Ike led the way with a smile, but couldn't stop looking at Chai Anping with curious eyes.
"Director, by the way...have you been in the newspapers recently?"
He suddenly said in surprise: "It's that... the savior of Pi City or something..."
"Well--"
Chai Anping wanted to give him a blow on the head, but seeing that he had already distanced himself, he didn't bother to hit him: "That's it."
"I said so!" Ike carefully recalled the contents of the newspaper. For most children in Zaun, the news in the Piltover Daily is generally viewed as a joke, especially what appears in the newspaper.
Officials and workshop owners would be graffitied with their portraits wantonly, so Ike was not very impressed by the "Heroes of Piltover" that appeared a while ago.
Now that he could recognize it, he was already very observant. He scratched his head and tried his best to drive out of his mind the front-page portrait of damn Chris with a red bra and purple panties.
Did the newspaper say that Mr. School Director made headlines for something?
forgotten!
He tried to ask Chai Anping about the inside story, but Chai Anping gave him a sideways look, indicating that this was not something that children needed to care about.
Ike took him to a restaurant that looked like a mid-range restaurant. Chai Anping nodded secretly. Although he grew up in Zaun, Ike obviously didn't have too many bad habits. He didn't treat him just because he said he wanted to treat him.
He lured him to some top restaurant and slaughtered him.
The walls of the restaurant are equipped with high-power air filters, so it looks very clean and tidy.
It can be seen that Ike has longed to come to a place like this for a long time.
He carefully moved the clean chair in front of the table, sat on it, and placed his bag beside him in an orderly manner.
"Welcome, you two!"
Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, a woman in her thirties or forties came out of the kitchen. What was striking was that one of her legs had been replaced with a mechanical leg.
She came over with a smile on her face and asked, "What would you like to eat?"
Chai Anping pushed the menu in front of Ike and said with a smile: "Order it yourself."
"Okay, sir!"
After the woman finished taking down the list and left, Ike breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm starting to miss those little stalls where you can talk loudly."
"Ha ha!"
Chai Anping was happy when he heard this: "Don't you like this kind of place?"
"Uh, no! Sir." Ike thought for a moment and said, "I just want to experience the feeling of sitting here. They all said they must come to such a good place."
"You have that kind of magical power, and your future is immeasurable." Chai Anping said with a smile: "Don't mention coming to a place like this to eat in the future, even the big families in Pi City will not look down upon you."
"But……"
Thinking of his Z-drive that was almost scrapped, Ike couldn't help but feel a little discouraged - it had no effect after using it twice.
Chai Anping took the initiative to mention this matter, and he quickly cheered up. One of the main reasons why he wanted to stay with Chai Anping was to confirm his speculation about the ability to rewind time...
"By the way, Mr. Director, you can stay conscious while going back in time, right? Just like me!"
"Um."
Chai Anping nodded without hesitation: "This should not be the first time you have used this ability, but it is also the first time I have experienced this situation. It can be seen that its activation has a certain range of effects."
He told Ike about the flaws of the Z-drive, and carefully warned him that people who can stay awake while going back in time are by no means an exception. Before this technology is mature, it is not appropriate to expose this ability easily.
"...This might be a power that even the gods would covet." He said with some emotions that Ike couldn't understand.
Through conversations with Ike, he determined that the Z-drive was indeed still in the testing stage, and the energy circuit was in an extremely unstable state. There was still a long way to go to perfect it.
And he also determined that the ability to rewind time is definitely not just an ability that can be achieved by that fragment. It is also closely related to the energy circulation channel designed by Ike. The combination of the two gave birth to such a terrifying ability.
.
"Sir, if this ability is so powerful, wouldn't you be... tempted? After all, it is... uh..."
Ike lowered his head and said anxiously: "After all, you can stay awake while going back in time."
"Listen, Ike." Chai Anping showed a gentle smile on his lips. Look - didn't he take the bait himself?
"Strong power does not mean absolute, and the torrent of time is even more difficult to control. For you, this is a sharp double-edged sword. The cost of mastering it may be beyond your imagination. Besides, I don't have Hex."
Knowledge about technology." He said without blushing or out of breath: "Only the power that truly belongs to you will not distort your mind and allow you to stay awake in the face of powerful forces."
What are the signs of burglary?
I, Chai Anping, don’t know anything!
"Besides, it's very difficult for you to fully utilize the effectiveness of this device with your current abilities, isn't it?" He gave an example: "For example, even if you go back in time many times, I am sure that you will not be able to escape my control.
And every time you restart...I can also have corresponding memories. This must be an increasingly desperate situation for you."
After thinking about Chai Anping's skills, Ike, who didn't even dare to provoke the gangsters, suddenly let out a frustrated breath in his heart.
"So you have to understand that this is definitely not an invincible ability."
Chai Anping solemnly said: "On the contrary, this will bring you endless trouble. As long as you... are still a mortal, you are destined to be unable to remain perfect in reality forever."
If Feng Nu came over with force, I still had two questions as to whether Ike could move his finger to activate the Z-drive.
Besides, can Ike stay awake for the rest of his life, or live with the Z-Drive in his arms forever?
"I understand! Thank you, Mr. Director!"
Ike immediately nodded seriously after hearing this.
Chai Anping knew that voluntarily giving up his plans for the Z-drive was definitely the best way to gain Ike's trust - if he didn't even grab such a good thing, wouldn't he be a good person?
Moreover, Chai Anping felt that if he brought this thing with him, he might be targeted by some evil god.
Not to mention the nearby Feng Nu who often had trysts with him in his dreams, and the mysterious existence that the magic weapon Jackdaw can communicate with, and even further away, Mordekaiser, who he had met once in the fantasy world, could he
Don’t want to get angry!
Mainly, this thing is useless when you are not strong enough.
So after comparing the two sides, Chai Anping decisively gave up on this thing. Of course, if Ike could mass-produce it in the future (he wanted to eat it), he wouldn't mind wearing a few around his waist.
"Let's eat first."
The food was soon served, and Ike, who felt relieved, still started to eat.
Being able to share this secret with a trustworthy "big man" and get his advice made Ike, who was still quite ignorant, less anxious, and it also made him unknowingly understand the situation.
Chai Anping's impression became more and more majestic.
——Mr. School Director is such a good person!
He imagined a lot of protagonist halo treatment that only male protagonists in novels have, and felt that his golden finger was really a super powerful insider!
