Jorba agreed to issue us a certificate for purchasing firearms, but he immediately refused when it came to motorcycles, saying that such a mode of transportation was too expensive!

It turns out motorcycles are also made using Hextech, requiring more Primal Crystal than other items. Currently, only the Police Department in Piltover has ten of them. 👊😳 🎁💋

This motorcycle is very convenient; it can be folded into a very small size, requires no fuel, and generally has a lifespan of up to twenty years!

If more Primal Crystal are used during manufacturing, the lifespan will be even longer. The longest-serving one in the police department has been in use for eighteen years and is still in very good condition.

In unusual situations, when encountering mountains, swamps, or even cliffs and lakes, deformation needs to be activated, which will increase energy consumption.

However, Piltover police rarely go out, let alone ride motorcycles. The only unique feature is that getting to Zaun requires flying up and down.

"This is an original invention of the police department; it can't be made anywhere else in the world."

When Jorba talked about motorcycles, he became quite animated, and even this usually composed man couldn't help but feel a little proud, after all, it was a great invention.

Actually, I wasn't that interested in this kind of transportation at first; I just thought it would be fun to take a drive. But after listening to Jorba's introduction, I've become very interested.

This thing can not only travel on flat ground, but it can also transform into a boat when it encounters water and an airplane when it encounters a cliff. This is really too attractive!

As for expensive raw materials, they're nothing to us!

How many Primal Crystal are needed to manufacture this motorcycle?

"At least this big." Jorba gave me a thumbs-up, then bent it, looking at me meaningfully.

"Now that we've found such a large crystal, could you help us find someone to manufacture it?"

"This crystal isn't an ordinary mineral; it requires..."

"Excuse me for interrupting, but I've already heard about how to obtain it, the Primal Scorpion, right?"

"Since you know this, why are you still going to take the risk? It's not worth risking your lives for a tool."

"There's nothing I can do, I just like it so much."

"Alright then, just come find me after you find the Primal Crystal. I don't need anyone's help; this is our own technology!"

"It's a deal! Thanks in advance!"

"Forget about the thanks, but don't say I didn't warn you if Darius blames me later!"

"Should we leave him a will?"

We laughed, and Jorba issued a certificate for the purchase of the firearms. We thanked him and left.

Although I could easily pull out a bunch of Primal Crystal from my bag, it wouldn't be appropriate to do that; I'll just pretend.

We returned to the weapons shop and each picked out a small handgun; the silver barrels were engraved with exquisite patterns and were very beautiful.

The shop assistant told us that we could have gemstones added for an extra fee. I chose a sapphire, Riven chose a ruby. In total, it cost nearly four hundred gold coins, which was quite expensive.

"Let's give them names?" Riven toyed with the pistol, clearly enjoying it.

"The sapphire is clear and dazzling, like a lake or the dawn, let's call it 'Mingxin'; the ruby is transparent and captivating, like the sunset or longing, let's call it 'Guixin'."

"Mingxin and Guixin, that's wonderful! I've always thought the names you chose were beautiful, just like my Blade of Exile."

I smiled and didn't tell her that it was originally her name.

After buying the pistol, we returned to the desert the same way we came, and saw treasure hunters coming and going, some happy and some worried.

Those who went in were all carrying loads of equipment, full of fighting spirit and high morale. Some were even singing as they walked. They were clearly amateurs. What kind of hunters are so lively?

Those who emerged either looked worried and angry, or exhausted, and a few even seemed nervous. They had probably gained something, as they all bore injuries of varying degrees, paying the price for their efforts.

We took a quick stroll around the perimeter and then went back to the police station; the whole thing took no more than half a day.

Seeing that we were back so quickly, Jorba was surprised. "Back so soon? You still smell of sand on you, did you give up?"

"Is this the Primal Crystal you were talking about?" I placed two finger-sized crystals on Jorba's table, along with another, smaller one.

He picked it up and looked at it with disbelief. Then he used some kind of instrument to test it, and it was indeed Primal Crystal!

"Damn it, where did you find it?"

"On a desert scorpion."

"In such a short time, you not only made a round trip across the desert, but also found the Primal Scorpion and subdued it?"

"As you said."

Jorba was so surprised he didn't know what to say. After a while, he calmed down and personally poured us a glass of water.

"Actually, Hextech Motorcycle aren't as good as you think. Riding one requires a certain skill; firstly, the balance alone is something not everyone can master..."

Jorba went on and on, just moments ago praising it as an invention the police department was proud of, and now he's belittling it. Is he trying to get us to give up?

"Um... excuse me, Sheriff, are there enough crystals to make two motorcycles?"

"Is... is that enough?" He veered off course, and I became even more certain that he was trying to bribe our crystal!

"Sheriff, you're not going to back out, are you? We even prepared a small crystal as a thank you gift. If you're not willing to help, we can find someone else."

"Wait! You're Darius's men, Darius is my friend, how could I go back on my word! Besides, only the police department in Piltover can manufacture motorcycles, it won't help you anywhere else!"

"So you're willing to help us?"

"Sigh, to be honest, I really want to buy the crystals you have to strengthen the police station, but I'm too embarrassed to force you. Since you've already agreed, I'll do you this favor."

"Thank you!" Riven was excited, and I was happy too.

"But you said this little crystal was a gift for me, are you serious?" Jorba was a little skeptical of what I said; he didn't believe anyone would be so generous.

"Of course, you can put it away now. I wonder if you are satisfied with this reward?"

"Of course I'm satisfied! After dealing with Darius for so many years, you two are the only ones who have brought me any benefit! And a significant one at that!"

Jorba picked up the crystal and left, telling us to wait in the office; outsiders weren't allowed into the Hextech factory.

He returned after a while and told us that we could receive the goods in three days. His excitement was no less than ours.

"To be honest, we haven't seen such high-quality Primal Crystal in a long time. Right now, even a tiny fragment can sell for tens of thousands of gold coins on the market."

"Tens of thousands of gold coins?!"
