Chapter 16: Damn
"Lin Wen, have you undergone alchemical transformation on your body? Your strength, speed, and explosive power are far beyond that of ordinary people. It is impossible for a normal person to fly six meters while holding a grown man like you."
On the way to the college, Victor lay on Lin Wen's back and couldn't help but ask.
Jayce was pulled far away behind him. Lin Wen followed the direction indicated by Victor and carried him on his back at such a fast speed that he left an afterimage.
"No, Zhuolang doesn't allow me to perform alchemical transformation. He thinks it is very dangerous and that the human body does not need to be transformed." Lin Wen said with a smile.
"That sounds like something Zhuolan would say." Victor nodded and smiled, but his eyes were a little gloomy.
A good body does not need to be transformed, but what about a bad body?
"But Zhuolang also said that alchemical science is a discipline that Zaun must develop. He believes that all Zaun people will undergo alchemical transformation in the future. From recent developments, the amount of wastewater discharged from the upper city to the ground is increasing, and Zaun's processed products are also increasing. Alchemical technology is a discipline that can transform the lives of Zaun people."
"It not only bears the economic burden of Zaun's future, it also determines whether the people of Zaun can still live in Zaun, so alchemy is of vital importance."
Victor hummed softly and put his hands on Lin Wen's shoulders. He raised his face slightly and felt the wind blowing across his cheeks. This was a speed he had never felt before.
He was somewhat envious of Lin Wen.
Because he had never run like this before.
Being able to run like this is a very happy thing.
"What about you? Lin Wen, what do you think?"
Lin Wen paused, thought for a moment, and raised his hand so that Victor could hang on his back more securely. Then he said, "Of course I support Lao Zhuolang's opinion."
"You don't mind human body modification?"
Lin Wen paused, thought for a moment, and raised his hand so that Victor could hang on his back more securely. Then he said, "Of course I support Lao Zhuolang's opinion."
"You don't mind human body modification?"
"Me? Victor, I certainly don't reject human body modification. Although I probably won't do it, I think that if a person is born with defects, then modification is not heresy, but a form of evolution."
"Evolution?" Victor's eyes lit up slightly.
The grayness that had appeared earlier seemed to disappear with the appearance of the word "evolution".
These two words seemed to hit upon something deep in Victor's heart.
"Victor, if it is evolution, then it is glorious."
Lin Wen certainly knew what Victor was thinking.
After all, the mechanical pioneer Victor, who seems to be a villain boss in the background story, is not actually the case.
Victor is not a villain.
On the contrary, he, like Ekko, is the future of Zaun, except that Ekko is orthodox and Viktor is a little biased.
In other words, Victor is an extremist.
Victor advocated an extreme theory of flesh and blood suffering and mechanical ascension, which laid the foundation for Victor's lifelong creed - using technological means to reduce human defects, which he called - glorious evolution.
But how should I put it? This matter concerns human nature and divinity. Lin Wen actually doesn't want to know too much about it.
Victor's philosophy is actually a bit extreme for Lin Wen, but fortunately Victor does not force others to transform. He only helps those in need to transform. Especially during the time when Zaun was contaminated by poison, Victor even created something to teach.
That's why Lin Wen said this.
By speaking in a way that caters to Victor's preferences, Lin Wen also gained corresponding benefits.
Ding: "Mechanical Pioneer" agrees with what you say and he becomes more and more interested in you.
Ding: The "Mechanical Pioneer"'s favorability towards you has increased.
Ding: Please keep up the good work.
Although the card was not activated, this is normal.
After all, if the cards were so easy to activate, Lin Wen wouldn't have taken five years to activate only four cards.
"You're right. Thank you."
After sneaking into the academy, Lin Wen put Victor down, and Victor suddenly said.
"Uh, did I say something weird?"
Lin Wen winked at Victor.
The latter smiled gently, patted Lin Wen on the shoulder, then handed the crutch to Lin Wen and took out the key to start looking for it.
"Of course not, that's not surprising at all."
By the time Jace showed up, it was already a few minutes later.
Mr. Tallis was sweating profusely as he ran. He took off his coat, revealing a black T-shirt underneath. His muscular body was stained with sweat, which shone greasy under the flashlight.
He's in really good shape.
"How can you be so fast?"
The first thing Jace asked when he arrived was to Lin Wen.
"Are you still human?"
"My situation is rather special." Lin Wen shrugged and said indifferently.
"Okay, let's go in." Victor tried key after key and opened the door.
Lin Wen was the second one to enter, and Victor was the last one.
He closed the door carefully and looked at Jace.
"I can experiment with you. I've read your information and you've almost perfected it, right?"
Jace nodded. "But the last step is very difficult to stabilize. It's hard to find a fixed point for the Hextech crystal. I have tried various methods, but the outer layer is always too fragile."
Jace found a box and took a stand; these were his things.
