Hongshi snorted softly and slowed down obediently.
From a distance, the helicopter looks like a small fly flying towards a big cake above the cliff. That big cake is Piltover.
"——Stop, the target ahead stops flying! Accept the routine inspection by Pi City guards immediately!!!"
Sure enough, a huge broadcast sound came to everyone's ears.
Hong Shi glanced directly ahead, and an airship similar to a European medieval hot-air balloon was approaching. However, it only looked similar in appearance. It was actually the most advanced Hex energy-driven flying tool in Rune Land.
This thing is equivalent to Demacia's silver-winged dragon bird. It is a flying tool that can only be owned by Piltover's upper class and air force guards. If a player sneaks up there, his head will be broken by the NPC, and his prestige points will be deducted.
In just a blink of an eye, the Hex airship parked next to the helicopter, and several tall patrol NPCs wearing bright yellow armor and armed with Hex technology firearms appeared.
Lin Luo flew over with an insightful eye and felt a chill in his heart.
[Piltover Guard (Air Force Pvt.)]
[Grade: Deep Purple Grade]
【Level:30】
[Physical attack power: 2000-3000]
[Magic attack power: 2500-3500]
【hp:750000/750000】
[Physical defense: 1500]
[Magic Defense: 1500]
[Piltover Arms (Piltover Air Force): Piltover guards will gain 70% damage immunity within the range of Piltover, and will cause triple damage to any target outside Piltover]
[Piltover Aura (Progressive Energy): His attack will be notified to the other guards immediately. If the battle continues for half an hour and is not resolved, Piltover Law Enforcement Officer will appear]
[Evaluation: Don’t offend these guards, otherwise their Hextech firearms will make you look good]
The level of these patrol NPCs is not high, and the panels are just average.
This is because the city-state of Piltover itself is not very powerful, not even as strong as Demacia.
Just because they are rich and progressive and very unique.
However, in the city-state of Piltover, these guards have 70% immunity to damage and cause triple damage, so they are not something that players can provoke.
"If you are not familiar with the place, don't do anything. I have a way to deal with them."
Lin Luo winked at everyone.
The Piltover guards took a look at this strange and exquisitely designed helicopter. After all, this kind of flying machine is very rare in Piltover. Only Colonel Couch, the heroic bombardier of the Piltover Air Force, has a similar flying helicopter.
.
"It's a very exquisite design. Where are you from? You look so strange?"
A tall and powerful Pi City guard walked over from the airship. The edge of the airship opened open, and a very stable landing channel appeared. It was connected to Hong Shi's helicopter, allowing them to stay in the air very stably at high altitudes.
This Pi City guard turned out to be a level 40 red NPC.
Lin Luo glanced over with an insightful eye, and it turned out that he was an air force corporal, the boss of this group of air forces.
This NPC is really courageous. There are no handrails on both sides of the landing channel, and it is only about one meter wide. At such an altitude of 1,000 meters, he walked directly over with a hex technology gun in his arms.
Arriving in front of the helicopter, he bent down and put his upper body into the helicopter, seemingly investigating whether there were any contraband or dangerous items.
Lin Luo observed this NPC carefully.
The Pi City Police Air Force uniform worn by the opponent is similar to a simplified space suit. It is also covered from top to bottom, and there is a glass cover on the head. However, the player cannot see what is inside the glass cover, but the people inside can.
The outside is a glass material that can be viewed from one side.
"Well, there are no prohibited items. Now answer my question, where did you come from?"
The air force corporal pressed his hand on the red button on his neck, and the glass cover opened, revealing a very young, blond face.
"Please show proof of your nationality."
He glanced at everyone expressionlessly, then paused for a moment on Lin Luo and said.
Lin Luo said calmly:
"We are adventurers from a distant heroic city-state. My name is Lin. I am a nominal member of the heroic city-state. I am also the commander of the fifth-level heroic legion of Demacia. My friend King Jarvan gave me a letter of introduction. He knows Peel.
Councilor Tallis of Tover, this is his personal letter of recommendation, please read it."
[Tip: Do you want to show the other party ‘Jiawen’s letter of recommendation’? 】
Lin Luo chose OK, and he found that after he said these words, the air force corporal's expression immediately became wonderful.
