Schlem didn't like Piltover, but he didn't like Zaun even more.

If it weren't for Zaun, he would probably have been happier in Piltover—his damn origins were pretty much the thing Schlem hated the most.

Zuan, you are so poor and dilapidated, why is it my home?

It's all because Zuan is too bad, and he will only be looked down upon before Piltover!

As Schlem grew up, he began to yearn for wealth, and only wealth could erase his mark.

Get ahead!

In order to get rid of the "Zuan" label on himself, Schlem showed his identity as a Piltover everywhere - from the tone of his speech to the fact that he must have afternoon tea; From regular life to Hex's prosthetic ......

Schreem, consciously or unconsciously, added all sorts of Piltover logos to himself.

Zaun and Mrs. Piltworth were basically the same, so Schlem's disguise was hidden from almost everyone, even himself.

Lately, however, Schrem felt as if he had woken up from a wonderful dream.

Zuan, the hopeless Zuan of Schlemm, actually raised his eyebrows inexplicably.

And the first army of Piltover was reversed!

This army meant a lot to Schrem – it completely cut off his grey income.

Damn Zuan, why can't you always get along with me?!

The colleagues around them became listless, they couldn't figure out the situation at all, and they didn't even know why they couldn't make extra money - their natural arrogance made the Picheng guys habitually self-centered, and they didn't think of Zaan as a city with their own will.

So, after the boredom subsided, the gossip of the entire Hex Crystal Quality Inspection Division prevailed - and then I don't know who got the news from where, and Schrem's origin was spread by everyone.

Many colleagues came to Schlem and asked about everything about Zaun, and it seems that after the Zaun embargo, everything about Zaun became popular in Piltover.

But in the epicenter of the epidemic, Schrem was not happy at all.

These heartless colleagues did not discriminate against Schlem because of this - they were all adults, and they would not simply exclude and amplify this emotion like children, but that simple curiosity completely aroused Schlerm's anger.

But the habit that had always kept Schrem restrained.

In front of his colleagues, Schlem kept an indisputable smile, but in private he scolded everyone who asked him.

Bastards, all bastards!

Wrapped up in his coat again, Schlem stepped on the doorstep of his house.

It's finally home - after Evolution Day, it's still getting colder.

……………………

The warmth of family relaxes Slime.

His wife, Senas, was making a big meal out of the multi-purpose food processor she had bought not long ago—she began to express her happiness to Schlem when the culinary world began to grill Schlerm's favorite mammoth lamb chops, and thankfully the machine was bought early, and the price of all Hex's products had recently increased.

Schlemm, on the other hand, frowned slightly.

At the dinner table, Slime's youngest son mentions that all school activities have been cancelled recently because of "material supply difficulties", and then tries to ask Slime what exactly happened.

Schlem felt himself getting more and more agitated.

It seems that Zu An has unwittingly become a shadow in his life, a fishbone stuck in his throat - he can't spit it out, he can't swallow it.

As Schrem tried to calm himself down with a deep breath, a knock on the door gave him a reason to leave for a while.

Opening the door, Schlem saw a guy in a long trench coat and a wide-brimmed top hat.

"Is this the home of Mr. Schrem, the executive councilor?"

Schrem hadn't seen this guy, but he chose to nod anyway.

"Sorry to interrupt - it's really the quality inspection department is off work today, and I have something here that I need your help with."

Schlem keenly sensed the Zuan accent in the man's tone, which he was trying to hide, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Schrem instinctively didn't want to get involved with this guy, but...... There is no doubt that this guy has a good chance of bringing in a big deal.

"Senas, give this gentleman a cup of tea—well, I think we need to go to the study to talk about these things at work."

……………………

In the study, Schlem carefully observed the guy drinking black tea.

Add a lot of sugar and drink it hot in small sips – but very quickly.

It used to be Schlerm's preference — but he switched to a slower, more Piltover style — unsweetened, slow, savored.

Now, Schrem is eight points sure, this guy is from Zaun, and the purpose is to wash a batch of Hex magic crystals!

And this kind of person is also the favorite of the quality inspection department.

"I wonder why this gentleman found me at this time?"

"My name is Gary Vickers, and I'm here in Piltover to sell a batch of Hex Crystals - but the ship is a little late, and the Quality Inspection Department is already off."

The guy who called himself Gary Vickers was unexpectedly frank and unabashedly explained his intentions, even making a five-five gesture secretly.

Sure enough, it was a Zaun, or a subordinate of the Alchemy Baron, because this gesture represented ......

Wash the white crystal, fifty-fifty points!

Schlem's breathing suddenly became rapid.

There is no doubt that in this kind of fifty-fifty business, the crystal is either of unknown origin or has quality problems, and it takes a lot of effort for Schrem to pass the quality inspection.

But at the same time, the profits are staggering.

Especially now that Hex Crystals are scarce, if this guy brings enough goods...... Your own earnings will be substantial!

What, you say he's a Zaun?

Whoever can bring money to Schlem can be his family!

The two of them happily made a deal, and then agreed to move on to the next step after seeing the goods.

As Gary Vickers leaves, Schreem's youngest son wonders why Dad would be so affectionate with someone who has almost all the habits he doesn't like.

And Schlem was completely unaware of the difference in his youngest son, but touched his head and said, "Strange, this is your Uncle Gary Vickers - call uncle!" ”
