People in the League, Masters of Time Management

What kind of energy should be used to support such a huge consumption?

"They don't understand anything, they just urge..."

Jace sighed again, and his raised eyebrows gradually relaxed.After slightly suppressing his inner dissatisfaction, his thoughts returned to his previous guess:

Zaun, killing machines, powerful energy cores...

These three clues point to the same person-his former friend and current enemy, Victor.

The lack of progress for several days forced him to start trusting his intuition, even though it was the most taboo and spurned thing among scientists.

"Victor has been missing for a long time, maybe I should visit the recently famous 'Heaven and Hell Messenger'..."

Jess stared at the few crystal shards on the workbench, which were no bigger than fingernails, and made some plans in his mind.

Those fragments were sent together with the robot, they didn't contain any energy, and they looked no different from the cheap glass balls sold at the market stalls.

But his intuition told him that this crystal fragment was the energy core of the robot.It's a pity that the number is too small, and the research is too difficult. He didn't find anything after looking at it for a few days.

So, where can I get more fragments for research?

Jess can think of this question with a bunch of hair on the top of his head, and Mubai must have the big head of that crystal in his hand.

"I hope he can cooperate with me, otherwise...it will be troublesome."

While talking to himself, Jess took the coat from the coat rack and put it on.The dignified and neat clothes make him look elegant and gentle, but anyone who knows him knows what a bastard's soul is hidden under this good skin.

Half a minute later, he was fully dressed, and his whole body exuded a high-tech aura.

Gear boots allow him to stand firmly on any surface, a robotic backpack saves him from carrying tools, and a tiny pulse generator in his pocket...

Among those dazzling inventions, the greatest is the weapon he holds in his hand-a hextech hammer that can transform at any time.

In theory, a friendly visit didn't require carrying a weapon, but he was used to it.

What he wants to guard against is not Mubai, nor the thieves who may jump out to block the road at any time, but... Victor's alchemy slaves and mechanical soldiers.

..............................

Inside Caitlyn's house in Upper Piltover Residential Area.

The girl was lying on the sofa, leaning against her sweetheart's generous chest, holding a not-so-interesting storybook in both hands, reading it with gusto.

She was only wearing a thin shirt with nothing inside.Her hair was still a little wet, and her face was flushed. I don't know if it was because the water temperature was too high in the shower just now or because of some indescribable things.

Mu Bai put his hands on the girl's willow waist to form an embrace, and the two read a book together, the atmosphere was quiet and warm.

Unfortunately, such a beautiful state did not last long.

A knock on the door interrupted them.

"Someone is coming," Kaitlyn propped up half of her body, looked at her revealing attire, and then at the door, "Would you like to go and see?"

"Ah."

Mu Bai rubbed the girl's head, got up and walked to the door, opened a small gap.

Immediately afterwards, he saw a girl about Caitlin's age.

She is tall, about 1.7 meters tall even without high heels.She has short pink hair that hangs on her shoulders without any hair accessories.On the left side of her face is a tattoo, carved from the eye to the height of the tip of the nose, are two letters, "V" and "I".

If there's one thing that stands out about her, it's the giant hextech gloves on her arms.

Her sharp eyes make all criminals feel terrified, and her powerful fists are enough to break through all iron walls.

Her name was Vi, or... Piltover Sheriff Vi.

"who are you?"

The moment he saw Mubai clearly, Wei quickly raised his fists, and the sound of gears and shafts working inside the gloves made people shudder.

"Why are you here? Where's Caitlin?"

"Don't be nervous, Miss Wei. Kaitlyn is inside the house." Mu Bai subconsciously stepped back half a step, keeping a safe distance from the pair of terrifying gloves.

"Inside the house?" Wei frowned, her doubts deepening.

This is Caitlin's home, but a strange man opened the door, and he said that Caitlin was inside the house...

Did he kidnap Caitlin?

Vi cautiously raised an arm and pushed open the door.Just as she was about to scan the room, a beautiful figure suddenly rushed up.

"Wei, you're back! Long time no see!"

"Kay, Caitlin?"

"You're finally back." Kaitlyn looked at her old partner carefully, and the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously, "We haven't seen each other for half a month, right?"

"Almost." Wei smiled and nodded.

But the next moment, her smile froze on her face, as if she saw something terrifying.

Caitlin... why are you dressed like this?

There is a man here!how can she...

"Caitlin, is this...?" Wei intentionally or unintentionally moved half a step, standing between Caitlin and Mubai, her eyes gradually turned cold.

Hearing this, Kaitlyn suddenly thought of something, her pretty face blushed, and she hesitated a bit: "His name is Mubai, and it's mine...my...that..."

"Which one?"

"That's the one……"

"Which is that?"

"Don't ask, Vi..."

Caitlin blushed and walked around to Mu Bai, holding his hand as if to prove something to her old friend.

"..." Wei froze on the spot, the buzzing power glove became extremely ironic to her ears.

She suddenly noticed something very indecent - there were many red marks on Caitlin's fair neck, and even spread down to the place covered by the clothes, including the northern hemisphere...

That Piltover policewoman who only loves investigating cases, that Kaitlyn with eyes above her head...

Have a lover?

Just in these ten days?

This... What is so special about this man? !