And several guards from the airship behind him quickly came over, took off the glass covers one after another, and looked at him with shocked eyes, and their expressions were very excited.
"Gan! It's him!"
"It's really him. I thought he looked familiar just now!"
"Hey! Mr. Lin, my name is Winter. Did you know that you were recently on the cover of the Times Magazine in our Piltover Progress Plaza? I heard that you personally witnessed the enthronement of the fourth king of Demacia, and also witnessed the god
Traces, what a fool! Is this true!?"
"Is there really a god in this world? What is he like?"
"You have been recognized as a legend of the new era by our Piltover scholars. How did you manage to create a fifth-level legion at such a young age?"
"Blank! Idol!!"
The air force corporal's face darkened and he glared back with dissatisfaction, causing the privates to shut up angrily.
Then with a cold expression, he took out a radar-like technological instrument from his guard uniform, and after turning it on, red and green electronic fluctuations formed a 3D rotating holographic projection, exactly what Lin Luo looked like.
The corporal stared at the holographic projection for more than ten seconds, and then kept looking at Lin Luo, comparing the gap between the two.
Half a minute later, he seemed sure.
Then the man suddenly changed his face in a Sichuan Opera performance and rushed towards Lin Luo. Lin Luo almost reflexively shot him an arrow.
"Please sign your name for me, my idol! Just sign it on my uniform!!"
He hugged Lin Luo's thigh with excitement and shouted loudly!
Lin Luo: "...?"
Cat head: "...?!"
Tata: “…”
Hong Shi was stunned.
What happened? Are all the people in Piltover so enthusiastic?
At this time, Lin Luo finally understood.
He finally understood what it meant for a player to have fifty points of achievement and achieve "famous reputation".
It turns out that this reputation is far-reaching, and its effect is not only on Demacia, but also on the entire Runeterra.
Only if you have this achievement, you will be welcomed everywhere and will respect and admire you.
The most important thing is that Lin Luo presented Jiawen's personal recommendation letter.
After all, this is the gold content of the fourth king of Demacia.
Lin Luo probably guessed that this "famous reputation" is just like fame in reality. When your fame is high, all kinds of people will respect you. When your fame and prestige are high enough, you can even receive interviews from capitalists and even the government.
Out of politeness, Lin Luo signed the corporal's name, and the latter smiled with satisfaction, while the others showed envy and jealousy.
Then the corporal's expression became serious and respectful, he straightly raised his hand to salute Lin Luo, and shouted loudly:
"Piltover Air Force Corporal Suson salutes you, Your Excellency, Piltover welcomes you! Please board the Hex airship, we will take you into Piltover!"
Maotou and Tata were overjoyed. They thought they were going to do some preliminary tasks, but they didn't expect that they would give each other face like this when they met.
Of course they knew that the other party was giving Lin Luo face.
The commander of our heroic army is so great!
"Walk!"
Lin Luo jumped off the helicopter and followed the landing channel with the others to the relatively spacious and warm airship.
Hong Shi put the helicopter away. At this time, she suddenly received a secretly triggered mission. However, she did not look at it more, but walked to the center of the airship with everyone.
Here is an exquisite nanmu table, surrounded by tables and chairs. There are equally exquisite and sweet cakes and rich milk on the table.
He is just the most ordinary private in the Air Force, but he has such superior treatment during his work. Pi City is indeed the richest place in Runeterra.
"Please take a seat, we will enter Piltover soon."
Corporal Su Sen said enthusiastically. He pressed the button on his chest, and the combat uniform on his body immediately began to shrink, turning into a very fitting standard casual suit.
Lin Luo and others watched all this curiously.
Coming from Demacia to Piltover is like going from one world to another.
On one side is a country that completely believes in God, and on the other is a city-state that completely believes in technology. They are completely opposite.
I really don’t know how Jarvan and Jace became friends.
Mao Tou looked like a curious person, looking here and there.
He sat on the chair and stretched out. Suddenly he shrugged his nose and smelled a scent. He quickly followed the scent and looked at it. His eyes were as wide as bells. He couldn't help but pick up a small cake and looked around. He found that
No one pays attention to himself, he immediately throws it into his mouth and starts eating.
