Chapter 405: Glittery Grand Hotel (First Update)
Chapter 405: Glittery Grand Hotel (First Update)
"I want one... aaaahh."
The Leather Jacketed Youth was about to make a bold demand, starting with a billion to gauge the response before lowering the price, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was hit by an electric shock from behind. He convulsed and fell to the ground.
Jerry looked at the Leather Jacketed Youth with a hint of amusement and teased:
"What? One? Do you mean one dollar? Isn't that a bit too cheap!"
"No, no."
The Leather Jacketed Youth, hearing Jerry's words, stared wide-eyed, trying to explain but his mouth was numb from the shock, making it impossible for him to speak clearly.
At that moment, the Raccoon and the Tree Man, whom Jerry had seen earlier, approached with a shock gun and a sack:
"Ha-ha, a walking four thousand dollars, Groot, we're going to make a fortune now!"
Clearly, the shock had been delivered by the Raccoon, and their target was the convulsing Leather Jacketed Youth on the ground.
"Hand over the Cosmic Spirit Orb, or I'll chop you to pieces!"
The Green-Skinned Woman, who had been taken away by the Leather Jacketed Youth's flying machine, had managed to break free. She was now wielding a long blade and ran back, fuming with anger.
Jerry, holding the Cosmic Spirit Orb, shook his head:
"That's not possible. This man has already sold me the iron ball for one dollar!"
"One dollar?"
The Green-Skinned Woman looked at the Leather Jacketed Youth, who was halfway into the sack, with a gaze that suggested he was a fool. She was about to attack with her blade when a yellow light lifted her into the air.
In addition to her, the Tree Man, the Raccoon, the Leather Jacketed Youth, and Jerry, who had been sitting on a bench, were all lifted into the air.
"Subject 89P13, Gamora, please drop your weapon immediately. According to the authority of the Nova Corps, you are under arrest for endangering public safety and property."
It turned out that the commotion had been noticed by the Nova Corps, who were responsible for maintaining order. At that moment, seven or eight Nova Corps flying machines were floating in the air, using their gravity control to suspend everyone mid-air.
"Kind of like a levitation charm!"
Seeing his body floating in the air, Jerry didn't seem to mind. He casually tossed the Cosmic Spirit Orb into his ring world.
"I'm sorry for the scare!"
A small Captain from the Nova Corps apologized to Jerry.
Behind the Captain, the Raccoon, the Tree Man, the Green-Skinned Woman, and the Leather Jacketed Youth were all restrained with high-tech handcuffs.
Jerry smiled:
"It's fine. I wasn't hurt, and you arrived just in time!"
It turned out that when the Nova Corps security team arrived, they had mistakenly assumed Jerry was an accomplice and intended to take him to the police station for questioning.
Jerry didn't resist or try to escape, even though the laser weapons and the flying machines above couldn't harm him.
Instead, he called the hotel manager he had just transacted with and explained the situation.
After receiving Jerry's call, Markus immediately contacted the group's leadership, who in turn contacted the police chief. This led to the current scenario.
Of course, the most important factor was that a scan revealed Jerry had no criminal record, no dangerous items, or weapons, and he had only arrived on Xandar that day, with no connection to the habitual criminals.
“What’s his name?”
Jerry pointed at the leather jacketed youth who was being escorted away and asked the young Captain.
The young Captain turned and glanced at the leather jacketed youth:
“He’s called Star Prince, a habitual thief who likes to steal things. I’ve caught him many times!”
“My name is Star-Lord, remember, Star-Lord. When you’re out there, you can’t get your nickname wrong!”
The leather jacketed youth subtly flipped the young Captain off.
“Alright, Star-Lord!”
The young Captain shrugged indifferently.
Seeing that the leather jacketed youth was about to be taken away, Jerry used Magic to transmit his voice into the youth’s mind:
“Star-Lord, is it? I’ll be staying at the best hotel here, the Glittery Grand Hotel, for a while. If you manage to get out, you can come find me. I’ll pay you the appropriate reward for the Cosmic Spirit Orb. Of course, if it takes too long, I can’t guarantee anything.”
The earlier joke about the one yuan was just that—a joke. Since he had the Cosmic Spirit Orb, he would certainly give the appropriate reward.
However, with the youth being thrown into jail, who knew how many years he might be locked up. If it took too long, Jerry wouldn’t wait.
The leather jacketed youth’s eyes lit up upon hearing Jerry’s words in his mind.
Anyone who could afford to stay at the Glittery Grand Hotel was definitely wealthy. Perhaps they really could pay him a billion.
Glittery Grand Hotel.
This is the most luxurious hotel in the capital of Xandar, second in height only to the headquarters of the Nova Corps.
Here, you can enjoy the most beautiful views of the entire capital, savor delicacies from all over the universe, and the freshness of the ingredients is ensured by dedicated spaceships that travel through multiple Spatial Black Holes daily from distant planets.
Each room is built with the most advanced technology of Xandar, equipped with a unique smart system butler, and features a large private balcony and swimming pool.
The interior of the hotel also includes a dedicated casino, bar, indoor zoo, and space aquarium, among other entertainment facilities, catering to any need you can imagine.
Of course, the price is also quite steep.
A single night’s stay costs a staggering forty thousand credits, equivalent to the bounty for capturing the raccoon who had brought in the leather jacketed youth.
And that’s just the room rate. Food and entertainment are extra, and those facilities are true money pits, making it a top choice for many important figures from other planets who come to Xandar for a holiday.
A month’s stay at the Glittery Grand Hotel could easily cost a few million.
However, for Jerry, this was no big deal.
First, he had a balance of forty billion credits, which would last him more than a year even if he stayed at the hotel continuously. Second, the money was just a number to him, with no significant value.
If he lost it, he could always sell some Dark Elf Weapons to replenish his funds.
Lastly, since this was a cosmic journey to one of the most advanced planets in the universe, he wanted the best experience possible.
And this place, where the elite figures gathered, might bring him some unexpected benefits.
“Sir, how many nights would you like to stay?”
The beautiful female receptionist at the Glittery Grand Hotel, noticing Jerry approach with the latest model of a wrist device, greeted him warmly.
Jerry smiled:
“Just a month for now.”
“A month, very well, please wait a moment!”
The receptionist, recognizing a big client, quickly began processing Jerry’s check-in.
However, as she entered his basic information, a message suddenly popped up on the virtual screen, causing her to freeze in surprise.
