Chapter 341: Bluff
"Hmm? I don't quite understand, but the specific job is to let me increase the voltage and power generation of this power plant?"
Viktor was leaning on a cane, looking at a letter of authorization sent to him by his teacher Heimerdinger.
As a relatively well-known and cheap inventor, he still had a lot of job opportunities in Piltover, especially since his teacher Heimerdinger took a liking to him.
"Yes, this city has a somewhat rude but kind manager. He wants to use technology to increase his power, so he needs a lot of energy. But what makes me very happy is that he did not choose to plunder, but to build."
Heimerdinger nodded. He had a pretty good impression of Li Ke. He did not let an outsider guide an insider. After taking over Piltover, he did not carry out any massacres, nor did he seek too much benefit for himself. He just wanted ordinary civilians to live better.
Now that they are craving for power, they just build power plants themselves instead of going out to plunder. This really makes this old guy, who is used to seeing the life and death of people in Rune Continent, feel relieved.
"Well, it sounds like I'm going to be working for a tyrant."
Viktor also remembered the name that was constantly mentioned in the undercurrent, the name that has now basically become a taboo in Piltover's upper class society.
"Whether a person is cruel or not is not determined by his reputation, but by what he has done, Viktor. Just like in Zaun, when everyone thought there was no hope, there were still children like you."
Heimerdinger looked at Viktor, with pity and a hint of expectation in his eyes.
He had seen such people countless times in his life. Such people were talented and intelligent, and could easily do things that others could not do.
But unfortunately, such people often don’t have very good luck, and the more they burn their talents and make themselves dazzling, the shorter their life will be.
People are always chasing after such shooting stars, longing for their talents and praising their achievements, but life is life, and a young and talented life should not end like this.
So, after Heimerdinger received the commission from Lady Giraman, the first person he thought of was his student.
Although he had never met Li Ke, he could be sure at a glance that Li Ke was the kind of person who could constantly stir up the situation, a person that exists in every era.
The longer such people remain silent, the bigger the storm they will stir up. Once this kind of guy has no worries, the whole world will become his playground.
However, there is one advantage of such people: they can change the fate of countless people around them.
He, like everyone else in Piltover, originally wanted to drive Li Ke away, but after meeting Li Ke, he felt sorry that Li Ke was not born at the age when he was most ambitious.
He is a bit conservative now, but after thinking for a long time, he decided to change other strategies and believe in Li Ke, this guy who is stirring up the situation. Although he himself will not participate in it, he can let his students join in.
He himself left the academy as a pure land for his students.
"Don't say that, teacher. I can't bear such praise."
Viktor lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly. Although he was Heimerdinger's student, it was actually this teacher who had been taking care of him all along. His disability was not a good trait, not to mention his illnesses .
"Of course you can afford it. Compared to those thugs who are causing chaos in Zaun, your path is actually the most correct. Helping Zaun develop is the right path for Zaun to get rid of discrimination. It's a pity that they can't see this."
Heimerdinger looked at Viktor and a somewhat funny smile appeared on his face.
"I think you can discuss this with our city lord before the project begins. After all, our real city lord is Lady Jiraman."
Heimerdinger stated a fact, and everyone was satisfied that Li Ke would not intervene. After all, Giraman was still one of their own.
Heimerdinger didn't think so much, he just thought Li Ke was very respectful.
"Talk to him?"
Victor didn't quite understand. This mission was just a simple one. Although the reward was high, he didn't think it was anything special.
I didn't quite understand why my teacher insisted that I talk to the Ionian named Li Ke.
"Yes, I think it would be good for you to talk to him."
Heimerdinger jumped off the chair, walked to Viktor's side, and gently touched his disabled leg.
"Go ahead, maybe you have another surprise."
…
Victor felt that maybe his teacher was just like what others said, and his mind was a little confused because of his old age.
He looked at the somewhat shabby but still clean small power station in front of him and couldn't help but complain in his heart.
What a surprise, but all he saw here was a backward power station.
Putting aside other things, the layout here alone is extremely frustrating. The location of the generator set is quite poorly set, the generators completely interfere with each other, and the connection of the output ports is also a big problem. If it weren't for the insufficient power here, then there would be a 'bang' and countless sparks would burst out, and then it would be over.
The most hateful thing is the workers' lack of safety awareness. It's ok to bring in graphite pencils and the like, but why would the person who was writing something put his hand on the wire? !
It will kill people!!
Victor's heart broke when he saw a man holding an electric wire and writing something in front of a table.
It’s fine if you’re writing, but what are you trying to do by holding the wire?
This is not the way to find excitement!
And why are you workers developing motors?! Do you want to kill him?
"Hey! Let go of the wire! Once the power is on..."
Seeing that the workers were already pulling fuel, he hurried over to the man who was writing something, but his disabled leg prevented him from walking fast.
He now hates his disability because he can't save a life.
However, that person did not seem to care. Instead, he looked in surprise at the lame young man who was still running towards him in a hurry.
"What are you doing! Let me go!"
Victor looked at the other person's puzzled eyes and tried hard to run, but he couldn't do it, so he waved his arms and threw his crutches at Li Ke, trying to use his crutch to knock Li Ke's hand off the wire.
But he tripped over the electric wire and fell to the ground.
However, the expected pain did not happen. He felt a breeze enveloping him, making his body float up, and even the flying crutch returned to his hand.
"Those who carry firewood for the public should not be strangled by the wind and snow. Mr. Victor, what do you think of this sentence?"