He chewed for a while, and the expression on his face gradually became incredible. He quickly threw one cake with his left hand and one with the right hand, and threw a few more small cakes into his mouth. His cheeks bulged, and his expression became indescribable.
"--good!"
He gave a thumbs up and slurred:
"Any more?"
This scene made everyone feel very embarrassed. They coughed twice and turned to look at the scenery.
Mao Tou's voice suddenly sounded in the team chat, and he shouted:
"These cakes are really good. Try them quickly. You will have unexpected effects!"
Just at this time, Corporal Su Sen brought a plate of cakes that had just been taken out of the oven from a distance. It was exquisite in shape and filled with a billowing aroma, which made people's index fingers lick.
"This is a limited edition dessert from the Piltover Chamber of Commerce. It can only be eaten in Piltover, and even in Piltover, ordinary people cannot eat it."
Then Lin Luo found out.
In Piltover, those who can join the Air Force are generally the children of large families or large chambers of commerce. In short, they are related families.
And this Corporal Suson, he is actually the eldest son of the Lyle Chamber of Commerce. This chamber of commerce specializes in manufacturing luxury desserts and drinks. Almost all the afternoon tea of the nobles in Piltover is monopolized by this chamber of commerce. Piltover is more famous.
Chamber of Commerce.
Speaking of which, we have to mention Piltover’s political structure and business structure.
Among the locals, Piltover calls itself Piltover, while they call Zaun Lower City.
The political situation in Pi City also has a parliamentary structure. The seven members are the president of the richest chamber of commerce in Pi City, the head of a noble family, and a scientist. They have the power to make decisions on all matters, big or small, in Pi City.
As for the business structure, each family develops a unique industry, and the strongest one can almost monopolize the entire industry.
For example, Corporal Su Sen of the Piltover Air Force, his family specializes in manufacturing luxury desserts, and has a complete monopoly, not giving others the opportunity to do this business.
The six privates following him, even though they were just privates, were also children from wealthy families in the big chamber of commerce. They were just younger than him and were led by him. They were all friends in private.
There was a guy who looked very excited. He rushed to Lin Luo and said excitedly:
"Lin! I am your idol...no...you are my fan!...Bah!"
He blushed and said:
"My name is Winter...I...don't mean anything else...Please sign your name for me, it's just a small request!"
This scene was sudden and made Lin Luo and others look at each other in shock.
Lin Luo felt that it was too exaggerated and he couldn't understand this kind of behavior at all, but after thinking about it, he also couldn't understand the star-chasing behavior in reality.
If you think about it this way, you can actually understand it. It's really strange.
"Go! Go! Go!"
That Corporal Su Sen pushed him away with a bad face:
"What kind of fandom are you doing at such a young age? I hate people like this the most. You come from a chamber of commerce that smelt steel, so you should act like a straight man and don't engage in these vain things."
Turning around, he placed the steaming cake on the table and said with a smile on his face:
"Are you right, Mr. Lin?"
"...Ah! Yes, you are right."
Lin Luo was too lazy to dwell on this topic. He tasted the cake and found that he had obtained a low attribute effect.
[Tip: You tasted Piltover’s rare dessert, leather miniature cake, and you received random attribute points 1-5 points.]
No wonder Maotou just took one mouthful after another, and it turned out that there was a real reward.
Lin Luo ate five of them in one breath and found that the effect disappeared after the fifth one.
He found that his intelligence increased by seven points, his agility increased by four points, and his strength increased by two points. He was considered a mosquito leg among mosquito legs.
However, this thing is really inaccessible to ordinary players. How to meet people from the Lyle Chamber of Commerce is a problem. If you want to buy it, you will definitely need some permission.
"By the way, Mr. Lin."
Corporal Su Sen suddenly sat down and said in a polite tone:
"I heard that many adventurers like you from the heroic city-state will come to Piltover, is that true?"
Lin Luo said:
"Almost, but not a lot."
Currently, those who can reach level 30 must be the first-tier players. This number is not that large for the entire player group.
"I see……"
Corporal Su Sen was thinking about something.
This made Lin Luo's eyes flash with confusion. Why did he ask this?
