140 -138- Powder also wants to be an idol

"Linwin, is this the solution you mentioned?"

In the conference room in Zaun, Camille sat elegantly in the first seat on the right, while Jayce and Mel sat in the third and fourth positions, deliberately keeping a distance from Camille.

The main reason was Camille's overpowering presence. Jayce and Mel felt a bit intimidated by her, partly because of hearing too many stories about her.

You see, Camille should be around 80 years old this year—a figure of the grandmother's generation.

Anyway, this time, three Piltover councilor came down, and if you count Linwin as the ninth councilor, it's four councilors in total. It was already a grand meeting.

Not to mention, on Jayce's opposite side were Powder and Silco.

Vander had something to do, and with Silco here, it was almost the same as having Vander.

As for why Powder was here?

She came for the fun of it.

The rest of the people, except for Camille, were called by Linwin.

As for why Camille was here, it was because of her current identity, similar to Linwin being a councilor in Piltover.

She was a representative from Piltover sent to Zaun to participate in Zaun's politics.

In any case, both city-states sent important figures to each other's cities to familiarize themselves with each other's city, aiming for better integration in the future.

This was also proposed by Camille.

Vander and Silco agreed.

"What, you don't believe it?"

"I certainly don't believe it. Singing? Singing can solve this issue? Are you joking with me?" Jayce said unkindly. "In my view, this matter requires an open welfare policy, allowing people from both cities to move around more. In a few years, once they get used to the current laws and no longer reject them, we can introduce the second law, then the third. In less than a dozen years, the new generation will grow up. After experiencing the benefits and treatment of both cities, they will surely let go of their hatred for each other."

Silco nodded but then shook his head, speaking, "Actually, Jayce is right. However, there are flaws in this plan."

Silco looked at Jayce and said, "Jayce, don't you think the time is too long? Over a dozen years? I want to know, how long do you think it takes for Noxus to come and attack?"

"Uh," Jayce hesitated.

Linwin looked at Jayce in silence and said, "Why do you always rush to conclusion?"

"Because I don't think singing can solve the problem! I can sing too. Do you think if I sing, I can also solve this problem?" Jayce questioned, frustrated.

"You're being stubborn, Jayce." Linwin gave Jayce a disdainful look, then continued, "She possesses a unique ability to infuse magic into her singing, improving people's moods. And Jayce, singing? You? Can your mediocre voice deliver a pleasant tune?"

"In the end, it's about magic?"

"Yes, precisely. Only she can use her singing to mend the relationship between our two cities." Linwin nodded, adding, "I've already convinced Seraphine. Despite her initial reluctance, possibly due to shyness, she agreed in the end."

"This is my new plan for the facilities in both cities! For this, Jayce, I need your help, especially since you're more skilled in this area than Viktor."

"Huh? Alright, tell me about it." Jayce nodded this time. When Linwin mentioned that he needed Jayce to do something related to this, Jayce already knew what was expected.

It was about creation!

Jayce's knowledge of Hextech was no longer superior to Viktor's. In fact, Viktor's understanding of Hextech surpassed Jayce's now. But what made Jayce superior was his creativity.

Jayce could connect things that seemed unrelated.

In essence, Jayce's hands-on skills might not be as strong as Viktor's, but his creativity far exceeded Viktor's.

So Jayce said to Linwin, "What do you need me to do? But let me make it clear, Linwin, I can only conduct experiments at night. After all, during the day, I have plenty of other things to take care of."

"I need you to create a mobile stage that can amplify and spread Seraphine's voice!"

Linwin said excitedly, "A super-large stage, at least three meters in size!"

This wasn't a game world. In the game, Seraphine riding a stage (wheelchair) was criticized, but this was reality!

Imagine, wearing a beautiful dress, holding a microphone, standing on a flying stage, a beautiful girl singing and dancing on it.

Who could resist such beauty? Could you?

If not, then wear white stockings or black stockings!

Can you still resist?

It's Seraphine we're talking about!

The Starry-Eyed Songstress!

You can mock her for riding a stage like a wheelchair in the game, which is disharmonious, but you cannot say her voice is unpleasant, and you definitely cannot deny her beauty!

"A mobile stage?"

"Yes! It must be a stage. Her performance must be seen live, heard live. Recording won't do; it would lose the magical power."

