Re-becoming a human being from Conan

Pic City is divided into two districts: north and south. The south district is home to Greville Street, Baijiu Avenue, Stellar Street, Agnostic Square and other Pi City's famous scenic spots and commercial areas. The north district is home to more wealthy people and furnishings. with their important factories.

What separates the north and south city is an abyss-like grand canyon. It was a disaster caused by alchemical explosives when the canal was dug two hundred years ago, and Za'an also sank to the ground at that time.

Connecting the north and south districts is an arch bridge called the Science and Technology Magic Bridge and an old suspension bridge connected by iron locks. Whenever a strong sea breeze blows through the canyon, the iron locks on the suspension bridge will act like strings. Alternate sound.

Residents who are accustomed to living in the bottom city often feel panicked when walking across this bridge because of the huge difference in height. Justo walked on it with a nervous look and a cloth bag tightly clutching his waist. However, it seemed that he was also wary of the children of Zaan who climbed up from the bottom city to steal. In fact, his shabby dress could no longer attract any attention.

"The disguise was successful. Now I am a student worker from Zaun." Justo repeated in his mind: "The goal is to join the new universal capsule factory of the Philos family."

He was a war mason.

The War Masons are a special force belonging to Noxus. Each War Mason is often a resourceful scout, engineer, and warrior. They often move ahead of the Noxian army and penetrate deep into enemy territory to detect possible invasions. route to find key targets.

Of course, Justo appears here not because Noxus is preparing to go to war with Piltover, but because he has an additional goal.

Noxus has always attached great importance to Piltover, the transportation hub that connects the continent of Valoran and Shurima. The troubles here cannot be hidden from the Noxians, let alone Camille, the person behind the scenes. trend.

The information on the universal capsule was placed on His Majesty's desk ten days ago, and after a simple analysis, it was judged by His Majesty's think tank to have "unparalleled strategic value."

He originally thought that it would take a long time for a technology to be invented and promoted, and he still had a long preparation period before lurking. However, he did not expect that only half a month had passed before the universal factory was recruiting workers.

And he received an order from His Majesty the Emperor - to bring the technology of the Universal Capsule and even Sewell back to Noxus!

As soon as possible and no matter the cost!

This is very inconsistent with Noxus' usual style, and it can easily damage the friendship between Noxus and Piltover. According to past habits, Noxus should be waving large sums of money to support the newly born technology. The big customers who placed orders might just send their troops over to rob them openly.

But now the domestic situation is very special.

At the same time, Noxus, which was fighting on the fourth and fifth fronts and was invincible ten years ago, had not won a victory for too long. The disastrous defeat in the Battle of Presidence on the Ionian battlefield made the army panic.

The empire's finances are already in dire straits, and the soldiers are almost unable to pay their salaries.

The Noxus Empire is now in the calm before the storm. I don't know when there will be a sudden boom, blowing many people into pieces. His Majesty the Emperor's majesty is getting weaker and weaker, and he is obviously a little anxious.

The fate of the empire is closely related to the fate of Justo. The mission of the War Stonemason is to solve problems for the empire, even if this mission is extremely dangerous and you may lose your life at any time! His life is also being paid at any cost!

Looking at the guards in front of the manor who were wearing the uniforms of the Philos family and equipped with swords and spears, strictly checking the identity of every applicant who came to apply for a job as a student worker, and searching their clothes, Justo said something silently in his heart.

'For Noxus! ’

Immediately, he acted cowardly and walked over.

Fortunately, his professional disguise eluded Feros' guards, and he successfully entered the interview venue and met the interviewers.

Most of them are craftsmen supported by the Philos family. They will become technicians in the universal factory, leading the recruited students to learn part of the production of universal capsules and manufacture universal capsules.

Justo's eyes focused on the faces of one of the young men and women.

The man has a strong build and a vicious scar on the right side of his face. The girl is petite and cute, but her voice when questioning applicants is harsh and hoarse.

According to the intelligence that has been investigated, these two people are Arian and Alyssa, Sewell's classmates from Zaun when he was studying at Hextech Academy. After graduation, Sewell only recruited these two people. He came to the Philos family and served as his confidant and assistant.

It is too difficult to contact Sewell who is at the center of the focus alone and steal research information. These two people... are the best breakthrough!

Sitting behind the long table, Arian was lamenting the impermanence of life.

Half a month ago, he was still a student, nervously completing his graduation project defense in front of professors, but now his identity has been changed and he has become the one who decides the fate of others.

Because he was born in Zaun and was not part of Professor Jace's group, he once felt sorry for himself and wanted to give up on himself. When Professor Victor recommended him to come to Sewell, he also refused. That was so embarrassing!

