Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 309 Reception
……

the next day.

The location of the reception is located in the "Empire Banquet Hall" on the top floor of a five-star hotel owned by the Morgan Consortium in West Third District.

As soon as Ke Lan got out of the car, a well-dressed waiter came to guide him and Zofia to the VIP elevator located in the center of the building.

The hotel of the Morgan consortium has a total of 96 floors, and the height of the main building exceeds 1000 meters. It has completely broken through the dome of the inner wall of the ark, and is nested with a high tower on the outside.

From the 66th floor, there are two layers of windows on the periphery of the hotel—in addition to the glass curtain wall of the hotel itself, there is also a layer of Ark portholes with strong defenses on the periphery. Looking out through these two layers of windows, The guests of the hotel can not only see the towering buildings of the ark's superstructure and the floating airport, but also the horizon of Alpha Star in the distance, and the scenery on the wilderness is even more panoramic.

In stark contrast to the desolate and rough exterior landscape, it is the luxurious and exquisite interior decoration of the hotel-the warm and jade-like marble floor covers almost every inch of the ground, and all the aisles and corridors are covered with thick and soft pulleys. Pile carpets, precious metal and solid wood decorations can be seen everywhere... These things may have been standard equipment for every five-star hotel in the old era, but in this era of scarce supplies, it is no exaggeration to say that if you want to do this To this extent, the cost is definitely more than a hundred times that of the old era.

And the "Empire Banquet Hall" on the 96th floor, its gorgeousness has risen by more than one level, especially the huge crystal ceiling that hangs the entire ceiling, it can be called a priceless work of art—— As the owner of the hotel, he absolutely disdains to use the cheap products produced by the industrial assembly line. Every light tube in this crystal ceiling is polished by craftsmen purely by hand. There are fine reliefs, when the light passes through these reliefs, because of the angle of refraction, these light tubes will emit eye-catching brilliance.

The production of these crystal light tubes alone is a huge project, but in Ke Lan's view, they have no practical effect at all except to show off their skills and wealth.

When Ke Lan and Zofia entered the Imperial Banquet Hall, many well-dressed young people had gathered here, holding goblets, gathering in twos and threes, talking about some important or unimportant things ; Waiters carrying trays shuttled between the crowd and the wine tables, and the white air-conditioning filled the ice buckets filled with wine bottles-for these people, the monthly alcoholic beverage limit established by the Ark management does not exist Yes, whether it is by paying high taxes or directly buying quotas that the other party does not use from ordinary people, they have countless ways to bypass the shackles of the rules...

And the vast majority of ordinary residents don't even know that there is such a hotel on the Ark—even those who go out to work, when they see the towering buildings on the upper floor of the Ark, they will subconsciously think that these are Military buildings, they can't imagine the luxurious life in these high towers... Just take a glass of wine from the waiter's tray, and its value can be worth the miners' labor income for several months.

Ke Lan couldn't help frowning.

He didn't feel disgusted, but felt a little ridiculous... For some reason, a picture of a group of ants happily holding a banquet around a piece of carrion discarded by humans suddenly popped up in his mind.

"Zofia, is this the fiancé you chose for yourself?" Just as Ke Lan was looking at the layout of the banquet hall, a voice came from behind him.

Ke Lan turned his head. It was a tall and thin man in a light beige suit. His hair color was the same as Zofia's pale blonde. He must be from the Soma family.

"Ke Lan, this is my third uncle, Luche Soma; third uncle, he is the one you mentioned, Ke Lan." Zofia introduced them.

Third uncle?Ke Lan was slightly taken aback, didn't he say that only the younger generation can participate in this reception?But judging from his face, Zofia's third uncle looks like he is in his early thirties... But then again, in a wealthy family like the Soma family, an old guy who is five or sixty years old marries a 60-year-old It is not uncommon for a young wife who is years old to have a child when she is old - unlike a woman who will go through menopause when she is 20 years old, a man will still have fertility even if he is more than 50 years old, as long as he is properly maintained.

Ke Lan noticed that when Lu Che looked at him, there was a trace of disdain in his eyes that was hard to hide, but he didn't express this disdain directly. After Zofia finished the introduction, he still took the initiative to reach out to Ke Lan. hands.

"I heard that your hunting group is developing well, and even found the core center of an S-level relic. It's really a formidable young man."

"It's just luck." Ke Lan said modestly, and the two shook hands, and taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Che took a step closer, lowered his voice and said to Ke Lan: "Then I hope you can have such an opportunity every time." good luck."

For the high-risk industry of relic hunters, Lu Che looked down on him from the bottom of his heart-it is undeniable that the top elites in this industry do not have low incomes. the best way to live.However, no relic hunter can guarantee that he can complete every task alive... In Lu Che's view, it is obviously a very irrational move for Zofia to choose a relic hunter as her fiancé.

Unless the guy named Ke Lan in front of him turns to behind-the-scenes operations after accumulating enough funds, stops exploring the ruins, and at the same time expands the size of the hunting group under his hands, using capital operation as the main means of profit, his respect for this young man The perception will change... Of course, the premise is that this young relic hunter has the ability to survive until then.

For a hunting group with only six hunters, even if it is a consortium-level hunting group, it will take too long to develop into a behemoth that can have equal dialogue qualifications with the Soma Consortium. Lu Che feels that this It is simply an impossible task.

In this competition, Zofia is at a disadvantage. It is reasonable for her to gamble, but it is too risky to bet on a relic hunter... risk It is completely out of proportion to the income, this is definitely a foolish move.

"Excuse me." Ke Lan was not angry, but smiled at Lu Che, turned around and stopped a waiter, took two glasses of champagne from the tray, and handed one of them to the person beside him. Zofia.

Lucher, on the other hand, chose whiskey with a much higher alcohol content. The clear brown liquid was gently shaking in the footless whiskey glass, and the ice cubes collided with the thick glass wall, making a crisp sound, but before he could After taking the first sip, there was a slight commotion from the other side of the banquet hall.

"What's going on?" Lu Che frowned, with a hint of displeasure on his face.
