Jess walked out of the parliamentary hall and came to the busy Piltover.
Having lost everything, he did not show a disappointed expression, but a solemn expression as he quickly walked in the distance.
Although now he has lost a lot of things.
But maybe no one knows that he got a treasure that no one expected!
It was precisely because of this thing that he resolutely gave up his seat as chairman of the parliament and his luxurious and upscale life...
And this thing...
Jace quickly arrived in front of a huge academy.
Maybe everyone would reject him, but definitely not here.
Because this is a place independent of Piltover's power, that is, Professor Heimerdinger's Institute of Technology.
Jace once studied here, and it was here that Hex Technology was developed, and now he has returned here again.
"Huh? You are..."
As soon as Jace entered the door, he saw the red poem next to Heimerdinger.
He vaguely remembered this person. She seemed to be the one who helped Lin Luo and Aman sneak into Piltover. However, she had now become an official student of Heimerdinger, so the matter was forcibly covered up.
"Why are you here?"
Hong Shi also looked at Jace with a surprised expression.
Her first thought was that someone from Piltover had come to arrest her?
But she soon felt something was wrong.
Because she remembered very clearly that Jace had been tried by the Piltover Council, and he couldn't have come to arrest her!
The mutual suspicion between the two was interrupted by a wise voice.
Professor Heimerdinger came over and stared at Jace with a surprised look:
"You actually came to my place? I have heard about the matter in the parliament. I feel very sympathetic to your matter..."
Perhaps ordinary people don't know the consequences of offending Parliament.
But Heimerdinger knew very well that the superiors in Piltover could give Jess wealth and food, but they could still take it back in an instant.
Perhaps Jace came to the academy to seek refuge with him because he was desperate.
After all, Jace was once a student of Heimerdinger.
But no one expected that Jace didn't feel any regret or depression at all.
Instead, he took a deep breath, looked at Heimerdinger with a solemn expression, and lowered his voice:
"Doctor... I do this for a reason! I have a huge secret that I must tell you..."
As he spoke, he glanced at the red poem next to him and stopped talking.
Heimerdinger said:
"Let's just say it directly, Hong Shi is my student, there is no need to avoid her."
Jace nodded, his expression became extremely nervous, and then he suddenly took out a small box from his pocket. After opening it, a purple Hex gem appeared in front of the three of them.
"Professor... look carefully, is this the thing we have been looking for before?"
If Lin Luo were here, he would definitely recognize it.
This is the Hex gem he bribed to Corporal Su Sen. It turns out that Jace got it later!
Of course Hong Shi recognized this thing, she had seen it with her own eyes!
And she even guessed that it must have been Jace who obtained the Hex Gem when he interrogated the Corporal Su Sen.
Hong Shi suddenly sensed something, and she exclaimed in shock:
"Is this the real reason why you helped Aman and the others?"
She was able to discover this clue for a very crucial reason that no one else knew.
That is, she and Professor Heimerdinger are currently working on a new science project that requires the use of Hex Gems!
This project is groundbreaking.
Once successful, it will be enough to change the entire landscape of Piltover!
As a scientist and a senior student of Hongshi, Jace must also understand!
"Yes! I know through that Corporal Su Sen that Lin has the Hex Stone on his body..."
Jess's expression became excited.
And the eyes exude a light that has never been seen before!
"This means that if Lin can return to Zaun and find Victor... he will definitely be able to use the Hex Stone to help Victor!"
Jess said in an excited tone:
"Then Victor's new research will definitely have a qualitative breakthrough!"
He suddenly looked at Heimerdinger and said:
"Professor, no one knows Victor better than me! Our research comes from the same lineage, and the direction of our exploration will all require Hex gems! That's why I want to help him and Aman return to Zaun..."
He took a deep breath and said with an extremely distant look:
"If with his help, Victor can develop that brand-new technology, and we cooperate internally and externally... maybe we can really break the pattern of Piltover! Break the pattern of the entire Twin City!!"
