LOL: Summoner of Goddess Janna

Piltover, Zaun community,

This is the place where Levi "came into the world" and is also the earliest base of the Wind Leader Association.

It means a lot to Levi. But when the leader steps out of this small Zaun community and begins to move towards the wider world, as the helmsman of this giant ship, Levi's eyes have to turn to more distant and grand places.

What he studies every day are rows of astronomical economic data, dazzling work reports from various places, and social changes that are happening all over the world and affect the fate of hundreds of millions of people.

The Zaun community is too small, and he hasn't been back to see it for a long time.

But at this moment, in order to pay tribute to that friend, Levi suddenly wanted to come back and see again.

He flew away from the celebration square, leaving the bustling, joyful scene far behind him.

He flew over the newly built wide roads and high-rise buildings in Zu'an, and flew over the canal bridge that no longer had checkpoints separating the two cities and the "sky chasm" became a thoroughfare. He flew over the magnificent sun. Gate sea gate.

Finally, Levi arrived at the Zaun community.

The community streets here have long been clean and bright after being cleaned and transformed by the leaders.

But the buildings in this community still look as dilapidated and dilapidated as they did then.

This is not surprising.

Because these buildings, including the dilapidated apartment building where Levi once rented, were all built spontaneously by the land owners during the Piltover plutocratic period.

The Zaun community used to be the most obscene slum. The apartment buildings erected here will certainly not be very beautiful after so many years of use with little maintenance.

So at first glance, it still looks like a rot in the city. It's just not as chaotic and dirty.

"It's still pretty much the same as before..." Levi muttered.

"Yeah, but it's going to be different soon," Janna reminded.

The old apartment buildings in the Zaan community that were built in the old era have a designed living area per household that is too small, and are simply not suitable for human habitation in terms of comfort.

Therefore, the Leader Association has long planned to completely demolish and renovate a series of substandard "pigeon cage" apartments, including the Zaun community.

It's just that the housing resources in Zaun were too tight before, and construction investment was mainly concentrated in Zaun, and no attention was paid to the renovation of the old city in Piltover.

Now, the upper floors of those old apartments have been painted with eye-catching white paint with a big word - "Demolish".

This indicates that this community is about to be completely reborn. It will be used to build more livable low-rent housing and low-cost housing to improve people's living environment.

"We have achieved some results." Thinking of this, Levi couldn't help but feel happy.

Although leaders still face many problems, they have at least made the world a better place.

"At least, when outsiders come to Picheng to work hard now, they don't have to be like Lina and I, two people crowded into a 5-square-meter hut like a pigeon cage... Haha." Levi smiled deeply.

"Uh..." Janna didn't continue.

As a goddess who listens to the prayers of millions of people, she knows thousands of times more than Levi.

It's just that Li Wei couldn't handle so many things by himself, and the president couldn't personally take care of every corner of the grassroots level, so she didn't tell him about the various problems she noticed. Otherwise, even if he listened to it for ten days and ten nights, he still wouldn't be able to finish it.

"What?" Levi was still puzzled.

I just heard a burst of excited shouting: "President Levi! Hey! It's President Levi!"

I saw that it was in the dilapidated apartment building where he lived, and even in the 5-square-meter rental house where Levi died suddenly.

A teenager was crowding in front of the narrow window of the rental house, waving to him excitedly.

Levi: "..."

"President!" The young man waved to Levi with admiration.

He tried hard to lean out of the window and get closer to the idol flying in mid-air.

But the window of the rental house was so narrow that he couldn't even squeeze his head out.

Helpless, the young man could only say to Levi through the small window like a bird trapped in a cage: "President! Why are you here?"

Levi: "..."

He looked the boy up and down.

He is very similar to the original Levi, with black hair and eyes, a solid but thin body, and a look of exhaustion on his face, but there is more optimism and sunshine in his eyes.

"Are you from Ionia?" Levi heard his accent.

"Yes." The young man nodded hastily: "I am from Balu'e Province."

"How are your parents and family?"

"It's gone. It was gone when the Noxians came." He replied in a natural tone: "Without the Wind Leader, I might have died a long time ago."

