Chapter 103 New Year, Zu An’s birthday
When Li Ke returned home, Jinx was tinkering with weapons with Isa.
Little Isa cleverly made a grenade that looked like a Jinx series grenade. It had a round body and a mouth on the top. The sharp-toothed iron plate was painted with various colors, making it look like a little monster toy with an open mouth.
But this thing is really not a toy. The explosion range of the grenade made by Isa is at least five meters, not to mention the shrapnel and marbles in the grenade. In other words, in a densely populated area, Isa put this It's not a problem to throw the thing out and easily kill or injure twenty or so people.
However, Isa has not yet been able to grasp the essence of the Fire Chewer grenade.
After all, the grenade made by Jinx is not only charged with electricity, but also has an adsorption effect, which means that if the grenade is thrown, people nearby will be hit by the electric current, paralyzing the body, and unable to escape the explosion range.
But it's not surprising that Zaun has produced a Jinx after so many years, using a bunch of garbage to create a weapon that can fight against the people in the city. Her talent and talent are beyond doubt.
"Li Ke, Wei said you found me a mother."
As soon as Li Ke made some noise, Jinx looked at him and immediately came to him with her hands on her hips and said.
"What? Looking for mother?" Li Ke was stunned after hearing this. What is this? When did I go to find Jinx's mother?
"Vi said that you and Hilko brought a middle-aged woman to the parliament building, and that woman was still living in Hilko's office." Jinx blinked at Li Ke and continued: "She has a long How is it? Does it look good? Hey, Hilko hasn’t found a woman for so many years. I thought he was like Wei.”
After reconciling with Wei, Jinx opened the door to a new world. Only then did she realize that this world is not only for men and women, but also for women. What about men and women?
Because of this, Jinx was worried about Hilko's situation. After all, it was abnormal!
But looking at it now, Hilko is not an abnormal person.
"What are you thinking? Do you believe whatever Vi says?" Li Ke was amused. He stretched out his hand and pushed Jinx on the forehead. He walked into Isa's room and knelt down to look at the grenade she made.
Isa took the initiative to raise her hand and handed the grenade to Li Ke, with a face that said - Compliment me quickly.
Li Ke took the grenade and stretched out his hand to ruffle Isa's hair with a smile.
Jinx ran over to ask about Hilko.
Then, Li Ke told Jinx that Lenata was here to make money for Zaun and told Jinx about the woman.
Xiao Jin's main focus is on one-handedness. He listens carefully to everything Li Ke says, and everything he says is interesting, and the emotional value is directly filled.

In mid-November, Li Ke, Victor, and Jess came to an abandoned mine in Zaun. They went deep into the mine and hid the Hex Core in a metal box.
Jace came out and thought that it would be safe to build another iron gate and seal the place, but both Li Ke and Victor rejected his proposal.
There is a gorgeous door outside the abandoned mine. Doesn't that tell others that there is something inside?
Although Zaun is getting better, most people have really not given up on the traditional craft of stealing and robbing. Haven't you seen that Wei is still leading a team around Zaun every day?
Therefore, it is best to just leave it alone.
Besides, Li Ke stuffed the iron box into the stone with one fist, and then grabbed a few more stones to top it up. There was no reason for him to be discovered.
There will be no problem if Wei asks a few people to patrol this place later.
Time passed, and it soon came to December. Lenata had been working in the parliament building for more than half a month. During this half month, she published several plans for Zaun's future business direction, including Three of them were implemented with Hilko's approval.
They are - to promote alchemical technology, to get rid of the scary and ugly nature of alchemical technology, and to get rid of Mrs. Piltover's inherent impression of alchemical technology - a word that exudes rust and decay.
Lenata wants to make alchemy technology equally elegant and charming, so as to make profits in the hands of the rich Piltover people. In Lenata's eyes, Zaun's alchemy is no worse than Hextech, especially alchemy. Potions, when used well, can bring people mental pleasure, heal injuries and other effects. The point is that alchemy potions are not expensive to make, but the price is.
The second suggestion was that Lenata believed that Zaun needed to use the Gate of the Sun to establish diplomatic relations with the big countries in Valoran, and bring several Piltover businessmen along with them, so that the big countries would no longer only know Piltover. We also know the reputation of Zaun. Zaun is rich in mineral resources. These are scarce resources that can be sold to countries at war at high prices.
The third proposal was that Lenata proposed to reform the mining industry and the factory, removing some of the strict rules of the Gorask factory, instead of the traditional and conservative rules of Zaun.
Silko also paid more attention to Lenata. Her appearance accelerated the industrialization of Zaun.
She does have half a grasp on her family's alchemy, but she taught herself the art of alchemy
This ability is exactly what Zu An needs most.
In front of Piltover Hex's flying door, Mel looked at Ambesa, who was accompanied by only two or three people, and said calmly: "Mother, don't come to Piltover again, you are not welcome here."
Ambersa didn't speak, but looked at Mel with complicated eyes, feeling complicated emotions about Mel's behavior of saving her.
Will you be moved? Of course it will. As a mother, it is impossible not to be touched by the help from her daughter.
However, Ambesa hated Mel more than anything.