Both sides were silent for about a minute.
Lin Luo felt that the entire Hex airship suddenly stirred slightly, and Corporal Su Sen stood up quickly and said:
"Here we are! We have landed in Piltover and welcome you to the City of Progress, Piltover!"
Lin Luo and others nodded and smiled:
"Thank you for your hospitality, Corporal Susan."
They looked at each other, quickly walked down the landing channel, and officially entered this progressive city with the most prosperous reputation in Rune Land.
The place where they landed was the entrance to Piltover. The people here had different costumes, different accents, and different expressions, but they all had one thing in common, that was elegance and dignity!
To be precise, there are no lowly people in Piltover.
The status here is low, but relatively speaking, the truly lowly ones have long been driven to Zuan.
Looking at it, the buildings here resemble the style of the European medieval steam age, with sophisticated architectural art, rigorous and ingenious manufacturing techniques, as well as towering and exquisite aristocratic castles and high-rise buildings.
All the buildings here are a dignified and elegant blend of smooth marble, bronze grids and shining glass. Towers with gold and silver textures stretch into the sky, and arched bridges span the tops of the cliffs on both sides of the rift valley.
.
The entrance to each chamber of commerce building is usually elaborately carved, and even those buildings built before the Hextech era are now decorated with exquisite ornate decoration, thus giving people a deeper impression that Piltover is a city filled with gold.
[Tip: You have set foot in the city-state of Piltover, and you have activated the achievement: Upper Class]
[Achievement reward: Your charm value is 1]
"Damn it, I never thought I could become a member of the upper class."
Mao Tou clicked his tongue in emotion, with an expression on his face that he didn't know what to say.
Lin Luo couldn't help but think of a weird scene. Mao Tou was wearing a tuxedo, sitting in a spacious and elegant hall. After playing an elegant prelude in the key of E, he just picked up the goblet and suddenly glared over fiercely and shouted: You
What are you looking at!
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Lin Luo laughed dumbly.
Maotou looked over suspiciously:
"What are you laughing at?"
"No, I'm just curious about how the history of Piltover developed."
Piltover is also divided into two eras.
A long time ago, this was a trading post on both sides of the mainland, and it was extremely rich. In recent decades, due to the birth of Hex Technology, Piltover has not only engaged in sea trade, but also engaged in air trade.
Just like what Lin Luo saw before.
Maritime trade in the old days is still going on, but it's just poor people and ordinary people who make ends meet.
The Hex Flying Gate in the air completes the space teleportation technology, forming a new era of aerial trading. Only the great warlords and wealthy families of various countries can use this high-end trading method.
To put it simply, Piltover, which was already rich in oil, has developed from the original seaport trade to today's sea and air trade, and has changed from being rich in oil to being rich in diamonds.
"The sea trade below should be managed by Zaun, and the Hex air trade above should be managed by Pi City."
Lin Luo guessed this.
However, it is conceivable that the economic gap between the two trades is huge. Those at the bottom are poor people, and those at the top are wealthy bosses from all over the world. This gap is not even a little bit.
"Guigui, you are a capitalist after all!"
Mao Tou sighed in surprise:
"There is such an awesome space transfer technology, but it is only used to make money. How much do these people love money? I suggest that we dig a large channel under the sea, start a seabed trade, and directly make three times the money. I
What do you think of the idea, does anyone invest in it?"
Hong Shi looked at him like an idiot:
"How do you dig it? Go ahead and dig it. I suggest you change your job to a Void Escape Beast!"
Maotou said excitedly:
"You can invite players from Lanxiang Technical School to come over and drive an excavator to dig through the seabed!"
Lin Luo raised his hand to interrupt:
"That's enough, stop talking nonsense and get down to business by upgrading quickly."
He looked around at this strange city-state:
"I'm going to find a noble NPC now. If nothing happens, it should be able to trigger the main mission. You guys go around and see if you can encounter any special missions. Remember not to engage in any dangerous actions. We will gather here then, or
I'll send you the coordinates."
When players come to a new area, the first thing they do is definitely look for quests.
Lin Luo has a letter of recommendation from Jiawen, so he should be able to easily issue a main quest.
