Teyvat's Otherworldly Adventurer

Chapter 8 That Year Sixteen, Piltover Gala, Humble as a Minion

"how can that be……"

The shooting competition ended faster than expected. When Haixi put away the rifle and gently blew the gunpowder smoke from the muzzle, another contestant—Miss Caitlin Gilamann was holding the gun and her eyes were lost. , the small mouth opened as if a small cake could be stuffed in, and his face was full of incomprehension.

'Could it be broken by me? '

Haixi was secretly feeling a little worried, "Is the little girl's psychological endurance so poor?"But don't let Mrs. Gilaman think that I'm bullying her daughter...'

He glanced stealthily at Grayson, asking how he was doing.

Before Grayson could respond, Caitlin, who was sluggish on the other side, suddenly jumped up, the disappointment and shock on her face turned into excitement: "Is this the real shooting technique of law enforcement officers? I want to learn this!"

It's no wonder that Miss Caitlin was so easily convinced. It was because when the two competed in shooting just now, the bullets in the muzzle of Hai Xi's gun were like a hurricane equipped with Luanna, and the gun fired twice!

It's fine to double ring, it's too accurate!

Hai Xi's bullet not only hit her own target, but also snatched her target, and even the final score was much higher than when she practiced alone!
Who can bear this!

If it weren't for the hot chicken police rifle that needs to be reloaded, which took a lot of time, if it was replaced with a Hextech rifle with unlimited ammunition, the power would be unimaginable.

Haixi complained secretly in her heart.

However, seeing Caitlin approaching with a face full of excitement, Hai Xi secretly cheered up while heaving a sigh of relief.

From the current point of view, the gap to conquer the Gilaman family has been opened.

With Caitlin's support, the difficulty of obtaining funding from Mrs. Gilaman will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and he responded with a bright smile: "Of course, it's my honor, Miss Caitlin."

……

……

The process of teaching Caitlin's marksmanship was easier than Hexie imagined.

Originally, he thought that if Caitlin couldn't learn clan archery, his favorability towards him would drop, but the result was far beyond his expectations.

After he showed those graceful movements like dancing steps in front of the girl, Caitlin forgot about splitting arrows, archery and so on.There is only one thought left in the girl's mind - she wants to learn this!

To some extent, this can be regarded as the crushing of family background.

Although the Gilaman family is one of the top aristocrats in Piltover, the rise of the entire Piltover has only been two or three hundred years old. They have no shortage of money and status, but the so-called aristocratic background is not so easy. can accumulate.

And what about Hayes?

The Lawrence family he was born in this life is a real ancient nobleman born more than 2000 years ago. Even if he has been in poverty for 1000 years, the aristocratic temperament infiltrated in his bones is what those new upstarts most envy.

After learning what she likes, Caitlin seemed a little bored. She practiced from the sun to the sun, until Mrs. Gilamann took a maid to remind her that the Evolution Day Gala at the Grand Theater was about to begin.

Evolution Day is the most important festival in Piltover, and in the three-day celebration of this festival, there are two most important links:
One is Dean Heimerdinger's speech on Evolution Day.In this speech, he will introduce the latest technology and products developed by Piltover this year.I have to admit that Picheng's scientific research strength is indeed terrifying, and there are enough new gadgets every year to attract bigwigs from all over the world to join us.

The second is the party that Kaitlyn is going to attend soon.Representatives from many forces in Runeterra came to Piltover to participate in the Evolution Day celebration. Naturally, Piltover could not just arrange for them to listen to a speech, that would be too unsophisticated.

Of course, if Piltover is Heimerdinger's word, I'm afraid such a thing will really happen.However, among the Supreme Council of Piltover, only Heimerdinger was a true scientist, and the other six were all businessmen.

Such a power structure is really ironic for Piltover, known as the "City of Evolution".But it is undeniable that it is precisely because of these merchants who control the power of Piltover that this place becomes so prosperous.Otherwise, if the scientists were all on their own, Piltover might become a "City of Frankensteins".

Closer to home, these merchant councilors naturally want to make customers or potential customers from all over the world feel comfortable in Piltover, and this evening party is also the time when their cooperation is the most integrated.

Of course, the Gilaman family is no exception.

Kaitlyn's congressman's mother had already changed into her gown, and she, who had a rather cold demeanor, now looked a few years younger, from a majestic congressman to a charming lady.Standing with the young and beautiful Caitlin, each is good at winning, and it is difficult to distinguish.

The mother and daughter were going to the party, so Hai Xi could only leave Gilaman Manor.

However, Caitlin seemed to be a little bit unsatisfied with today's study, and said to Hai Xi: "Can you come over earlier tomorrow? You don't have to wait until after lunch."

"No problem, then goodbye, two beautiful ladies."

……

……

After leaving Gilaman Manor, Haixi did not go home.

Although not many people are eligible to participate in the Evolution Day Gala at the Grand Theater tonight, during the Evolution Day celebration, the entire Piltover was immersed in a lively and joyous atmosphere. Originally, Piltover, which was half of the city that never sleeps, these days And almost completely sleepless.

Haixi walked slowly on Xingxing Street, and the alchemy street lamps illuminated the joyful crowd on the roadside. These days are the days with the most tourists from outside Picheng. Most of them are businessmen who want to find business opportunities from Picheng.But there are also many people who come for these merchants who rarely gather together, and want to buy goods that are rarely seen on weekdays.

As the largest trade center in the world, the people of Piltover do have proud capital.

But all of this has nothing to do with Hai Xi.

He is just a passer-by to Piltover, and this glory is neither meaningful nor valued to him.

However, looking at the brightly lit theater in the distance, Hai Xi, who was half hidden in the shadow of the street lights, swore in her heart: "Next time, there will definitely be a place for me!"

To achieve this, what is needed is not to gnash one's teeth and swear, but to act.

"At present, the only alchemy food and potions I can get, and the potion seems to be a bit too strong in Zaun, and it is not suitable as the first stepping stone. So, among the alchemy foods, which one should I try first? "

As he walked, he thought about it, and finally decided to ignore it. He simply purchased a lot of ingredients, not only the common ingredients that are common in Piltover, but also the magic marsh frogs and river crabs from Zaun, and even some from the north. Freljord ice worms and Shurima's characteristic thorn-tailed sand scorpions, etc.

Back at the apartment, Haixi began his first attempt at alchemy.

"I hope Evolution Day will bring me some good luck!"
