Chapter 235: Humanity and Sophistication
Because he had caused trouble, Ike seemed a little timid. He turned his head and looked at Blast, Craig and Milo, and then nodded.
Li Lin was silent for a while.
He remembered that in the original world line, Blast, who became Jinx, stole the new energy device invented by Heimerdinger, and wanted to modify his "fish bone" rocket launcher to blow up a high-rise building, but something unexpected happened.
The fish bones filled with Hex crystals flew uncontrollably to Zaun. The energy device inside happened to be picked up by Ike, who was scavenging in the ditch metal scrap area, and he transformed it into a "nitrogen" skateboard.
Later, because Ike underestimated the power of the Hex energy device, the skateboard flew into the sky and returned to Piltover. It happened to fall in front of Heimerdinger, who later transformed it into a Hex flying skateboard.
But now, Ike, who has gone through advanced professional knowledge, has invented something like a flying board at this age.
At this time, a slightly panting law enforcement officer who just ran over from the street interrupted Li Lin's thoughts: "Mr. Li Lin, thank you very much for helping us catch these little bastards!"
The faces of the four children all changed, and they turned to Li Lin for help.
"Oh, you guys can really cause trouble." Li Lin glared at them helplessly, "I will help you, but you have to come down with me and apologize to the law enforcement officers."
Then, under the angry gazes of the law enforcement officers, the four children followed Li Lin and landed on the ground.
Law enforcement officers immediately gathered around and removed the handcuffs from their belts.
"Wait a moment."
Li Lin stopped them, and then turned his eyes to the leading law enforcement officer: "I'm sorry, these four children know me and are students of our Gila Mann family.
“They came here just to show me their newly invented flying skateboard, but they forgot that Hex Technology had to be certified first. I will teach them a lesson later.
"I'm sorry for causing you any trouble."
The law enforcement officers looked at each other, and the leader's face was immediately filled with smiles, "What are you talking about! It's just a misunderstanding, not really any trouble."
Li Lin turned around and waved to the children behind him. They immediately reacted, walked up to the law enforcement officer, bowed deeply, and said in unison: "I'm sorry for causing you trouble!"
"It's a small thing. In the future, please remember that any Hex or Alchemy technology products must be certified before they can be used. Do you understand?"
"I understand."×4
The chief law enforcement officer gave some verbal instruction, and then nodded to Li Lin with a smile and said hello: "Mr. Li Lin, you are busy, we will close the team now."
After watching the law enforcement officers leave, Li Lin breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he didn't like this kind of behavior, he had to admit that sometimes, some of the small privileges of nobles were quite useful.
Humanity is so sophisticated...
As soon as the law enforcement officer left, the four children immediately became active again.
Bao Bao ran to Li Lin first, holding Feiban in one hand, grabbing his hand in the other and shaking it, pouting with a look of dissatisfaction.
"Li Lin Li Lin! You didn't even come to see me in the dark alley when you came back!"
"Hey? I haven't found any trouble with you yet, but you're complaining about me first?" Li Lin glared at her, "And I've been to Fulgen's Tavern since I came back, but you weren't at home."
"Huh? Fandel didn't even tell us about your return." Bakuba raised his eyebrows slightly, "I didn't know you were back until I heard a customer in the store say last night that it was you flying in the sky."
"I've known it for a long time. My parents said that Brother Li Lin led people to close down the notorious Oswald Asylum."
"Little one! I know you haven't told me yet!" Bao Bao grinned at Ike, very dissatisfied.
"You didn't even ask..."
Li Lin unfolded the armor on his hands, smiled and rubbed Explosive's hair, "I think Ike is taller than you, so you should be the younger one now."
Upon hearing this, Ike, Craig and Milo surrounding him all covered their mouths, but Milo couldn't help laughing.
"No!"
Bao Bao glared at them angrily, then stuck out his tongue at Li Lin and made a face.
"Okay, okay, the street is not the place to talk. Come and talk inside."
There was still a short detour from the main entrance, so Li Lin simply asked them to get on the flying board again and follow him directly into the workshop.
"——Wow!"×4
When they saw Li Lin's workshop, the four children were stunned and exclaimed sincerely.
"Remember not to touch it randomly, some things are very dangerous to you."
Li Lin walked to the main workroom with four excited children, moved chairs and got soda drinks for them, and then returned to his work chair and sat down.
He turned his eyes to Ike first and said, "Tell me, didn't the teacher of the Giraman family teach you not to use uncertified technological devices casually? This is illegal."
Ike opened his mouth, then lowered his face, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault."
