"Congressman, someone from the Hood family has escaped from prison!"
"What?"
A new day, a new confusion.
Chai Anping, who had just come out of the room after getting dressed, felt a little stupid: "Who ran away?"
By the way, in a technological city like Pi City, can criminals still escape from prison?
"It's the young master named Kemp Hood."
"It's actually him?"
Chai Anping thought of Kemp, whom he had met once before: "Then the Joint Council will be very busy."
As someone who participated in the meeting to divide the property of the Hood family, he naturally knows how many good things are hidden in this oligarch whose house was suddenly ransacked. These are also the blood of the Hood family that has not yet been sent to the gallows at the Sun Gate.
s reason.
And Kemp Hood is clearly the top priority.
"What did the Chamber of Commerce say?"
"Based on the inspection of the equipment, the Piltover Police Department claimed that an atomized undead sneaked into the prison and took Kemp Hood away."
"Undead?!"
Chai Anping suddenly raised his eyebrows, "Why is this Silas guy... getting involved with Kemp Hood again?"
Chai Anping didn't believe that the prisoner was a strange undead spirit!
"Let the people in the embassy be more vigilant and double the number of people on duty." He said: "Beware of the remaining forces of the Hood family jumping over the wall. If it doesn't work, seek official protection from Pi City. After all, they are the ones who caused the mess..."
"yes!"
Shaking his head and leaving the mission, Chai Anping went directly to the workshop prepared for Heimerdinger and the others today.
Tomorrow is the opening ceremony of Piltover's Evolution Day. Heimerdinger and the others are essentially the institute's research laboratory and also have work requirements.
Of course, given their ability, they have already prepared the exhibits to be displayed at the exhibition.
Arriving at the workshop owned by his chamber of commerce, Chai Anping first walked around his property.
This workshop is built along the river not far from the Clock Academy. It is convenient for Heimerdinger and the others to come here to "work". It covers an area of more than 1,000 square meters. It is not a large workshop and cannot be compared with the industrial area of Zaun.
, but it is small and sophisticated inside, with all kinds of sophisticated and expensive appliances.
The cost of building such a workshop is astonishing!
Walk to the door again and successfully pass the identity check to enter the workshop.
Chai Anping discovered the traces of the yordle in front of a circular machine whose main body was shaped like a giant gear. Beside him were a group of his students, all holding pens and paper while Big Tou explained various workshop devices.
Ike was also among them and listened very carefully to the purpose and usage.
This environment, full of the smell of engine oil and the roar of gears, is simply his favorite!
"Professor Heimerdinger, good morning."
"Well, good day, Director Shelley!" Heimerdinger raised his head upon hearing this and smiled gently at Chai An.
His students also quickly greeted Chai Anping respectfully. Being the owner of such a workshop is a level that most of them will never reach in their lifetime——
They are just hard-working wage earners.
"Don't be restrained, Professor, are you satisfied with the facilities here?"
Chai Anping patted the operating table beside him: "If you have any other needs, please feel free to apply to the workshop supervisor."
"This is already an extremely professional R&D workshop!" Heimerdinger exclaimed: "For this reason, I have to introduce the use of these new equipment to my students..."
"As long as you are satisfied."
Chai Anping smiled and said: "The maintenance work of the mecha depends on you."
They had previously reached a contract agreement with Heimerdinger, which even included certain confidentiality clauses. It is impossible for such an important project to say that the people of the Demacia Mission would not take it seriously. The contract was drawn up by professionals.
, meeting the needs of both parties in a very harmonious manner.
Chai Anping ensured Heimerdinger and the others' generous environment and income, and there was no limit to the knowledge they could learn, but the specifics of the maintenance work itself needed to be kept strictly confidential.
A considerable number of these mechas will be sent back to Demacia. On the one hand, they can perform miraculous effects on the battlefield, and on the other hand, they will reduce the pressure on Jarvan III to implement the policy of abolishing the ban on demons.
Once Piltover's evolutionary day has passed, the Alice will begin its first return voyage.
He is responsible for conveying the mission's phased results to the country. At the same time, he can also help Chai Anping and others send some overseas liaison letters.
"Then I won't disturb the professor's class."
Chai Anping nodded to Ike, and felt relieved when he saw that he still had an excited look on his face.