Professor Heimerdinger frowned and looked at the Hex Gem.
Of course he knew about the major smuggling incident that happened in Piltover before, but he didn't expect that Jace would think so much about it.
"You mean...the reason why you took such a risk is because of the Hex Gem?"
Jess nodded heavily and said:
"That's right! Since Lin can be generous enough to use this to bribe the investigators, it means there is more than one of him! And Wang also helped him, so he will definitely be able to find Victor hidden in Zaun! Looking at it this way, I must help him return to
Zuan, let him meet with Victor! He is very likely to help Victor break through the shackles of technology!"
It turned out that this was the real reason why Jace helped Lin Luo leave.
He knew that Lin Luo had the Hex Gem on him, so he had to help Lin Luo return to Zaun and send him to see Victor.
in other words.
In fact, Jess’s real purpose is to help Victor!
He wants to help Victor push forward on the latest road and complete the last step!
Before this, everyone felt that Jace was too stupid to offend the Council for a Zaun man.
But everyone knows that Jace’s real intention is here!
"Well... if Victor knew your good intentions, he would definitely forgive you."
Heimerdinger was well aware of the feud between the two students.
Rather than saying it is a grudge, it is better to say it is a bitter past.
These two enemies who are now at odds with each other were once such good friends.
But Heimerdinger was confused and said:
"But as far as I know, all the Hex gems have been mined now. This should be a non-renewable resource. How could that adventurer have such a thing?"
…
"How did you get such a thing, can you tell me?"
Dr. Victor spent half a day and finally completed Aman's experimental surgery.
He came outside the laboratory and asked Lin Luo very puzzledly.
"This kind of resource has long been exhausted by uncontrolled exploitation. I'm so surprised that you can obtain it!"
Lin Luo said perfunctorily:
"This is a gem I found in Demacia, and I don't know much about it."
Dr. Victor understood, and then he suddenly asked:
"By the way, don't the people in Piltover know about this? Otherwise they wouldn't be able to let you come back alive easily."
Lin Luo was stunned.
Then he suddenly frowned, and he began to realize that something was wrong.
It was fine that Victor didn't ask, but after this question came up, all kinds of doubts arose.
Because if he remembered correctly, he bribed Corporal Suson to use the Hex Gem, and then he was arrested by Jace, so the gem would obviously fall into Jace's hands.
Jace is also an outstanding scientist. It is impossible for him not to know the function of the Hex Stone...
……hiss!
Lin Luo suddenly discovered something suspicious, and he began to feel that something was wrong!
In other words, even though Jace knew that he had the Hex Stone, he still wanted to help him return to Zaun. At the same time, Pell obviously didn't know about the Hex Stone.
Could it be that……
Jace deliberately concealed the gems before and went out of his way to help himself?
But why?
He suddenly thought of what Dr. Wang said before. Jess felt very guilty for Victor...
He has been silently protecting Zu An in his own way.
"Could it be that...this is why he would rather attack Pell than protect me back to Zaun!"
Lin Luo raised his head suddenly, and he suddenly understood everything!
"That's absolutely the case! He even chose to escape from witnessing Victor's rebellion. It's impossible for him to fight for me just for a casual relationship... This is unreasonable! Is it because of this gem?"
He looked at Victor suddenly and said:
"He must have expected that I would come to find you when I returned to Zu'an, so he helped me at all costs."
"Does he really want me to hand over the Hex Stone to you? In other words, the person he really wants to help is not me, but you... It turns out that Jace has been helping you silently! Victor
PhD."
Jess didn't say anything about this before. It must be because Pell was watching him all the time, so he couldn't speak at all!
The only thing he could do at that time was to help him return to Zaun.
Let yourself slowly understand his difficulties and understand his motives!
Just like Dr. Wang said at the beginning.
Jace never gave up his friendship with Victor. He always felt guilty and wanted to help Victor and Zaun.
It turns out that this is his real purpose!
After Lin Luo sorted out all this, he quickly looked at Victor, he had to make this matter clear!