"After the war, you should have been assigned fields in Balu'e, right?" Li Wei asked with concern.

"Yeah!" The young man nodded gratefully.

He said sheepishly: "It's just...it's really not profitable to farm in my hometown."

"So I rented the fields to fellow villagers in the same village and followed them to Shuangcheng to work hard."

This is not surprising. The Baru'e people are the first to come into contact with leaders and are the most yearning for modern life. Therefore, after the war ended, many Barua people left their hometowns and came to work in Shuangcheng.

Levi can understand this. but...

"Why do you live here?" He finally couldn't help but ask: "Aren't there public low-rent houses and low-cost houses in Shuangcheng that you can apply for? Why are you still renting here?"

The rent of low-rent housing is very low, and as long as you have a job in the Twin Cities, you can definitely afford it.

Low-cost houses are sold with 0 down payment, and the price is so cheap that it is equivalent to half sale and half free, so there is no possibility of being unable to repay the loan.

"This..." The boy hesitated.

Then he said frankly: "Public housing resources are too scarce."

"Low-rent housing requires a lottery and low-rent housing has to be queued. How can I wait?"

The pioneers have indeed been vigorously building public housing in the Twin Cities, but plans have not kept pace with changes and design capacity has not kept pace with the surge in actual demand.

Thanks to the efforts of the Wind Leader Association, Runeterra has gradually become one.

Ionia opened its borders, Demacia reopened sea trade, and the Shurima and Freljord people finally moved their eyes away from the desolate deserts and ice sheets and began to open their eyes to see the world.

As a result, Zaun and Piltover, the only modern metropolises in the world, became the real cities that the world longed for.

Countless farmers who were liberated from the land, herdsmen who left their tribes, and slaves who regained their freedom all spent their money to buy tickets to the Twin Cities with their yearning for a better life.

With the influx of so many immigrants, the public housing units built by the pioneers in the Twin Cities suddenly seemed a little stretched.

"But..." Levi couldn't help but ask: "Even if the public low-rent housing is not available, then the private rental price is not expensive, right?"

The leaders have put so many low-rent and low-cost houses on the market. Of course, the residential property prices in the Twin Cities will not be too high.

Correspondingly, the rent for privately rented houses will not be that expensive.

Levi paid attention to this.

Theoretically, as long as a person can find a job in the Twin Cities and earn the legal minimum wage, he will be able to afford a small rental house with one bedroom and one living room.

"Why don't you rent a bigger house?" Levi asked.

Perhaps thinking of something, he added and asked: "To save more money?"

"Yes, yes... I'm trying to save money." The young man's eyes flickered, and his expression suddenly seemed a little unnatural.

Levi noticed something. It seems that this young man did not take the initiative to lower his living conditions just to save more money.

He immediately asked: "How much do you earn per month?"

"1,000 yuan...President."

Because the goddess Janna has proven the "credibility" of the Wind Leader with her strength, the Wind Leader directly leads Runeterra from the precious metal currency era to the credit currency era.

The 1,000 yuan the boy mentioned refers to the latest Blue Bird coin issued by the alliance.

This number is also the legal minimum wage in the Twin Cities. If converted back to the silver wheels and copper coins of the past, it would probably be equivalent to several times Li Wei's monthly salary back then.

Although this income cannot be said to be very high, it can be regarded as an amount that allows people to live decently in the Twin Cities.

But...

"Really?" Levi looked at the slightly panicked young man suspiciously: "Do you really have a monthly income of 1,000 yuan?"

"I..."

"Tell the truth." Levi comforted: "If you have any difficulties, just tell me and I won't harm you."

"No..." the boy finally said: "I can't earn 1,000 a month. I only have..."

"500."

"500?" Levi's blood pressure soared.

"Why is there so much less?" He asked quickly: "Where do you work?"

State-owned enterprises in the twin cities are all run by leaders, and medium and large private enterprises have also accepted joint ventures and established branches within the enterprises.

It is impossible for them to violate the standards set by the leaders and so blatantly deduct wages from their employees.

