Runeterra is so much fun!

Chapter 101 99 - Killing

Hearing Yuan Chen's words, Xiu Lite was taken aback for a moment, then bowed his body timidly and asked: "That...you are, my lord?"

No wonder why Xiulet was so nervous.Because the director of the factory specifically explained to him when he called him over, that he will serve the top and top bigwigs from the top of Piltover.

If there is any mistake, it is even said that it only needs to make the big shots feel unhappy.Then without their orders, there will be a group of people who are willing to help deal with him...

Similarly, if he can get the appreciation of the other party, then he will also break away from the status of a low-level laborer and become a glorious production foreman!

Although he just changed from a low-level alchemy operation to a labor foreman of an alchemy production line, it also meant that he would no longer have to deal with unstable alchemy compounds!

And now, listening to the big man... he seems to know himself?

"Mining area, have you forgotten?" Yuan Chen said, "I also asked you about the "stone wall" on the other side of the tunnel."

Hearing this, Xiu Lite was taken aback for a moment, then immediately came back to his senses, nodded and bowed and said:
"It turned out to be you! I said how I felt so comfortable when I went to work today! I thought it was the broken filter that took effect, but now it seems that it's all delaying your blessing!"

In fact, at the very beginning, Xiu Lite thought that Yuan Chen and his group would be wiped out by Piltover's army soon - just like the past Piltover's cops killed those who lived in the primeval jungle like the aborigines in

But contrary to Xiulet's expectations, Piltover not only did not attempt a violent attack, but even put on a glamorous appearance to welcome him grandly.

From Zaun to Piltover, everyone knows that an ancient empire called Ixtar came to "visit"——visiting in an extremely powerful posture.

And those Picheng guys who can't wait to put their faces on their heads don't see the original unruliness at all, but look kind and friendly...

Based on this alone, Xiulet can be sure that this is a big man that he may never see a second time in his life.

But enough bragging rights in a tavern.

Xiulet can remember that it was the big man in front of him who made him lose his job as a miner... But Xiulet dare not complain at all, because countless people lose their jobs in Zaun every day.

Unemployment, in Zaan, means death... No, even more cruel than death!

Thinking of the consequences of losing his job, Xiu Lite shuddered, and his flattery had changed from nodding and bowing to groveling.

Feeling Xiu Lite's almost all-out flattery and the fear hidden in his bones...

This is the first time Yuan Chen has felt such emotions on a person in this world.Subconsciously turning her head to look, Qiyana felt a little strange, but she didn't react too much—as the crown prince, she was pampered.

Jael seemed to be used to being awed like this, and he didn't pay much attention to the face through the mask in protective clothing.

Ezreal was chatting with Jael. Although they were chatting as friends, Yuan Chen could feel that he was on the weak side.

Because Jiaer is the eldest son of Mirdar and also his benefactor.

Turning around, looking at Xiu Lite, Yuan Chen nodded silently: "Okay, let's lead the way."

"Okay! It's a little dangerous at the bottom of the trench, but you don't have to worry about such a big man! I'll lead the way, just tell me if there's anything wrong with you!"

Xiu Lite smiled all over his face. Through the brand-new protective clothing mask, Yuan Chen could clearly see the face of the young man in his prime who was less than ten years older than himself, full of old dimples and corroded faces. Rough skin riddled with holes after healing.

"Ah."

Yuan Chen nodded calmly, indicating that it was time to set off.

Walking in the mist in the gutter area, Qiyana glanced at Yuan Chen and asked, "What happened to you just now?"

"What's wrong?"

"Status, emotion, spirit...all of them." Qiyana said, "You seem a little hesitant? This is the first time I feel such emotions on you."

"...Nothing." Yuan Chen shook his head and said, "I just remembered some pictures."

"That doesn't seem pretty."

"Good things are always rare...that's why they are so precious."

Yuan Chen spoke calmly, walking silently on this foggy street.

Leading the way ahead, Xiulet was a little nervous at the beginning, and even accidentally fell a few times.But after discovering that Yuan Chen and the others didn't feel impatient, Xiu Lite gradually relaxed.

Slowly, in order to prevent boredom on the road, Xiulet even began to introduce some... scenery of the trench area on his own initiative.

If that can be considered a view.

It can be seen that Xiu Lite's popularity is not bad.Walking in the ditch area, many people showed surprised expressions after discovering that it was Xiulit who was wearing protective clothing, then congratulated in a nervous whisper, and looked enviously at Xiulit who led the way for Yuan Chen and others.

They knew that this meant that Xiu Lite might have an extra chance to soar into the sky - even if this soaring into the sky could not even touch the floor of the people in the upper city.

