Alien Relic Hunter

I will definitely find that person... the young woman said. She took out a painkiller bottle from the pocket of her overalls, poured a pill out of it, and threw it into her mouth, Then, kill him. …”

Why do you insist on holding on to hatred. The man whom the woman called a major stopped. He may have been dead a long time ago. You tortured yourself for ten years in order to avenge an undead. Why bother?

Maybe he is still alive...don't you want to give an explanation to the one hundred and forty-one people who died? The woman clenched her fists, and the joints of the mechanical prosthetic limbs clicked.

He bent down, picked up a crushed cigarette butt on the ground, pinched it into the palm of his hand, and said: They are dead, but you are still alive... You should live for yourself, not for the dead... You should be well Living is the best explanation for the dead.

He sighed and continued: So, I can't just watch you die.

...

I heard that Harmony Pharmaceutical Company's new drug will be on the market soon. It may allow you to sleep without taking painkillers every night...but I guess the price won't be too cheap. The middle-aged man walked to the mecha. In front of the skeleton, an extra-large hydraulic wrench was inserted into the gap between the skeleton's ankle joints. I can only help you so far. Whether you can earn money for the medicine depends on you, Valentina. .

…

After Ke Lan returned to his residence, he called Layton. After hearing the news, Layton was so excited that he couldn't even speak a complete sentence... Fortunately, the communication terminal used there was a landline. If it were a mobile phone, If so, he would probably have crushed it.

However, when Ke Lan asked Leighton if he wanted to participate in the competition in person, he calmed down a lot and refused repeatedly: Forget it, forget it, I am very self-aware. In a competition of this level, I can only watch it as a spectator. Just watch... Those pilots who can make it to the knockout round, one by one, are all monsters... If you ask me to be a maintenance engineer, I may be able to handle it, but the control technology is different from those professional players. No, I can really only be considered a third-rate person.

Isn't it? Ke Lan was a little surprised, It's just for fun anyway, and I don't necessarily have to get any ranking...

If you just want to play for fun, then of course it's no problem. Layton said, But... if you can find an ace pilot, then we may become a dark horse in the competition...

Ace pilot? Ke Lan couldn't help but think of Manstein's youngest son, the 29-year-old Andrew von Manstein. His best result was the individual in the 19th Ark Competition. The top four in the comprehensive competition should be able to get the title of Ace Pilot, but because of his father's greed, he died at the hands of a heretic sect, which is really a pity.

Hey, I'm just joking. Layton changed the topic, Ace pilots with that kind of ability are either players who have been trained and trained by professional clubs since childhood and have a professional background; Retired elite pilots from the armored forces...the former is hard to find, and the transfer period has passed now. As for the latter...the lucky ones who can survive until retirement are basically over the age limit. As for the early Those who have retired...tsk...I'm afraid they may not even have the ability to take care of themselves.

Layton continued: The only retired pilots who are of the right age, have enough actual combat experience, and are still in good health are those who were collectively expelled from the military due to disciplinary issues like Lao Gou's old subordinates. But. Lao Gou's original army was almost all infantry, and the few armored soldiers were all driving tanks, and there were no mecha pilots at all... If you want to find a suitable contestant, it is almost equivalent to finding a needle in a haystack.

Leighton chattered a lot, which showed that he was eager to participate in this competition... But the real conditions are there. With the current resources of the God Hunting Group, they want to appear in the group stage. , it can almost be said to be a luxury wish.

Mechas are not difficult to buy. As long as you have money, you can buy them at any time. What's more, the organizers of the event have strict restrictions on the specifications of participating mechas. It is impossible to have explosive modified mechas that cost a lot of money. type……

But what’s difficult is the person operating the mecha.

The same basic model competitive mecha is driven by an ace pilot and a newbie who just got his driver's license. The performance can definitely be described as world-wide difference - here he can't even walk. Still trembling, parkour has begun on the other side...

Actually, for the Yip Consortium, the content of the competition is secondary. Layton added, The most important thing is that you can see many new concept machines that have never been seen in this competition... Generally speaking, It is said that these next-generation bodies and corresponding enhanced accessories will be put on the market after the competition is over, and this competition can also be regarded as a large-scale launch conference for these new products. These things are what I am most interested in. .

I understand, you are planning to use your VIP status to grab the first shipment, right?

Hehe... How can we let go of such a good opportunity? If we wait for the official release, there will be more people rushing to buy. Then we will have to queue up first and then lottery... There are only a few people like us. It’s impossible to grab the organization,” Layton said.

The problem is that this kind of large mecha is not very useful in exploring ruins... The most common four-meter and six-meter humanoid mechas can't even pass through the tunnels inside the ruins. If you buy them, there will be What's the use? Ke Lan couldn't help but asked.

...There will always be times when it comes in handy, so be prepared, right? Besides, when the size of the hunting group expands, there must be a few big guys to control the situation, right? Even if you don't use it, just leave it at the door of the headquarters Being a janitor is awesome! Layton defended quickly, just like the kind of naughty kid who makes up all kinds of reasons to try to convince his parents to buy a toy he has loved for a long time.

Oh, by the way, the hunting group's headquarters... Lao Gou and his friends, how are they looking for a house? Ke Lan said to the other end of the phone.

The search has been done a long time ago. I'm just waiting for you to finalize the final contract. I was planning to tell you about this just now. Leighton replied, In East Fourth District, Shengtang Business District, there is a six-story building occupying The well-decorated office building covers an area of ​​1,200 square meters and comes with an underground warehouse large enough to be transformed into my workshop.

Shengtang Business District? Didn't you say that we should look for it in a newly built development zone? In such a prosperous old district, land is very expensive, and the rent of that building should scare people to death? Ke Lan asked a little puzzled. Although it is located in the district From all angles, the old commercial district in the center of the block has more advantages than the newer district in a remote location, but the cost-effectiveness alone is enough for Ke Lan to pass this option.

Although the location is within the business district under the name of Shengtang Consortium, this building actually belongs to the assets of 'Thor Heavy Industries'. They took the initiative to find Lao Gou and wanted to sell this building at a low price on the grounds of business changes. An office building was rented to us... The price they offered was even lower than the rent in the new development area. At first, I thought there was some trap, but after Laogou talked with their person in charge for a while, he directly I’ve drawn up the contract and I’m just waiting for you to sign it.”

Thor Heavy Industries? Ke Lan was stunned and immediately realized that Thor Heavy Industries is not a little famous in the field of vehicle manufacturing, and behind them is the Ye family consortium of Ye Yan's family... It seems that , the gift that the little fat man gave himself was far more than the VIP viewing card in his pocket.

I understand. Ke Lan said to Layton, I'm going to sign the contract right now. You talk to the others and prepare to move everything to the new headquarters.
