Chapter 1 Good Luck, Mr. Summoner
"Li Ke, this is the last time I warn you."
"If you can't repay the money you owe, then prepare to fight for our blinding gang. I really don't have time to spend any more time with you. Is this the first time I've forgiven you?"
Getting up from the hard wooden bed, Li Ke rubbed his head and looked vaguely ahead, hearing the tall and thin man in front of him still talking.
"It's true that we have been friends since childhood, but money is money and friends are friends."
"That's all I have to say, Li Ke, think about it yourself." The man paused for a moment, and his tone became less sharp, but said somewhat sadly: "Li Ke, the era that once belonged to our dark alleys It’s over, join them. It’s nothing, everyone just wants to survive. The dark alley is no longer a dark alley.”
After the man finished speaking, without waiting for Li Ke's reaction, he turned around and took two steps to open the door, but before leaving, he threw a bag on the table, making a clanging sound.
Li Ke finally came out of his dazed state, rubbed his painful temples, raised his head, and looked at his surroundings in confusion.
The small tin house was only a few square meters in size. Except for a wooden bed, a small table, and a few pieces of clothes placed on it, there was nothing else found in the room.
"Zuan."
"Marson, the Blinding Gang"
The memory gradually became clearer, just like the pain of a migraine dissipated, and Li Ke's mouth gradually opened wide as the memory emerged.
"What a joke!"
"I'm in Zaun? Is Piltover up there? This is Runeterra?!"
Li Ke stood up from the wooden bed with a "swish" and looked down at his hands.
"I, wasn't I just playing Riven at home? How is this possible?"
"Time travel?"
"Did I travel to Runeterra?"
"Did you fucking travel to Zaun?"
Subconscious swear words burst out, and Li Ke could not maintain his emotions.
With the memory absorption completed, Li Ke had a new understanding of the "real Zu'an".
Unlike those who brag and laugh and call me a mother-hunting killer from Zaun on the Internet, Li Ke really can't think of any other adjectives to describe the real Zaun, especially in this period, except danger and chaos. No, maybe it would be good to call it hell?
At least for him, a young man who has received nine years of compulsory education and has all-round development of morality, intelligence and beauty, the life in Zu'an is really not a human life. This is an abyss, an abyss of ten thousand feet, and there are only a few people who fall down. Can climb out.
But soon, Li Ke showed his super adaptability. He first picked up the bag left by Marson, and after opening it, there was a bag of coins inside. The amount was not much, but it was enough for Li Ke to sustain the rest. A few days are needed.
"Marsson"
Li Ke showed a complicated expression.
Thinking of what Marson said before, Li Ke felt a little emotional. The original person still hated Marson as a friend, thinking that he had abandoned his ideals and forgotten Lord Fandel, but in fact, Marson had done a good enough job. Because if it hadn't been for him, Li Ke would have been caught by the guys from the Eye-catching Gang and thrown into the ditch to pick up garbage.
No one would be willing to work as a scavenger in the ditch unless it was absolutely necessary. The wastewater flowing from Piltover filled the underground world of Zaun. The poisonous gas emitted from the wastewater from metal sewage and industrial processing would have been unsafe if there were no protective devices. , so it can kill someone in just a few minutes.
"Huh."
Opening the door, Li Ke walked out of the house. The place where he lived was a large iron frame house, squeezed into an alley with a bunch of shabby houses. He held on to the rusty handrails, not firmly stepping on them with each foot. After walking down the iron ladder that creaked every step of the way, Li Ke walked out of the alley and saw Zu An.
The gray-green haze was pungent and unpleasant, and Li Ke couldn't help but hold his breath. If it weren't for the flashing neon lights, it would be hard for him to see the way ahead clearly in this situation.
Not to mention, the haze also contains tiny metal particles. When the air is sucked into the lungs, there will be an unbearable burning sensation.
How did the Zaun people survive in such an environment? !
Have they all evolved second lungs?
Li Ke couldn't help but think. But what he should be thinking about right now is how to make money. As Marson said, this is the last time. If Li Ke doesn't repay the gang's money, there are only two ways waiting for him, and he will take the initiative to become a ditch scavenger. and became the fragments of lost corpses picked up by ditch scavengers.
Taking a deep breath, time traveler Li Ke tried to find a temporary job in Zaun according to his memory
At night, the streets of Zaun became more and more chaotic. Since the death of Fander in the Black Alley, the entire Black Alley has completely entered a state of madness. Silko took over this place and brought various nightlife cultures to the local area. .
These nightlife cultures have not led the dark alleys in a good direction, but have made them more chaotic. You can see drug addicts on the streets, and you can also see drunk people being thrown out of bars on the roadside. An old drunkard was touched by a group of gangsters. Under the flashing neon sign, a seductively dressed girl shouted loudly at passers-by.
Li Ke walked back to his house through such a street.
There is no need to lock or key, just open the door openly. Locking the door will make it a target for gangsters. Opening the door generously and letting them rummage will cut off their thoughts, anyway. Nothing can be found.
This is Zu An’s life.
Li Ke was lying on the wooden bed, looking dazed.
His ability to adapt is really strong. It only took him less than half a day to accept all this, but even so, Li Ke still felt uneasy.
The identity of the time traveler and knowing part of the future development did not bring him any help. In Zaun, a place where fists and money speak, a place dominated by violence and chaos, it is difficult for wisdom and technology to take root and grow.
Can I really survive in this place?
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
After a whole day's work, Li Ke failed to find a suitable job. There is no stable job in Zaan now. Violence has taken over everything, industry has begun to fall behind, and everything is developing towards the barbaric state.
The timeline he traveled to was the Battle of Two Cities, which was also the timeline of the main world that the designer explicitly stated. He arrived a few years after Fander's death, and Silko officially took over Black Alley and began to take over Zaun. era.
What will happen in the future is a battle between the two cities of Pizu. Anyway, Li Ke remembers that Jinx fired a cannonball at the end of the first season. Needless to say, what awaits Zaun can only be Pizu's crazy revenge.
The revenge from Piltover will only come when Zuan can handle it.
High technology fights against cold weapons, and the rich fight against the poor. Thinking of this, Li Ke really couldn't imagine how Zu An could win this war.
Why don't you just run earlier?
Run to Demacia. If you want to say which country in Runeterra is the best for civilians, it can only be Demacia. The country is strong and will not exploit the people at the bottom. Although there is little room for advancement for civilians, at least there is no room for advancement. Wouldn't he be forced to become cannon fodder and thrown to death on the battlefield?
Li Ke is self-aware. He really doesn't know how he, an ordinary person, can survive in this chaotic world full of dangers by relying on heroic stories and future developments he knows from the Internet.
Thinking about it, Li Ke gradually felt sleepy.
Lying on the bed, Li Ke closed his eyes.
How he wished he could wake up and find that everything he experienced today was a dream.
Fall asleep,
In his sleep, Li Ke vaguely heard some vague sounds.
The sounds grew louder and then clearer.
