Skelley Simonton never imagined that things would be so bad, but in fact...the Simonton family's current situation is worse than being threatened by Chai Anping in the conference room!
Since two months ago, their family's merchant ships have been robbed by pirates from time to time. Except for some ships with strong defenses that returned safely, a lot of other property and goods have been robbed, but these are very important to a company with a long history.
For the oligarchs, it is far from being broken, but the financial resources available for withdrawal are much less.
Later, when they divided the assets of the Hood family, they invested a large amount of cash to acquire real estate. Originally, this must have been a very profitable business...
It's like buying an entire store in a commercial street for 500,000 yuan. That's a special price only for people at the top!
Even so, they frequently lost to the Shelley Chamber of Commerce run by Chai Anping in battles because they could not recover the capital flow.
Of course, this is just a matter of earning more or less, it’s not a big problem.
but--
earthquake.
All the investment was instantly wiped out!
Two-fifths of the workshops suffered varying degrees of damage, and some workshops closer to Zaun all collapsed, causing heavy casualties.
During this time, the Simonton family had an extremely important order to deliver, but the workshop was shut down and repairs required a lot of money. The problem of a broken capital chain suddenly became fatal.
This is why Simonton concealed the news, otherwise their situation would be even worse.
If the local commissioned workshops also start to waste time and raise prices, and other families secretly target them, it will really be a defeat for everyone.
Surrounded by a pack of wolves, Simonton's oligarchic status is in jeopardy. To be honest, Simonton is completely blind to this series of unfavorable circumstances.
Of course, it is not difficult for them to overcome this difficulty, but it depends on how much they are willing to pay!
——Originally, Skree thought that the Demacia Mission would be the best partner.
They have abundant funds and are recognized as the most stupid and easy-to-deceive partners. It doesn't matter if they have troubles in the business. As long as Simond is willing to lower their profile, these arrogant Demacians will think that they have gained glory.
And enthusiastically help you overcome difficulties.
Sincerely, even impatiently.
What's more, they now have astonishing "popularity", or they have become the agents of God Janna. As long as they can cooperate with them, they will have a bright future.
Simonton coveted this "treasure" greedily.
He had never looked down upon the "Hero of Piltover" who was praised by everyone. Even though he had amazing martial arts, what they valued least was the so-called pure warrior.
During the meeting to carve up the Hood family, the top diplomat of the mission remained secretive most of the time. He just smiled and ate the cakes that were fed to his mouth. Simonton knew that these were Philos, Myrdalda and De
The consensus reached by the Marcia Mission.
But now, just when Chai Anping grabbed him from the chair and asked him to look directly into those devilish eyes.
He knew very clearly,
The tiger is out of the cage.
If he had known earlier, he should have agreed to Midalda's secret assistance, even if it required paying a considerable part of the property equity.
…
"I already understand the general situation."
Chai Anping nodded clearly. The problem Simonton mentioned was not difficult to understand. The business level of this place has not yet developed to the level where there were so many advanced economic theories in the original world.
And the way to break the situation is very simple, a lot of money!
"What you need... is an injection of capital."
He looked at Simonton's expression and said word by word.
…
At night, the residents of Zaun held a city-wide begging ceremony to pray for the souls of those who died in the disaster to rest in peace.
A grand and sad dirge echoed throughout the city.
Holding candles in their hands, residents walking through the streets chanted the names of those who died in the disaster, or chanted the title of Feng Nu.
In the square, there were great witches wearing strange costumes and masks performing exaggerated dances.
There are also believers of the Jana Cult who are holding ordinary masses. They take green branches and dip them in the water they have prayed to the gods to clear away bad luck for every household.
The whole city is regaining strength in grief.
After handling the affairs of the Simonton family, Chai Anping returned to Zuan and looked at the city silently.
The blue bird slowly landed on his shoulder: "From now on, this city will always bless you because you saved it."
"God Janna, you praise me too much."
Chai Anping sighed calmly: "They have their own tenacity."
The blue bird chirped twice.
"May you never regret your good deed today."
He turned into a breeze and disappeared into the night sky, as if melting into the lights of thousands of houses.
Chai Anping felt the cool and refreshing night breeze in Zu'an and slowly exhaled.
He felt a new understanding again, but he did not sink into it.
The scenery at this moment is more worth cherishing, isn't it?
After a long time, he jumped off the tall building and prepared to go to Zach's residence.
Fortunately, he had learned about Zach's hiding place from Jinx earlier, otherwise it would have been extremely difficult to find Jinx on his own initiative.
Soon, he came to the entrance of Zach's underground clinic.
“Tuk-tuk!”
He knocked on the iron door.
"Squeak——"
The battered iron door was opened.
"Who...hiss!"
"Boom!"
Zach subconsciously closed the door again, and then remembered that such a broken iron door could not withstand Chai Anping's demolition.
Forced to open a crack in the door, he split out a slime clone and said, "Brother, how did you find my house? Do you want me to get rid of evil too?"