"Dr. Victor, do you still remember your best friend when you were young, Jess Tallis? Maybe he once did something that made you angry, but I want to tell you something next. I hope you can stay calm."
There is no doubt that the word Jace is Victor's weakness.
Before this, Lin Luo tried not to mention these two words as much as possible. He was afraid that Victor would become emotional.
Such a paranoid and lonely Frankenstein would have unimaginable consequences if his mood fluctuates.
Sure enough, when Victor heard the word Jace, a cold thunderous force erupted all over his body, making Lin Luo's scalp numb.
"What do you want to say?"
Victor looked at Lin Luo coldly.
Lin Luo took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
"What I want to tell you is the details of what happened when I went to Piltover, and what happened when I escaped from Piltover."
Lin Luo did not hide this story at all. He bribed himself to the Air Force Corporal, then went to find Dr. Wang, later escaped from Piltover, and finally Jess's great help.
Victor's brain was really good. He only listened to it once and immediately understood the logic.
He looked up at Lin Luo:
"Are you sure you didn't lie to me?"
Lin Luo nodded seriously:
"I swear to God! Not a single word is false!"
He didn't believe that Victor couldn't tell. Jace dared to take the risk of helping the smugglers because of his former best friend Victor.
He knew he had the Hex Gem, and he knew even better that Victor needed the Hex Gem for his research.
So he must send himself back, he is helping Victor!
As for the reason...
Lin Luo looked at Victor very solemnly and said:
"Before I left, Jace told me personally that he needed me to help him resolve the conflict in the Twin Cities! Thinking about it carefully, this kind of thing has no meaning at all to him who is successful and famous, so the meaning of him doing this is not for himself.
But for the original intention!”
Lin Luo said in a deep voice:
"I heard Dr. Wang say that you two made an oath at the Sun Gate to use Hex Technology to change Zaun. This has always been your ideal, right? Jace has never abandoned his ideal! He has always
Fight until you are silent!"
Lin Luo's words really caused Victor to have great mood swings.
But this kind of mood swing is not the kind of angry or frustrated mood, but a complex, painful, and even sad mood.
There is no doubt that Victor has always hated Jace.
He hated his inability to argue, and hated Jace's timidity and cowardice.
But now Lin Luo told him that Jace had not really abandoned his ideals, he was just silently moving towards his original ideals in his own way.
If this requires a proof.
Then Lin Luo at this time is living proof.
Jace risked losing everything to protect Lin Luo and Aman and return to Zaun.
This is the best proof.
"Hmph! Even if what you said is true, I will never forgive that guy if Zu An cannot be liberated for one day!!"
Victor was silent for a long time, then suddenly gritted his teeth and said.
[Tip: You have completed the hidden plot mission: Dr. Wang’s commission.]
[Task description: You have proved what Jace did with your personal experience. Victor struggled in his heart, but finally chose to let go of his stubborn hatred. He began to understand Jace's difficulties. 】
[Tip: You successfully resolved the grudge bond between Jess and Victor, and solved the knot in Dr. Victor’s heart.]
[You have obtained mission reward 1: Dr. Wang’s favorability towards you has been increased to: respect.]
[You have received mission reward 2: you will receive free treatment at Dr. Wang’s hospital from now on.]
Lin Luo laughed dumbly. He didn't expect that Victor was still an arrogant person.
Although he refused to admit it, the game prompts could not be wrong. At least what he said touched him, and he already understood what Jace had done.
However, those rewards must be submitted back to Dr. Wang before they can be officially obtained, so this should not be rushed.
"So...that guy Jace helped you...no wonder you were able to escape from Piltover. Hmm, that guy did a good thing."
Victor said to himself.
As they were once best friends and had devoted themselves to the path of science together, they knew each other too well.
What Lin Luo said was on the one hand, he himself was also considering the authenticity of the matter.
Finally, his reason told him that there should be no truth to this matter.
"But having said that...since he sent you back in person, it seems that he has guessed the progress of my research..."
