Chapter 22: Silver Fingers
Piltover Workshop, Colin Workshop.
As the laser carved the last marks on his fingertips, Jeno was finally done with his work.
Jeno took the silvery-white finger from under the laser, placed it in the palm of his hand, and watched it shine in the light of the workbench, the hex chip on the nail glowing like a splash of the brightest blue star in the galaxy.
Bang Bang Bang!
A crisp round of applause rang out.
"Wow! Jeno! I've never seen such a beautiful Hextech. ”
When the work was completed, Orianna, who was watching from the sidelines, was even more excited than Jeno himself, with a smile on her face, "I look good, I like it, and ...... I want it so much".
"Because there were some elements of clockwork power technology in the design of this gadget, it was made a lot more beautiful to the appearance, otherwise what you would see is a simple wire ring with springs and hex crystal shards...... Well...... Small bulbs. ”
I couldn't find the right words to describe that shabby look.
"It should have a name! Give it a nice name! ”
When it came time to name it, Orianna became even more excited, and her fingers tapped quickly on the workbench, urging her mind to think faster with such a hint.
Orianna also had some of her own little inventions, and when she had nothing to do, she would make some wind-up dolls, such as an opera singer dancing ballet, a funny clown who somersault, a monkey who could strike a gong, and she also deliberately made the opera singer look like herself, because her self-taught dance process was not very smooth.
"How's Hex's Blasting Finger Sleeve?" Oriana slapped the table and suggested.
"It's too formal." Jeno shook his head.
"Galactic Mercury?"
"It's so literary, just hearing the name will make people think it's a ring or something."
"You're the inventor, you can take it." Oriana gave up thinking and leaned on the table staring at her fingernails.
"How about the name Goldfinger?" Jano smiled with a slight wicked smile.
"Are you colorblind? It's silver! ”
"Then ...... Silver... Finger it. Jeno's expression froze, and then he smiled even more.
"It's okay, it's quite appropriate, it's just a little vulgar."
Oriana glared at Jeno, she obviously didn't understand why Jeno was laughing, she also thought that the reason why Jeno had such a vulgar name was because he was a Zuan, and his family was poor since he was a child, and he had no way to accumulate literary literacy, and he was relatively poor mentally.
Other than that...... Non-mainstream culture is more open in Zuan, and this sentence refers to the fact that some people's makeup and hairstyles are a little too maverick.
"I don't know what kind of evaluation my father will give, let's go...... Let the true master craftsmen give you a look. ”
Without waiting for Jeno to test his performance, Oriana grabbed Jeno's silver finger and put it on her own hand and rushed towards Colin.
At this time, Pediatric Colin had just finished his lunch and was taking a short rest.
"Father, Father! I'll show you something fun! ”
Awakened by his own daughter, Colin couldn't get angry at all, he opened his eyelids in a daze, and the first scene he saw was Orianna putting her hand on her nose and holding her middle finger straight up.
If this happened to the Earth Star, the parents would have to hang the bear child and beat him, and Jeno couldn't help but laugh on the side until he was about to squirt out at noon.
He deliberately made this finger sleeve into a middle finger, and there is also such a reason in it.
"Oriana, what's the matter with your hands?" When Colin saw Oriana's middle finger, he was immediately frightened and fell asleep.
"yes, look at my hands, what did you find?" Orianna twisted her wrist a few times as if to show off, and the happy look made Colin a little confused.
He put on the hanging lens set at the head of the bed and adjusted the magnification before he could see the details on Oriana's fingers.
"It turned out to be just a false alarm......
Colin breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Oriana's middle finger had been amputated and a prosthetic leg had been fitted.
Fortunately, after careful observation, I found that this thing was not my own work, but the appearance and style were somewhat similar.
Upon seeing the blue "fingernails", he realized that the gadget was not a clockwork powerhouse, but a small Hex.
It's the first time he's seen such a small Hex device, and the smallest Hex technology he's seen is a revolver, although it's called a revolver, but it's actually a hand cannon, the barrel is as thick as a baby's arm, and a cannon can break a poplar with a diameter of half a meter.
"Is this Jeno's work?"
Colin got up and put on his wrapping overalls, his palms pressed down his waist, the folds of the white overalls were smoothed out, and he caught a glimpse of Jeno looking in from outside the door, and he had to maintain his majesty and grace in front of an outsider.
"Uh-huh, yes!" Jano was about to answer, but Orianna answered first, and then she pulled out the silver finger cuff and shoved it into Colin's hand.
Colin came to the window, and took advantage of the bright afternoon sun to take a closer look at the interesting little thing.
The appearance is very beautiful, you can see some of Colin's style, but the details are more perfect, using Hex crystal shards to simulate fingernails, carving some patterns on the belly of the fingers to simulate fingerprints, the knuckles are bent with little resistance, and it looks like steel but much lighter than expected.
Just looking at the appearance, he would give this gadget a high score, especially the design of this fingernail.
"Wait...... Odd? Where did this crystal shard come from? How could that poor boy have such an expensive thing? ”
Colin's doubts were put to the back of his mind as he flipped the silver finger, and his gaze followed the hole at the bottom of the silver finger to observe its interior, only to see a thin layer of non-slip shock-absorbing plastic.
Bigger doubts popped up!
What's the tech content of this thing? Hextech without an energy running system? Could it be that this thing is just for pretending, and it looks good? Expensive Hex Crystals are used for decorations???
Colin's upbringing didn't let him scold himself, he stared at Silverfinger and thought for a while, he felt that Jeno should not be so stupid, and directly put a thing with a perfect appearance and a zero score to deal with the test, which was no different from giving up.
Suddenly, I felt that the energy system might be hidden, and the most likely way was that the energy system was embedded in the inner wall and covered by a plastic layer.
Without seeing the energy device, Colin had no way of knowing what this thing was for, and in what form the energy would be vented.
According to past experience, most of the effects of this Hextech technology combined with the human body, that is, the augmented body, are to improve the user's strength, speed, endurance, or perhaps to give the user a variety of attacks or working methods.
The former is simple and crude, and the energy operation system is also simple, and the system of such a small thing is not very sophisticated, and it can only be the former.
Colin analyzed it for a moment and concluded that this gadget is nine times out of ten like the Hextech of the Great Gauntlet, which can greatly prompt power.
But how much power does one finger increase? Could it be that a brain meltdown can bounce a human skull flying? Even if you can increase your strength by ten times when you are full, at most you will concuss others, and if you exceed ten times, you won't wait to knock people out, and your fingers will be wasted first. Besides, who would stupidly stick out their heads and eat you with a charged brain? You can only use it on your friends unexpectedly, and you can use it up when you run out.
"Jeno, you can show me your work." Colin was silent for a long time, then finally spoke up and handed the silver finger to Jeno.
In his intuitive impression, Jeno's work is not only creative, but it is only okay, and the appearance is full of marks, but the expected power is far from reaching the passing line, not even half. If Jeno can't surprise him beyond his expectations, then the piece has no chance of passing the test.
"Uh, this...... I'm sorry, but I can't show it myself. Jeno squirmed and grabbed his cuffs, and said shyly.
Colin's hand froze in mid-air......