"..."
Chai Anping's lips twitched slightly: "I just want to come and see Jinx."
"Ah...is that so?"
Zach saw that he was indeed not carrying a weapon, his round yellow eyes rolled around a few times, and then he opened the door.
"Her situation is a bit complicated... Well, anyway, please come in first."
"By the way, is that other human being that you and I saw when we first met you still there?" Chai Anping asked.
"Uh...you mean Wallis?"
Zach scratched his head: "The poor guy seemed to be scared by those monsters... Regardless of the seriousness of his injuries, he directly said that he was going back to his hometown. Do you know him?"
"Ahaha...it looks familiar."
Chai Anping laughed, thinking that indeed this guy had escaped.
While he was looking around at Zach's place, he was talking to him about Jinx's situation.
Both of them were attacked by Silas and had a big hole in their chests. If he hadn't seen Jinx's transformation process, Chai Anping would have thought that Jinx couldn't survive it.
However, even if Silas's sneak attack did not kill Jinx, her current state is terrible——
Zach could use body parts to help her repair body tissues, but he was helpless with the replacement metal bones. He did not have the ability to derive that strong alloy on his own.
So this resulted in the loss of bones in Jinx's chest. If it weren't for his help in replenishing some of the organs, Jinx might not be able to survive.
At the same time, due to the loss of her spine, Jinx lost part of the device that controlled her body. Now she is completely paralyzed and unable to move at all.
Moreover, Jinx itself has a high degree of self-healing ability, which greatly makes it more difficult for Zach to treat her, because the new parts of Jinx have always rejected the existence of Zach's body.
Now Zach is hesitating between two treatment options:
One way is to directly replace Jinx with the bones of an ordinary person. Anyway, her body has no immune stress to foreign creations.
The second is to seek help from those alchemy barons. They may be able to help Jinx repair her body, but Zach doesn’t have that much face...
In other words, if the two of them came to visit him, they would be walking into a tiger's mouth.
"Singed has been killed..."
Chai Anping listened to Zach's words and said silently in his heart.
Even if that guy wasn't dead, Chai Anping wouldn't let him touch Jinx again.
The two arrived at the operating room. Jinx was lying on the operating table with a calm expression, her breathing was calm, and the crazy smile was gone from the corner of her mouth.
The image in the fantasy gradually overlapped with Jinx's current appearance, and Chai Anping inexplicably thought of the scene of her reaching out to Ike on the roof.
"I'll check her body..."
"Um???"
"Ahem...I mean, I'm an alchemist!"
Changing his words very quickly to avoid sounding like a filthy pedophile, Chai Anping stretched out a hand and put it on Jinx's forearm.
The magic power of alchemy sneaks in quietly.
"The human body is made..."
Chai Anping frowned and recalled the evil spells he learned in the illusion space. He actually had a solution to Jinx's situation. With the help of alchemy magic, he was even confident of directly refining Jinx's bone in the damaged area.
——But the question is what material should be chosen as Jinx’s new skeleton?
If you want to withstand Jinx's pretentiousness, ordinary materials can't do it...
He analyzed Jinx's intact metal skeleton for a while, and had to admire Singed's alchemy skills in this area.
"Did I ask you not to touch me?" Zach reminded him.
Chai Anping:???
"I can help her reattach her missing bones, but I need to prepare materials."
Ignoring Zach's words, Chai Anping pulled back his hand and said, "It's just because you have been wearing yellow glasses that everything you see is yellow!"
Zach scratched his head: "But my eyes are originally yellow..."
"Look at your slutty body..." Chai Anping patted Zach's slippery chest in disgust.
Zach dared not speak out in anger.
"I'll come back tomorrow after I've prepared everything, and I'll ask you to take care of Jinx in the meantime."
Chai Anping was immersed in his ideas, turned around and prepared to leave directly.
"Hey! Why are you so nice to Jinx? She is a lunatic...!" Zach quickly followed and asked.
"Huh? Ah..."
Chai Anping couldn't help but feel dazed for a moment when he heard this, and then he laughed again: "Basically speaking, maybe they are relatives?"
Cheap ones picked up on the roadside and cultivated, and the kind that failed to be cultivated...
"Wow, cool! ...I mean, it's really unexpected."
Zach was obviously happy to hear that Jinx had family and was not a poor orphan.
——He is the only real orphan?
Ah this...
After Chai Anping returned to the embassy, he immediately went to find Sir William, who was about to go to bed, and began to discuss Jinx's problem.
Sir William looked like he had seen a ghost - why did his grandson suddenly become so accomplished in alchemy?!
A person's professionalism can best be seen during a conversation. The words that come out in a few words may be things that others will never be able to say in their lifetime.
Isn't this possible?
Moreover, the rebellious thoughts in Chai Anping's conversation made him even more frightened.
"Ahem... Gracie, how come you suddenly understand this knowledge?"
