Battle of the Twin Cities: The Ninth Councilor

Chapter 148 Deviant Marcus

"I didn't expect that the new hero skills would be updated in real time."

Marcus studied Renata's skill description and found a very interesting feature.

From the only bit of information on the skill icon, it is not difficult to see that this is a character who uses alchemy potions as the main means, and from the effect of the potion, it cannot be said to be very similar to the effect of the existing shimmer potion, it can only be said to be exactly the same .

"interesting."

Pulling away from the system page, Marcus touched the tip of his nose, and said in thought: "According to Sirko's life of Renata and the hero's skills, no matter how you look at it, people think that those medicines came from Renata's parents. hand."

But the reality is that Shirko and Singed have developed the 'Shimmer' potion, which is very intriguing.

"I remember that before crossing, the fist company said that Silko would not be released as a hero. Could it be... Renata is a substitute for Silko?"

An outrageous but convincing idea came to Marcus' mind.

After all, the fist company has played a lot of similar operations.

The game has been released for ten years, and there are only changed hero background stories and some inconspicuous details, which are too numerous to count.

And in order to increase revenue, develop a series of skins that are obviously different from the background of the game world, and then just talk about "parallel universe" operations, which are countless.

"So, is it possible that when the animation of "Twin Cities" is still in production, the skill mechanism of the hero Renata is already in the process of simultaneous production?"

It's just that Shirko's word-of-mouth polarization has become more polarized after the anime was released, and the fist company was not sure about the market direction, so it simply declared that Shirko would not appear in the game as a hero.

Then I don’t want to waste all my hard work, so I changed the name and description of the skill, and then built a character model and compiled a set of hero backgrounds with bitter hatred and deep hatred, so as to make the best use of everything?
"Well, that's probably it."

Marcus came to a conclusion and rubbed the center of his brows, not only did he not feel relaxed, but even more distressed.

Because the operation of the game company has added a lot of unknowns and uncertainties to Marcos' future life.

What is his biggest hole card in Runeterra?
Almighty system?
That can only be regarded as one of the hole cards, and it cannot be regarded as the concept of 'biggest'.

If you can't earn points, no matter how powerful the Almighty system is, it's still a blank check, and you can only think of it as a thought.

And the fact that he was able to thrive in Picheng after traveling for five years is because he is very familiar with the background stories of most of the heroes. Can he even describe some heroes like the palm of his hand?
However, now there is a hero role that is almost unknown to him, which invisibly adds a restraint to him.

It is true that the Renata who appeared at this time is not out of the category of ordinary people, no matter how powerful it is, it is at most a little tricky for Marcos.

but!
What's next?
What if there are some guys with outrageous combat power in the future?
Leaving aside, the few ancient magic weapons scattered around Piltover, which sealed the Darkborn and hadn't awakened, were enough for him.

God knows when the designers suddenly had a flash of inspiration and let one of them wake up and come back to the world?

What if the awakened Darkborn is the kind whose mind is not working well enough to destroy the world when he wakes up...

Marcus dared not think about his future, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the world was full of dangers.

"This is forcing me to speed up my development!!!" Marcus roared in a low voice. He worked hard to get Hextech on the right track, and now he needs to continue to speed up the progress. Isn't this killing people?

The early morning hours were spent in torment.

Just after dawn, Marcos was fully dressed and appeared on the street.

Breathing the slightly chilly air, Marcos was slightly refreshed, and it seemed that the distress he had suffered not long ago had dissipated a little.

"Let's take one step at a time. Don't mess with the planned plan and rhythm, otherwise the steps will be too big and it will be easy to tear the egg." Marcus took a deep breath. After all, his golden finger has a lot of constraints, and the sign-in system of the predecessors is easy to get. Very different.

Totally incomparable.

Not in the mood to enjoy breakfast, Marcus hurried all the way to the Hex Technology Research Institute, just in time for the law enforcement officers guarding the research institute to change shifts.

When several law enforcement officers saw him, they all stood up straight without looking sideways: "Morning Sheriff!"

"It's early, and I'm in good spirits." Marcus nodded slightly, and saw a gap in the door of the research institute: "Has anyone come already?"

A law enforcement officer immediately reported: "Report to the sheriff, it's not that someone came, but someone didn't leave at night!"

"...Oh, is it Zevi?"

I remember that woman said that she would spend the night at the research institute until the dormitory was renovated.

"Yes...but more than..."

Seeing the law enforcement officer moaning, Marcus simply passed them and walked straight into the interior of the institute to see what happened.

Entering the research institute, Marcos accidentally found that the busy man Zevi was rarely sitting on the edge of a workbench not far away, concentrating on something similar to a blueprint in his hand.

Beside her stood Ezreal and Catherine, gaunt and exhausted.

