Teyvat's Otherworldly Adventurer

Chapter 213 Check Your Body

Camille, the Gray Lady, seemed to attach great importance to her body modification. It didn't take long before the sound of the blade rubbing against the pebbles sounded in the courtyard outside the window.

squeak~
The door of the experimental workshop was slowly pushed open, and the dancing blue light reflected her slender waist and a pair of inhuman long legs.

Gray Lady Camille, the sister of the current patriarch of the Philos family, the first Hextech transformer.

As the slender and sharp figure came into view, Hai Xi recalled the information about this person representing the shadow order of Piltover in his mind.

"Your speed is much faster than I imagined,"

Her voice was cold and hoarse, and there was no trace of emotion in her blue eyes, "I hope this will not be an empty joy."

"Please rest assured, ma'am."

Hexi looked straight into her eyes, expressing extraordinary confidence, "No one understands Hex transformation better than me!"

As soon as these words came out, he keenly noticed that Madam Gray's machine-like icy eyes fluctuated a bit, even though it was only a very insignificant little bit, it still made him very satisfied.

That's right, Haixi said this sentence on purpose.

Because he knew very well that in Camille's mind, the No. [-] Hex transformation master was naturally Hakim Nedry, who personally presided over the body transformation surgery for her.

Because this guy is not only her chief surgeon, but also a lover for whom she almost abandoned her family responsibilities.

But the current Madame Cinder is no longer the little girl who would shake her responsibilities because of love. As the chief spy of the Philos family, decades of bloody storms, plots and assassinations have already forged her heart so that she will not lose to the leg blade. of cold things.

There are very few things that can cause her mood swings.

"I hope your technique is as good as your mouth."

"You'll see,"

Haixi gracefully reached out to the test bench, "If it's convenient, how about I help you check your body first?"

"can."

Camille moved her razor-like legs, and lay down gracefully on the test bench amidst the sound of "噗噗咒", "Let's get started."

Hai Xi walked up to him and reached out to caress those sharp blade-like legs: "The maintenance of the leg blades is very good, but the energy circuit is too simple, and it can't even exert the power of the hex gem, let alone the original crystal."

His tone was very flat, but anyone could hear the belittling meaning in it.

Camille wanted to refute, but couldn't find a suitable reason.

Indeed, if they were not shocked by the Hex technology products developed by Jess and the others, how could the Philos family put down their face and invite Hexi to join as the chief scientist?

'After all, this is only Hakim's work decades ago, and it is normal to be surpassed by others. '

Camille comforted herself in her mind, 'After so many years, his skills must have improved a lot. '

Hai Xi didn't care what the other party was thinking, his hands went all the way up, from the leg blade to the crotch.A pair of hook-and-lock wheels are installed here, providing Gray Lady with very powerful mobility, especially in cities with rows of buildings.

This design can't be said to be excellent, it can only be said that it barely fits the nature of the work of secret agents who come and go without a trace.

"It can be seen that the last person who modified your body didn't know much about weapon making."

Haixi shook her head, with regret on her face, "With the energy source like the original crystal, your fighting style is still so primitive... It doesn't match the characteristics of Piltover City of Evolution at all!"

At this moment, Camille couldn't bear it anymore.She retorted: "What do you know? I am a secret agent. I cannot run around with weapons that can explode at any time like you! The weapons on me may not be the most powerful, but they must be the most suitable for my identity!"

"Okay, okay, that's it."

Haixi shrugged her shoulders not to argue with her, but instead made her feel like punching cotton, because she felt that Haixi's tone seemed to be coaxing ignorant children.

Just when she was not convinced and was about to continue to argue, she finally heard a compliment from Haixi.

"Compared to those poor weapon designs, this artificial heart is perfect,"

Hai Xi praised, "Let me see, it not only perfectly integrates your vitality and helps you stay young forever, but also comes with two skills. Adaptive shield and space blockade, really good!"

Hearing this, Madam Cinder was honored.

'That's right, Hakim values ​​my safety more than killing, that's why there is such a design. '

"Then, ma'am."

Haixi moved her hands away from her heart, and looked directly into her eyes, "Which aspect do you want to focus on this time? The secret of agents, the power of weapons, more efficient movement, or Continue to strengthen self-protection or something else?"

Hex crystal can be regarded as a universal energy source, its power even involves the fields of time and space, it is a bit overkill to make a killing weapon, so there are many options for Haixi to choose.

For example, Camille currently lacks medium and long-range attack methods.The middle distance can barely rely on the hook lock, but the long distance is really powerless.

Changing her eyes to hex rays would make up for that shortcoming very simply.

In addition to this, the shackle lock that assists movement can also be upgraded.Changing from a solid hook lock to an energy hook lock can not only move farther, but also reduce the weight of the body, and even be used as a weapon whip if necessary.

For another example, as a secret agent, it is also very suitable to have an auxiliary tool such as a Hex refraction device or a scanning detector.

Camille was dazzled by the upgrade plans proposed by Hai Xi, and to be honest, each one moved her heart.

So she asked, "I want them all, is that okay?"

"Of course!"

The smile on Hai Xi's face grew stronger, "However, the energy consumption of these things is not small..."

"Philos has plenty of primordial crystals."

Camille was decisive, showing the arrogance of Cinderella.

"Then there is no problem. Let's start with the heart. I need to replace this original crystal-made heart with a Hex energy matrix."

The transformation of Camille cannot be completed overnight. Fortunately, Camille is no longer a human being, and does not need to eat and metabolize.

During this period, Stevan, the Patriarch of Philos, also came to review the transformation plan submitted by Hai Xi.Then three spies were sent to Hai Xisai, saying that they would be transformed together according to Camille's standards.