Victor looked up at the distant sky and murmured.
"Sure enough, no one in this world knows me better than you, you damn guy!"
The first sentence he said was to Lin Luo, and the second sentence was to Jace.
Dr. Victor pondered for a while and suddenly said:
"So, Jess's research plan is about to succeed."
Lin Luo listened quietly. Although he didn't quite understand the details, he at least guessed that Victor was indeed researching new technology.
And as expected, Jess seems to be researching new technologies as well.
A terrible thought came to mind.
Lin Luo suddenly thought, could it be that these two brothers were going to do something big and join forces inside and outside?
This is very possible, otherwise why would Jace send himself back?
The more Lin Luo thought about it, the more he felt like a storm was coming.
The conflict in the Twin Cities has developed to this point and seems to have reached a breaking point. If it goes any further, it will completely explode!
And the result of the explosion...
It is very likely that there will be another war!
And Lin Luo felt that the Hex gems he brought played a key acceleration role!
It allowed Victor and Jess's research projects to achieve a leap-forward breakthrough faster!
And technological breakthroughs mean an absolute improvement in combat effectiveness!
In the face of huge contradictions, once the combat effectiveness is improved, a new war will inevitably be triggered!
And this is no coincidence!
Because the Battle of Two Cities has happened more than once!
"Could it be that……"
An extremely shocking thought appeared in Lin Luo's mind:
"The third Battle of Two Cities is going to start soon?"
…
Sure enough, as Lin Luo thought, the twin cities, which had been silent for twenty years, were finally about to usher in the third war!
A huge game prompt appeared in my mind.
[Tip: You triggered the core final mission of Twin Cities: The Third Battle of Twin Cities!]
[Task description: Through all the clues you learned, you finally guessed the arrival of the third Battle of the Two Cities! Piltover was completely angered by Zaun’s smuggling incident, and Dr. Victor’s new technology achieved accelerated breakthroughs.
A conflict that has been building up for twenty years has completely erupted! The war is about to start, please finish this revolutionary war no matter what!!]
[Mission Reward 1: After the success of the Zaun Revolution, as a revolutionary pioneer, you will receive one-fifth of the trading rights in the two trade routes of Zaun and Piltover in your name. As long as it does not violate the laws of the game
, you can introduce any plot characters, local countries, player legions, and merchant players to join the trade routes at will, but the income you gain during the period must be legally taxed.]
[Mission Reward 2: Your prestige points in Zaun and Piltover are increased to: 500 points, and you will gain the highest respect from all people in Zaun and Piltover.]
[Task Reward 3: You can pay the fee to purchase alchemy technology and hex technology through legal channels, and the goodwill between you and all the legendary plot characters in Twin Cities will be increased to: respect!]
[Task Reward 4: You will receive a mysterious gameplay reward, which depends on the completion of this task. 】
Lin Luo stared at this task in stunned silence!
His guess was indeed correct. There was indeed a great mission hidden in the Twin Cities, and the rewards were so rich that it was scary!
The first is the first reward. If the revolution in the Battle of the Two Cities succeeds, and Lin Luo is the pioneer of the revolution, the game will reward partial trading rights to the two trade routes of Zaun and Piltover.
This means that Zaun will no longer be a disgusting sewer. Players can enter this place and introduce all partners into the waterway.
Why is Piltover rich? It is precisely because they monopolize the waterway and take all the money into their own pockets. But after Lin Luo completes the task and obtains some trading rights, he will inevitably become the most terrifying rich man among the players.
And the money itself is not the most critical, but the additional benefits brought by the entire channel.
This means that in the future, I will gain a pivotal position in the game's circle of businessmen and players. After all, Zaun is the waterway of the entire Runeterra. Once a business opportunity arises, countless businessmen and players will flock to it, and all of this is controlled by Lin.
Luo's hands.
