Twin Cities: I am the man of many myths

Chapter 16 Li Ke's Makeshift Team

"So, your meeting with her was just an accident?"

Marsson looked at Jinx, then at Li Ke, and always felt that something was strange.

This is very strange.

First, how did Li Ke become so strong? He could kill the people that Marson feared in just a few moves. Second, how could Jinx, a terrifying lunatic, follow Li Ke so obediently?

No, wait, compared to the fact that Li Ke suddenly became stronger, the fact that Jinx actually listened to Li Ke was what surprised Marsan the most, okay? !

Who among the gang members in the gutter doesn’t know that the Godfather of Zaun has a blue-haired psychopath under his command?
Countless gangs, barons, and gang members were killed by that woman. The Wildfire Gang even directly said that she was a lunatic, and they had many conflicts with Jinx.

Moreover, the gangs were also spreading the word privately that every time there was a big commotion in Piltover, it was most likely related to this crazy woman. And now, this crazy woman was leaning against Li Ke's back, pinching snacks with her fingers and putting them into her mouth.

Marsan really couldn't imagine how Li Ke did it - calm a madman down.

"Jinx, take her to take a bath first." Li Ke didn't know what Marsson was thinking. He reached out and patted Jinx's shoulder.

Because at this moment the little guy sitting quietly on the sofa was leaning forward and backward, and his face was obviously very sleepy. After looking at the time, Li Ke found that it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.

"Help her take a bath?" Jinx subconsciously wanted to refute, but she didn't know what she thought of, she nodded and agreed: "Okay, okay, I'll do it."

As if she could find some fun in it, she jumped down from the stool and waved to the little girl, "Hey, kid, come here."

When the little girl heard Jinx calling her, she got off the sofa without saying a word, pushed the hat down on her head, and quickly followed Jinx.

She went forward and was about to hug one of Jinx's legs, but Jinx reached out and pressed her head: "Don't get so close to me, I just took a shower yesterday."

The little girl who stretched out her hands was stunned for a moment, and her eyes dimmed, but Jinx's next action and words made her eyes brighten up again.
"Hey, little mute, do you like the tattoos on my body? Let me tell you a little secret, these tattoos are not real. But if you like, I can also draw one for you, the same as mine." Jinx touched the cloud pattern on her abdomen, and with a little force, the pattern faded a lot.

“I love drawing.”

She reached out and rubbed the little girl's head hard.

When Li Ke heard what Jinx said, he immediately showed a surprised expression.

What? That was painted on?

Not to mention, Li Ke really didn't know that Jinx's tattoos were painted on. He thought Jinx really had tattoos. After all, for children in Zaun, tattoos are not a taboo, and it is normal for underage children to have a few tattoos.

However, as long as it is drawn, it will not affect one's civil service examination.

Hey, wait, why did I suddenly think of taking the civil service exam?
To take civil service exams, you have to go to Piltover, right?
That's it, Jinx lost this right since she was born.

Li Ke had a strange expression on his face, and for a moment he was thinking a little too far ahead.

By the way, Li Ke doesn’t like tattoos either. I guess few serious people would like a rune mage, right?

But tattoo stickers are different. This is a fun plus point~
When Marsan saw Jinx leave, he became bolder, took a deep breath and looked at Li Ke: "Li Ke, I have something to say."

"Please say."

"I don't know how you became so strong, but Li Ke, I want to ask you a favor." Marson looked at Li Ke seriously. He hesitated for a moment, then said, "I want to work with you."

"Follow me?" Li Ke understood what Marson meant. He opened his mouth and was about to speak, but Marson interrupted him.

"You've all seen it. The Cimu Gang is finished. Mark died at your hands. But what about me? I can't survive in the gutter alone. For a guy like me, I can only huddle together with others for warmth and do whatever I can to survive.

Otherwise, I would just become a screw that can be manipulated at will by those in power, but I've had enough of that kind of life, Li Ke, I've really had enough."

Marsan reached up to his head with his intact hand and grabbed his hair. He squeezed out a few words from his throat: "You are different. With the strength you have now, you can definitely occupy a place and become the boss of your own business."

Zaan is a place where the loudest fists make the loudest voices, and money and power are controlled by one thing: strength.

"Just me? And you too?" Li Ke frowned. He looked at Marson and saw endless emotional energy pouring out of Marson's body, adding to the energy bar of the Soul Lotus.

Although the quantity and quality are far inferior to what Jinx contributed, it is still far more than the energy that Li Ke can absorb when he comes into contact with others.

Li Ke suddenly had an idea. Perhaps the "emotions" he released could add more energy to his energy bar?

