Chapter 126 Jinx's New Home

A moment later, Levi's "private plane" slowly arrived at the scene.

Levi, president of the Leader Association, stepped onto the ground. Lina, captain of the second Zaun investigation team sent by the Leader, and Zaun people such as Zack and Jinx came forward to greet him.

At the meeting ceremony, Zaun people, on behalf of the Zaun family, shook hands cordially with Levi, expressed their sincere gratitude to the leader for his selfless assistance, and extended a warm welcome to President Levi who came to support them.

Li Wei learned about Zach's family situation in detail, listened to the specific difficulties faced by Zach's family, and actively responded based on the actual situation to ensure that every issue raised by the masses had a solution and every matter had a response.

Levi pointed out that I have always been concerned about Zaun and miss Zaun. My heart and the heart of the Wind Leader Association are always with the people of Zaun. In the future, the Wind Leader Association will work hand in hand with the people of Zaun to destroy the comprador ruling group represented by the alchemist barons such as Takeda Saito, who have oppressed the people of Zaun for two hundred years.

At the same time, Li Wei emphasized that if you plan ahead, you will succeed; if you don't, you will fail.

It is easy to overthrow a Takeda Saito, but it is difficult to change the soil in which Takeda Saito emerged.

Our current guns are not strong enough, our purse is not heavy enough, and there are far from enough grassroots cadres who can balance theory and practice and are capable of undertaking the task of social transformation.

We must adhere to the principle of seeking truth from facts, adhere to the short-term strategy of "non-violent non-cooperation", focus on development and supplement it with struggle, focus on accumulating strength for struggle in development and cultivating a team of cadres in struggle.

Finally, on behalf of all his colleagues in the Leaders Association, Levi expressed his sincere gratitude and warm welcome to the "Gutter Orphan Jessica", "Bio-Demon Zack" and their families who volunteered to join the Leaders.

Li Wei pointed out that the victory of the struggle depends on talents, and the development of Zaun depends on talents. At present, Zaun is closer to achieving the grand goal of national independence and people being masters of their own country than at any time in history, and it is more eager for talents than at any time in history.

The addition of combat/technological talents such as Jessica, Zach, and their parents is in line with the basic development strategy of Leader and Zaun to strengthen the association and the city with talents...

…

In short, Levi packed up Lina, Zach and others and took them back to Piltover.

Including Jinx.

Yes, he didn't recognize this "gutter orphan Jessica" at all. In fact, she was the [Crazy Loli Jinx] he had played many times before.

Because the image and temperament of the two are so different.

In Levi's impression, Jinx had blue hair with twin ponytails, and wore a small vest and large shorts all day long.

But this "Jessica" wore a quiet thick braid and wrapped herself tightly in a set of gray old work clothes.

Jinx's signature weapons are the machine gun and the bazooka.

But what Jessica was holding in her arms was a double-barreled shotgun. At first glance, she looked like the outlaw Zu Anfen.

Jinx has an unbridled and flamboyant personality, like a firework that can explode with brilliant light at any time.

Jessica, however, was like a little girl who lacked love. From the moment Levi met her, she stuck to her "Sister Lina" like a follower.

So, Levi didn't recognize her as Jinx.

He did not conduct too much background check on the little girl who claimed to be an orphan from the gutter, and did not suspect that she was an undercover agent.

Because leaders are never afraid of undercover agents.

Undercover agents usually have no faith, or only have shallow faith. And those with shallow faith can only join the Wind Chasers Association, which is a peripheral organization, and have no access to the core intelligence of the Wind Leaders.

By the time they are qualified to join the Leaders and have access to core intelligence, these people have already become devout believers and it is impossible for them to work undercover for the enemy.

Therefore, compared to this "ordinary" Zaun girl, Levi is more concerned about the family of [Bio-Demon Zac] that he is familiar with.

As for Jinx, he didn't take it too seriously and just asked Lina to help take care of her.

"Jessica, come with me—"

Lina took Jinx to a simple identity registration, and then, like a tour guide, took the little girl around the Zaun community where she lived.

"Not far ahead is the dormitory building of our Leaders Association. Your identity registration has been approved, and in theory you are also eligible to be assigned your own temporary dormitory."

"However, our housing resources are still quite tight at the moment..."

After taking over the Iron Fist Gang's territory, the Leader discovered that the territory of the Zaun community belonged to the Iron Fist Gang, but the land did not belong to these little scoundrels.

The land and buildings in the Zaun community are basically the assets of the local people of Piltover.

Almost every inch of land and every brick here is controlled by local landlords of Piltover, big and small, like Levi's former landlord Mr. Bill.