Later...well, I just wanted to hold an umbrella for others after getting caught in the rain. Whether the person applying for the job today is from Zaun or Piltover, he only adheres to one principle here, fairness!

After the two-hour interview, he felt a little thirsty and wanted to go to the toilet. He said to Alyssa next to him: "I'm going to the toilet."

"Well, when you come back to replace me, I'll go too." Alyssa's voice became hoarse, "And I might have to take a little rest."

"okay."

After squeezing his way out of the queue of applicants, Arian went to the bathroom, which was cleaner than his home in Zaun, to solve his personal problems.

After washing his hands, he put his hands into his trouser pockets. He wanted to take out a tissue to wipe his hands, but suddenly he was stunned and slowly took out a paper ball from his pocket.

What's this? Who stuffed the trash?

The doubts unfolded, and a paragraph written on the paper ball came into view, and Arian's eyes gradually widened.

‘Meet you at the Conshe Tavern on Baijiu Avenue at seven o’clock tonight. What Feros can give to Sevier, Noxus can give you more! ’

when? Noxus? !

Arrian is self-aware, but he is not yet worthy of being recruited by Noxus. The other party mentioned Sewell, and the only target is the Universal Capsule - if I go there with the technology of the Universal Capsule, I will be in Noxus...

It would be a lie to say that he didn't envy Ji Xing, but his heart skipped a beat when Professor Blino's face appeared in front of his eyes and instantly calmed him down like cold water.

I ‘couldn’t play’ Sewell’s.

Besides, how can I repay kindness with hatred?

After taking a few deep breaths, he managed to remain calm and returned to the interview place. Suspecting that the guy who stuffed the note was still hiding in the crowd and watching him secretly, he didn't make any announcement.

Only when he was alternating with Alyssa, he seemed to be somewhat attentive and said: "Your throat can't speak too much at one time, so rest for a while. Oh, yes, this pack of tissues is for you. The paper in the men's bathroom seems to be almost used. , I think the consumption on the ladies’ side will be greater.”

Alyssa took it with some doubts, and noticed Ariane's strange force when inserting the tissue, and said hoarsely: "Thank you, I'll be back in half an hour."

She clutched the pack of tissues and walked out.

…

At the same time, on the other side of the manor.

The open floor-to-ceiling windows radiate half of Piltover's luminous spiers, and you can also overlook the glimmer of some Zaun buildings.

Gathered in the luxuriously carpeted living room was another group of people, they were elegantly dressed, each of them was a well-known wealthy businessman in Piltover, and they even included two congressmen.

Councilor Mel Myrdal, who is as beautiful as a black pearl, and Caitlin's mother, the majestic noblewoman Councilor Gila Mann.

During the chat over tea, they easily settled on a series of cooperations that were astronomical to ordinary people, and after three cups of tea, they gradually focused their attention on the owner of this living room.

"Dear Mrs. Camille." Mel nodded politely and said, "Thank you for the tea. It's almost time for us to get to the point, right?"

"Yes." Another rich businessman with a big belly said: "Before showing everyone the universal tool box, you specially called us people here. Is there anything you need us to do?"

Camille accurately put the tea cup back to its original position, without missing a beat, and said: "Sewell, let's show everyone the product first."

His eyes then focused on Ji Xing.

Everyone had heard the name 'Sewell' a lot recently, and when they walked into the room they already knew that the young man sitting next to Camille was a man of the hour.

During the previous chat, eyes occasionally glanced at this amazing scientist who suddenly appeared in Zaun, and found that he was not shy even in such an environment, as if he came from a noble family in Piltover, which made him feel very unique. impression.

'Compared to Jace, who developed Hex technology, he may also have natural talents in politics. Unfortunately, when he was unknown, he directly took refuge in the Philos family...'

Mel murmured regretfully in her heart, watching Ji Xing stand up and take out a capsule from his sleeve.

Is this a universal capsule?

The capsule was blue in color and was about the size that could be pinched with two fingers as in the rumors. Under the curious eyes of everyone, Ji Xing gently threw it into the open space in front of him. With a soft bang, there were many objects on the ground. A blue box comes out.

"oh……"

"It's almost like magic."

Hearing is worse than seeing. I witnessed the use of the universal capsule with my own eyes, and there were bursts of exclamation and approval in the room.

Ji Xing said: "This is the product we will mass-produce and sell now, the universal tool box. Its size is 60*40*40 centimeters. The main body is made of alloy material. It is strong and durable. The capacity is enough to carry most daily necessities, or It's books, various tools, and weapons.

As long as you carry a capsule with you, you can say goodbye to redundant luggage and backpacks, and take out the things you need anytime and anywhere without worrying about the weight of the things. "

"Are you trying to sell us?" A lady covered in jewelry said with a smile, "Although it does sound very tempting."

