Twin Cities: I am the man of many myths

Chapter 45 New Energy
After carrying Jinx back to the Lotus Gang, Li Ke left the girl to Isa. After playing with the two girls at home for a while, he got up and left. Jinx didn't say anything, but after Li Ke left, she took Isa to tinker with the device she had been researching recently.

"Go and get that thing, Isa, I want to give Li Ke a surprise." Jinx put on a pair of large windproof glasses that covered the upper half of her face. She pursed her exposed lips, and her big blue eyes sparkled.

At this moment, she had specially put on a yellow oil-proof jacket and was squatting in front of a precision instrument, tinkering with the instrument with a wrench.

Isa listened to Jinx's words very much. She stood up and ran to the table, opened the messy drawer, and then found what Jinx asked her to take, a seed, a seed that could be found everywhere in the upper city, but in Zaun, it was really a rare thing.

Rare does not refer to its value. After all, if you go to Piltover to look for seeds, you can find a few just by grabbing a handful from the soil. The reason why it is a rare thing is that the land and environment of Zaun do not allow the growth of plants at all.

Isa brought the seed to Jinx, who took it without looking back, picked up the seed, opened the top of the instrument with a wrench, and carefully placed the finger-sized brown seed into the instrument.

After pressing the button, Jinx and Isa leaned over the glass cover of the instrument and watched the light appear inside. The warm light enveloped the instrument.

Holding magnifying glasses, Jinx and Isa stuck their butts out, guarding the seed without any girlish image.

It is not just a seed, but also the beginning of changing Zaun.

Li Ke was very fast. He jumped and ran on the houses in the ditch. He rushed to Finn's territory as fast as he could.

The land now belongs to the Lotus Gang. In Zaan, there is no government or official statement. Whoever has the bigger fist and the more money has the final say. Therefore, even if the residents around the land are unwilling, they can only accept that the land has a new owner.

They just hope that this group called Lotus Gang can be kinder than the original Finn.

When Li Ke arrived at the scene, Ike was in the casino with a group of people. This casino belonging to Finn had been demolished beyond recognition. Wei and Marsson did not return to the Lotus Gang yesterday. They were waiting here for Ike to bring people over.

When he saw Li Ke coming, Ike stood up immediately, and a group of people wearing masks and carrying skateboards behind him also stood up.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Li Ke came up to Ike and asked.

"No, we just arrived not long ago." Ike shook his head and said.

He looked at Li Ke with a complicated expression. He really didn't know how Li Ke did it. He actually made an alchemist baron disappear silently.
What Li Ke accomplished so easily made Ike wonder what he had been doing all these years.
His companions believed that he would be the savior of Zaun and would lead them to change Zaun. With people's trust, Ekko gradually believed that he could do it. But now, looking at Li Ke, Ekko began to doubt it.

So, could it really be me who can change Zaan?

But as soon as this thought came to mind, Ike immediately killed it. This idea was not advisable!
As long as Zaan can get better, it doesn’t matter who changed it all or who led it all!

"Let me introduce him. He's Scar, the second-in-command of the Wildfire Gang." Ike introduced a man next to him. This man had a very special appearance, and he actually had a pair of strange animal ears.

After hearing Ike introduce himself, he reached out and took off the mask on his face, revealing a human-like face.

"Vastaya?" Li Ke was a little surprised.

Scar nodded, then put his mask back on and stood behind Ike.

Ike said softly, "This is not surprising, Li Ke. In Zaun, there are all kinds of people. Scar's parents came to Zaun a long time ago. He is a Zaun."

Li Ke nodded, and at the same time he remembered who Scar was. He had appeared in several scenes in the first season of the animation, and he would accompany Ike every time he took action.

It seems that his fighting power is not low?
Looking at Ike, Li Ke asked, "Have you thought about it?"

"Well, we are willing to merge into the Lotus Gang, but I have a request that I hope you can abide by, Li Ke." Ike took a deep breath and said, "The Wildfire Gang is willing to be led by you. It doesn't matter if it is broken up and reorganized. I just hope you can do what you say and let them live like the people in the Hope Community."

"That's what I want, Ike."

Li Ke extended his hand to Ike and said softly, "Then welcome to join the Lotus Gang, Ike."

"Thank you." Ike shook hands with Li Ke. He hesitated for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Boss." Li Ke smiled, patted Ike on the shoulder, "Since you've joined, I'm going to give you your first job, Ike."

"Please say."

"Research and invention, Ike. In my opinion, being a scientist is more suitable for you than fighting and being a boss," Li Ke said to Ike.

Ekko is a natural scientist. Growing up in Zaun, he is no worse than Viktor and Jayce.

How could he be a bad student when he was able to use Hextech to develop the Z-drive device and control time?

He and Jinx are both geniuses in scientific research and are good at making weapons, but when it comes to weapon manufacturing, Jinx is definitely better than him.

"Research? Are you going to make weapons?" Ike narrowed his eyes.

The weapons and flying skateboard devices used by the Wildfire Gang were all developed by him and assembled using garbage parts from the sewers.

"There is a need for this, but not now." Li Ke said to Ike, "I want you to develop a new energy source to change Zaun's current situation. We have been in a misunderstanding all along."

"If we are still controlled by Piltover and have to take everything from them, then Zaun will never be able to truly stand up. If we want to break away from Piltover's control, first of all, we must have our own industry."

"Maybe the source is not something that can be developed so easily." Ike shook his head, as if he had a headache. He continued, "Besides, Piltover has already far surpassed us in this regard. Hextech has widened the gap between the two cities. What I mean is, even if, even if I really develop a new energy source, there is still an unbridgeable gap between us and them."

"But at least we don't have to be controlled by others anymore, right?" Li Ke said with a smile.

He thought about it and said, "I think Weiguang is a good direction."

"That harmful thing?" Ike frowned.

He had a very bad impression of the faint light, even though he knew that the faint light had great potential. The faint light was not only able to change human genes and be used as a biological agent, but the burning faint light also possessed very strong energy.

In a sense, the faint light is indeed much better than the energy currently used in Zaun?

Ike had tried this before, mixing the glimmer into his skateboard, and it did increase the speed after burning, but it was very unstable and caused great damage to the machine.

The glimmer is really dangerous.

"The glimmer did harm Zaun, but that was because it was used in the wrong way. Ike, the technology itself is not wrong. The one who is wrong is the user," Li Ke said, shaking his head.

Ike agreed with this. "In that case, I can give it a try. I have studied glimmers before, but the glimmers sold on the market are of low purity. You know, Li Ke, those are just things that drug addicts use to get high. They can't meet the standards required for experiments at all."

"I need a purer faint light, and I need a lot of instruments for research," Ike said.

"Don't worry, I can find some extremely pure glimmer, and I'll have someone go to the upper city to purchase the equipment."

Ike's eyes turned strange. He looked at Li Ke and asked, "What is your relationship with Xierko?"

"Are we working for Hilco now?" he couldn't help but ask.

"of course not."

"We are working for Zaun, Ekko."

Li Ke said.