In addition, there is also the extremely high favorability of the characters in the legendary plot. If this reward can be used well, then in the future, players in the Legion of Heroes will no longer need to slowly explore when they change jobs, but can develop in batches. Of course, this is just a guess.
, the details will have to wait until the task is completed.
Finally, there is the right to purchase Alchemy Technology and Hex Technology.
This is very scary information, because normally, it is difficult for ordinary players to obtain high-level alchemy and Hextech equipment.
Especially for the third generation, and even the fourth generation technology that will be released in the future, this level of difficulty is a bit difficult for other players, not to mention Lin Luo.
But if Lin Luo can get this reward, he can use money to buy technology.
What is this concept?
To put it simply, others need the top-notch equipment for team building, but you can buy it with money!
If you spend money crazily, you can buy them in batches. Then there will even be this scene. Someone else's legion commander is still brushing equipment, but Lin Luo's legion members have already bought the finished products. This is simply an essential gap!
But the price must be very high, so where will the money come from?
So, this goes back to the first reward.
The mission rewards one-fifth of the twin-city trade channel rights. Are you still worried about having no money to spend?
Lin Luo thought about it carefully and immediately clapped his hands and applauded!
It is indeed the core top task of Twin City, and this reward is simply awesome.
Unfortunately, the tasks cannot be shared, but it is very reasonable, otherwise the five people would have divided up the trade channel rights.
And this task is unique.
Once it is done, it is gone from now on and no one else can continue to do it.
Lin Luo could only explain the details of the mission orally, and Tata and Maotou's eyes almost popped out of their heads!
"Wow!!!"
Mao Tou was even more excited than Lin Luo. He shouted:
"We must complete the mission! This mission is so awesome!!"
Tata's face turned red with excitement and she clenched her fists tightly.
The fact that a player can control the trade rights of a large city-state in the game is terrifying in itself, not to mention that this is the only major trade channel in Runeterra.
As for the future Hex and Alchemy series equipment, they are almost the same as using them for free.
Once this mission is completed, will you not be invincible from now on?
Even if you can't reach the point of being invincible in the entire Runeterra, there is absolutely no problem in becoming a giant on the world map!
At that time, Lin Luo would no longer be relying on Demacia, but he would become a new legend in his own right.
On the other hand, think about it, what are the other legions doing now?
Not surprisingly, they are all still in various regions, establishing good relations with the local powerful and powerful plutocrats and asking for tasks.
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as this ultimate task is completed.
While other players are still working hard, Lin Luo has already harvested.
And what others cultivate is one-third of an acre.
But what Lin Luo gained was a sea of stars!
"It's so awesome... This is so awesome..."
Maotou feels like he is dreaming!
What is grand plan and great cause? This is called grand plan and great cause.
Thinking of completing the mission, Lin Luo stood on the Gate of the Sun in Piltover, overlooking countless merchants and passers-by, coming and going in the vast waterway, and he was...
Maotou suddenly frowned and realized something was wrong...
Because he suddenly felt, isn't this what the capitalists in Piltover are doing now?
He looked at Lin Luo and found that Lin Luo was also thinking.
Obviously, he also thought about this, and thought deeper than himself.
"Don't think too much, keep your feet on the ground first and think about how to complete the task."
Lin Luo glanced at him:
"Difficulty and benefit are relative. You don't think this task is easy, do you?"
Only then did Mao Tou wake up. Lin Luo was right. He was just following him. He hadn't even completed the task yet, so he started thinking about rewards.
"So what do we do?"
Tata asked.
Lin Luo said without changing his expression:
"Everything can only be done by Dr. Victor. He is the admirer of countless people in Zaun. As long as he is willing to take action, the war will begin and the revolution will begin. So take your time and save Oman first."
He remembered correctly, Dr. Victor used brand-new technological power to perform experimental surgery on Aman.
Once Aman's operation is successful, it will mean that Victor's new technology has achieved a breakthrough.
And only technological breakthroughs can provide the capital for war.
