Alien Relic Hunter.

Chapter 316 The New Headquarters
"I will definitely find that person..." said the young woman, she took out a painkiller bottle from the pocket of her overalls, poured out a pill from it, and threw it into her mouth, "Then, kill him ..."

"Why are you obsessed with hatred?" The man whom the woman called the major stopped, "He may have died long ago. You tortured yourself for ten years in order to avenge an undead. Why bother?"

"Maybe he's still alive... don't you want to give an explanation to the 140 people who died?" The woman clenched her fists, and the joints of the mechanical prosthesis creaked.

He bent down, picked up a squashed cigarette butt on the ground, squeezed it into his palm, and said, "They are dead, but you are still alive...you should live for yourself, not for the dead...you are good 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. That drug may allow you to fall asleep without taking painkillers every night... However, the price will not be too cheap." The middle-aged man walked to the side of the mecha. In front of the skeleton, he inserted an extra-large hydraulic wrench into the gap between the skeleton's ankle joints, "I can only help you here at most, it's up to you whether you can make money for the medicine, Valentina .”

……

After Ke Lan returned to his residence, he called Layton. Layton was so excited that he couldn't even utter a complete sentence when he heard the news... Fortunately, the communication terminal used there was a landline. If so, it is estimated that he has crushed it.

However, when Ke Lan asked Layton if he wanted to participate in the competition in person, he calmed down a lot and refused again and again: "Forget it, I'm still very self-aware. For a competition of this size, you can watch it as a spectator." Just look at it... Those pilots who can reach the knockout stage are counted as one, they are all monsters... Maybe I can take it if you ask me to be a maintenance engineer, but the control technology is different from those professional players. Bi, I really can only be regarded as a third-rate guy."

"Isn't it?" Ke Lan was a little surprised, "Anyway, it's just for fun, and you don't necessarily have to get a ranking..."

"If you just want to play tickets, then of course there is 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, 29-year-old Andrew von Manstein, whose best result was in the individual comprehensive competition of the No.19 Ark Competition It is a pity that he died at the hands of heretical sects because of his father's greed.

"Hey, I'm just joking." Layton changed the subject, "Ace pilots with that kind of strength are either players who have received training and training from professional clubs since they were young, and those players who have a professional background; Retired elite pilots from the Armored Forces...the former is very difficult to find, and the transfer period has passed. As for the latter...the lucky ones who can survive to retirement are basically beyond the age limit. As for the early Retired... tsk... I'm afraid they don't even have the ability to take care of themselves."

Layton continued: "The only retired pilots who are of the right age, have enough practical experience, and are still in good health are the guys who were collectively expelled from the military because of discipline issues like the old dogs of the old dog. But The old dog’s army was almost all infantry, and the only armored soldiers were all tanks, and there were no mech pilots at all... If you want to find a suitable contestant, it is almost equivalent to finding a needle in a haystack.”

Layton chattered a lot, which shows that he is also eager to participate in this competition... It's just that the actual conditions are there, and only with the current resources of the Hunting God Hunting Group, they want to appear in the group stage. , It can almost be said to be a luxury.

Mechas are not difficult to obtain. As long as you have money, you can buy them at any time. What's more, the organizers of the competition have strict restrictions on the specifications of participating mechas. type……

But the hardest part is the man who controls the mecha.

The same basic model of competitive mecha, let an ace pilot and a cute new driver who just got his driver's license to drive, the performance can definitely be described as very different - here even walking Still trembling, the other side has already started parkour...

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

"I see. You are planning to use the VIP status to snatch 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, and we will have to line up first before lottery... For those like us who only have a few people Organization, it is impossible to snatch it." Layton said.

"The problem is that this kind of large-scale mecha can't play a big role in the exploration of the ruins... The most common four-meter-level and six-meter-level humanoid mechas can't even pass through the corridors inside the relics. What's the use?" Ke Lan couldn't help asking back.

"...There is always a time when it will come in handy, so be prepared, isn't it? Besides, when the hunting group expands, there must be a few big guys to take over the place? Even if you don't take it out and use it, put it at the gate of the headquarters Being a doorman is quite impressive!" Layton argued quickly, looking very much like the kind of brat who invents all kinds of reasons to persuade his parents to buy a toy he has long wanted.

"Oh, by the way, talking about the headquarters of the hunting group... how is the house looking for at the old dog's side?" Ke Lan said to the other end of the phone.

"I've found it a long time ago, and I'm waiting for you to finalize the final contract. I was going to tell you about it just now." Layton replied, "Dongsi District, Shengtang Commercial District, a six-storey building with an The well-decorated office building with an area of ​​1200 square meters also comes with a large enough underground warehouse, which can just be transformed into my workshop."

"Prosperous Tang business district? Didn't you mean to look for it in the newly built development zone? This kind of prosperous old district is very expensive, and the rent of that building can't scare people to death?" Ke Lan wondered, although located in the district The old business district in the central area is more advantageous than the remote new district from all angles, but the price/performance ratio alone is enough for Ke Lan to "pass" this option.

"Although the location is in the business district under the name of the Shengtang Consortium, this building actually belongs to the assets of 'Raytheon Heavy Industries'. They took the initiative to find the old dog. They wanted to sell this building at a low price on the grounds of business changes. rented an office building to us...the price they offered was even lower than the rent in the new development zone. At first I thought there was some trap, but after talking with the person in charge for a while, the old dog directly After drafting the contract, it’s just waiting for you to sign and make a final decision.”

"Raytheon Heavy Industries?" Ke Lan was taken aback for a moment, and immediately realized that Thor Heavy Industries' reputation in the field of vehicle manufacturing is not small, and behind them is the Ye's consortium of Ye Yan's family... It seems Well, the gift that little fat man gave him was far more than the VIP viewing card in his pocket.

"I see." Ke Lan said to Layton, "I'll go over to sign the contract right now, talk to everyone else, and plan to move everything to the new headquarters."