Chapter 32 Piltover High Quality Swordsman

After half an hour, Vi gradually understood everything.

"So, now my partner has been abducted?" She looked helplessly at Caitlin who had just changed her clothes, with a wry smile on her face.

"Hmm..." The latter bowed his head in embarrassment, neither admitting nor denying it.

"Don't be like this, Caitlin, I didn't blame you. On the contrary, you can find your own happiness, and I'm really happy for you." Wei shrugged her shoulders, her tone was very soft, like an old mother who didn't want her daughter to get married.

Their long time as partners has allowed them to develop a deep friendship. At this time, Caitlin was suddenly abducted by a man. Of course, she would feel sad, which is normal.

All good girlfriends in the world are probably like this.

Fortunately... the man who abducted her best friend was not bad, even far beyond expectations.

Not to mention the previous attack and the arrest of Joseph, just the fact that Mu Bai overturned the Alchemy Baron's lair alone was enough to make her jaw drop.

On the way back to Piltover, she heard a lot of rumors. Everyone was talking about the legendary swordsman. At that time, she still listened to it with gusto. She wanted to find some time to see what that man looked like, but she didn't expect...

Wei quietly glanced at the man next to Caitlin, and couldn't help feeling how small the world was.

It turns out that the legendary figure is the man of his best friend...

Strong, courageous, and extraordinary in appearance... I am afraid that there will be no second man of such high quality in the entire Piltover. It is no wonder that Caitlin was abducted.

"Also..." Wei looked at Caitlin with a look of shame, and continued after a short pause: "I hope you can forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye."

"I can understand."

Caitlin nodded, recalling everything that happened before, she couldn't help but secretly rejoice that the other party was able to return safely.

"By the way, Wei. Do you know who transferred you? What is the reason?"

"I don't know... Half a month ago, I received the transfer notice from above, only the seal was not signed, and then I followed the information on the notice to stay in the Zaan trench area for half a month..."

While speaking, Wei's eyes kept staring at the wall, as if deliberately avoiding Caitlin's sight.

"Well, I understand." But the latter didn't notice this detail, "Anyway, it's good to come back safely."

"Yeah, I probably won't leave Picheng again in the future." Wei said with a smile.

"Sounds really good." Caitlin looked at Wei, then at Mubai, and suddenly felt that she was the happiest person in the world.

With best friends and loved ones around, is there any other pursuit in life?

How I wish it could continue like this...

The atmosphere in the room was harmonious and harmonious. After talking about the business, the three of them chatted again. From the acquaintance of Mu Bai and Caitlin to Wei's life experience in Zaan, laughter filled the spacious living room.

But at this moment, there was another knock on the door.

"Let me come." Mu Bai quickly got up and walked towards the gate, giving the two girls the opportunity to continue chatting.

According to the old rules, just to be on the safe side, he only opened a small crack in the door to avoid being attacked.

This time he saw a tall man, about thirty, maybe younger.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Mubai. I'm Jess from Piltover College." The man took the lead and introduced himself briefly.

Seeing the person coming, Mubai opened the door openly - although Jess' temper, words and deeds are not very elegant, but he does have a gentleman's heart.

Mu Bai was not surprised that the other party knew him.His reputation has long spread throughout Piltover, and it is not surprising that anyone knows him.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Jess. Who are you looking for?"

"You." During the conversation, Jess subconsciously looked at the other party with a scrutiny, as if studying a precision machine.

In fact, it's very impolite, but he can't control himself... Occupational disease.

He has always been curious, how did Mu Bai, who is also a human being, solo the Alchemy Baron?What kind of high technology was used?

But the answer made him feel disappointed and surprised—the other party didn't have the slightest sense of technology all over his body, and he wasn't even equipped with an exoskeleton.

Mu Bai noticed that unfriendly gaze, but he didn't say it clearly, "What can I do for you? Come in and sit down, we can talk in detail in the room."

"No need." Jess rejected the proposal without thinking, "I'm in a hurry, so let's talk here."

How rude... Mubai frowned, secretly slandering.

"Okay, let's talk about it here."

"I want to borrow the rest of the robot's energy core." Jess spoke bluntly, "I think that robot is related to a wanted criminal, and the energy core is the key clue to find out the truth."

"The wanted criminal you mentioned is Victor?"

"Yes...you know him?"

"I have heard." Mubai smiled and took out the original crystal fragments from the cloth bag, "here, I hope it can help your research."

"..." Jess was obviously stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the other party to hand over the fragments so easily.

He originally planned to exchange some high-end inventions and silver wheels...

"Thank you..." But anyway, it's a good thing to get it.

"You're welcome, as a member of Picheng's security, I should help anyone or anything that can fight criminals." Mu Bai smiled.

The two functions of this piece of debris have been completed.

The first one is naturally to find Victor’s shadow through it, and the second one is to increase Jess’ favorability.

Get acquainted with Jess first, then you can trick him into the future world to work as a coolie.

"Then thank you for your contribution to Progress City."

Jess showed a rare smile, and then his robotic backpack suddenly opened, and a delicate letter slipped out of the backpack and landed in his hand.

"Actually, I have another thing to do—deliver a letter. A letter from the Philos family."

Mubai took the letter.The wax seal bears Philos' family crest and someone's exclusive seal.

Philos family...
