"Thank you for your business, two dollars in total!" The owner of the street fruit stall handed a bag of fresh cashews to McIlwell and quoted the price.
The cashews here are not the kind of dried fruits commonly found in supermarkets or grocery stores in later generations. Those dried fruits are actually just seeds growing on the top of real cashews.
The cashew nuts here are complete fresh fruits. Their appearance is somewhat similar to lotus nuts. The pulp is smooth and juicy. It tastes somewhat like pineapple, which is very delicious.
However, because fresh fruits are not easy to preserve, they can basically only be eaten in some tropical origins. In most areas, only the seeds made into dried fruits can be eaten.
In the United States, only some southern states like New Mexico can often see fresh cashew nuts.
After Maxwell tasted it just now, he immediately fell in love with this fruit.
It's just obvious that Marvell doesn't have U.S. dollars.
Of course, with her ability, it was easy to get a few dollars, but as a noble warrior of the Kree Star Troopers, the arrogant Marvel did not bother to do things like robbery, so she handed the boss a dollar.
A small metal bar.
This is the universal currency of the galaxy, Star Coins.
A small stick like this is equivalent to one thousand star coins.
Although the earth has never had transactions with extraterrestrial civilizations, in general it can still be slightly converted using food as the equivalent.
Basically, the purchase of one thousand star coins is equivalent to ten thousand US dollars in this era.
This actually pushes the U.S. dollar higher.
After all, hundreds of thousands of star coins are enough to buy a small spaceship, and a few million dollars are only enough to buy a Mirage 3 fighter jet - this is the ex-factory price of the Mirage 3 fighter jet in 1970 in the original time and space, and in this era because
The purchasing power of the U.S. dollar is higher, so prices are even lower.
However, Marvell apparently ignored that although the earth has developed a good civilization, it has not yet integrated with the civilization of the universe, so it is impossible to recognize star coins, even if the casting materials of star coins are precious metals with high value in the universe.
.
So the boss was confused.
"What is this?" the boss asked, shaking the star coins in his hand.
"Money, this is a thousand yuan, enough to buy your store!" Marvel muttered while chewing on juicy cashew nuts.
"Oh, sweetheart, this joke is not funny at all, okay? Look at your clothes, you are a foreigner? Even if you don't have dollars, pounds, francs, lira (Italy), peseta (Spain), Dinero (Portugal)
That's fine, instead of fooling me with such a small iron bar!" the boss reluctantly persuaded.
"This is not a small iron bar, this is a star coin!" Marvel said to himself.
"...Hey, girl, are you here to cause trouble on purpose?" Seeing that Marvel was so unsophisticated, the boss got angry and immediately started to roll up his sleeves.
Two dollars is not a small amount of money for a small businessman like him.
When he saw this, Marvell was also angry. One thousand star coins was his day's salary, which was enough to have a good meal at the top restaurant in Hara Star, the capital of the Kree Empire.
As a member of the Star Troopers, the top force in the Kree Empire, Marvel's salary is also top-notch in the Kree Empire.
If it weren't for the fact that Star Troopers didn't have to spend money on food, clothing, housing and transportation, it would have been impossible for Marvel to be so generous as to give out a thousand star coins.
However, it is precisely because he has participated in the Star Troopers since he was a child that McIlwell seems to be relatively lacking in human sophistication and other aspects, resulting in this rather embarrassing situation.
Seeing that the natives of this planet actually dared to roll up their sleeves at him, Marvell was also angry and wanted to show him some humiliation.
But at this moment, a sonorous female voice sounded from the side, and at the same time, a broad jade hand handed a five-dollar note to the boss.
"I paid the money for her, any more will be treated as a tip!" said the visitor.
Marvel couldn't help but be surprised when he heard the sound. When did this person come to me? Follow the sound.
So tall, so big!
This is Marvel's first impression.
Although the technology of the Kree Empire is many years more advanced than that of Earth, there is not much difference in terms of the size of ordinary people.
