Chapter 43 Today's headlines
Ike showed his talent for creativity since he was a child. He learned to make simple machinery before he learned to climb. He liked inventions and wanted to use inventions to change the status quo of Zuan.
As Ike grew up, his inventions became more and more magical and more complex, so he needed some rare parts that could only be "rescued" from a privately run garbage factory. Fortunately, he had a flexible view on private treasury trespassing.
Not long after, Zuan's fierce men and cruel guards began to beware of Ike and his weird gangs, and often staged happy chase scenes with these children.
Ike always found it funny, and I don’t know why the Picheng Laboratory and Alchemy Baron Factory allocated heavy troops to guard their garbage.
They will not really use these abandoned technological devices. On the contrary, in his hands, all of this garbage can be skillfully turned into treasure.
In this way, Ike can remember the time of the guard shifts, the distribution of troops, the time of garbage disposal and safe secret passages in various garbage dumps.
But the ruins in front of you are like an undiscovered virgin land! Without guards to block, there may be treasures hidden under every stone.
Ike and his friends immediately took action and began to quickly search for useful parts in the ruins.
Soon they found a lot of bulk reinforcements.
Ike's attentiveness made him discover a unique treasure: a blue crystal fragment with magical light!
"This is..." The light of the crystal fragment reminded Ike of a familiar story.
Every Zuan's child has heard of the story of Hex Crystal, which is the source of power for divine weapons and heroes. They can generate energy on their own, and they have the potential to change the world.
And now he was holding a broken Hex crystal in his hand.
He ordered the other children to search the neighborhood quickly and then found other fragments.
The pieces seemed to be humming in a low voice, trying to sing a broken melody, and whenever the pieces approached each other, the song's sound became slightly louder.
He was patient in the crystal fragments of the ruins, some of which were buried deep in the ruins. He had to get into various stinking garbage dumps, and he was happy even if he was so dizzy that he was dizzy.
Then a scream diverted his attention.
Someone found the machine head and opened it, and found a brain that had turned into mushy. This broken brain scared everyone, and they were just a group of children.
Ike realized that there might have been some kind of terrible experiment here, and now, they have to leave.
He immediately took everyone to evacuate the place immediately and destroyed the footprints they left behind to make sure no one would follow.
In most cases, Ike's intuition was very accurate, which helped him escape many times of guards' encirclement, and this time it did not disappoint him.
Shortly after they left, the place was surrounded by a group of fierce men. They were conducting a carpet-style search, obviously looking for something.

While eating the breakfast Oliana had cooked, Geno looked at the daily newspaper that the sender had just placed at the door.
The content recorded on the most conspicuous section caught his attention:
"Victor is suspected to be the initiator of the Zuan poisonous fog accident. He directed and acted by himself to kill the Zuan people to obtain a large number of human brains, snatched the Hex crystal making machinery army, intending to counterattack Picheng!
Genius inventor Jace single-handedly broke into Victor's evil base, broke through the numerous encirclements and killed Victor, and was seriously injured and escaped!”
Seeing this, Geno almost sprayed milk on Oriana's face.
"If you don't give pictures at the beginning, the content depends on editing. These bad people who write books are too much."
Geno, who knew the cause and effect, wanted to send a blade to the newspaper. In order to maintain Picheng's glorious image, he could not be so shameless.
"What's wrong?"
Orianna has been following Geno, and naturally saw his movements of almost spraying milk on her body, so she handed over the tissue with a weird expression and stretched her neck to look at the contents in the newspaper.
"Victor, you're not such a bad guy. You can't just find Victor's trace at the gas leak point (it was written earlier that Victor had gone to the leak point to recover the crashed Britz) and he wouldn't be able to kill people randomly."
Looking at Oriana, Geno directly sorted out the cause of the matter for her. As for why Geno knew the real situation, he used Gana as a shield to make excuses.
"It's so bloody, why are all misunderstandings!"
The bizarre story of two people falling in love and killing each other almost made Oriana cry. Sure enough, the sadistic plot of the man and the man was extremely lethal to girls and the effect was outstanding.
Geno could not change what had happened. As an outsider, he also wanted to help Victor and Jace get rid of the misunderstanding and make up for it.
Victor's ideal is to transform the human body and make human beings stronger without being disturbed by emotions; Jace felt that technology should serve human beings, rather than transform human beings themselves. The two concepts conflicted seriously and could not be mediated.
Geno didn't want the two of them to evolve into mortal enemies like this, and then provoke a war between Piltwolf and Zuan, but many times, the wheels of history are so close that it is impossible to catch up.
Some things are destined. Zuan's environment created Victor's extremeness, and Picheng's cultivation of Jace's arrogance. If you want to change the fate of the two, you may have to start before the collapse of Zuan.
Geno does not have the ability to turn back time.
"A person's life is full of misunderstandings. Too many misunderstandings constitute clues to our lives. Sometimes we persist in that misunderstanding again and again, and as a result it becomes a part of our lives... Just like life is a misunderstanding... This kind of misunderstanding just weaves what we call fate... Life itself is composed of a series of misunderstandings, depending on how you face it and how you choose."
"Wow, you can also say something so profound about fate. Did you secretly go to make up for cultural courses without hiding it?"
Orianna asked curiously with her cup.
"No, you're stupid!"
"You are stupid! I did 70% of the work I did yesterday."
“That’s the drawing I was taking the time to design the communicator!”
"How dare you speak out openly when doing private affairs?" A slender and fair hand twisted Geno's ears.
"Stop making trouble, you're done after eating!"
Orianna always likes to touch her feet. The frequent physical contact made Geno sigh and calm down to prepare for today's work.
"What are you sighing? Do you feel unfair about Victor?"
"Not all, I am lamenting that the crystal that was smashed by Jace is all money. Since all the reports have been released, it proves that the crystal fragments have been recycled, and my overnight wealth has been wasted!"
"It's funny, why did it become your thing?"
Oriana sneered, after packing the tableware, she sat next to Geno, and devoted herself to the hard work she had today.
Geno knew that the crystal from Shurima was actually a Hex crystal, and it was a natural one. This crystal was called the primitive crystal, and was first discovered by the Firos family in Shurima.
Although artificial crystals can imitate primitive crystals in all aspects and have some of their effects, there is one thing that cannot be imitated.
They can absorb magic energy in the air by themselves! Continuously provide energy!
The heart that Geno wants to make requires a complete primitive crystal, and only the heart made of it can never stop fighting.
Although the crystal has been broken, the fragments can also be used for the production of communicators. If the original crystal fragments are used as batteries, the communicators can achieve permanent standby.
