Alien Relic Hunter

"Oh..." Hearing this, Hound suddenly smiled evilly at Ke Lan, "Don't be nervous, it's just meeting your parents... there's nothing to be afraid of."

"I'm not nervous." Ke Lan said helplessly.

"I know, I know...the more I say I'm not nervous, the more nervous I become. It's normal. After all, you are still a baby, and you have no experience in this kind of thing..."

"Why do I think your words sound weird?"

"Hey... don't talk nonsense. I'm talking about the matter. If you think wrong, that's your problem." The hound's chin suddenly pretended to be serious, "Actually, you can just ask Ivan about this kind of thing. Yes, his experience should be a reference for you..."

"Ke Lan shouldn't be able to refer to my experience." Ivan glanced at Ke Lan with some sympathy, then looked at Natasha who was sitting next to him, covering her mouth and laughing softly, shaking her head and saying: " My parents and Natasha’s parents were neighbors and they watched me grow up.”

"Oh, childhood sweethearts, right?" Hound tilted his head, "That's okay, Ke Lan, just wish yourself well."

"My parents will not attend this cocktail party." Zofia elegantly picked up a piece of dragonfly, lightly scalded it in the boiling pot, turned her chopsticks, and put it on the plate in front of Ke Lan. .

Not only Ke Lan, but even Hound and the others were briefly shocked - Zofia's move would have seemed quite natural if Natasha had done it to Ivan. After all, The two are already an old couple... But Zofia is different from Natasha. Her current demeanor is completely different from the original impression in everyone's mind.

The Hound even once wondered whether Ke Lan had found some evil secret method of mind control from the legacy of the Alpha civilization, which made the originally aloof wealthy lady look like this.

But Zofia's movements seemed very natural, without any deliberate or artificial feeling. After helping Ke Lan pick up the things, she rinsed a piece of meat for herself... From her proficiency in using chopsticks and her familiarity with the ingredients Judging from the degree of control, it is obviously not the first time for this young lady to eat hot pot.

"...Who are the people attending the reception?" Ke Lan looked at the piece of meat in front of him, and the hand holding the chopsticks froze in mid-air. He could only relieve the embarrassment at the moment by changing the topic.

"They are all outstanding talents from the younger generation of major families. The age limit for participants is under thirty-five years old... Some of the people attending the reception are to make friends with future partners in the same circle of interests, and some are here to advance. Get to know the future partner that the family has chosen for you... To be honest, this kind of wine would be very boring. If you didn't want to have contact with the Anderson family, I would have refused." Zofia replied road.

"Does this kind of cocktail party require an invitation letter to enter?" Ke Lan asked subconsciously.

"Everyone who receives the invitation letter can bring a companion to enter. As my fiancé, it is reasonable for me to enter with you." Zofia said, "However, with your current capital, even if You went to the reception alone, I don’t think the organizer will turn you away.”

"My current capital?" Ke Lan was slightly stunned. He didn't remember that he had any capital that could attract the attention of these wealthy plutocrats.

"The hunting group rankings were just updated fifteen minutes ago." Leighton shook the phone in his hand at Ke Lan, "Our 'Hunting God Hunting Group' only relies on the results obtained from one exploration mission of the bottomless sinkhole. The ranking points have already reached sixth place, and we are very close to the goal that the eldest lady set for us... Well, how do you put it, we are now like... like those stars. With..."

"'A Rising Star'." Hound added for Layton, "Not only within the circle, but also outside, the name of the Hunting God Hunting Group has become very popular... After all, Ten Over the years, we are the only hunting group that has successfully found the core area of ​​the S-class ruins. In my opinion, it has only risen to sixth place this time. The experts responsible for the evaluation were still too conservative."

"In just these fifteen minutes, I have received cooperation applications from more than a dozen consortiums... Although the eldest lady is our shareholder, she bought shares in a private capacity and not in the name of the Soma Consortium, and she holds The shareholding is not large. In the eyes of outsiders, the Hunting God Hunting Group is still an independent asset held by our founders... Such a big cake that has just been baked, but anyone with some ability will always I want to get a share of the pie.”

When the hunting group was created, the contact information reserved in the registration information was the hunting group's email address. Although the hunting group did not like to deal with trouble, among them, he was the only one who was the most effective at handling these matters. With experience, coupled with the special relationship between him and the military, it can also bring a lot of convenience to the development of the hunting group.

From a certain perspective, the hound is more like the housekeeper in this group.

"If you are someone who wants to invest, whether it is technical investment or financial investment, we must reject it... We must maintain absolute control over the hunting group." Ke Lan said, "If it is a business cooperation, we can consider it, such as free of charge Providing us with equipment and funds, and then using our reputation for advertising and the like, I don’t mind this form of cooperation.”

"Most of them want to invest in our hunting group... After all, what these capitals like most is the business of making money." The hunting group smacked his lips and said, "As for those who want us to endorse our products, There is only one company that specializes in producing civilian outdoor equipment, and its name is 'Singularity Professional Equipment Manufacturing Company'..."

"I have used QiDian products before, and the quality is pretty good, especially the cables and equipment. If I remember correctly, they also participated in the bidding for military equipment for field troops."

"But we lost, and the winner was 'Arthur' in the end." Hound shrugged.

"That's because the quotation of 'Arthur' is lower. What the military needs is the lowest possible price after meeting the performance requirements... After all, military expenditures are limited, and after excluding the cost-effectiveness factor, if we look at quality alone,' Singularity's products are still better than 'Arthur', but they withdrew from the military field after losing the bid, and their market share is relatively small, so they are not as famous as 'Arthur'." Leighton said , "Their biggest problem is that they are expensive. A level 3 standard wear-resistant cable costs two hundred credits per meter, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people. If the equipment is customized, it will be even more expensive."