"I, I don't work in a regular big factory..." Sure enough, the young man answered: "I work in the kitchen of a small restaurant."

"Small restaurant?" Of course, the leaders of these small and micro enterprises will not send people to keep an eye on them all the time.

"But your boss deducts your salary like this, and even only pays you half of the legal minimum wage. Why don't you report it?"

The Wind Leader's law enforcement officers are not Piltover law enforcement officers. They don't just turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye after taking bribes from businessmen.

As long as the employees are willing to expose it, the unscrupulous boss will definitely be severely punished.

"Severe punishment?" The young man was shocked: "No, no, no... President, please don't embarrass my boss."

"It's not that I don't report it, it's that I don't want to report it. My boss is willing to keep me here, so I have to thank him..."

"This..." Levi looked at him thoughtfully.

The young man sighed helplessly: "Zu'an and Pi City are good, but it's just too difficult to take root."

"It's not just public low-rent housing that's in demand here - it's not easy for outsiders to find a regular job here."

This is exactly what Levi had talked to Mrs. Gila Mann before.

The current Runeterra has too many people and too few industrial seeds. There are many people who want to work in factories, but there are only a few factories.

"I'm just a country boy from Ionia, and I can't even speak Valoran fluently..." The boy said, "Those factories don't want me, so I can only work illegally in small restaurants."

That's why he won't report the boss.

After reporting the boss, no one would dare to hire illegal workers. Then they would lose their jobs completely and have no choice but to go back to their hometown in Ionia.

"But..." Li Wei asked again: "Leaders have free vocational and technical training."

"Why don't you sign up?"

In order to accommodate the large number of people who have poured into the Twin Cities in a short period of time and solve the resulting unemployment problem, Leaders has been working hard to provide free vocational and technical training.

Not only do they learn knowledge and skills for free, but they are also assigned jobs after graduation. When the custodians come, they have food to eat, and when they leave, they have classes.

"This..." The boy scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

He said: "I heard that everyone who goes to participate in the training must sign a targeted employment agreement."

"After they graduate, they will participate in the 'Second Line Construction' program and work in overseas areas such as Ionia and Noxus."

Leaders can provide free training, but the Twin Cities are so big and there are so many companies, so many jobs can be created out of thin air.

Even if those new immigrants can become qualified workers through free training, it will still be difficult for them to find jobs in the Twin Cities.

Regions such as Noxus and Demacia are vigorously developing industry and require the support of a large number of skilled workers.

Therefore, the leaders simply put the immigration issue and "second-line construction" together to solve the problem, and directed the unemployed people who received free training back to their hometowns overseas to work.

Many people are willing to accept it. After all, the salary of foreign aid workers is no worse than working in Shuangcheng.

But some people still don't want to go back. Because after signing the contract, you have to work overseas for many years, and there is a high probability that you will never be able to leave.

"I finally came out of Ionia, how could I run back?" the young man said a little unwillingly.

"But..." Levi looked at the young man trapped in the pigeon cage in front of him; "Isn't it hard?"

"I'm not afraid of hardship." The young man said, "My dream is to stay in Shuangcheng and own a house of my own in Shuangcheng."

"I'm also learning Valoran on my own now, and I'm also trying to find a better job - I believe I can put down roots here."

As he said that, he looked at Levi nervously: "President...I'm telling you this, can you not embarrass my boss?"

"Please, I really don't want to lose this job."

Levi: "..."

There was a helpless silence.

"Don't worry..." He sighed: "I won't do it."

.............................

After a long time, Levi bid farewell to the boy and slowly flew into the sky.

He originally came back on a whim to pay homage to the former Levi. Unexpectedly, he would meet a new era "Levi" here again.

The salute of the grand celebration has already sounded over this bustling city.

Everyone was celebrating this great moment, but Levi's mood seemed a little low.

"What I flew before was still a little too high..." He sighed overlooking the city.

"No, Levi." Janna's ethereal voice sounded softly in his mind: "You did a good enough job."

"That young man is not the same as Levi."

"What's the difference?" Levi shook his head mockingly: "They are still living in pigeon cages and working illegal jobs."