"Izzy and Catherine?" Marcus wondered, "What are they doing here?"

Just about to step forward to ask, Zewei read the things in his hand, looked up and asked the two of them: "Is this the homework you two gave me?"

Ize asked cautiously: "Is there... any question?"

"Questions?" Zevi sneered and slapped the drawing on the workbench: "There are too many questions, too low-level!"

"One of you is a shooter who has been with sniper rifles all year round, and the other is an outstanding student trained by those old antiques from the Advanced Institute of Technology. How did you design the barrel of the sniper rifle so thin?"

"What? Are your sniper bullets used as embroidery needles for sewing clothes?"

"Are you a sniper rifle or a blowgun?"

"Also, why is the butt so fancy? Don't you know that a sniper needs a perfect butt to withstand the strong recoil? You can just make the end of the butt curved, why are the sides so sharp? "

"Are you killing the enemy or committing suicide?"

"Want to laugh at your enemies to death?"

"And here... here... here..."

There were no less than ten problems in the drawing where Zevi continued. He was so angry that he didn't want to talk, and waved his hands at the two: "Take the drawing back, my head hurts!"

Ize and Catherine saw that the blueprints that had been drawn up all night were worthless, and they both wanted to struggle and argued: "The reason why I designed the barrel so thin is that I am planning to improve the bullets too. Take a moment. The original design of this sniper rifle is to pursue penetration and cause greater damage, so the warhead will be changed into a thin and long embroidery needle type, and strive to kill with one hit!"

After Ize finished speaking, it was Catherine's turn. She pointed to the butt of the gun and explained: "According to my experience of using sniper rifles all the year round, the larger the area of ​​the butt that fits the human body, the stronger the recoil it can withstand. We The bullet to be improved will use Hextech energy as power, so the recoil will definitely be stronger than the conventional sniper rifle. And this arc design can fit the shoulder to a greater extent..."

"What nonsense!"

Zevi interrupted them with a face full of impatience: "Are you three-year-olds? Take it for granted?!"

She first pointed at Ezreal and retorted: "You said you want to improve the bullets? Then let me ask you, how can the strength of the bullets be guaranteed if the sniper rifle bullets are made as thick as embroidery needles?"

Then he pointed to Catherine and asked, "You said you want to use Hex crystals as energy sources? Have you considered how to store energy? Have you ever considered that maybe the final result will be a huge monster like a Hex gate?" ?”

The two were left speechless.

Indeed, when they designed this blueprint, they did not take the actual situation into consideration, and made improvements entirely by imagining ways to increase its power.

It's just that the improvement here, in the eyes of a veteran like Zevi, has to be put in quotation marks.

Seeing the embarrassment of the two, Marcos excused them at the right time: "Designer Zavi, they are just two novices who haven't started yet, and one of them is not even an inventor and a professional shooter. You have such high demands on them. Is it a little too strong?"

"Marcos? Why did you come so early?" Zevi turned her head and found that there was another person in the research institute, and then she snorted and said, "It's difficult for others? If the former sheriff hadn't repeatedly rejected my development request, The weapons I invented at their age can kill them instantly!"

"What? The development request was rejected?" Marcus was stunned for a moment. He didn't see these records in Zevi's historical files.

Could it be that those who were rejected were not recorded in the file?
"Say something so powerful that it's easy to accidentally injure innocent people..." Zewei muttered in a low voice, but it was clearly heard by everyone present.

"..." Marcus was silent for a few seconds, and said bitterly, "Nigtim, the old... Sheriff, is a bit short-sighted."

Taking into account Catherine's presence, he abruptly changed 'old stuff' to 'old sheriff' so that no one would report to Nigtim.

Speaking of which, since Nigtim stepped down from office, the fat old man has lived a very happy life every day.

According to those lawmen who occasionally encountered him, Nigtim was either eating or on the way to eat every morning when he got up.

Sometimes he invites old friends from the past, such as Ms. Grayson and her daughter, for a meal.

By the way, Marcos has confirmed that the girl he raised in the original book is actually Grayson's, and he just raised the child for his former boss.

"You see, this is the main reason why I jumped to the Hex Technology Institute." Zevi said with a smile: "Because you are a rebel, and with you as the leader, I can let go and do whatever I want!"

Marcus frowned: "Why do you even say that I am deviant?"

"Because you support the use of magic!" Zevi said in a reasonable tone: "Supporting magic, isn't it deviant enough?"

good guy...

Marcus thought to himself, feeling like he didn't do anything, is it a typical example of deviant in the upper city and the lower city?

"Forget it, let's not talk about those useless things." Zevi waved his hand, let Yize and the others leave first, and then said to Marcos: "You came just in time, I have something to do with you."