"Learn!"
Chai Anping took it for granted and said confidently: "There is a golden book in the book! I have learned a lot!"
Sir William:…
"Wait a minute, I'm going to find those alchemy masters who are temporarily living in Pi City. They know more about alchemy issues in this area..."
In the end, the little old man had to give up the idea of asking Chai Anping and started to help Chai Anping solve the problem.
A group of people were all night owls, and soon five of Zaun's prestigious alchemy barons gathered in a well-maintained private workshop. Most of them were the same age as Sir William, with strange looks and looked full of knowledge.
"Masters, I want to ask you a question..."
Chai Anping spread out the paper he had prepared in advance on the table, recording the information he obtained from Jinx's body.
"Oh, this is an interesting subject!"
"Is it made from a human body? I can't see how promising you are!"
All the seniors with a bit of a strange smell about them suddenly began to comment on this issue.
"I'm so old and blind. How can this be made from the human body? This is obviously a high-performance biological material that can be connected to the metal body..."
"And look at this design...does it have a little bit of Singed's style?"
"One thing to say, one thing to say, it's true."
Several people focused their attention on Chai Anping's face, and Chai Anping smiled as usual: "He is already dead."
Several old men murmured to themselves, right? You were the one who killed him...
Under the guidance of Sir William, the topic of several people quickly returned to how to create such a material.
During their discussion, Chai Anping's inner thoughts became clearer.
The path that the masters thought was unfeasible was not possible for him, because with the assistance of alchemical magic, he could achieve the real miracle in alchemy.
People who have read books have more confidence.
The plan was quickly determined by several masters, and the next step was how to implement it and the selection of materials.
"This is where the real hard part starts... everyone!"
"oh?!"
Several people who originally thought that the problem was almost solved raised their heads one after another, with a hint of curiosity in their eyes.
Chai Anping took a deep breath, and then took out Acheron's finger bones from the storage space.
He had previously sealed it in an expensive glass jar with excellent sealing properties and a pattern of suppression circles.
Once the finger bone was taken out, the eyes of an alchemist almost glowed green like a wolf.
Excellent alchemical material!
"This...this is?!"
A short old man with a beard pulled down to his chest said in shock: "Unheard of, unseen!"
"This is...the finger bone of the evil god who invaded Zu'an today."
Chai Anping shook the jar in his hand. The evil energy in the jar was extremely shocking, almost as solid as substance. If it weren't for the high-level formations that trapped it, he would be the only one present who could bear this evil energy.
He introduced the origin and usage characteristics of this phalange, and the breathing of the people around him suddenly became heavy.
"Everyone, what I need your help is how to integrate an evil god's finger into a mortal body without any trouble... Is this topic exciting enough?"
"That's enough!"
The old man with a very long beard took out a needle from his arms and inserted an injection into his thigh.
"I used the enlightenment potion! No one wants me to quit this research!"
The wisdom potion is a precious potion that greatly stimulates brain cells in a short period of time, making you energetic and quick-thinking. It is the final version of the energy potion.
Everyone present looked at each other, saw each other's "blasphemous" evil thoughts, and smiled knowingly.
"Let's do it!"
"Those idiots who are rushing back to their territory to control their subordinates may regret it in the future! Haha!"
A part of the true god, that is a rare item that most people will never see in their lifetime, let alone a top-quality item like Chai Anping's?
Seeing this scene, Chai Anping couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
This was the bold idea he had after checking Jinx's injuries!
Of course, he was not sure whether it would succeed in the end.
"Everything is easy to change...isn't it more suitable to be a landlubber?"
He thought with a smile, and in this room, his alchemical heart was running at full strength, absorbing the fierce disputes and ideas of several alchemist masters.
Even Sir William couldn't help but join in the discussion - he was unprepared for Chai Anping suddenly taking out Acheron's finger bone, but he had a completely new understanding of his grandson's prodigality.
Nowadays, the mainstream idea among masters is to refine a bottle of alchemy potion, and by taking it, the power of the potion will automatically take effect on the wound. However, Chai Anping has a different view. The finger bones contain amazing power and evil spirits. If it is refined into
Potion may not be able to remove the evil thoughts and strangeness it possesses.
Just like [Thunder] made with world runes, the chance of people going crazy after drinking it is 99%!
——The fanatics from Zaun obviously will not consider this issue.
Because this problem could not be solved, Chai Anping, the real owner of the phalanges, obviously would not let the plan pass, so everyone tacitly changed the plan, that is -
Implantation!
"I have an idea about this... I hope you can help me correct it!"
Chai Anping stood up and said.
"Say it, genius boy! Humph, alchemy is such a bitch. I worked so hard but couldn't get a talent like yours!"
Chai Anping smiled at the old man who spoke freely, and then said:
“I want to complete the refining of the material inside the patient’s body and connect it directly to the fracture.
I...can complete the inhuman fantasy in "Hermtic Fantasy"!"
