Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 104 Special Advisors
"So...Mr. Ke Lan, I am afraid that the agreement made by the Soma Consortium with you will not be able to be fulfilled." Caroline said with a trace of apology in her tone, "But we will try our best to keep it as secret as possible, especially On the side of the Security Bureau, the Soma Consortium will take all the responsibilities, and we will also compensate you with a generous 'liquidated damages'."

"What's more... the captain also has a personal compensation for you, but whether you accept this compensation is entirely up to you."

"What compensation?" Ke Lan asked.

"The captain wants to hire you as a special consultant of the Soma Consortium. The annual salary is 6 million credits a year, plus the L8-level personnel and material transfer authority within the Soma Consortium... I need to add here, the L8-level The authority is equivalent to the senior director of the consortium, second only to the general director of the board of directors."

"Is this...to recruit me?" Even though Ke Lan didn't think much about power and wealth, he was still taken aback by the price.

"If this can be regarded as solicitation, I am afraid that the headhunting departments of all consortiums in the entire Ark will drop their jaws..." Caroline glared at Ke Lan, "This is the captain's use of her special job as one of the legal heirs of the Soma Consortium. The benefits that your status has won for you, the job of this special consultant, to put it bluntly, is a nominal job, and you can enjoy the corresponding benefits without doing anything... To be honest, I am a bit sour."

Caroline gritted her teeth and said the last few words.

"Damn? Your captain must have taken a fancy to this kid, right?!" The hound turned his head, looked at Ke Lan's face carefully, and then said: "Although he is not ugly, he is not handsome either. You don't have the potential to be a little boy!"

"Old dog, I suggest you stop being a hunter, and become a cool writer, maybe you can become popular." Ke Lan said angrily, and at the same time, he was wondering in his heart... What Zofia threw away Is it really just to win me over with such a tempting olive branch?But the problem is that the value I put on the surface is just an ordinary relic hunter. Although I can barely reach the threshold of elite level in this industry, there are many people who are better than me...Ke Lan really couldn't figure out what he could do to win her over so much.

As the legal heir of a large consortium, anything Zofia does can be regarded as a business, but no matter how you look at this business, it is a loss-it is like buying a box of gold bars. Like an ordinary cotton coat, there are such cotton coats everywhere in the store, and the price is clearly marked, as long as one percent... or even one thousandth of this box of gold bars can be bought, and she even only needs Take out a random gold bar from this box, and you can buy more high-end furs and silks...

But why did she want to buy this one?

Ke Lan's heart trembled suddenly, could it be... She discovered those secrets of her own?

The so-called special advisor is just a bait?
Ke Lan became alert all of a sudden, and he tentatively asked Caroline: "Uh... can you give me some time to think about it?"

"You need to consider all of this?" Caroline's expression was even more exaggerated than before, and even the hound looked at Ke Lan in surprise—"Ke Lan, are you crazy? The opportunity to become famous is right in front of you. You still have to think about it?"

"Eh? How about this, old dog, you replace me as this special consultant? I'll give you the chance to make a fortune, how about it?" Ke Lan said suddenly.

"What?" The hound squinted his eyes and waved his hands again and again, "Forget it, I'm not interested, I don't like to deal with those self-proclaimed big men, besides, I don't have to worry about food, clothing, or lack of food. Spend money, don’t go, don’t go.”

"What do you mean?" Caroline said with a trace of sullenness in her tone, "Miss Zofia paid a high price for this special consultant position, why did she come to you, it's like being everywhere on the street. You can pick up, worthless things?!"

Caroline snatched the document from the hound's hand, and said angrily: "I said at the beginning, whether to accept it or not is entirely up to you to decide. If you don't want this position, you can refuse."

"I mean... can you give me a little more time..." Ke Lan gestured with his eyes to be wrapped into a mummy-like body, "Even if you want to accept it, I can't get a job in my current state. "

"Then I suggest that you should think about it for no more than a month." Caroline's tone slowed down a little.

"why?"

"Because the job application has been approved at the headquarters of the consortium... that is to say, the salary has already been paid. If you do not complete the employment procedures within one month, the first month's salary will be returned to the financial department."

"Then you have nothing to lose."

"You man! I can't understand what you're talking about! I'm thinking about you!" Caroline finally reached the limit of her patience and yelled out, "In short, whether you accept or reject, Just make this call when the time comes—Okay, I still have to work, if you pack up your things, hurry up and get on the plane!"

After finishing speaking, the female first officer turned her head and left, and when she went out, she slammed the door hard.

"This girl... has a bit of a temper." The hound stroked the stubble on his chin, then turned to Ke Lan and said.

"But I don't feel bad." Ke Lan nodded, "Are you going back with me too?"

"Otherwise?... You are lucky to come back alive this time. Do you remember the agreement before departure? If there is any danger, you must stop the operation immediately." The hound said seriously, "It's a pity... the doctor... ..."

"Actually, we have succeeded." Ke Lan said.

"Success? What do you mean?"

"You remember that stalagmite I mentioned?"

"It's... that thing that's afraid of even the Seed of Corrosion?"

"Yes! That thing should still be there, right?"

"Yes! The equipment you brought up, including those in the backpack, I let Layton guard... The people on the boat didn't say anything, but the gang of little bastards from the Aurora Consortium clamored for a piece of the pie. Almost got into a fight."

"What happened later? Our people were not injured, right? Was anything stolen?" Ke Lan suddenly became a little nervous.

"No, just rest assured." The Hound waved his hand disapprovingly, "At first, that guy named Benson was quite arrogant, but in the end, Akira Asano used a knife to kill everything on his head within a second. I shaved all the hair, and then I was honest... If you want to talk about me, Asano Akira is still sloppy, I should have shaved off the hair in his crotch... Uh, yes, that stalagmite ,Any questions?"

"He can save Ivan."

"How to save it?" The hound froze for a moment, "You mean, like the second corpse you encountered, use this stalagmite to nail Ivan..."

"No, the remains have been completely alienated, so this method is used. For an infection like Ivan's level, you only need to knock some fragments from the stalagmites and bury them in the body, which should be able to suppress it." The alienated cells of the seed of erosion."

"...will it work?"

"I'm more than 40% sure this time." Ke Lan said, "The seeds of erosion in that corpse were suppressed for more than [-] years, and it was not revived until I pulled out the stalagmites, and the alienated cells in Ivan's body It hasn't even formed a 'core' yet...maybe it can be directly eradicated with stalagmites."