Lin Luo looked at Victor and expressed his true thoughts:
"Doctor, I believe you now know my purpose. I have promised Jace that I will do my best to help him resolve the conflict between the two cities. Now that it is like this, why not tell me your research plan?"
He thought he had made it very clear.
The previous Dr. Victor did not trust him, but he had given him the Hex Stone and told him everything.
Victor is a very smart man, and he never takes a unclear position.
"Well... of course I know you are here to help me."
Dr. Victor nodded and suddenly said something surprising:
"But this research plan... Frankly speaking, I actually don't know what direction it is going to take."
Lin Luo was stunned, as were Tata and Maotou.
"Doctor, you don't even know? Is this a joke?"
Of course Victor was not joking, he said seriously:
"You are not scientists. You may not understand that the path of exploration is unknown. There are many completely unknown technologies. Before they are completely successfully launched, you cannot predict its capabilities, power and magic...
I just have a general direction, but I have no idea how this research plan will develop at the end..."
Lin Luo and others looked at each other, how could things be like this?
Blitzcrank scratched his head in confusion:
"Doctor... aren't you studying the fourth generation alchemy technology?"
Victor shook his head:
"Of course not. Some of the alchemy technology is in the hands of the Alchemist Baron. But this time I developed it alone, so it cannot be classified as alchemy technology. Naturally, it cannot be called several generations of alchemy technology. It is an independent research plan.
!”
Lin Luo spread his hands and said:
"You don't even have a name?"
Victor gave him a strange look:
"Don't you know that a technology is first successfully researched and then named based on the results of the research? It's like giving birth to a child. You first know whether the child is a boy or a girl, and then you name it based on gender. How can anyone choose a name in advance?
"
Lin Luo was speechless for the first time.
The point is, what this guy said really makes sense.
"Oh... that means it doesn't even have a name. So what is the specific success rate of the experiment?"
Dr. Victor seemed unsure. He thought for several minutes.
"Before you came, it was only 30% at most. Originally, I was sure that after ten years, the success rate would be raised to 70%. But luckily, you brought the Hex Gem, which directly increased the success rate of the experiment to 70%.
Eighty percent."
Lin Luo's eyes lit up:
"So, the chance of success is very high!"
Dr. Victor shook his head and said:
"Actually, from a scientific research perspective, the success rate is only zero or 100%. I don't think the success rate is very high this time. The main reason actually depends on Oman himself."
Lin Luo said puzzledly:
"What's the meaning?"
Dr. Victor said solemnly:
"You have to know that people are not guinea pigs. People are creatures with thoughts, wills and beliefs. Different people face the same experiment, and the results are absolutely different. You can't understand this truth."
Lin Luo nodded, of course he understood this.
Just like facing a terminal illness, different people have completely different treatment results due to their different mental states and beliefs. This must be the same for Aman's surgery.
Dr. Victor said:
"So, the 80% success rate is based on the experiment and your Hex Gem, and the remaining 20% is on Aman himself. The most important thing is... the former is a quantitative value that cannot be changed, while the latter is
It can be changed, so I said, it can only depend on Aman himself."
Dr. Victor said with an extremely solemn tone:
"If she has extraordinary will and belief and can survive...then the success rate of this operation can reach 90% or even 100%!"
Lin Luo was silent for a while, and then asked:
"How long will this surgical experiment last?"
Dr. Victor said:
"At least two days! If more, even a week!"
Maotou said in shock:
"It's been so long. Is it true?"
Victor glanced at him:
"This is an unprecedented invention. I have been working on it for twenty years. Do you think one week is too long?"
Everyone was suddenly speechless.
Lin Luo took a deep breath and looked at the transparent glass laboratory ahead.
Among them is a huge energy nutrition tank. Aman's body is covered with catheters, and she is lying quietly in it. It seems that the power of thunder and lightning is transforming her. Her expression shows an unbearable look through the turbid medicine.
The pain was evident, and he was obviously experiencing unspeakable pain.
"You just wait here quietly, I'm going to do other things."
Victor stopped staying and turned around and walked outside.