In the end, he asked meaningfully: "If you give an ordinary person a Hex heart, can you stay young forever?"

Obviously, with the passage of time, the aging Patriarch Ferros began to envy his sister's youthful youth.

However, regarding this point, Haixi has not fully understood it yet.So I can only deal with the procrastination first, and prepare to watch together after Alice comes over.His most important task now is to complete the control of Gray Lady Camille.

That’s right, not transformation, but control.

After all, she took the initiative to bring it to her mouth like this. If she didn't take it down, neither Shuang Quanshou nor Shen Ji Bai Lian would agree, and I would be sorry for my dual identities as a craftsman + alchemist.

And as Camille, controlling her is equivalent to controlling Philos, the Scepter family hidden in the shadow of Piltover.Then it is equivalent to mastering Piltover, an evolutionary city that has just embarked on the fast track of development.

This will be of great help to Hai Xi's next exploration of Runeterra.

After all, the world is in turmoil, and it is not easy to get in and win a place in it.At the very least, a mere scientist in Piltover is not qualified to participate.But if it is the master behind the city of evolution, it is another matter.

……

……

When Haixi was concentrating on dealing with Camille, Piltover was not calm.

Because Jace and Viktor's alchemy workshop was stolen, not only lost some hex gems, but also caused an explosion.

Fortunately, it was not a densely populated area, so there were no casualties. However, under the pursuit of the security officer, the thieves fled all the way into the lower city of Zaun.

This matter has no effect on Jess, after all, he is already a famous scientist now, and the benefits of Hextech products are also huge, so just letting some out will solve this problem.

But Victor's situation is different.

He was suspected of colluding with the Zaun people and deliberately stealing Piltover's technological crystals, and was almost arrested and imprisoned directly.

Hmm...who made him a Zaunian?
In Piltover, being from Zaun is a sin.Not to mention that he is also involved in a project like Hex Technology, which even with closed eyes knows has an infinitely bright future.There are countless people who are jealous of him and want to kick him away.

The most important thing is that he rejected almost all attempts to win over the members of the parliamentarian family, and devoted his energy to using Hex energy to purify the environment, which was all about expenditure and almost no return.

So this time he finally found an excuse, and those who had long disliked him immediately joined forces to work together.If it hadn't been for Jace's desperate defense, Victor wouldn't have been able to explain why he was justified, and he wouldn't have had the chance to say it, so no one would listen.

However, it was not without price for Jess to save Victor. Although he was exempted from going to Qingshui Prison, Victor was strictly prohibited from participating in any projects related to Hex until the suspicion was cleared.As for when his suspicion will be cleared, it depends on how the police officer can catch those Zaun thieves and recover the stolen hex gems.

"Sorry, I can only strive for such conditions."

At Jess' home, he looked at the more haggard Victor with a tired face, and apologized.

"No, Jess, you don't have to apologize to me."

Victor shook his head, "I'm very grateful that you can still trust me. I just didn't expect that so many people would be dissatisfied with me... Maybe it was my previous attitude of refusing to win over that angered them?"

"..."

Jess opened his mouth, but had nothing to say. He was just a political novice. These days, he was dealing with various congressmen and businessmen. Even with Mrs. Gila Mann's guidance behind his back, it still made him physically and mentally exhausted.

Therefore, he could only pat Victor's thin shoulders fiercely, pretending to be optimistic: "Don't worry, Victor, I have already told Caitlin that when the security team sends people to Zaun to investigate the case, they will take me with them." .I will definitely find out those culprits and restore your reputation!"

"Then... I will go too."

Victor coughed and got up, "I'm from Zaun, and I have some contacts there, which may be helpful."

Jess didn't want to agree, because Victor's body was too weak.But looking at his friend's firm and bright eyes, he couldn't say the words of rejection.

After a long silence, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, then let's go together!"

……

……

Pi City and Zaun are called twin city-states. They were originally one body. Later, due to the intrusion of sea water, half of the city rose and half fell, resulting in what it looks like today.

Piltover and Zaun are connected by an elevator, which is very convenient except for checkpoints.

Because the Hex gems, an important scientific research material, were involved, the Piltover police responded very quickly. Sheriff Grayson personally led the team and set off in full gear.

Well, Jess, who walked through Mrs. Gilaman's back door, took Victor as a temporary investigator of the security force, and followed behind.Miss Caitlin, who wanted to participate, was forced to stay at home by her mother and missed the search.

"Cough cough!"

This was the first time Jace came to the lower city of Zaun. Even with a mouth and nose filter device, the stale air here still made it difficult for him to breathe, and his lungs seemed to be burning.

"Victor, did you grow up here?"

He looked at his good friend in shock, and had a deeper understanding of the suffering he had experienced.

Victor nodded silently: "This is a dark alley, and the air and water quality are not bad. In the lower mining area, the poisonous gas and sewage will even deform the bodies of Zaunites."

"No wonder you spend so much time studying the Hex air purification device, it turns out..."

Jess held Victor's hand and promised, "Don't worry, I will definitely help you!"

"Thank you, Jace."

Victor was also very moved by Jess' statement. After all, he had just encountered difficulties from the rich and powerful in Piltover. He was really happy to have such a friend by his side.

"What should we do now?"

After following the security team for a while, Jess asked in a low voice, "With those people's orders, the security team may not go all out to search for criminals."

After experiencing this world, Jess has matured a lot.

"Then let's go to Mr. Singed."

Victor thought for a while, "He used to be my teacher, but we didn't agree because of some things, so I left him and went to study in the upper city."

"Your teacher? So he is also a scientist?"

Jace was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the Zaun people, who were always regarded as stinky ditch rats, could have such a high-level profession.

"Well, he's great."

Viktor followed the dusty memory for a long time, and led Jess towards Singed's laboratory.