The average height of men is only 1.8-2.0, which can only be said to be slightly taller than that of people on earth.
Women are basically the same, with the average height around 1.70.
As a member of Star Troopers, Marvel's height is 1.75, which is relatively standard.
But the earthly woman who appeared in front of her was over 1.8 meters tall, and looked even bigger than her. Under her seemingly ordinary clothes (women's suit), she had extremely explosive muscles hidden under her.
.
As a warrior, Marvel could tell at a glance.
And the other party's broad chest made Marvel, who was also a woman, feel a little inferior - even though he was an alien, the Cree people also regarded bigness as beauty.
Fortunately, as a member of the Star Troopers, Marvel's psychological quality is very high, and he quickly came to his senses and asked, "Who are you?"
"Peggy Carter, just call me Peggy!" the woman extended her hand and introduced herself.
Yes, the visitor was Peggy Carter, who was sent to Roswell by Josie to investigate the UFO crash.
After she brought the CIA people to Roswell, the results of the investigation of the UFO crash site were basically consistent with the military, including several corpses that had been baked into charcoal, as well as some metal fragments.
There is basically no value other than allowing the government to determine that there are aliens in this world.
Well, it can't be said to be completely worthless. The structural components of those metal fragments are still of some research value - although vibranium is now shared by countries around the world, this thing has limited reserves after all, and is destined to be impossible to popularize, so the research on conventional metals
Still very valuable.
However, unlike the military investigators, who only limited their attention to the location of the incident and the surrounding small area, Carter teamed up with the FBI and local police to expand the scope of the investigation to the surrounding cities and towns.
So Marvel, dressed in strange clothes, quickly came into view...
Then the scene that just happened happened.
As for why Melville, as a warrior of the Kree Empire Star Troopers, was so unvigilant and didn't realize that she was being tracked, it was actually very simple. It wasn't that she wasn't vigilant, but that she was the focus of attention on the streets from the very beginning when she entered the city.
It doesn't matter whether you are alert or not.
Moreover, Marvell does not think that the relatively backward civilization on this planet can threaten her.
Until Peggy Carter came along.
"Mawell!" Mawell did not hide her name. After all, she has not betrayed Kerry yet, so she does not need to remain anonymous.
As he spoke, he also stretched out his hand, held it with Carter, and subconsciously used a little force.
"It sounds a bit like a boy's name!" Feeling the power coming from the other person's hand, Carter smiled and began to exert force while speaking.
Who said that only men can do things like hand strength competition?
Strong women like Carter and Marvel will also do this kind of thing.
After some testing, the two soon discovered that the other party was not weaker than themselves - the Kree themselves were physically stronger than the Earthlings, and compared to rare super soldiers like Carter, the Kree Empire had lost power many years ago.
Gene enhancement potions have already begun to be popularized. Although the overall effect may not be as good as the super soldier potion, elite warriors of the Kree Star Troopers like Marvel are not much different.
Otherwise, the Kree Empire would not be able to dominate the cruel universe.
"This is originally a boy's name. My father has always wanted a boy." Marvel shrugged and said generously. Kree people are martial, and like most creatures, Kree males are generally better than females.
stronger.
Therefore, the preference for boys over girls still exists in ancient interstellar civilizations such as the Kree Empire.
"Well, I can understand. I've encountered this kind of thing before. This is not the place to talk. Are you interested in having a drink with me?" Carter invited.
"It's an honor!" As a future "Kree traitor", Marvel is originally a curious and cheerful person. He is not as cold, silent and cruel as the average Kree warrior.
If it were an ordinary Kree warrior, the streets of the city would probably be filled with blood by now.
Faced with a female warrior like Carter who she admired, Marvell naturally did not refuse.
"Cheers!" Ten minutes later, the two of them appeared in a local bar, holding a large glass of tequila and touching it, and then they started drinking.
There isn't much else in New Mexico except there are a lot of bars.
