Chapter 278: Steve

The system notification sounded unexpectedly, causing Fang Mo to be momentarily startled.

"Huh?"

As if sensing something, Fang Mo looked up at the tree person not far away. The tree person, unaware of Fang Mo's gaze, continued to drink from the fountain.

As Fang Mo pondered how to approach, a creature resembling a small raccoon beside the tree person couldn't hold back any longer.

It slapped its forehead with its little paw and said helplessly, "Groot, can you stop this nonsense? Fountains aren't for drinking. Who knows if it's eco-water filtered from urine... Doesn't that disgust you?"

"..."

The tall tree person quickly wiped his mouth and shook his head innocently.

"You drank it, I saw you," the raccoon rolled its eyes. "Do you think lying can fool me? I am..."

Before it could finish, the raccoon's bounty detector suddenly beeped.

"It seems we have a target."

The raccoon lifted the detector, scanning the surroundings. When it passed a human, the device marked a red circle, "Ah, a foolish human. Let's see how much you're worth... What? Forty thousand! Haha... Groot, we're rich!"

However, when the raccoon turned to its companion.

A strange man had appeared next to tree person Groot, happily 'spitting water' into the fountain, while Groot continued to drink as if nothing had happened.

"Fuck! Dude, what the hell are you doing!?"

The raccoon was furious, pulling out its modified gun, "Do you think it's easy to bully my brother? I'll blow your head off!"

"?"

Groot was also startled, not understanding why his friend was angry. He wiped his mouth, stood up, and looked at the two in confusion.

The atmosphere was quite tense.

No one expected the furry little creature to have such a fiery temper.

But what the raccoon didn't expect was the man opposite it looked at him, slowly turned around, his pants still properly on, but the water stream was coming from one of his fingers.

In the next second, the man pulled out a cup, caught some water from his finger, and then drank it all.

"???"

The little raccoon was also baffled when it saw this scene.

"Then... how about we make a bet?"

Fang Mo also laughed after hearing this: "My mission is to capture someone, and I bet I can do it in one second."

After saying that, Fang Mo took out a piece of gold from his pocket: "This is the stake."

"Hahaha, if you want to give me something, just say it."

Seeing this, Rocket Raccoon also laughed: "Okay, I'll bet with you..."

"This is your own word."

Fang Mo also became amused, and then he raised his hands and shouted loudly, "The world! (Za Warudo!)"

With Fang Mo's action, the Time Sword in the storage space was suddenly activated. The static time field rapidly expanded outwards in a spherical shape. In the blink of an eye, everything lost its color, followed by utter silence, as all things fell into an eternal pause.

Fang Mo looked at Star-Lord in the distance.

That is, Peter Quill, the protagonist of the movie Guardians of the Galaxy.

At this moment, he had no idea of the impending crisis, still flirting with an alien girl.

Yes, in the original story, it was he who found the Orb and then tried to sell it to a middleman on Xandar. Accidentally, he revealed information about Ronan, scaring the middleman, who refused to trade with him. The moment he walked out of the store, he was targeted by Rocket Raccoon and Gamora.

The former wanted to capture him for a bounty.

The latter wanted to take the Orb from him.

However, because of Fang Mo, Gamora is still in jail on Earth, so currently, only Rocket Raccoon and his team should be targeting Star-Lord.

Thinking is one thing, but Fang Mo's actions didn't stop.

He casually walked over, carried Star-Lord on his shoulder, and then slowly returned to his original position.

"The next second, time begins to flow."

Along with Fang Mo's words, the Time Sword vibrated again, and the previously static time returned to normal. Pedestrians continued to walk on the streets, and the fountain started spraying water again.

"What are you shouting about? One second is about to pass... Fuck!?"

Rocket Raccoon had just opened his mouth to mock, but in the next second, he saw Fang Mo already holding his prey, and this bizarre scene almost scared him out of his fur: "What the heck! How did you do that?"

"Huh?"

The lifted Star-Lord was also stunned: "Wait, where am I?"