"No, I was too playful. It should be my fault for letting Ike take out the flying board and go to the city."
"I am the oldest and it should be my fault that I did not stop this behavior."
Milo and Clegg immediately argued, not letting Ike take the blame alone.
Li Lin was amused by their behavior and recalled the first time he caught them stealing things in his workplace.
He shook his head. He had no intention of holding these children accountable, so he changed the subject: "By the way, I didn't have time to listen to what you said just now... Why don't you see Wei?"
Li Lin turned to Baobao, "Aren't you and your sister basically inseparable?"
Bakuba, who was biting his straw and swaying his calves on the chair, heard this and shook his face, "Vi is in trouble. Fandel grounded her for a month."
Li Lin raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Tell us in detail what's going on?"
"It's not that Mr. Wei wants to imitate Fandel and form a gang. No, it's screwed up by her."
As soon as Milo said these words, he immediately provoked an angry glare, "Hey, you said this, Milo. You seemed to have voted in favor of it, right?"
"But I didn't agree with what happened two days ago!"
"But you mentioned that you want to cooperate with the Fangmu Devil Gang who is hostile to us!"
"Can you blame me? Don't you agree too?"
Bao Bao and Milo became more and more excited as they quarreled.
Li Lin roughly knew what happened to Wei from their few words.
Similar to the original world line, Vi still wanted to form her own gang, but unfortunately she was tricked by a rival gang.
However, due to his intervention, Fandel was not dragged away for transformation, so Wei's fate also changed a lot.
Li Lin stopped the two people who were blushing and said, "Stop arguing. Arguing can't solve the problem... Tell me the details."
Bao Bao and Milo snorted coldly, turned their faces and ignored each other.
Craig and Ike had helpless expressions, and seemed to be used to this kind of scene.
"Let me tell you." Clegg raised his hand, "The matter has to start more than two months ago..."
More than two months ago, Wei had a conflict with a gang of gangsters in Diggou. When he returned home, he proposed the idea of establishing his own gang.
At that time, they all agreed and named their gang "Iron Fist Gang". As the gang leader, Wei wanted to become a legend in the underworld like Fander.
They secretly hid it from Fandel and "roamed" outside the dark alleys for more than two months on weekdays, and finally received their first "mission."
In fact, Wei listened to the chats of several regular miners at Forgan's Tavern, learned the time and methods of several huge Hex Technology transactions, and wanted to rob the money.
It has been planned for a long time, but because there are only 5 people in the Iron Fist Gang, it is very dangerous to try to steal food from an alchemist baron.
Vi doesn't want to give up, so Milo proposes to cooperate with the "Fangmu Devil Gang", a gang that has been hostile to them for the past two months and has thought that they are just kids who are always looking for trouble.
Wei thought about it for a long time and finally agreed.
A few days ago, they went to the Digou Mine and subdued the people from the Upper City and the Lower City who were trading goods there.
The plan was going very smoothly up to this point, but to Wei and the others' surprise, the leader of the Fangmu Devil Gang used the mine's Astra gravel gloves to kill the mine owner and trap the other miners in the mine. Tao Zhong, and then ran away with the money.
At that time, Wei and the others hesitated for a long time, but finally chose not to save him.
You Wei put on the gloves and punched to break the collapsed rocks in the mine tunnel. They helped to move the rocks and rescued the miners.
The next day, she wore the gloves she brought back from the mine and visited the Fangmu Devil Gang alone. She taught them all a lesson and paid special attention to their boss.
Afterwards, Vi returned to Fulgrim's Tavern to admit her mistake to Fander, and took all the responsibility, which was why they were not grounded.
After hearing this, Li Lin stared at the four children angrily and lectured: "How old are each of them? Are you thinking of forming a gang to go out to rob? It's just a gang. After more than two months, there are only five of you members? Is it embarrassing to say it?
"It's also a credit to Wei that she was the only one involved. If Fandel knew that you were all involved in this matter, I guess you wouldn't even think about taking a step out of the dark alley in the future."
Bangbao, Ike, Clegg and Milo's faces were red with shame, and they lowered their heads and did not dare to say a word.
After thinking about it, Li Lin continued: "It seems that I can no longer hesitate. I will go to inspect the goods in the factory in two days and pay a visit to Fandel. You might as well go to school for me.
"Bangbao, if Milo is interested in invention, go to Hex Design Academy. If Wei and Clegg... well, go to Law Enforcement Academy!"
Including Ike, Blast, Clegg and Milo looked up at the same time, "Huh?"
