Chapter 155 [0153] Twin Cities
After getting up early and washing up quickly while there was hot water, Wei shook her wet short pink hair, sat at the dining table and started stuffing bread into her mouth.
The dry and hard Zaun sliced bread actually doesn't taste that good.
This kind of bread, which is cheap and is supplied to all citizens of Zaun, even if it is garnished with sour jam and paired with a cup of strong tea with sugar, will still make you choke and grin.
(Of course, the main reason is that she eats too fast.)
But no matter what, after finishing her own breakfast, Wei was still quite satisfied with the feeling of fullness in her belly.
In fact, unlike many Zaun people, Wei had no worries about food and clothing even in the old Zaun era.
In Fulgen's Tavern, she had enough to eat every day, and she didn't have to do child labor like more children in Zaun.
However, she prefers the feeling now to that time.
The bread she ate was earned by herself, so the taste was naturally different - the only thing that made her a little regretful was that if it hadn't been for too much deduction from her salary this month, she might have added a can of canned Demon Swamp Frog to her breakfast.
Canned marsh frogs are a specialty product produced in Zaun and are very popular among Shurima's caravans.
This kind of tin can can withstand various desert environments. Even if a strong wind blows, the can will not be easily swept into the sky like other materials.
Moreover, even if they are blown into the sky, then fall back to the ground and smash into the sand, these cans will not be broken.
In addition, empty cans can be used as water containers, the salt distribution ratio in the cans is balanced, and the taste of the cans is complementary to the naan bread commonly eaten by Shuriman people. These cans quickly became popular in a small area of Shurima. .
In this way, the canned Demon Swamp Frogs became an important source of income for Zaun.
However, within Zaun, due to the relatively small internal currency circulation, people in Zaun generally do not have the spare money to buy this stuff to eat - to say the least, even if they like to eat Demon Marsh Frogs, they can buy some fresh or frozen ones themselves. Isn’t it good to cook it before eating it?
Why do you have to eat canned food?
Only someone like Wei, who can't cook and really likes the bite of the Demon Marsh Frog, would think about a can all day long...
Smacking his lips, and putting aside the disappointment of not being able to eat the Demon Swamp Frog, Wei quickly changed her clothes, and then put the hat representing the law enforcement officer on her head.
Unlike the tall and exaggerated Piltover hats, the uniforms of Zaun law enforcers are more practical.
Zaun's climate conditions are stable and the temperature is relatively high all year round, so the law enforcement officer's uniform is just a light red shirt with a special water print pattern, paired with an armed belt and two epaulettes.
As for the law enforcement officer's hat, it is extremely simple - a red flat cap with a brim and a narrow brim, nothing more.
After finishing dressing, Wei confirmed that there was nothing wrong with her outfit. After moving her neck and shoulders a little, she finally opened the door and left.
Today is his first time as a leader, organizing the defense work of the joint laboratory. Wei is in a good mood and has high morale. He even smiles brightly when he greets the auntie of the guard.
……………………
On the other side, Miss Caitlin Gilaman also left her manor.
Unlike Vi, who was in a happy mood, Caitlin was looking forward to this task, but she was also quite unwilling.
This unwillingness is not because I feel that I am being overqualified, but because I have just been taken seriously.
Although Grayson did not die unexpectedly, Caitlin finally embarked on the road of becoming a law enforcement officer - mainly because of the changes in the situation in Piltover, even the Gila Mann family was not very good for herself. The daughter directly arranges the future.
In this case, being a decent and safe law enforcement officer is obviously a pretty good choice.
Decent is easy to understand, but safety... well, since joining the ranks of law enforcement officers last year and becoming a law enforcement officer, Caitlin has never officially performed any meaningful work.
Helping find a lost Poro was the most practical mission she had ever done.
Most of the time, she performs security work for various commercial activities related to the Gila Mann family - it is very important to say, but almost nothing happens.
Then, Caitlin was promoted all the way through these "achievements", and soon became an upper-level employee within the law enforcement officer...
It is the dream of most people to rise to great heights.
But for Caitlin, this only made her feel uncomfortable - as she said herself, she was an alien, and she longed to change the world, but the Gila Mann family protected her very well. She couldn't do anything if she wanted to.
Within the ranks of law enforcement officers, Caitlin has a high status, but unfortunately she has no reliable confidants. Everyone respects her, but no one really takes her seriously unless she gives formal orders.
Out of place, that's Caitlin.
Caitlin didn't understand. It was obvious that collecting illegal money for taking cards was a bad thing, but it was common among law enforcement officers. It was obvious that being polite, following procedures and doing things according to rules was the right way, but no one among the law enforcement officials enforced it.
Caitlin wanted to know this, but when she asked different people, she always came to different conclusions.
According to her mother, those people were greedy.
According to Grace, everyone has to support their families.
According to the citizens, law enforcement officers have always been like this.
As for asking the law enforcers, most people just hesitated and avoided the question. A few people looked at Caitlin with sympathy, as if they were looking at a thing that knew nothing, and then told her that we are different, this is our way of survival.
Unlike Lux, Caitlin has not really lived with ordinary Zaun people. She has never experienced the hard work of dock workers, let alone the hardships of workshop apprentices.
In the absence of practice, the young girl Caitlin Jiraman also has a lot of troubles.
However... this mission may be a good opportunity.
As an outlier among socialites, Caitlin is not on the same frequency as others most of the time.
As a law enforcer, she has no common language with other law enforcers because of her background. In this case, maybe she can only truly gain the recognition of other law enforcers if she does not rely on Jiraman's background to make some achievements?
With this in mind, she collected a lot of information about Zaun from the moment she received the mission. She used all possible connections to copy any information that might be helpful for this mission from newspapers and books, and tried to make Zaun an imaginary enemy from the beginning.
After all... as a member of the parliament, the Jiraman family has reason to hate and distrust these poor Zaun people.
Especially when their independence has doubled the labor expenditure of the family industry - even if the prosperity of Hextech has made the family earn more.
Just like that, Caitlin, who was ready, closed her notebook, put on the neat Piltover law enforcement officer uniform, put on the tall law enforcement officer hat, and left the Blue Xun Manor reluctantly but with high morale, and went straight to the college area.
Karya's Little Classroom·Gillaman's Business:
During the rapid development of Hextech, the Gillaman family quickly expanded their business scope. They did not focus directly on Hextech products, but cleverly acquired a large number of factories producing various instruments and equipment, firmly grasped the upstream industry, and even achieved a monopoly in optical instruments.
PS. Additional update 6/30, the latest chapters are finally straightened out, and tomorrow should be able to speed up a bit, hahaha~