"It's a preview. After all, I will explain the convenience and usage of the 'Universal Toolbox' in public at Agnostic Square at noon. I am afraid that I will forget the words and have stage fright." Ji Xing then joked.

Everyone laughed, and several pairs of eyes looked at Ji Xing with a lot of seriousness. Mel looked at the ordinary box on the ground and asked: "If I didn't misunderstand what you meant...even if This box is full of stuff, and it can turn into that little capsule again? Including...anything?"

"Anything." Ji Xing nodded: "Books, food, and even magic props, but it's best not to install things like clocks and watches. There will still be some errors in the hour hand."

He looked at the wealthy merchants and nobles in front of him: "Who is willing to provide some items to try?"

"I'll do it." Mel took off a brooch with graceful movements, and at the same time, the fat and wealthy businessman also took off the big gold chain hanging around his neck.

"Add this."

One big and one small, one heavy and one light.

Ji Xing took it calmly, opened the lid of the toolbox, arranged them left and right, and even made the gold chain into an S shape.

After closing the lid like this, Ji Xing pressed the button on the edge of the box, and the box turned back into a capsule with a bang as expected.

The gold chain and brooch disappeared as well.

"Congressman Meyer, please weigh the capsule." Ji Xing said.

Mel took it, nodded in admiration, and passed it to the others one by one. After going around in a circle, it finally returned to Ji Xing's hand and was thrown away by Ji Xing.

Bang——

The tool box appeared again. Ji Xing bent down and opened the lid. The gold chain and brooch were lying safely at the bottom of the box. Everyone was keenly aware that although the capsule was passed around a full circle, the two objects inside They were all lying in the same place, and even the S shape the gold chain was twisted into had not changed at all!

"It's amazing..."

"Wonderful display, I want a few now, how do I price this?"

Ji Xing smiled and said: "Do you really think of me as a salesperson? Haha, this capsule is a laboratory product, and the cost is not specifically controlled. It cost at least several thousand gold. We will discuss the unit price after the factory is completed and mass production is successful. "

"Isn't it just a few thousand pieces of gold? If I pay ten thousand, I'll take this one..."

"Please come here, we have another purpose." Camille's calm voice sounded, and the voice that wanted to coax to get this symbolic universal capsule was immediately suppressed.

"Your instructions, Lady Camille."

"It's not an order, it's cooperation."

Ji Xing followed Camille's words and continued: "You are all the top wealthy businessmen and nobles in Piltover. Your family's industry covers all aspects, and the products you produce are integrated into the daily life of every Piltover and Zaun person."

"For example, Mr. George." He looked at the pot-bellied wealthy businessman and said: "The steam-electric cars produced by your company are selling well overseas, but transportation has always been a problem, right? If we cooperate, we can create a 'universal capsule' specifically for cars. , any one person can transport hundreds of cars to every city-state in the mainland..."

George's heart was pounding, but out of the treachery of a businessman, he subconsciously glanced at Camille, who was calmly sipping tea, and his heart skipped a beat.

cooperate? I'm afraid I need to cut some meat!

The steam-electric cars produced by my family are indeed selling well overseas, but there are far more car dealers in Pi City than just me. If the bright future of cooperation with Universal Capsule is true, then I have no choice, but the Philos family has many choices!

Thinking of this, his previous enthusiasm suddenly faded away, and he hesitated to think deeply.

At the same time, many people reacted to this matter, especially Mel, who was even more shocked. He thought that although the single technology of the universal capsule was wonderful, its value was not as good as the widely used Hex technology, but Now look... this piece of technology is a business empire? !

Some wealthy businessmen whose family businesses only produce small-scale goods secretly rejoiced that a universal tool box was enough, but they heard Ji Xing say again:

"The universal tool box is very convenient, but in some aspects it is not convenient enough for ordinary people. For example, most of the firearms and weapons produced by your family, Congressman Gilaman, can be put into the tool box, but As a weapon, if there is an extra step to use it, the user may lose his life.

If you replace it with a customized universal capsule, you can squeeze it lightly in your hand and it will turn into a gun in your hand. Such a scene..."

Councilor Gila Mann frowned slightly.

One by one, one by one, the Feros family has obviously done enough homework, and as the current chief craftsman of the Feros family and the developer of the universal capsule, Ji Xing is very familiar with the properties of the universal capsule.

The environment in the room gradually became silent, and every wealthy merchant and nobleman fell into deep thought.

Camille watched this scene calmly, with a faint flash of waves in her blue eyes.

After decades, the Feros family has welcomed a stunningly talented chief craftsman. She can see the day when the family once again reaches the next level and becomes the top family in the entire Rune Continent, and she will definitely No one is allowed to destroy it!

Da da da--

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and behind the door was Alyssa, who looked a little anxious and nervous.