And when passing by an arch bridge, Xiu Lite also raised his hand and said to a middle-aged man who was looking down blankly, "Hey! Jeno! Did you find a job today?"

Hearing Xiulet's words, the middle-aged man named Jie Nuo looked at Xiulet blankly, then smiled blankly, and said, "No...or not."

Jeno's figure was a bit strange, and only after walking in did he realize that the body on the other side was propped up by wood, with only one arm and one leg.

Hearing this, Xiu Lite also said with some pity: "That's really unlucky, otherwise, why don't you come to my house for a few days?"

Hearing Xiulet's words, Jeno's eyes fluctuated, but soon dimmed again: "No need...it's the same wherever you are."

Hearing Jienuo's words, Xiu Lite's eyes were startled, and then he said with a smile: "Okay, forget it..."

After leaving the arch bridge, Yuan Chen glanced at the numb figure, and asked casually, "What's wrong with him?"

"He is unemployed."

Yuan Chen could feel how scared Xiu Lite was when he talked about unemployment.

And Xiu Lite explained: "Jeno is still very good, he works hard, and his wife gave birth to a fat boy. Although it is a bit hard, there is still hope for a new job!"

While talking, Xiu Lite took Yuan Chen and others across the arch bridge to the next floor.When passing by the tavern, he also took a look at the people eating and drinking inside, with a hint of pride in his eyes, and said casually:

"These taverns are full of workers spending money in them, which is quite pitiful."

"Pitiful?"

Hearing this, Ezreal looked at the tavern suspiciously, and said, "Isn't this very good? There's wine and meat."

Just like what Ezreal said, although the laborers inside looked bitter and disheveled, there was wine and meat on the table, and they were all smiling when they ate and drank, how pitiful they were.

Hearing Ezreal's words, Xiulet said flatteringly:
"Although they seem to live a good life, they are all without wives. They have no wives and no children. Although they can drink wine and eat meat, they have not saved a penny in their pockets. It is uncertain when they will be gone. "

"I'm not afraid that adults will laugh at me. Although I am also bitter, my son is still talented. When I save money, I will send him to the alchemy factory to beat those alchemy masters! Although there are dangers, life There is always something to look forward to."

Hearing this, Ezreal nodded in agreement.

Although Ezreal's background is not comparable to the four major families like Jael, his parents are also well-known great archaeologists in the industry.Even if his parents are gone, his uncle is also a course professor at Picheng University, and has a very high reputation.

This can be seen from the fact that Ezreal's uncle easily arranged for him many extremely strict and prestigious tutors to teach him advanced cartography, Hex machinery, and the ancient history of Runeterra. .

Yuan Chen didn't feel that Ezreal's indifferent attitude meant guilt.

But a more indescribable emotional trouble in my heart.

All the way down through the criss-crossing arch bridges, just as Yuan Chen and the others walked across an arch bridge again, there was a little screaming from above.

I subconsciously looked up, and when I saw a person fell down—it was the guy named Jeno.

He stared blankly at the ditch pool water condensed with dark green venom. Yuan Chen wanted to subconsciously reach out to catch it, but he saw the relaxation in his eyes—this made Yuan Chen's deep hand freeze. up in the air.

In the eyes of this unemployed laborer, there is no panic and panic that a stumbler should have.

laugh! !

The man made a corrosive sound as he fell into the dark green alchemy wastewater.

"Jeno?!"

Xiulet shouted subconsciously, but when he thought of the "big shots" behind him, he quickly lowered his voice, showed an embarrassed smile and said, "I'm sorry, I was taken aback just now..."

"Why did he commit suicide?" Yuan Chen didn't pay attention to Xiu Lite's words, but looked at Jie Nuo who was struggling with the waste liquid of alchemy, screaming, but never calling for help.

"Because of unemployment?"

"...Yes, because...unemployed..." Xiulet was still smiling, squinting his eyes, not daring to show any fear or dissatisfaction.

"Just unemployed?"

"..." Feeling Yuan Chen's inquisitive tone, Xiu Lite swallowed his saliva, and said nervously:

"Because he has no money."

"a."

"He can't afford gas anymore... His wife just gave birth to a baby." Xiu Lite said: "If you don't buy gas, there will be no clean gas in the house, so you can only open the door to breathe the air outside the gutter."

"His family has just added a new child, and his wife and children are very weak..."

"Is there no one to lend him money?" Yuan Chen interrupted: "They are all laborers."

"There is no money. The alchemy prosthetics we use for work are bought with loans from the alchemy barons... We all owe money to the factory, and the prosthetic limbs he used for mining have been taken back by the debt collectors."

"Why is he unemployed?"

Hearing this, Xiu Lite was taken aback for a moment, then glanced at Yuan Chen with some fear, and said in a low voice:
"Because the mining area has stopped."