Janna replied solemnly: "It's different."

"He had hope in his eyes."

"This..." Levi was speechless.

If he didn't know Janna well, he would have suspected that the goddess was being arrogant.

"I'm serious." Janna said: "Compared with the original apprentice Li Wei, their future is promising."

Levi's only hope back then was his talented sister who was admitted to Pi City University. But a minor illness left him short of money, and he faced the desperate situation of being driven back to Zaun, completely dashing his hopes.

And 99% of the Zaun people don't have such a talented sister. They don't even have the chance to dream.

But that boy was different.

There are many paths he can take.

He can sign up for free vocational training at any time and accept the assigned job;

He can slowly learn the language and knowledge by himself, and strive to find a job, instead of being immediately kicked out by the Piltover law enforcement officers because he cannot pay the rent;

He is also eligible to participate in the low-cost housing lottery and hopes to own his own place in the Twin Cities;

And even if he takes a step back, even if he can't take root in the Twin Cities and can only return to Ionia, then he will still have the land allocated by the leader in his hometown, and he will not starve or freeze no matter what.

Unlike the original apprentices in Zaun, when he returned to Zaun, he could only work as a workhorse for the Alchemist Baron and wasted his life in the flesh and blood factory.

And if we talk from an optimistic perspective:

As long as this young man can successfully stay in Shuangcheng, find a regular job, and buy a low-cost public house through lottery, then he will become a decent resident of the capital and a "new Shuangcheng native" that everyone envies!

Where could such an easily accessible opportunity for advancement have existed before?

"But..." Levi sighed helplessly: "Is this enough?"

"How big is this tree in Shuangcheng? Can it accommodate a few sparrows turned into phoenixes?"

"Yes, Demacia, Noxus, Ionia... other places are also developing. Prosperous cities are rising from the ground. Everyone in this era can see hope."

"But what about the future? What about the next era?"

The boy's story touched him.

The problem is already evident now and will only become more serious in the future.

“I know what we’re doing and what we can accomplish.”

“We can lift hundreds of millions of poor people out of extreme poverty, enable tens of millions of people to live a modern life, enable everyone to afford to read, and enable everyone to afford meat... "

This is a great achievement that our predecessors have not been able to achieve in ten thousand years. This is great.

"But it's not enough." Levi sighed.

One day, the teenagers living in rented houses will find that there is no hope before them, only an insurmountable class gap.

The beautiful modern life has liberated their minds, broadened their horizons, and allowed them to see what the sky looks like, but it cannot give them the wings to fly into the sky.

They will eventually find that they are still trapped in chains.

When Mrs. Gila Mann asked him "What to do in the future?", he only said vaguely: "Let's deal with the future in the future."

Because Li Wei himself didn't know how to solve it.

He had been learning from the experiences of his ancestors and imitating their paths.

But now, he has no stone to touch, and the leaders of the road ahead have to go on their own.

The future decisions of leaders will determine the fate of hundreds of millions of people. Faced with such an important change, Levi did not dare to say that he was right, and no one dared to say that he was definitely right.

What Li Wei now envisions is that if the leader governs and the machine becomes intelligent, he will be able to achieve great harmony.

But the ancestors also imagined that the leader of the government and comprehensive electrification would be Janna.

Previous attempts have not been successful. No one can guarantee that what Levi is thinking now is right.

He couldn't see clearly how the future would go.

"Levi, you don't have to belittle yourself." Janna comforted her: "I think what you said to Mrs. Gila Mann before is the correct answer -"

"The level of social development and productivity in the future are still unknown. Whatever we say now is empty talk."

"Let's deal with the future matters in the future."

"So..." Li Wei sighed helplessly: "We can only believe in the wisdom of future generations?"

"Why not?" Janna tilted her head in confusion: "We are leaders. Aren't our descendants also leaders?"

"Contradictions are always changing. After one problem is solved, a new one will arise. This is the rule."

"As long as we and our descendants continue to work hard to solve problems, we have no fear of not being able to move forward."

Levi heard a moment of silence.

"Yes." He also became optimistic: "You are right, Janna."