There were a few remaining Hextech crystals in the box. Lin Wen took a look and immediately turned his head away.
It was a good thing that Baobao didn't take all of it. If he had, he would not be able to see Viktor and Jayce's experiments now.
Jayce took out one and handed it to Victor. Jayce said, "Its interior is extremely dense, but its outer layer is fragile. It must be stabilized with the equipment I made, otherwise the vibration will float in the air. Because of this, how to control the conduction of electric current becomes a big problem."
Lin Wen was totally confused after hearing this.
"I see. What about the vibration now?"
Victor said, "You have tried hundreds of ways to connect those strange inscription fragments. I think this one is more feasible. Jayce, look, if you connect it with it first, and then connect it with it."
The clash between the two peerless geniuses made Lin Wen, a pseudo-genius, extremely embarrassed.
No wonder Zhuolang dislikes him.
Lin Wen now even dislikes himself.
Did you think you were a mechanical genius
? Genius? Stupid dog!
Lin Wen originally thought he could understand, after all, Ike had done homework for him in advance, but now it seems that Renjies has already perfected and found solutions to all the things Ike had thought of overnight.
As Viktor said, Jayce's research on Hextech crystals has been perfected to the last detail.
The only thing he was missing was the last step, which was how to make the gem vibrate stably while not destroying its internal structure.
"Come on. Let's try it together."
Victor and Jace completely ignored Lin Wen. They walked to the experimental equipment, looked at each other, and Jace placed the crystal on it.
The prismatic sphere was pressed up, Jace's hand pressed on the electric current device, and Victor nodded to him.
"You concentrate on controlling it, and I'll help you observe."
Jace nodded as well.
Looking at the two people who were getting into the mood, Lin Wen stood aside in a daze.
Lin Wen:
What about me?
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
What should I do now?
After half an hour, footsteps were suddenly heard outside the house. The footsteps were fast and tight.
Victor was nervous, "It's the professor's footsteps."
Looking at Jace, he said, "It's okay, don't panic."
Jess also raised his head and said, "The more you say that, the more panicked I get!"
"Jace, don't panic."
Lin Wen found a job, and immediately raised his hand and said, "You guys concentrate on your research, I'll hold the door. As long as they don't use a battering ram, no one can push it open, don't worry."
Walking to the door, Lin Wen held it with one hand, put the other hand to his ear, and waved it casually at Jace and Victor.
At this time, he is still playing it cool!
Jace remembered the wink.
The two of them calmed down immediately.
Yes.
Lin Wenzai, this guy can hold the door.
"It doesn't matter if I can hold it up all day, just keep going."
Jace nodded, "Thank you."
"Boom!"
The sound of someone knocking on the door was heard, but Victor and Jayce ignored the sound. Jayce grabbed the button, shaking his wrist, and adjusted the direction of the current, while Victor stood beside him, helping Jayce to check whether the direction of the current was correct.
Lin Wen held the door easily.
"Hey, open the door! Open the door!"
"Boom boom boom!"
The sound of banging on the door became more and more urgent, accompanied by a sharp voice: "Jace, stop your ridiculous behavior right now! You still have time to open the door!"
"Open the door!"
"Don't be afraid, don't listen to him, I'm here." Lin Wen whistled.
Holding the bolt with one hand, Lin Wenwen really didn't move it at all.
Neither Jace nor Victor said anything, and they didn't even look at Lin Wen.
Jace even closed his eyes.
At this moment, the scene from more than ten years ago seemed to reappear before his eyes.
On the snowy mountain, the heavy snow covered his body, and the young boy stayed beside his mother, crying helplessly.
Blue light strange runes.
A staff that waved the wind and snow.
And a blue gem he left behind.
Jace took a deep breath, opened his eyes, and stopped hesitating.
In the slightly cracked Hextech crystal in front of him, strange characters appeared one after another, including moonlight shapes, stars, and some strange patterns.
It was just like the scene on the mountain more than ten years ago.
Jace pushed the button with his hand, and the last current was about to be unblocked.
Then his eyes widened.
The crystal that had been vibrating violently returned to calm, but suddenly a strong blue light appeared.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, Lin Wen's hand trembled and the whole person flew up weakly.
The door was pushed open, and the two law enforcement officers who had just entered were confused at first, and then they looked at the scene in front of them in horror.
It was as if the sky had descended into the house, and they saw the starry sky, a blue, flowing Milky Way sky.
Victor and Jayce flew up to an incredible height, floating at the top of the sky.
"Excuse me, be careful, don't step on me!"
The sharp sound rang out again, and a yellow furry guy appeared from under the two law enforcement officers.
"Uh this!"
Heimerdinger's big white beard moved, and he looked at the scene in surprise.
There were three boys flying in the sky, as well as books, instruments, small metal rings, and the "blue sky" above their heads.
This is the power of the arcane.
Then, Heimerdinger heard a surprised voice:
"Fuck! Science Poppy!"
