Chapter 293: Knowhere

"This guy is still breathing?"

"Are you kidding me?"

"No, I mean, how is he even alive?"

"Is that so strange? Aside from those so-called gods, some people who have been changed in special ways can survive in the vacuum space, but they are rare."

"So... he's a god?"

"Perhaps, but I'm more interested in knowing how much he's worth."

...

Jack lay on a cold table and listened to the two guys around him talk about how much they should sell him for without any shame.

If he could move, he would have jumped up and gone crazy a long time ago.

But since they had at least saved him, he reminded himself not to stoop down to their level.

Just an hour ago, he was just floating around in space when a spacecraft happened to fly right in front of him.

The pilot clearly didn't expect floating "space debris" here, and the two objects gently collided.

Jack swore it was just a gentle collision; it must be that the spaceship was too weak.

Even so, after breaking the engine on one side of the ship, the owner of the ship was certainly able to catch him.

Two aliens dressed in Ravager coats.

One had a head like an octopus, with tentacle-like hair and a beard, while the other was a person with only one eye who didn't seem to belong with the other people on Earth.

And the ship he crashed into was Ravager's standard ship, which he used to own himself.

Obviously, he fell into the hands of two stranded Ravagers, and these two poor souls were discussing who to sell him to and for how much.

That is very Ravager-like.

The two had different opinions on this matter. Octopus Guy suggested selling him as a dancer to the nearest planet, which almost made Jack angry.

On the other hand, the One-Eyed Guy's idea was more simple.

"The collector?"

Octopus Guy seemed surprised.

"You want to sell him to a collector?"

"He's always generous, especially when he bargains."

The One-Eyed Guy shrugged and said, "And we're close to Knowhere here, isn't that perfect for him?"

"Makes some sense."

Octopus Guy nodded and stroked the tentacles on his chin to show that he agreed.

The most important thing was that the Collector had a good reputation and didn't do any shady dealings that would ruin his name.

Besides, he always liked to collect strange and weird things. As long as he sparked the Collector's interest, he'd be willing to pay a lot of money.

But if he couldn't impress him or ended up entertaining him with some junk, then things... probably wouldn't end well.

After all, you couldn't expect someone who was the most famous black market owner in the universe to be a good person.

They believed that a life form that had survived in the universe for who knows how long was quite rare.

The Collector should be very interested.

Thinking about the Collector's generosity, the two Ravagers even forgot about the worst that could happen and joyfully started the ship, heading towards the nearest Knowhere.

But because the engine was damaged, it would take a long time to get there.

Although Jack was dissatisfied with his fate of being sold, he was helpless.

At the moment, he couldn't do anything but go with the flow.

But he was lucky because two Ravagers made him a bed.

They may have done this because they didn't want anything to happen to their valuable "item."

Although the smell was terrible and made him want to vomit, it was still better than his previous state of floating in space.

As Jack pondered in his mind what he could do, a wave of exhaustion came from the depths of his soul that made him feel dizzy.

"Here it comes again."

Jack grumbled while resisting the overwhelming urge to sleep.

During his time in space, Jack had been awake most of the time, but about four days ago, he started getting very sleepy for short periods of time.

He didn't know if it was dangerous to fall asleep, so he fought his desire to do it.

Luckily, from past experience, he knew that if he kept going for ten minutes, this feeling would disappear.

As time passed, Jack could sometimes hear the two Ravagers fighting and talking, but he wasn't interested in eavesdropping.

Soon, the ten minutes passed, but Jack was surprised that he still felt sleepy.

Instead, it got worse and made him think about it almost every second.

Jack wanted to hold on, but he couldn't resist this drowsiness that came from deep in his soul.

Finally, when he reached the third set of ten minutes, he couldn't hold on any longer, and his consciousness fell into a deep sleep.

The two Ravagers didn't notice at all. After about half a month, they finally arrived at Knowhere.

After explaining their purpose to the Collector's subordinates, A red-skinned woman quickly led them into a grand hall, and Jack was brought with them.

The large hall was full of display cases full of strange and interesting things.

Some might think this collection isn't very good and that the Collector is overrated.

But if they looked up and saw a constellation of showcases hanging from the ceiling, they might change their minds.

The two Ravagers were clearly startled, but they quickly recovered. They hadn't forgotten their purpose for coming here.

Octopus Guy casually threw Jack onto a nearby sofa, rubbed his sore shoulders, and muttered,

"This guy's body is really heavy."

"Look, there are two weak Ravagers!"

A weak-sounding voice came from behind the counter, and after a while, the Collector appeared.

He was wearing an unknown coat and looked like he never got enough sleep.

"Even though I don't think you have anything good to sell me, and I'm in a good mood today, I won't hold it against you for bothering me while I'm enjoying my collection."

"I'm sorry, Collector."

When hearing these words, Octopus Guy and One-Eyed Guy immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

The One-Eyed Guy quickly lowered his head and respectfully said, "We've found someone special, and we thought you might be interested, so we brought him here."

"Oh, let me take a look."

The Collector didn't seem to hear Octopus Guy's words as he pushed him aside and fixed his gaze on Jack's body lying on the sofa.

Just as he took a glimpse, his half-closed eyes widened in an instant.

"This...! This...! This is simply..."

The Collector's face turned red as if he had seen his lover. His head was filled with blood, and he yelled out in excitement,

"This is simply the most perfect body in the entire universe!"

At that moment, Jack had just woken up and heard these words.

"????"