After entering the Hex Flying Gate, Ambessa sighed as she looked at the figure of Mel turning away below.
"Still too soft-hearted"
As she spoke, the corners of her mouth raised.
In Zaun, at the end of the year, a new community appeared in the ditch zone, just above the Yinghuo community.
The construction of this community was a big project. It took a full month to clear the land of the formerly abandoned garbage dump, and a brand new air purifier was placed in the middle square of the community. The new air devices reduce noise, reduce efficiency and reduce energy consumption, but they are already the fourth generation of air purification devices, and their energy efficiency is fully sufficient to maintain the air quality of this community. It may not be as good as the desired community, but here , when I go out and breathe at night, my lungs feel cool and refreshing.
The cold air scraped at the throat and lungs like a knife, as if it was expelling all the toxins in the lungs that had been polluted by the air.
The name of this community is Xinsheng. It is the first community funded by the Zaun Council after the founding of Zaun. It is also inhabited by workers who originally lived on the docks of Zaun.
December 25th, today, it snowed in Zuan!
Although there were only tiny snowflakes, it made Jinx and Isa happy.
"It's snowing! Li Ke, it's snowing!"
It is difficult for Zuan to see Snow. Jinx is so big. This is the second time she has seen Snow.
Naturally, it was the first time for little Isha to see snow, so she ran outside the house stupidly. She stood in the snow, imitating her sister's actions, opening her mouth and sticking out her little tongue to lick the falling snowflakes.
There was a piece on the tip of Jinx's tongue, which instantly turned into ice water, and she swallowed it subconsciously. Then, her little face wrinkled into a ball, and she began to spit on the ground, "Bah, bah, bah, no. Delicious! ”
"You're stupid. The snowflakes falling from above are somewhat polluted and have a metallic taste." Li Ke looked at Jinx's bun face in a funny way and stepped forward to put his hat on her.
The blue cat-eared hat covered Jinx's little face. She raised her hands to hold the hat and looked up. Above it was Piltover.

Since the past few days, Piltover has been preparing for Evolution Day. Many foreign tourists have come to Piltover in advance to prepare for Piltover's annual grand festival.
The road was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and the family crests of various big families were placed as badges on the commercial streets. A large number of businessmen came to the Zodiac basement. They deposited money into the bank early to avoid carrying large and small bags. Money is hard work.
"Li Ke, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and I'm going to blow up the fireworks this year!" Jinx suddenly grabbed Li Ke's hand and said seriously.
She had set off fireworks on Evolution Day before, but she was the only one who would celebrate.
Because Evolution Day is a festival for the people of Piltover and a pain for the people of Zaun.
No one would accompany Jinx to join in the excitement on those lively days, not even Hilko. Hilko was always bored during evolution days, sitting alone in the office all night. The mood is very bad every year on Evolution Day, and Jinx doesn't dare to disturb him at that time.
And everyone would huddle in the room, drinking wine, and then listening to the noise coming from the splendid city above the gorge.
But this year is different, because in this year, Jinx met Li Ke.
There will definitely be someone to spend the Evolution Day with her this year!
Evolution Day should belong to Zaun!
"Okay, what kind of fireworks do you want to set off?"
"I'll make it myself! I'll make a big firework that can overshadow Piltover's Evolution Day. I'll set it off when they set off fireworks to scare them to death!"
"What else?" Li Ke asked Jinx.
"More?" Jinx was stunned.
"We also want to celebrate, Jinx. This is the first New Year after Zaun's rebirth. We want to celebrate it grandly. This is also the time for us to prove to Piltover that we can live a better life without them." Li Keyong Said in a matter-of-fact tone.
Just two days ago, Li Ke announced a festival event to celebrate Evolution Day at the conference building in Zaun.
The members of Zaun's council unanimously approved it, and even Jess, a temporary member of Parliament, participated in the meeting and expressed his approval.
It has been more than a month in Zaun. Jace has not lost weight. Instead, he hangs out with Ike. He will go to the bar to drink after work every day. Moreover, Councilor Tallis has become a little slovenly and no longer cares about personal image. , which makes his beard grow a little scary recently.
Hilko agreed with holding the festival, but thought that the name of the festival was inappropriate, so he changed the name to - New Year's Day.
Piltover celebrates their evolution day, and Zaun celebrates his new birthday!
"Would that be fun?!" Jinx's eyes were bright.
Li Ke smiled, lowered his head and grabbed a thin piece of snow, mixed it with soil and patted it on Jinx's cheek, "I promise!"
"Ah! Li Ke!"
"Don't run away!" Jinx's cold body trembled, she screamed and lowered her head to dig in the snow.
Li Ke quickly turned around and ran away, shouting at the same time:
"Don't mix rocks into the snow! Jinx, you don't have snowball fights like that!"
"I don't care! It won't hurt if I hit you anyway!"
Jinx held up a large rock, as big as two people's fists, with a little unmelted snow on it. What the hell did she call this a snowball?
Isa looked at the giggles and was so happy that she also bent down and started to make snowballs. Then she held two irregular "snowballs" covered with soil, one in each hand, and chased after Li Ke and Jinx.
This year, Zaun is sure to be lively.