It's just that this bar has obviously been cleared out by the CIA before Carter and Marvel arrived, so apart from the bartenders, they are the only two people inside.
But at this time, the bartender was frightened by these two tough women.
Because tequila is a high-strength liquor with an alcohol content of over 40 degrees, normal people usually drink it in a small glass, as small as a bullet cup, with salt and lemon.
But the two women in front of them directly used beer glasses and drank the tequila as beer.
At first, the bartender was really afraid that the two women would die of alcohol poisoning in his bar.
But he soon discovered that things were beyond his imagination.
Both of these women had already drank several bottles of tequila. Not to mention alcohol poisoning, they showed no signs of being drunk at all. They were not even red in the face or out of breath, as if what they drank before was not strong liquor but plain water——
For this reason, the bartender specially picked up the empty bottle that the two of them had finished drinking and tasted the remaining wine inside. It was definitely wine...
md, these two women are not human beings at all, are they?
The bartender couldn't help but look at Carter and his eyes a little strangely.
What he didn't know was that to a certain extent, the two of them had indeed broken away from the category of "human beings".
Whether it is the super soldier potion or the strengthening potion that Kree elite warriors have used since childhood, they can increase the body's metabolism.
So it is difficult for them to get drunk.
Dr. Erskine had discussed this with Captain America back then.
However, Carter and Marvel didn't care about the bartender's gaze. Although they had just met and were not from the same species, after initial communication, they found that they had many things in common to talk about.
The so-called feeling like old friends at first sight is pretty much it.
"Melwell, you are not from Earth, right?" After drinking for three times, Carter changed the topic to the main topic while playing with a star coin, "Is this star coin the currency of your planet?"
This is the star coin that was taken back from the fruit stall owner.
Unlike the fruit stall owner, Carter, as a professional, felt that this "coin" was unusual as soon as he got it.
Very light, but very strong - maybe not as good as vibranium, but harder than any other metal she has ever seen on earth.
"No, this is not our official currency. The Kree Empire no longer uses this original currency. They all use official credits. This is the universal currency of the galaxy. We only bring some with us when we go out in the field.
It is reserved for use in some backward civilizations, but because our logistics reserves have always been sufficient, it is not used often. If you like it, I can give you some more!" Marvel revealed nonchalantly.
Some information about the universe.
Again, the current Marvell doesn't care at all that the people on this planet know his identity, and he doesn't think that the people in this world can pose a threat to him, even the powerful woman in front of him.
After all, fighting never only depends on the strength of the body. In many cases, equipment is the most important.
In this regard, Marvel is very confident in the technology of the Kree Empire.
"Oh, that sounds very interesting. Can you tell me something about the universe?" After hearing what Marvell said, Carter was shocked in his heart, but asked calmly on the surface.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Haha, honey, I know you should be from the official organization of this planet, but listen to my advice, for you who are not even a first-level civilization,
For planets that are not there, it is not a good thing to know too much about the situation in the universe. In fact, you don’t have to worry too much. Your planet is located in the most remote area of our empire. Other civilizations want to get here.
It's not an easy thing, and according to our official records, this is just a wild planet. For your sake, I won't report your development!" Marvell stopped with a smile.
He put his hand on Carter's shoulder and said affectionately.
After some exchanges, she found that the woman in front of her was too much to her liking, and for her sake, Marvell didn't mind hiding the situation on Earth.
Anyway, for the empire, a planet like Earth, which does not even have a first-level civilization and is extremely lacking in resources, is really not of much use.
"Is your empire very powerful?" Carter asked.
"Of course, we are the most powerful in the entire galaxy. At least one-third of the entire galaxy is the territory of our Kree Empire!" Marvel said very proudly.
One-third of the Milky Way? Faced with Marvell's answer, Carter's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was already in turmoil.
Although she has always been a person with strong opinions, the current situation may involve the future of earth civilization, which is completely beyond her ability to understand.
This matter must be reported to Josie!
The face of Josie immediately appeared in Carter's mind.
