Two flawless, deep blue Hextech crystals lay quietly on a layer of thick, soft cotton.
As the dazzling blue light quickly appeared in the air, Jace's eyes became hot.
He picked up a piece of crystal and fondly rubbed its not-so-smooth surface, muttering to himself, "Is this Hextech crystal...it's truly top-notch!"
Next to them, Benso, who had just finished reading the letter, noticed Jace's expression and opened his mouth in surprise.
"Uh...so you two really are friends?"
Li Lin smiled and asked, "What else?"
I thought you were rival families competing with each other...
Benso scratched his bald head with an embarrassed expression and said nothing more.
Li Lin casually picked up another crystal, and its information emerged in his mind:
[Hextech Crystal (Common): A mass-produced, unstable miniature energy core developed through rune alchemy and chemical engineering. Its energy supply efficiency is low and it is prone to explosion upon impact.]
[Attributes (for machinery): 200 Energy]
[Ability Effect]
[Passive Unstable Matter: Violent collisions can cause powerful explosions]
[Passive Energy Core: When the crystal is used as a core energy supply device, it provides an additional 250 energy bonus to mechanical creations.]
[Passive Recycling: When crystal energy is consumed, it can be recycled and recharged (requires Hextech Crystal Synthesis Device)]
Compared to my advanced Hextech Energy Crystal, this ordinary crystal's properties are far inferior...
While Li Lin was thinking, Jace dug out crystal fragments of different sizes and dull colors from the bottom of the box.
Li Lin took a casual glance and shook his head.
There were indeed one or two fragments of higher quality than the ones Jace had purchased last time, but most of them had completely lost their power and were just waste.
These should have been stripped from a piece of machinery in a recycling yard that recycles waste from the upper city.
Li Lin pulled out a purse from his bag and threw it to Benso. "There are 10 gold seas in it. If you see crystals next time, keep them for me. I'll find time to come and see them."
However, to Li Lin's surprise, Benso actually returned the purse to him. "No, you are Vandel's friend. I cannot accept this money."
"From Vander's letter?" Li Lin smiled helplessly. "Just keep it. Even brothers should settle accounts. Besides, I don't need this little money."
He forced the purse into Benso's hand and focused his gaze on Ike. "But..."
Feeling Li Lin's burning gaze, Ike couldn't help but tremble all over. He subconsciously wanted to run to the inner room, but was stopped in advance by Li Lin who was one step faster.
"Your name is Ike, right? Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person."
Ike didn't dare look directly at Li Lin, and looked at Benso with a slightly terrified expression.
"Mr. Li Lin, Ike is just doing odd jobs for me. He even helped you treat your wound last time. I don't think he has done anything to offend you..."
Benso felt a little embarrassed and didn't understand what he was trying to do.
Li Lin waved his hand. "I just saw that this little guy is extremely talented and has amazing bones. He is a genius that is one in a million. I wanted to ask him if he is willing to be my apprentice."
Hearing this, Jace, Ike, and Benso were all confused and looked at Li Lin in confusion.
"Huh?" ×3
