Chapter 048: Departure

The Collector had white hair and an arrogant demeanor, not by choice but by nature.

"Welcome, my new guest. I hear you've been looking for me?"

"Yes," Wang Bo nodded.

The Collector smiled and said meaningfully, "A long time ago, every new guest always brought me some surprises. I wonder if you, this guest, can give me a surprise."

"Of course." Wang Bo unceremoniously pulled out a few items from his fourth-dimensional pocket and placed them on the table. "These are the surprises I bring you."

The Collector slowly gazed at these items and said, "A tablecloth, a stone, a box of capsules, a box radiating a strange power, a gem, and a bean?"

"To me, these are nothing but junk."

"But since you dare to put this junk before me, you're definitely not messing with me, right?"

The Collector's gaze turned unfriendly, but his words remained polite. He swore to himself that if these things were junk, he would torture the man before him until he wished he were dead.

Wang Bo smiled and said, "You're right, these are definitely not junk but rarities. I swear, every item here is unique. In this universe, you won't find a second similar thing."

The Collector said with a half-smile, "Then let me hear what these things really are."

Wang Bo nodded, pointed at the tablecloth, and said, "First, this is the Gourmet Tablecloth. It can provide delicious food. For example, if I ask for a glass of wine..."

A glass of wine immediately appeared on the Gourmet Tablecloth.

The Collector's eyes lit up, and Wang Bo made a gesture of invitation.

He stepped forward, took the glass of wine, and took a sip. "A very good wine, just a little lacking in flavor."

Wang Bo continued, "This Gourmet Tablecloth can provide you with many foods. Just tell it what you want, and it will satisfy you. Of course, the food it offers isn't too extensive."

If this were Earth, Wang Bo could boast.

But on a cosmic scale, there were too many foods. Even the Gourmet Tablecloth couldn't provide all the food in the universe.

The Collector picked up the Gourmet Tablecloth, turned it over a few times, and named several foods, but the tablecloth didn't produce them. However, when he mentioned bread and wine, the tablecloth provided a few pieces of bread and some wine.

The Collector quickly figured out the limitations of the Gourmet Tablecloth and said, "Though ordinary, it's unique. I can give you a few million. You may continue."

Wang Bo said, "This broken stone is called the Horse Talisman. Whoever holds it can heal physical injuries, including most diseases."

The Collector picked up the Horse Talisman and examined it carefully. "I can offer you a high price for this—one hundred million. How about that?"

Here, one hundred million refers to the universal currency.

Wang Bo continued, "This capsule is called the Capsule Corporation Capsule. It can store most things inside, even a house, making it easy to carry."

"Using spatial technology?" the Collector asked with interest.

"That's right," Wang Bo nodded.

"It is indeed somewhat rare, but the quantity is small. Ten million."

Wang Bo picked up the box and said, "This thing is called the AllSpark. The energy inside can turn some machines into life forms, and these life forms are called Transformers. Trust me, there are definitely no Transformers in this universe."

The Collector's eyes sparkled brighter than ever. He loved such rarities.

"Transformers? Are you sure? It can turn machines into living beings?"

Wang Bo said, "You can try it."

The Collector unceremoniously picked up the AllSpark and turned a small robot into a Transformer. After confirming it was indeed a silicon-based life form, he was overjoyed.

"This is truly a good thing."

Wang Bo warned, "The AllSpark doesn't have much energy left. You should be careful."

The Collector said dismissively, "Rarity makes it a treasure. I'll offer three hundred million for this."

To him, anything money could buy was no problem.

He was even more looking forward to the other two items.

"This gem is called the Resurrection Stone. Using it can revive you three times."

"One billion!" the Collector said eagerly. Everyone cherished their life, including him. Something that could revive you was definitely a good thing.

"After eating this bean, you gain a superpower. You can consume energy from your body to summon a group of soldiers. The more energy you have, the more soldiers you can summon."

"Good stuff, good stuff!"

The Collector couldn't help but laugh heartily. He admitted that the items Wang Bo brought, though varying in price, were all genuinely good things.

"What's your name?"

"Wang Bo."

"Very well, Wang Bo. From now on, no matter where you come from, you are my friend." The Collector wasn't stupid. From the items Wang Bo had produced, he could tell that Wang Bo was definitely not from this universe.

He was most likely from another universe.

Though rare, it wasn't unheard of.

Among his collection was a Howard the Duck, a little thing from another universe, and it had still become his collectible.

So Wang Bo being from another world didn't bother him at all. What he cared about was whether Wang Bo could provide him with good things he had never seen before. After all, he had plenty of money.

So he planned to befriend Wang Bo, hoping that Wang Bo would continuously bring him good things in the future.

Wang Bo naturally didn't refuse.

"What do you want? Money, or something else?" the Collector asked.

Wang Bo originally wanted some high-tech products, but after seeing the Collector's collection, he changed his mind and said, "I want some bones, brain tissue, and spinal fluid from this place, a few dragons, some items that can increase magical power, and some very hard metals."

"Of course, if conditions allow, I'd also like some cutting-edge high-tech."

The Collector smiled slightly and said, "No problem."

On Knowhere, all the bones, brain tissue, and spinal fluid were his. He had been collecting these for centuries and hadn't exhausted them, so he naturally didn't care.

As for dragons, they weren't rare in the universe. With his wealth, capturing a few dragons was no issue.

Then there were items to increase magical power—he knew about those too.

As for metals, there was no need to mention them; he had an abundance of such minerals.

High-tech items were also not lacking. In short, Wang Bo's requests posed no difficulty for him.

Within just a few days, he had prepared everything Wang Bo wanted.

After receiving these items, Wang Bo bid farewell to the Collector and left Knowhere.

A day later, Wang Bo left Knowhere and departed from this world!
