But Victor was already very satisfied.
The bell of the Zodiac Basement rang for the second time. It was already two o'clock in the afternoon and the lunch break in Piltover was over.
Li Lin put on the Infinite Source Project power armor and took the Hextech pressure transporter down to the ditch.
Because his reputation was already known to all the major families, in order to curry favor with him, the family that built the elevator ordered that they would not charge him a penny.
After about an hour, the elevator stopped at the upper level of the trench, which was also the final stop.
Further down, most of the middle and bottom layers of the trench are mines, garbage dumps and sewage disposal areas.
The only people who go there are miners and scavengers, and they can't afford the elevator, so the family that built it certainly wouldn't waste their money.
Li Lin walked out of the elevator alone and headed straight for the tidal power station under construction in the northeast.
He spent a lot of money to hire Hake as the supervisor, and also hired several strong alchemy technology enhancement thugs to protect the construction site.
Of course, Huck couldn't understand the blueprints, nor did he understand what a power station was or how to build it.
Li Lin looked for him simply because he was Vander's subordinate and was more familiar with the ditch.
And his job only requires him to keep an eye on the construction site to prevent the construction materials from being stolen by some bold scavengers and gutter orphans.
As for construction issues, Li Lin will be in charge of the entire process.
Soon, he arrived at the construction site.
But the scene before him made him frown.
A group of at least 50 people armed with swords, rifles and muskets surrounded his construction site, shouting obscenities.
Among them are many enhanced humans who have been enhanced and transformed by alchemical technology.
If Li Lin had not erected thickened walls and iron gates around the construction site like construction on Earth, this group of guys with obviously bad intentions would have probably broken in.
The skinny and hunchbacked Huck and the few thugs he hired were completely unable to handle such a situation.
Was this the Alchemist Baron who took action...
Li Lin's heart sank, his eyes instantly turned cold, and he quickened his pace and ran to the iron gate of the construction site.
As if they recognized his power armor, dozens of thugs immediately pointed their thermal weapons at him with ferocious looks on their faces.
Before Li Lin could speak, Huck's anxious and frightened voice came from inside: "Mr. Li Lin! You are finally here..."
"Don't worry, I'll take care of the rest."
Li Lin calmed Huck down a bit, then turned to look at the group of guys in front of him. His sight finally locked onto a man with an unusually large build who looked very much like the leader.
The man's entire body was covered in traces of alchemical technology. Emerald green alchemical potions were being transported into his body through catheters, and in his right hand he held a specially modified katana.
"My name is Zongshan Gangtai, and you are Li Lin, the investor of this industrial city?"
Soyama Kota took a few steps forward and pointed his specially made sword at Li Lin with an arrogant tone.
"This is the territory of the Alchemist Baron Takeda-sama. If you want to start construction here, you must pay us 100 gold seas as protection fee first!"
