Teyvat's Otherworldly Adventurer

Chapter 6 A New Job: Tutor

The warm sunlight in the morning poured on the young man's face through the gaps in the curtains, coating the handsome sculpture-like face with a layer of light gold, making it look even more graceful and extraordinary.

Haixi rubbed her eyes, sat up yawning, and glanced out the window in a daze.The completely different style from Mond City, full of mechanical style buildings woke him up instantly.

"It turns out that we have already arrived in the world of trials..."

He stretched his arms behind his head and stretched fiercely before getting out of bed and pulling all the curtains open.

At this time, the sun was almost at the center of the sky, and Piltover officially entered the busiest and lively stage of the day.

"Last night was really busy!"

Haixi sighed. After repelling the attack of the Zaun people, the sheriffs could not immediately disband and rest. Instead, they were asked to stay on duty at the bridgehead for a whole night.It was not until it was dark that he was able to leave and hand over the duties to the next group of people.

"So, if you have to work overtime all night in another world, who can bear this kind of day?"

After doing a simple wash while complaining quietly, Hexi put on a casual dress and walked out of the apartment.

Although Haixi looked down on the job of a sheriff and felt that there was no future.But no matter what, they still eat from the council. In comparison, at least the salary and social status of ordinary people in Piltover are better.

For example, this apartment building that provides free meals is one of the benefits of the sheriff, and it is most suitable for a bachelor like Haixi to live in.

When he came to the restaurant downstairs, out of the psychology of investigation, he carefully observed the dishes provided by each window.

"Rye bread, smoked ham, cheese, unknown grilled steak... there seems to be nothing special?"

After looking around, he casually took a glass of milk and a hot dog bun, put them on a tray, and walked to a seat by the window.

As soon as I sat down, there was a sound of selling outside.

"The latest Science and Technology Morning Post! Take a look at Dean Heimerdinger's new invention first! The Academy's Rising Science and Technology Star Ranking!"

"Give me one!"

Haixi waved to the children selling newspapers on the street outside, and handed over two small copper gears.

"Oh!"

The child was obviously very happy. After the money and goods were settled, he added a blessing, "May the gears turn smoothly, sir! Happy Evolution Day!"

"Evolution Day?"

Hai Xi was stunned, and unfolded the newspaper. On the front page, there was a big "Evolution Day" written in gold and red intertwined colors, and beside it was a photo of a big head with yellow hair and white beard.

Haixi knew that this was the founder of Piltover, a city of science and technology, the most respected member of the seven-member council that apparently controlled the highest power in the city, and the dean of Piltover Institute of Science and Technology—" The Great Inventor" Heimerdinger.

He is also the go-to speaker for every Evolution Day.

"No wonder those Zaunites stormed Spire Bridge last night..."

Haixi's lips twitched silently, "The evolution day that all the Piltover ladies are proud of is also the disaster day when Zaun is half submerged and turned into a downtown! If I were from Zaun, I would definitely choose to live here Make trouble this day."

After breakfast, I walked out of the apartment. As far as I could see, bright colored flags were hung between the buildings, and the narrow streets were full of festive atmosphere.A gold and red banner, embroidered with gears and keys, was flying from the top of the tower in the distance.

There is the most prosperous Stellar Avenue in Piltover, and the high platform for the Evolution Day speech is in the middle of the avenue.

"but……"

This kind of Piltover is indeed prosperous and full of sense of technology, but Haixi can't see the shadow of Hex Technology.

You must know that since the strait was blasted, Piltover has become a substantial Valoran transportation and commercial hub, and the daily port cargo throughput is increasing day by day.

But if you want to truly take on the title of "City of Evolution", you have to wait until the Hex Crystal is widely used.

In particular, the appearance of the Hexgate, with the help of the time-moving power contained in the Hex Crystal, has greatly accelerated the speed of goods flow in Piltover, connecting the entire Runeterra more closely.

But now, the huge circle of light that could be called the symbol of Piltover did not appear in Haixi's field of vision.

"Are you early?"

Haixi frowned slightly. You must know that the Hex Crystal, or Hex Technology, is the biggest target he planned for this trial.If Piltover hasn't started research on this...

Then the value of this city to itself is very limited.Maybe it's better to go to Zaan to study the alchemy transformation technology to get higher returns.

Just as he was thinking hard, a voice came from behind: "Hai Xi!"

Following the reputation, it turned out to be Deputy Sheriff Grayson.

"Good day, ma'am."

"Hmph, brat, have you forgotten what I told you yesterday?"

Ms. Grayson's tone was not very kind.

"what?"

Haixi was a little confused. After recalling it for a while, she tentatively asked, "You mean, a new job? So soon?!"

"Of course! Who do you think I am?"

Grayson smiled heartily and patted Hai Xi's shoulder, "I recently took on a private job. A kid from a noble family wanted to learn marksmanship from me, and he gave me a lot of money. I originally planned to go by myself. , but think about it, you are close to that child's age, maybe it's easier to communicate. Besides, your marksmanship is already better than mine, isn't it?"

"This...you are too modest."

Haixi was taken aback, and memories of the last time the sheriff's marksmanship contest appeared in his mind.

That time, the two shared the same score.But during the entire game, Haixi never used a split shot, that is to say, he closed it.From this point of view, it is not a problem to say that his marksmanship surpasses Grayson's.

"Hehe, the disciple's marksmanship surpasses the teacher's. This is not something that would embarrass the teacher."

Grayson rubbed Hai Xi's blue hair and sighed, "I never understood why you were hiding your clumsiness. I went back yesterday and thought about it all night, only to realize that the idea of ​​leaving the law enforcement team probably didn't just appear last night, did it?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Grayson."

Haixi said shyly, "But I want to be a scientist more than a law enforcement officer. I've also saved some money in the past two years..."

"Hehe, that's the second reason why I recommend you to replace me."

Grayson blinked, with a rare cunning on his face, "If you really have a talent for research, then show off well in front of Caitlin! Their family invests a lot of scholars from humble backgrounds every year, take advantage of this Opportunity, it is not impossible to reach the sky in one step."

"Caitlin?"

Hearing this name in Piltover, Hai Xi had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.

"That's right, the child who will be your student, Caitlin Gilamann."
