustle coming from the huge arena.

This excitement also reached the ears of Thor and the foursome from Asgard.

Asgard also has a circular arena, where Thor, Volstagg and others often show off their skills. They are already extremely familiar with activities like gladiatorial combat.

There was no need to distinguish it carefully, just by listening to it, Thor and others immediately guessed what the situation was that caused the movement.

Inevitably, I felt a little interested. I looked at the time again and saw that I still had a few hours to spare before setting off. So, a few people quickly agreed and decided to go to the arena to watch the excitement and kill some time. Wait three or four hours later, when the time is right, come back and sail away.

It was this temporary decision that triggered a series of follow-ups.

The first game was just an appetizer. The players on the stage are not very strong, and the competition process lacks a bit of excitement and is not very attractive.

But after the first two foreshadowing battles were over, the strength of those who came on stage was completely different.

Gradually, the four Asgardians and Thor became interested, and the audience in the stadium became more and more excited, making the atmosphere more and more exciting, and they were somewhat infected...

As the defending champion who had won thirty rounds in a row once again defeated his opponent, Gao Tianzun said, "If anyone can defeat him, he will get millions of credits," and publicly stated that he allowed the audience to leave the field and participate in the battle. Vostagg, who had the most impatient personality, stood up without hesitation, jumped into the field from the stands with the wine bottle in his hand.

He just wanted to have a fight and have fun fighting powerful enemies. Volstagg was not a money-grubbing character, and he had no interest in the one million credits promised by Gao Tianzun.

However, just because he doesn't care doesn't mean that others won't be tempted like him.

On Saka, there are many scavengers who make a living by picking up garbage, and many of them are strong and capable of fighting. For example, the Valkyrie who lives incognito on Sakaar has the number "Scavenger 142".

One million credits is still very attractive to these scavengers who only want to make money.

So, while Vostagg jumped into the arena, several scavengers waiting in the stands also joined the arena for rewards.

It's not a one-on-one fight, but a big melee involving multiple parties.

The more participants there are, the more exciting the process will be. In addition, those who participated in the next battle were all good scavengers, and the audience in the stands were no strangers to them... Seeing this scene, the audience was as excited as a pot, and their emotions immediately became much more exciting, and they placed bets. The enthusiasm also suddenly increased a lot.

The spectators in the stands all placed their bets, including Gao Tianzun and the collector sitting in the boss's box. Of course, they were no exception.

The champion who defends the ring is the slave of Gao Tianzun. Needless to say, of course he wants to bet on the champion.

The focus is on collectors.

After asking about the identities of the contestants, it was confirmed that only Volstagg was from outside Saka, and he already had a preference in his mind. In addition, Volstagg is from Asgard. In the hearts of collectors who have lived for countless years, they still remember the Asgardians' ability to conquer and fight...

After hesitating for about three to five seconds, the Collector made his choice and placed his bet on Volstagg.

The following competition process will not be described in detail.

In short, after a chaotic battle that lasted for about forty minutes, Volstagg finally managed to win by a narrow margin and snatched victory from the defending champion.

Because of his victory, the Collector won the bet with Gao Tianzun.

The winning money of hundreds of millions of credit points was just a drop in the bucket for a wealthy collector, and he didn't take it to heart. The key is to be able to beat his old friend in the gambling game. This victory itself is what he is most proud of.

It is somewhat inappropriate to describe it as "the man who dug the well when he was ready for the water", but the meaning is generally correct. To put it simply, because Volstagg helped him win a handful, the collector had a good feeling in his heart and took the initiative to snatch the job of "awarding rewards to the winners" from Gao Tianzun. Son.

A few minutes later, Vostagg was taken to the boss's box by his attendants. Thor and others who were originally staying in the stands were also called over because of his request.

Gao Tianzun had met with Thor and others before, but the collector he invited over later did not know Thor.

I don’t know that Thor is the prince of Asgard, and I don’t know what status Volstagg and others have in Asgard. However, Gao Tianzun felt a little aggrieved because he lost the bet, and deliberately didn’t Introduce him...

While giving Volstagg the one million credits he had promised before, the Collector suddenly made an invitation, expressing the hope that Volstagg and others could accept his employment and that in the next time, they would Have some fights with Gao Tianzun's gladiators.

Should I accept the collector's invitation and accept his employment?

If the person who made the invitation was someone other than a collector, the probability of acceptance or rejection would be about 50-50.

Maybe they accepted it because these people, including the trustee himself, like to compete with masters. The possible rejection was because they had already discussed the plan before and planned to leave after a while.

But it was the collector who made the invitation.

The Collector didn't know the origins of Thor and others, but in turn, after Thor and others heard him reveal his identity, they immediately remembered the scene when they discussed the action plan in Asgard.

So, while they were surprised at 'Why is he here?', Thor and others thought, 'Maybe if we cooperate now, we can get closer to each other, and if we ask him for help later, it might go smoothly. Some 'thoughts. Then, several people looked at each other and quickly unified their opinions, and Thor spoke up and accepted the collector's invitation.

In this way, Thor and others failed to leave Sakaar as originally planned. Instead, they stayed and temporarily cooperated with the Collector as mercenaries.

Volstagg, Fandral, and Hogan will appear in the arena, which is also the origin of this.