The Windleader needs to keep a low profile and develop now, and of course it is not a good idea to use any violent means against these rich people in Piltover.

They could only send out a negotiation team of three, consisting of Wei, Caitlyn, and Seraphine, and through the method of "non-violent non-cooperation", try to lower the rent that the landlord demanded from the leader.

But even so, we have to provide dormitories for thousands of beggars, bonded laborers, and vagrants who originally had no place to live and slept on the streets, under bridges, in large bunk beds, and in "Hoover huts"...

For today's leaders, it is still a huge and unaffordable expense.

"So currently, it is quite common for our staff to live in shared or mixed rooms. Everyone lives in double, quadruple, or even six-person rooms."

This is actually much better than the 30-person bunk beds that Zaun workers used to sleep in.

Compared with the garbage dump where the orphans in the gutter sleep, it can be considered a luxury villa or a private garden.

When ordinary Zaun orphans come here and hear that there are free dormitories to stay in, they will just open their eyes wide with joy.

But Lina still asked politely: “Jessica, should you be able to accept having roommates?”

"Huh?" Jinx really couldn't accept it.

She had never lived with anyone except Wei.

As for roommates and stuff...it's annoying just thinking about it.

Jinx is not used to living in a group.

"If you can accept that, then come live with me." Lina said, "I just happen to be in need of a roommate."

Jinx immediately responded, "Okay."

After she answered, she realized something was wrong: "Sister Lina... do you live in the dormitory too?"

"Yeah." Lina nodded: "What's wrong?"

"Aren't you President Levi's sister?" When Jinx met Levi just now, she already knew that Lina was actually the president's biological sister.

"The president's sister also lives in the dormitory?" This is something that breaks common sense and is unacceptable in Piltover, Zaun, or anywhere else in Runeterra.

"Haha, this is normal here." Lina laughed: "Don't talk about me, my brother also still lives in the dormitory."

Now the only ones living in the villa among the leaders are Mel, Caitlin, and Seraphine's family.

As a veteran of the organization, Mr. Irwin donated most of his property to the leader's cause. Of course, the leader was embarrassed to confiscate his house.

Seraphine herself is not only an extraordinary mage with outstanding effects, but also a celebrity idol who has created countless profits for the leader.

Given her tremendous contribution to the Guild of Leaders, she could afford to live in a villa in Piltover and drive a luxury car just with the allowances and rewards.

"My brother said that leading cadres can live better than the masses, but not too much better."

"We must live in a place that is closest to the masses and understand the daily lives of the grassroots people. Only in this way can we avoid losing touch with reality and gradually become the kind of idiots who think 'why not eat cake?'"

“This…” This sounded like a fairy tale to Jinx.

"Who is willing to be the leader then?"

I lived in the dormitory before I became an official, and I still live in the dormitory after I became an official. Then, didn’t I serve as an official in vain?

"When you become a formal leader, you will understand." Lina said, "We are all people of faith. We have greater pursuits."

"Besides, our treatment is just not so high that it is out of touch with the masses, but it is not low, bad or poor."

"Like me - with the dual allowances of a Hextech Mechanical Engineer and a Survey Team Leader, I can be considered a wealthy man compared to most people in Piltover."

As she spoke, Lina proudly shook her bulging purse.

That's a lot of money indeed.

In Piltover, you can be considered middle class.

But in Jinx's opinion, this amount of money is still pitifully little for Lina, the president's sister and the "eldest princess" of the leader.

The pocket money that Hilco usually gave her was more than this.

"Your brother is so mean." Jinx was a little indignant: "He doesn't care about his sister at all."

"No." Lina said , "My brother loves me very much."

"I love you, why don't I let you live in a better place?" Jinx complained: "He is the president! If he just slips some money from his fingers, it's enough for his family to live in a villa!"

He suffers for his career and makes his family suffer as well... In Jinx's opinion, Levi is a hypocritical and heartless guy.

But Kelina said: "My brother is not heartless, he is a man of great love. He loves his family and everyone."

"And I, and we leaders, are all such people."

"Jessica, do you understand?"

Of course Jinx couldn't understand.

This state is still too far away and too unreal for her.

Lina had to use another more understandable statement:

"Love doesn't necessarily have to be expressed in material things. What I want is a home, not a villa called home."

"Like now, Jessica—"

"Will you hate me because I can't give you a villa and can only let you live in the dormitory with me?"

“Of course not,” Jinx said.

"Okay then." Lina smiled warmly at her: "Let's go, it's time for us to go home."
