Battle of the Twin Cities: The Ninth Councilor

Chapter 72 The meaning of Jinx is Jinx, stupid!
"When we go out from here, I will give you the potion after seeing your performance."

Bang Bao fiddled with the colored pen in his hand and asked Marcos: "Weird, do you want to try the effect? ​​I'll make a better picture for you. Uh...not a little monkey, but a little rhino? Or a little shark? of?"

"..." Marcos twitched the corner of his mouth twice, and changed the subject: "Let's talk about your name, I'm going to apply for Picheng household registration for the four of you in the past two days, and everyone else's name is easy to say, just you The name is a little...inappropriate."

"Not suitable? Then change it to a suitable one." Baobo didn't care much about his name, but was very entangled in what to draw for Marcus to look good: "Why don't you blame me for saying a small Animals, I can draw!"

Marcus automatically ignored the second half of the sentence: "We discussed it just now. Since it is your own name, let you choose a more suitable one."

"Help me get it, as long as it's a name given to me by a weirdo, I can call it anything." Bao Bao waved his hand indifferently, wondering if he should draw a fish bone for Marcus, which is simple to draw, and almost Just a pen.

"Then call it 'Jinx', how about it?" Marcos finally brought up the name.

After hearing this, Wei's eyes moved, and she wanted to say something, but she held it back.

The translation of 'Jinx' means 'scourge', 'ominous person', and 'heavenly ghost'.

This name doesn't sound much better than 'Push', but it also has a bit of a curse meaning, which makes Wei, a sister, feel uncomfortable.

But thinking that Baobo is no less dependent on Marcos than she is now, if he objects now, Baobao may rebel and accept the name directly.

So she didn't open her mouth, she just hoped that Baobo would realize something by herself, and then raise an objection.

However, Baobo didn't think much about it at all, and nodded: "Jinx? Uh...it sounds good, just this."

Wei: "..."

Craig: "...This, isn't it appropriate?"

Mellow couldn't accept it either, and reminded Baobo: "Do you know what 'Jinx' means?"

"The meaning of Jinx..." Baobao was taken aback for a moment, pulled away from the idea of ​​drawing something for Marcus, and thought about it carefully. Out of trust in Marcus, she finally did not refuse: "Jinx The meaning is Jinx, stupid!"

"..." Melo also retreated.

Even Baobao himself accepted the name, and the other three couldn't say much. They looked at Marcos anxiously, hoping that he would change his words.

As a result, Marcus made a decision on his own, as if he didn't see their eyes: "Then, from now on, your name will be Jinx."

This name will be accompanied by the iconic little monkey graffiti in the future, resounding throughout the two cities of Pizu!

"I said... isn't it a little too rude for you to leave an old man aside like this?"

Heimerdinger's dissatisfied voice sounded, and everyone realized that there was another noble person who had been ignored by them.

Marcus looked down at Heimerdinger: "Professor, why didn't you attend the completion ceremony of the Hexagate today?"

"Thank you for remembering this!" Heimerdinger almost jumped up and hit Marcus on the knee: "Did you send me an invitation?"

invitation?

Marcus was stunned for a moment: "What invitation? This ceremony has long been published in the Piltover Daily, and all residents of Piltover can participate spontaneously, no invitation is required."

"..."

Now it was Heimerdinger's turn to be embarrassed: "I only read drawings, never newspapers."

"Look, you can't blame me, you missed the news about the completion ceremony." Marcos smiled helplessly, and he didn't expect that there are still people who don't read the newspaper.

It would be like meeting a person with the latest smartphone who can't even surf mobile data when everyone uses a smartphone in modern society.

"Forget it, anyway, I participate in the Evolution Day once a year, and I'm tired of this lively scene." Heimerdinger said indifferently: "It's no big deal to miss one participation."

'Evolution Day' is a traditional festival in Piltover, mainly commemorating the founding of Piltover.

In the past, Heimerdinger was the center of Evolution Day, and he gave the annual speech.

"Speaking of Evolution Day, it will be held again in two months." Heimerdinger rubbed his palms: "This Evolution Day happens to be celebrating the [-]th anniversary of the founding of Piltover. Are you interested in giving a speech instead of me?"

"Me?" Marcus was stunned for a moment, because in the original plot, Jess was pushed to the podium.

Hearing what Heimerdinger said at this time, it seems that this speaker...has changed?

"Of course!" Heimerdinger nodded as a matter of course: "The most outstanding technology that appeared in Piltover this year is Hex, and as the leader of the three founders, you are definitely qualified to speak on stage instead of me."

"This matter..." Marcus wanted to refuse this kind of publicity, but he changed his tone when the words came to his lips: "I'll think about it again."

"You just need to give me an answer one month before the evolution day begins." Heimerdinger looked at the four of Wei and the others, sighed and said, "I heard what you said just now. You are in class. Marcos is a good parent, you must be obedient when you follow him in the future, and you must not return to the bad habits of the bottom city, you know?"

His words were originally well intentioned, but Wei and the others felt uncomfortable after hearing them.

For the five years of education, the few people did not express their dissatisfaction, but nodded repeatedly to show that they knew it.

"Forget it, I guess you're not in the mood to continue class today, so I'll be leaving first." Heimerdinger sighed silently again, and walked towards the elevator with his hands behind his back and his short legs.

Looking at Heimerdinger's lonely back, Marcus told the four of them: "Get ready, I'll pick you up after two days after I've settled the account."

After speaking, leaving behind four cheering children, he followed Heimerdinger's pace.

Inside the elevator, Marcos looked at the rapidly flipped sign and asked Heimerdinger: "Professor, I have a heartfelt request, and I hope you can agree."

"You want me to help you research Hex technology?" Heimerdinger's eyes shone with wisdom.

After all, he has lived for more than 300 years. What kind of person hasn't seen it?
As soon as Marcos sticks his ass he knows what shit to do.

"That's right, can you?" Marcus looked at Heimerdinger expectantly.

If there is such an authoritative professor in the research team of Hex technology, the development will be much faster than it is now.

"No, kid." Heimerdinger said sternly: "Until I'm sure that the prospect of Hextech is absolutely safe, I won't take part in it lightly. You should give up on it."

really……

Still not working...

This stubborn old man, even after five years had passed, hadn't lowered his vigilance towards Hextech.

Now it seems that the research and development team of Hextech still has to rely on Jess and Victor as the main force.

Calculating the time, Hank who went out to do errands should be back. I don't know if he found that person.