If this guy gives up his studies and joins Zaun directly to do research on his own like the original trajectory, it will be a loss for him as a top talent!
He was really looking forward to the sparks that Heimerdinger would have with the developed Ike.
He then inspected the management of the workshop. Because Demacia has limited manpower and specialized skills, there are not many people in their group who are good at managing this kind of workshop, so most of the staff in the workshop still maintain their original staff.
, Chai Anping only kicked out some staunch supporters of the Hood family.
Fortunately, it does not affect the operation of the workshop.
He left the workshop after solemnly instructing Heimerdinger and others to take good care of them. The boss showed up in person to give instructions, and the effect was definitely more direct and effective than a single notice.
Corporal Li Xian's approach is still very popular here in Pi City.
Because there are scholars and technicians everywhere, it is actually very difficult for most unknown scholars here to get into the sight of big families. The oligarchic practices are arrogant, and there are countless people in this huge city-state.
They have all the talents at their disposal, so it is rare for workshop owners like Chai Anping to value newcomers.
They usually like to spend a lot of money to hire inventors who have already become famous!
Now there are people in Heimerdinger's team praising Chai Anping's actions, which makes them feel that the school director values them!
Although it is not difficult for them to join a workshop owned by a big family based on their achievements, it is absolutely impossible for them to get such treatment as newcomers.
"You are lucky to meet Director Shelley. Cherish the opportunity."
Heimerdinger also said solemnly: "Reflect your value and don't rely on other people's kindness to live your whole life."
"is teacher!"
Among them, Ike’s voice is the loudest.
A long time ago, he had an infinite hatred for those mean and arrogant Picheng people. He had seen many Picheng nobles in Zaun who were worse than the Alchemy Baron, but the appearance of Chai Anping changed his attitude.
Opinion - Well, that’s not right either. Mr. School Director seems to be an outsider?
However, his dislike of this city has indeed been reduced a lot, and the kind-hearted teachers and senior brothers and sisters around him are warm enough.
It made him truly feel the joy of student life.
I must work hard to repay the school director for dragging me out of the quagmire!
The young man's eyes shone with determination.
"Okay... let's continue what we learned this morning and start preparations in the afternoon."
"yes!"
…
The driver held a clean stainless steel plate in his hand, with a nervous smile on his face.
"Good morning, Jinx."
"Is it morning already?"
Jinx stretched out on the narrow operating table and wrapped herself in the quilt that Zach had covered herself with.
Although she is not afraid of the cold, she still prefers a warm bed compared to the cold underground.
"Let me sleep for another five minutes."
"Dear alarm clock, just five minutes!"
Zi Che was thinking of ways to get close to Jinx. It was really hard for him because he had always been pursued by Jenny in the team, and now that his roles had changed, he didn't know what to do...especially since Jinx was still a lunatic who couldn't be judged by common sense.
Five minutes later.
"Jinx, five minutes are up..."
"hold head high?"
Jinx squinted her eyes and poked her head out from under the quilt: "Can't hear you!"
"I mean, five minutes are up."
"I thought it was only a few seconds! Can you turn off your alarm clock?"
"No, I'm not an alarm clock, Jinx, I'm just here to remind you to get up and have breakfast." Zi Che said tactfully.
"Oh! Then you are really a competent waiter. Which hotel am I in now?"
Jinx pouted, then asked tentatively: "Is there fish on the morning menu?"
"Uh-Mr. Zach said he was too lazy to cook fish this morning..."
"How could he do this?!"
Jinx angrily hammered the metal bed board twice, making a clanging sound.
"If you want to eat...I can get it for you." Zi Che's eyes brightened slightly.
"Really? That's great. I promise I'll get up right away if you're done."
"good!"
The car responded in one fell swoop.
Then he persuaded Zach to agree to lend him the kitchen with a few words.
Zach couldn't help but feel a little nervous - should he improve his cooking skills?
But soon he remembered what Jinx had done to him, and angrily threw down his apron and left the kitchen.
"Don't make any large movements, otherwise your wound may open."
"Don't worry, Mr. Zach, I'm measured."
Zi Che smiled slightly. As a bounty hunter who often faced dangers in dangerous places, he had a very clear grasp of his own injuries.
"That's good."
