Alien Relic Hunter

Ke Lan spent half an hour brewing his emotions and preparing his words, and then practiced several times with the expressionless Akira Asano before carefully dialing the exclusive number Zofia left for him.

"To be honest..." Seeing Ke Lan anxiously waiting for the call to be connected, Hound laughed a little narrowly, and whispered to Layton and others beside him, "I always feel that this kid doesn't look like he's fighting. Borrowing money over the phone is like confessing your love to a girl you've had a crush on for a long time."

"I think so too." Layton nodded in agreement.

The phone rang for more than ten seconds before it was connected. Zofia's somewhat lazy voice came from the receiver - she seemed to be resting just now, but was awakened by Ke Lan's call.

"Ah...is it Miss Soma?" Ke Lan suddenly felt nervous for no reason, and suddenly forgot most of the lines he had just memorized.

"...This title is too harsh!" The voice on the other end of the receiver suddenly became a little cold and stern, as if a teacher was teaching a student who didn't understand the rules.

"Uh, Zofia?" Ke Lan was slightly startled and changed his title.

"That's pretty much it."

"I have something to ask you for help with..."

"After an attack like that, shouldn't the first call you made to me be to check on my safety?"

"Ah this..."

"Forget it, I'm just kidding. I'm surprised that you took the initiative to call me. If you have anything to say, just tell me." Zofia seemed to have suddenly switched to being the captain of the "Pioneer" In that state, Ke Lan even heard the sound of fingers tapping the keyboard rapidly.

"My teammates and I planned to register a hunting group, but we couldn't raise the initial registration capital..."

Before Ke Lan finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zofia: "You are planning to register a consortium-level hunting group, right? You need an initial registered capital of 300 million credit points, but you don't have that much cash on hand, so you plan to Come to me to borrow money?"

"Well, that's about it. Of course, it's not a free loan. We are willing to transfer 8% of the shares of the newly registered hunting group to you as interest on the loan... I think you should know our strength. We only need to explore a large-scale The interest rate can exceed the vast majority of periodic financial products.”

"I know." Zofia said, "I will transfer the money to your account later. I don't need any interest. It's up to you to pay back the money whenever you want. It doesn't matter if you don't."

"No, no, no... I think you misunderstood what I meant," Ke Lan said quickly, "We want to set up an independent consortium-level hunting group on our own, instead of relying on the name of the Soma Consortium..."

"You just misunderstood what I meant." Zofia corrected, "The family is actually very dissatisfied with our engagement. They think that you are not worthy of me at all - but if you can If a consortium-level hunting group is run, I think the opposition will be much smaller. If possible, I even hope that you can directly develop a new consortium based on this hunting group."

Ke Lan: "...???"

"Of course I know the strength of your teammates, and I know even better that your abilities are far more than that. As long as you have enough resources to support it, your achievements should not be limited to a top hunting group. I believe in my own vision. , you will never misjudge the person." Zofia continued.

"Are you praising me?" Ke Lan said with a bit of laughter and laughter. Rather than saying it was a compliment, he felt it was more like flattery.

If you really want to have this ability, then the big financial groups must not suppress you to death... After all, no one wants a strong new force to emerge and take another piece of the cake that is not quite enough.

Just like what is written in those fantasy novels, "This child will become a big problem in the future and must not be kept"...

"I'm just stating my own judgment." Zofia said calmly.

"...Actually, we didn't think too much about it. It would be good if we could run the hunting group well first. As for the money, I will return it to you immediately after the registration is completed."

…

Three hundred million yuan is actually not a small amount of money for Zofia. Although the Soma Consortium has a large business, most of its assets are fixed assets, stocks and bonds, and the actual proportion of working capital is less than to one-third of the total assets, and Zofia can freely call even less.

Regarding the details of the registration of the consortium-level hunting group, the two discussed in detail for more than ten minutes. In the end, Zofia only symbolically received one ten thousandth of the shares of the new hunting group as interest. In addition, she also Ke Lan made a request: the new hunting group must rank fifth among all hunting groups within three months after registration.

The ranking of this hunting group has nothing to do with personnel, funds, or scale. The only reference data is the number and gold content of completed exploration tasks. Before the hunting group was officially established, Ke Lan and the others completed explorations in their own name or as a temporary team. Tasks are not included at all.

A huge amount of 300 million credit points was deposited into Ke Lan's personal account within one minute after the call ended. By this time, Hound and Ivan had already completed the preparation of written materials for registering a hunting group.

Although formal registration requires going to the office of the relevant department to complete, the preliminary data uploading can be completed on the Internet. But at this moment, Hound and the others were stuck by a problem.

"By the way... our hunting group needs a name, but the question is... what should it be called?" The hound's hand hovered over the touch pad of the laptop, looking undecided, while the cursor on the screen stopped at "Hunting group name:" The space at the back flashed one after another.

"How about calling it 'Glacier Hunting Group'? We all met at the Glacier Ruins, and the team started from that time. I think this name is very meaningful." Layton was the first to suggest.

"Where's your brain?" The hound glanced at him disdainfully, "Such an ordinary name has been registered by someone a long time ago... If the hunting group couldn't have the same name, I guess there would be a lot of people with this name. "

"...This name has actually been registered? Ah..." Layton wailed in frustration, "Then...how about 'Crash Hunting Group'?"

"Unlucky, you idiot." The hound was too lazy to look at Layton, and instead turned his attention to Ivan.

"Don't look at me, I'm a loser in naming." Ivan waved his hand and said.
