Passive

The Piltover Police Department is responsible for law and order throughout the city.

To be precise, even the Zaun area is included. After all, from the beginning, the two cities were integrated, but some accidents occurred later, causing the entire Zaun to fall into Piltover's Canal.

Of course, in a chaotic place like Zaun, most of the time, it doesn't obey the police.

In the prosperous city of Piltover, there are usually some people from Zaun who roam the streets and steal sheep.

Hundreds of thefts, big and small, happen in all jurisdictions every month. Most of the time, the prisoners are people from the city of Zaun.

The Piltover Police Department didn't bother talking to them. As long as these mobs didn't cause too much trouble or threaten Piltover's residents, they turned a blind eye to whatever the people from Zaun did.

Grayson's jurisdiction is near the academy area. Thanks to the deal with Vander, the area with the best law and order in Piltover is the one under Grayson's jurisdiction.

Most of the time, Grayson just needs to walk around and put on a show; no serious patrol is needed.

But today is different. The explosion just happened, and it's a time when people are panicking.

So tonight, they had to take it seriously. Besides Grayson and Marcus, there were at least ten teams of two-person patrols throughout the academic area.

They made sure the residents of the Academy District slept soundly tonight.

A night of patrolling can feel long, but in the blink of an eye, the sky clears.

Returning to the enforcer's lobby with Grayson, changing into his daily clothes, Marcus headed back to his rented home.

One thing, Marcus didn't lie to Vi and the others. He truly is an orphan.

In other words, the Marcus of this world is an orphan.

And his parents were indeed killed in the riots six years ago.

As an ordinary cop, Marcus's income isn't much higher than that of common people in Piltover. Some skilled craftsmen earn bags or even hundreds of times his income.

With modest earnings and little inheritance from his old parents, Marcus could only rent an apartment.

The space isn't big, just enough for one person.

It was thanks to Grayson that he managed to rent a decent apartment. The face of a sheriff is sometimes useful.

Lying on the not-so-great mattress, Marcus rubbed his forehead, exhausted. A night's patrol had taken a toll on him.

Fortunately, the experience of being transmigrated for more than a few hours as an enforcer cop in another world had given him the ability to stay up all night.

---

After finishing work, Marcus had less than nine hours to rest, and in the afternoon, he would go with Grayson to the scene of the bombing in the university district.

While he's free now, he only wants to think about the so-called system.

Closing his eyes, his consciousness slowly sank into a certain space, and a simple page appeared in his mind.

[Almighty System] This not-so-flashy system name reveals that its essence won't be as crazy and cool as those new systems Marcus had read about, and its function is more about single-skill exchanges!

There's no lottery function as seen in system novels, nor any skill to enhance one's physique like a point-addition system.

The only thing the Almighty System can do is exchange all the abilities of heroes that appeared in every League of Legends game.

Looking at the densely packed ability icons on the interface, Marcus noticed that most of the abilities were locked by two crossed chains, with a 'lock' symbol in the center.

This shows that he can't redeem most of the abilities, and the method to unlock them is still unclear.

Scrolling down, some lit-up ability icons finally appeared, but the status of these displayed abilities left Marcus a little confused.

[To the Skies!/Shock Blast (requires prerequisite ability: Mercury Hammer/Mercury Cannon)]

[Mercury Hammer/Mercury Cannon (requires prerequisite ability: Hextech Capacitor)]

[Hextech Capacitor (Convertible)]

The first ability, Marcus knew, was Jayce Tallis's Q in the game, and the condition for casting this ability was based on Jayce's exclusive weapon "Mercury Hammer/Cannon" (R ability), so if he wanted to exchange Q, he needed to exchange R first.

ER is built on Hextech Capacitors, and producing Hextech Capacitors requires relatively mature Hextech...

Marcus looked at the convertible "Hextech Capacitor" and felt a bit uneasy.

If I exchange for this, will the system give me a blueprint to research and build it myself?

After studying other abilities for half an hour, Marcus confirmed this idea.

Certain abilities based on 'equipment' have disabled prerequisites, and after exchanging the prerequisites, the system gives you a blueprint to make it.

Why is this clear?

Because he had just exchanged Viktor's passive ability [Glorious Evolution]!

The system met his expectations and gave him a thick notebook. After opening it, he saw mature Hextech core designs with words and diagrams...

It's said to be a perfect formula, but it's actually a drawing!

Not even the research and development technology of Hextech or related materials are included!

"I'm regretting it, okay?"

Marcus looked at the heavy notebook in his hand with a bitter expression.

He successfully redeemed this ability because the system gave him one free chance to redeem it for the first time.

Next, if he wants to continue with the corresponding abilities, he must spend 'points.'

The way to earn points is simple too, either get money or some specific items to 'recharge' with the system.

It's even easier to recharge. The common currency in Valoran is gold. One point equals one gram of gold, and one gram of gold equals about 1 Piltover coin. Marcus's monthly salary is only 4000 Piltover coins, which is roughly equal to 4000 points.

And his monthly rent is two thousand three...

"Can you recharge more than 100 points without eating or drinking for an entire year?"

Marcus looked in despair at the prices in the thousands or thousands of points, his lips trembling uncontrollably.

"Am I going to risk my life to exchange it... or not?"

Lamenting his unjust fate compared to time travelers in novels, his eyes fell on the thick notebook, and a thought sparked in his heart.

Maybe...

Redeeming [Glorious Evolution] instead has brought me a glimmer of hope by mistake? A ray of hope to make money!

"It seems that an afternoon meeting is imperative."

Marcus placed the notebook, drawing the hope of life, next to his pillow, went to the bathroom, and took a shower, washing away the exhaustion caused by a night of patrolling.

Setting the alarm clock, he buried himself under a feather-filled quilt and fell asleep in no time.