It's no surprise that Jinx can increase so much.
Jinx is too "pure". In her world, there are only three kinds of people: strangers, dead people, and relatives.

She doesn't care about strangers and she can't deal with the dead, so her relatives are the only place where Jinx can vent her emotions. Is this why Jinx becomes Li Kebang's eldest sister?
If the source of the Soul Lotus energy bar increase is really what Li Ke wants.
Then maybe Li Ke really needs to consider what Marsson said.

Building power is to expand one's external influence, enhance the soul lotus energy bar, and increase the number of descents.

The reason why Li Ke can sit peacefully in this room now is because of the Soul Lotus, which is his capital.

If that's really what he thought, then he should really make some preparations for his team.

Because Li Ke didn't intend to work for Silko, he wouldn't join Silko's camp just because he had a good relationship with Jinx, but at the same time, Li Ke wasn't going to join Piltover like Vi did. There are too many people discussing whether Silko is right or wrong on the Internet. You can see posts evaluating Silko by just browsing a few related forums. People's evaluations are polarized, but in summary, Silko did want to lead Zaun to regain its dignity, but at the same time, his radical behavior did bring disaster to the people of Zaun.

He allowed the alchemy barons to oppress the people, focused on the long-term future, but ignored the cries for help around him.

Yes, big shots only look at the “long term” and “results”, but Li Ke is not a big shot.

He cares more about the present.

Li Ke raised his head, looked at Marson and sat up straight: "Tell me what you think, Marson, I want to listen."

"You are not alone. Remember Willa and the others? And Manzu, they are still alive, struggling to survive in various gangs. I can go find them. We will all be your people and work for you. We can rebuild a new Black Alley." Marsan added seriously: "This incident made me realize one thing. Maybe the Wildfire Gang is right. We can learn from the Wildfire Gang's philosophy."

"But just having people is not enough." Li Ke shook his head.

Zaan has no shortage of willing people, what it lacks is strength.

Weapons are the most important thing.

Marson thought for a moment and narrowed his eyes: "Are you referring to weapons?"

"Or else?"

"."

Marsan's expression became strange: "But don't you have her by your side? Is there any weapon maker in Zaun who is smarter and more powerful than her?"

Yes
Isn't this Jinx?

Li Ke nodded and asked Marson to gather the people first. If the number was large enough, he would consider it carefully.

When Marsan heard this, he stood up immediately.

"Marson, your injury hasn't healed yet. Don't you plan to rest for two days first?" Seeing Marsson about to leave, Li Ke tried to keep him.

Malson refused.

The reason given is -

"Forget it, Li Ke. Didn't you see the way Bao Bao looked at me before? If I stay here, it's not impossible for her to come out and shoot me at night."

"Baobao has changed. She is no longer the greedy kid we knew. She is now Jinx, Silko's Jinx. I don't know how you get along with her, but anyway, you have to be careful."

"Okay, Marson."

Li Ke interrupted Marson impatiently and said softly, "Whether she is Bomb or Jinx, what does it matter? She is nice to me, so I will be nice to her. Does it have anything to do with her name, who she belongs to, or what she has done?"

"Even if it's Fandel or Jinx, he will love her."

"You can go now. Come find me when you've done something good."

Li Ke didn't want to explain to Marson. Of course, he knew that Jinx had done a lot of wrong things, but, is your ass clean, Marson?

My, Li Ke’s, butt isn’t clean either.

No, in Zaun, few people have clean butts.

Even Fandel made many stupid mistakes.

What's more, there is still time for everything.

Even Vi can forgive Jinx, and you say she can’t. Who are you?
Marsson looked at Li Ke, and seeing that Li Ke was serious, he took back his words, nodded, and left.

At the same time, at the corner of the second floor, Jinx, who had been eavesdropping for a while, heard that there was no sound from the first floor, so she looked down at the little girl who had changed into her T-shirt. Her clothes looked like a skirt on her, going down to her calves.

Although she is very thin, Jinx is not actually short. She is 164cm tall.
The child was looking up at her. Seeing this, Jinx snorted twice and reached out to rub her wet hair hard to prevent her from seeing her current expression.

The little girl raised her head hard, not knowing why Jinx suddenly did this.

She was very smart, otherwise she would not have been able to escape from the hands of the Alchemist Baron. Therefore, after only one day of getting along with him, she knew one thing, that is, Jinx would only rub her head when she was happy.

Now, she rubbed her head.

Seeing Jinx smiling gently with clear eyes, she also opened her mouth and showed her toothless smile to Jinx.

Jinx frowned and pretended to be disgusted: "Your smile is really ugly, where are your front teeth?"

Having said that, the hand on the little girl's head rubbed it hard twice.