Jayce listened and immediately responded, "Hmm, this is actually not difficult. I've taken apart Hextech Hoverboards before, and I can use the principles of the Hextech Hoverboard to create this stage. It's just adding a sound amplification device on top."

"It's straightforward," Jayce confidently stated.

Who is he? He's Jayce Talis!

The founder of Hextech!

He's a man who changed the world!

"Amplification? Jayce, what I need is not just a simple amplification," Linwin quickly explained. "I need something that can transmit the sound throughout the entire city but still won't appear noisy."

"Linwin, do you know what you're saying right now?"

"But that's what I want, Jayce." Linwin looked at Jayce and said, "Seraphine's ability goes beyond your imagination. Those who heard her today may change their views of each other, but what about tomorrow? The day after tomorrow? Those who didn't hear it today might forget about it."

"So I need a stage that can spread her voice throughout the entire city, a massive stage!"

"Listen, recorded sound won't work. It must be live!"

"..."

Jayce fell silent.

What an unreasonable request!

But looking into Linwin's eyes, Jayce quickly surrendered. He sighed and said, "That's not a mechanical amplifier anymore, Linwin. That's a magical amplifier!"

"The sound can't be loud, but it needs to be clear to each person's ears, is that what you mean?" Jayce said loudly. When he saw Linwin nod, he couldn't help but chuckle, "That's magic! It requires the use of Hextech!"

"I don't care; I'm leaving it to you."

Linwin said with a smile, "I believe in you, Jayce."

"No, I can't do it." Jayce crossed his arms and said unenthusiastically, "You need to understand, your requirements include a mobile flying stage, and then you want to use the magical power of Hextech to spread her voice throughout the entire city, making it audible to everyone."

"Do you know how many Hextech gemstone this requires? Do you know how many runes need to be changed? Do you know how much electricity such a large cluster of Hextech crystals would require?"

"Are you kidding me? I don't have such a large mobile power source for you to use."

"However, if you can remove the flying and moving functions and change it to a fixed stage, maybe I can do it."

Jayce spoke a bunch in one breath.

What a joke!

A huge cluster of Hextech gemstone that could deliver clear sound to everyone's ears would mean what? It would be like placing a Hex phone in everyone's head!

Piltover didn't have such technology yet, and Zaun couldn't possibly have what Piltover didn't.

Linwin shook his head, "No, it won't work. If it can't move or fly, it loses its impact."

"Hm, wait a minute. Are you talking about an issue with electricity?"

"What else do you think?" Jayce replied unenthusiastically.

"Electricity!" Linwin clapped his hands. "Buy one, get one free!"

"So, Jayce, if there's someone who can charge the stage, can we create this device?"

"Wait. Linwin, do you know what you're saying?" Jayce looked at Linwin strangely. "You control wind magic, not electric magic, right?"

"I don't know electric magic, but someone does!" Linwin said loudly.

Thinking about the time before parting with Seraphine when Zeri shouted that she also wanted to help and be a city idol, Linwin hadn't taken it seriously.

To be an idol, you need the right skills!

Although Zeri looks cute, can she sing?

But now, Linwin found it impossible not to let Zeri participate.

A pink and purple idol group combined with yellow-green? Ha, what a rainbow!

Linwin shared this with Jayce with a smile.

Camille also listened with a strange expression, wondering if there were this many talents in Zaun.

And Silco was also stunned.

A girl who can generate electricity—why didn't he know about this? Why didn't anyone report it to him?

As for Jayce? Jayce was already used to it.

After getting to know Linwin, Jayce had seen too many abnormal things.

Regarding this, he said, "In that case, we can give it a try. A duo? Don't worry; the stage can be larger and even create a dynamic stage."

"Daily time will be dedicated to her to strengthen her control over magic, right?" Jayce rubbed his chin, eyes shining with inspiration. "Then I can design a foldable one. Since there's a girl who can use electric magic accompanying her, we don't need to worry about the power supply. Just store a few empty batteries."

"Alright, that's great!"

"How about making the stage five meters in size? Linwin, I think that would allow both of them to dance on it."

Jayce clapped his hands.

Looking at the confident Jayce, Linwin was also infected, nodding immediately.

But just at that moment, a small hand was raised.

"Wait!"

Everyone turned their heads, seeing the girl who had been silent and was swaying her head with shining eyes standing up beside Linwin.

Supporting the table with one hand and raising the other high, she shouted loudly:

"Powder also wants to be an idol!"
