Piltover, Evolution Day, Exhibition Area.
"Tomorrow's Evolution Day looks like it will be very lively!"
"Yes, all sorts of novel creations and emerging ideas are appearing!"
"I think the most stunning is still Colin Workshop. If you don't believe me, look, their spot this year is in the central area, and it's one of the best locations!"
"Do you have a way?"
"The Zaun wanderer he casually picked up from the roadside a few years ago has now become a honored guest of various major families and even the entire council. Every faction is praising him!"
"Once the Clockwork Exoskeleton is released, the entire clockwork field will usher in a new wave!"
"Speaking of Colin's, we have to mention Talis's!"
"Yes, what a pity!"
"It is said that during the evaluation meeting, the experimental demonstration went wrong and blasted through the dome of the venue!"
"Hey, what's that in the sky?"
A craftsman looked up at the sky and let out a soft exclamation, pointing at a figure streaking across the sky. The others followed his gaze and saw a blue and red figure in the sky, soaring freely like a bird.
"Whose new flying machine is that?"
"Without a stable energy supply, flying machines are still just theoretical on paper!"
"But that really looked like a technological creation!"
"Where's the telescope? Who's getting me the telescope?"
Everyone fumbled around, picked up the telescope, and looked towards the sky, only to find that the blue and red figure had already vanished without a trace.
"Sigh, I didn't get a clear look!"
"Maybe it was just an illusion, mistaking some big bird for a flying machine!"
"I can confirm, that was definitely a man-made object!"
.....
Zaun, the Rift.
Duke, flying through the Rift in his battle armor, felt the air currents being cut apart by him. The levitation rune set and propulsion rune set installed on his battle armor worked exceptionally stably, allowing him to break free from the shackles of gravity and achieve humanity's age-old dream.
To fly in the sky.
"Look there, what's that?"
"My heavens, is that a mechanical puppet?"
"It's clearly a person wearing battle armor!"
"But how is that possible?"
....
The residents of Zaun also noticed Duke flying in the Rift and started discussing it, with some children even chasing him with curious eyes.
Duke ignored these discussions and instead whispered, "Vali, increase the power output of the energy unit, I'm going to ascend!"
The battle armor itself responded, "Alright, Father!"
"Call me sir!"
"Alright, My Lord Father!"
"Tin can head!"
Regarding the consciousness born in the battle armor due to his magic talent and its way of addressing him, Duke had corrected it many times since the tests began, but this tin can head simply wouldn't listen.
So Duke very simply gave him the name Vali, simple and adorably foolish!
"Did I just create a son for myself?"
Duke, finding it amusing in his heart, adjusted himself. The rune set received magic and provided a more powerful ascent effect. Duke kept his hands close to his sides, ascending rapidly like a Rocket, finally landing on a reef by the sea.
"Open the armor, Vali, I need to air out!"
A seam appeared on the surface of the battle armor. After the armor plates opened, Duke stepped out. He stretched vigorously and looked at Vali, whose armor plates were still open, and said helplessly, "Close the armor, alert mode!"
"Alright, Father!"
"You…" Duke wanted to say something, but considering that this little guy hadn't been born for more than two hours, all his words turned into a long sigh: "Forget it, call me whatever you want!"
"Yes, Father!"
Duke looked at the battle armor standing on the reef, opened the system panel, pulled up Iron Man's personal quest, and seeing the countdown of only a month and a half remaining, he decisively designated Vali as the target and chose to submit the quest.
"Are you sure you want to submit?"
"You can perform a trial run, 3/3 chances."
Looking at the two lines of text that popped up on the system panel, Duke rubbed his chin. To be safe, he chose to abandon the submission and instead perform a trial run.
"Judging in progress, please wait....."
Duke watched the ebb and flow of the tide, quietly waiting for the system panel to judge his number one battle armor—Vali.
A moment later, the system panel issued a detection report. Duke opened it directly, looking at the report with anticipation, but the more he read, the uglier his expression became.
"After judgment, the creation's level is B++, the minimum requirement for passing the quest is A. Please continue to work hard."