"With you here, and with your thread of faith ensuring everyone's faith, we can move forward forever."

"No -" Janna corrected in a serious tone: "Comrade Levi."

"Even if there is no Janna in this world and there is no thread of faith, human beings will definitely move towards the Lord Janna."

Because the main idea cannot solve its own problems.

If a person has a peaceful life, there must be ten people carrying a heavy burden in places he cannot see.

If one country is rich and developed, there must be ten other countries that are suffering and under pressure where they cannot see it.

The people of Piltover can find 10,000 reasons to say that their theory is correct and that Janna Lord Yi is just the delusion of those who hate the rich.

But the Zaun people, who make up the vast majority of the population, will see through their hypocrisy sooner or later and find the right direction.

Because no matter how good the Piltover theory seems, it is impossible to build the whole world into Piltover.

People may go through a lot of hard work to build their hometown into a "Pi City" so that they can live a good life like the people in Pi City.

But in the vast world outside "Pi City", there will always be many Zauns. You become a Piltover, what about us?

"One day, people will realize:"

"They must move forward and change, otherwise they can only sink in this historical cycle forever, repeating the sad cycle of 'class solidification - conflict outbreak - reshuffling - class solidification' again and again."

"Predecessors may have failed, may have made mistakes, and may have encountered numerous ups and downs."

"But the ideals of the leader will never fade, and people will never stop exploring - Lord Janna will definitely be able to realize it, even if it takes a thousand years!"

Janna's voice was firm and powerful.

She flew in front of Levi like a blue bird, like a beacon guiding the course.

"Janna..." Levi was so touched that he couldn't speak.

He was silent for a long time and then said: "You are already the real goddess Jana and my leader."

"No." Janna quietly transformed into a human form and flew side by side with him: "I am not your god, I am your comrade."

"Well, comrade." Levi chewed the word.

Then he solemnly said: "Cancel the Summoner Contract."

"What?" Goddess Janna froze.

She felt that the unbreakable spiritual connection between herself and Levi disappeared in this moment.

The Summoner Contract has been terminated?

"Well..." Levi nodded: "Although I don't understand the principle, it can be lifted by me on my own initiative."

"From today on, I am not your summoner, and I can no longer order you -"

"Janna, you are free."

Janna was not happy about this, she just looked over in confusion: "Why?"

"I believe you. It's not necessary."

"No, this is necessary." Levi said seriously: "Janna, you should be the faith of all mankind, a just and selfless god, not someone's slave."

Before that, Levi had been reluctant to let go.

He wanted to retain his connection to Janna and retain this vast divine power.

That divine power was baptizing his body every moment, allowing him to be reborn, to have a body comparable to that of a god, and to fight for the cause of the Wind Leader.

but now...

"Mr. Yu, the leader no longer needs my combat power."

"In selfishness...I am the leader, and I should not have such selfishness."

Levi looked at his goddess with relief: "Janna, from today on, we are truly comrades."

Janna's eyes were filled with ripples and she was silent for a long time.

Finally, she nodded solemnly: "Yes."

Then, she took Levi's hand. That familiar vast divine power returned to his body once again.

"You..." Levi was slightly startled: "What did you do?"

"I have chosen you as my Chosen One," Janna said.

The Chosen Ones are not ordinary believers, but rather integrated into a part of God, an extension of God's will in the human world.

Star spirits use a similar method to seize mortals' bodies and walk in the world.

But Janna did not seize the body, nor did she turn Levi into her puppet.

She just shared a billion points of power with Li Wei, just like before.

"Why?" Levi's expression was complicated: "You don't need me anymore, Janna."

"No." Janna said seriously: "I still need your summoned beast."

"Next time we fight, you should fight for me."

Levi: "..."

During the conversation, the celebration salute had been fired. The giant bluebird illusion above the city also bursts out with brilliant colorful magic light.

"The ceremony is about to begin." Janna stretched out her hand to Levi: "Let us move forward together, Comrade Levi."

"Yeah." Levi also held Janna's hand.

In the roaring wind of change, they flew forward together:

"Let's move forward together!"