Zach muttered something and left the kitchen.
Ziche rolled up his sleeves. When he was in Ionia, although the place where he was born was not by the sea, after joining the sect, he could often encounter "fish dishes" with his master.
Among them, he especially likes a method that maintains the fresh taste of the fish. Those skilled chefs call it "sashimi". It is a delicious dish that few people have tried in Ionia. In Piltover
, and few people in Zu’an can name this dish.
The soul of sashimi is to use knife skills and dipping sauces to bring out all the freshness of the fish itself. His knife skills are barely passable, but even if they are lacking, they are definitely more exquisite than the industrial cuisine produced in such a bad environment like Zaun.
!
He sliced off the plump fish meat with confidence. Different parts have different requirements for the thickness of the fish meat. Although most of the sashimi does not need to be cooked, he did not compromise on other details.
The treatment of fish meat will directly determine whether the tenderness and deliciousness of a fish can be brought out.
Zi Che took out the ice cubes from the freezer and placed the prepared fish fillets on top. In order to satisfy Jinx's request, he could guarantee that this was the most serious time he had ever put on the plate.
Not even his deceased teacher enjoyed this kind of treatment.
"Jinx~"
"My fish dish is ready!"
Zach heard the sound and came over. He wanted to see if the human he saved was also good at cooking...
"Huh?"
He scratched his head in confusion: "That's it?"
"Mr. Zach, this is the most delicious fish dish in our hometown." Zi Che smiled confidently.
"I really don't understand human taste."
"Would you like to try?"
"Forget it, that's it. If I take another share, Jinx will tear my house apart later."
On the other hand, Jinx could already smell the fish and sat up from the operating table.
"Oh my god, what could be happier than being woken up by a fish so early in the morning... Uh, huh???"
Jinx suddenly pointed angrily at the plate in the car: "Isn't this not cooked yet?"
"Huh? No, Jinx...this is the characteristic of our hometown..."
"Do you know the consequences of coaxing a lady out of bed? You bastard!"
Jinx half-knelt on the operating table, suddenly took out the fish bone grenade launcher from the space equipment, and pointed the ferocious muzzle directly at Zi Che's confused face.
"Hey! Don't fight in my operating room!"
Zach quickly stepped forward and held down Jinx's gun: "Wallis said this is a specialty of their hometown, you should wait until you taste it before... Ahem, in short, this is a good intention from others!"
When Zi Che saw Zach winking at him, he quickly came over and said, "Try...taste it?"
There was a stiff smile on his face. Just now he really felt that Jinx was about to fire.
This madman!
Jinx glanced at Zach and finally decided to give him some face. She picked up the chopsticks and added a thin fish fillet to her mouth.
She frowned and chewed for a while, then stuck out her tongue in disgust.
"vomit!"
The smooth texture and slightly fishy taste of raw meat was completely unacceptable to Jinx, who was eating sashimi for the first time.
"Dip...dip!"
Seeing this, Zi Che quickly pointed to the black juice he had prepared next to the bowl.
Jinx slapped her chopsticks: "This thing has no taste at all, why don't I just drink the sauce!"
…
Excerpt 1 from Zi Che’s diary:
Today I kindly asked Jinx to wake up. Jenny said that she hoped in her dreams that I could fulfill her wish.
But it seems that human happiness is not the same. She didn't react in any way I expected. I hate it so much.
Maybe it's because she didn't see my friendly smile?
She asked me to sleep for five more minutes, and I agreed and woke her up on time.
As a result, she said she couldn't hear her. Was it because I didn't have the energy to speak?
Excerpt 2 from Zi Che’s diary:
I guessed that Jinx likes to eat fish, but unfortunately Jenny was responsible for cooking in the team before, and I am not a qualified cook.
But fortunately, I still remember my teacher’s favorite sashimi. This is the most serious thing I’ve ever made. There was a sect in Ionia that claimed that the intentions contained in the dishes will definitely be received.
They are all liars.
Excerpt 3 from Zi Che’s diary:
I was beaten so hard by Jinx that the sutured wound split open. She is so strong, no wonder she can lift such a big heavy cannon.
The wound hurt, but I don't blame her.
On the contrary, I also want to learn cooking skills from Mr. Zach, because Jinx said the fish he cooked is the most delicious.
