Two Cities: I am building a mecha in Pi City

On the highest floor of the Giraman family's main residence, inside Li Lin's studio.

Lady Karina has a specially equipped workshop for him, but it still belongs to him.

Therefore, Li Lin completely divided the overlapping functions of the studio and the workshop.

The studio is where he conceives and designs new drawings, and the workshop is where he specializes in making new technological devices.

Turning on the chandelier in the room, Li Lin took Caitlin to the innermost room, opened the safe in the corner, and took out a very heavy Hex treasure chest.

Then, he opened the treasure chest with a Hex key paired with a unique mechanism lock core, and took out more than ten blueprints.

Caitlin randomly pulled out a picture from Li Lin's hand, "What kind of drawings are these?"

Since she was not interested in Hextech inventions, she looked down for a long time, but she didn't understand why.

Li Lin took the drawing back from her hand and looked at it, and couldn't help laughing.

"why are you laughing?"

Caitlin was a little dissatisfied and thought he was laughing at her, so she snorted and said, "I haven't learned any mechanical theory knowledge. Isn't it normal that I can't understand it?"

"You misunderstood me."

Li Lin shook his head and waved the drawing in his hand at her.

"I don't even understand this stuff. It's just an idea. It's normal that you don't understand it."

This is an artificial satellite, communication type.

It's just that before traveling through time, Li Lin didn't pay much attention to these things that were beyond his daily life.

After time travel, Piltover and Zaun did not have such related technology, so he just made a rough idea of ​​this picture based on his own common sense.

Even if it can be perfected, it still depends on whether the system can develop this technology in the future.

Afterwards, Li Lin handed her another drawing with all the data clearly marked.

"Look at this."

Caitlin took it in doubt and took a look, her eyebrows raised, "A radio walkie-talkie...can achieve wireless communication within a short distance?"

Then, she raised her head suddenly, her pupils filled with shock, "Wireless call? Have you developed an advanced version of the wired phone so quickly?"

"It doesn't count."

Li Lin sighed as he thought of the smartphones that people on Earth could not live without in their daily lives before he traveled through time.

"Compared to the final effect I want, it is still far from it...but it can be regarded as an indispensable thing in the future."

He took the drawing back from Caitlin, "Let's go, we've wasted a lot of time, Mrs. Karina might already be waiting for us..."

Caitlin's face changed slightly when she was about to ask about the radio walkie-talkie, "Yes, I almost forgot about this!"

…

…

A few minutes later, the two of them went downstairs to the second floor and looked towards the living room on the first floor from the handrail of the corridor.

Sure enough, Mrs. Karina was already sitting on the sofa and poured herself a cup of tea.

As if she heard the movement upstairs, she didn't look back and said in a lukewarm voice: "What are you two still doing?"

Caitlin's little face changed slightly, and her heart was beating wildly.

She looked at Li Lin who turned around, and when he said "I'm here, don't worry", her nervousness eased a little.

Then, with Li Lin leading the way, Caitlin followed closely behind him. The two walked down the stairs one after another and came to the opposite side of Karina.

From the beginning to the end, Karina did not raise her head to look at them, her eyes were always focused on the steaming Hex kettle on the table.

There was no other sound in the room except for the bubbling of scalding hot water in the kettle.

The atmosphere in the living room was extremely dull for a while.

Caitlin, who had relaxed a little under Li Lin's comfort, became nervous again.

Even when Li Lin faced this situation and his "mother-in-law", his throat couldn't help but squirm, and he also felt a little nervous.

After a while, Karina's blue eyes turned upwards, scanning the two of them lightly, and her eyes briefly stayed on the drawing in Li Lin's hand.

"Sit down, why are you standing?"

After hearing this, Caitlin quickly sat upright on the sofa, her face still lowered, as if she had done something wrong and was caught by her parents.

Li Lin stared at the pressure exerted intentionally or unintentionally by Karina, sat next to Caitlin, and even boldly grabbed her little hand and interlocked with her fingers.

The girl looked startled, and quickly raised her eyes quietly to observe her mother sitting opposite, and found that her attention was not here, and she wanted to break free from Li Lin's hands.

However, she was afraid that her little move would be discovered by her mother, so she didn't dare to use too much force, so she couldn't pull out her little hand.

Caitlin raised her face and glared at Li Lin beside her, but he gave him a reassuring look in return.

In desperation, she could only lower her eyes again worriedly, as if she had given up on herself, her little face almost buried in her chest, and she did not dare to observe her mother's face at all.

Mrs. Karina naturally noticed Li Lin's movements.

But she just glanced at it lightly, raised the tea with an expressionless face, blew the hot air and took a sip without saying a word.

The atmosphere in the living room fell into a dull mood again.

A few more minutes passed, and as the door leading to the corridor creaked, the atmosphere that made Caitlin very tormented was broken.

"Oh, damn, that old bastard Kewald really made me sick. I finally sent him away..."

Elro, whose face was slightly red, opened the door and walked in cursing.

He smelled strongly of alcohol and had obviously drank a lot.

He saw his wife, daughter and Li Lin sitting silently in the living room.

Elro, who hadn't realized anything was wrong, wandered over to Karina and sat down next to him. He burped and said:

"My dear, what did you do after you asked me to send Kewald away?"

He glanced back and forth between the expressionless Karina, Li Lin across from her, and Caitlin, who seemed to have done something wrong and had her face lowered, and seemed to notice something was wrong.

Then, he finally noticed the hands held tightly by Li Lin and Caitlin, and his brows furrowed deeply, "You...?"

"You finally discovered the problem, my dear." Karina said with a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone.

This is a complaint that her husband was too focused on socializing tonight and neglected his daughter.

"Tonight, the housekeeper told me about the two of them dancing and then kissing." Karina took another sip of tea and her voice returned to a calm tone.

Because Karina is the head of the Gila Mann family, the housekeeper or servant will usually report anything to her.

Only when she was away were things at home reported to Elro.

Therefore, he had no idea what happened in the reception hall next door tonight.

Elro's drunkenness subsided immediately, and he looked shocked, "When did you... start?"

"If the relationship is completely confirmed...it will be tonight." Li Lin responded in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

Elro looked at his wife beside him at a loss, "This..."

"Tonight's coming-of-age ceremony, I gave Kate the most precious gift and confirmed my relationship with her under the witness of everyone..."

Before Karina could speak, Li Lin quickly expressed his attitude while observing the expressions of Caitlin's parents.

Among them, the most important one is Caitlin's mother.

Karina took another sip of tea and said, "So, your previous relationship was already very ambiguous..."

"Mom, I..."

"I didn't ask you, Kate."

When Caitlin nervously wanted to say something, Karina glared at her flatly and interrupted her.

Immediately, Caitlin's worried gaze shifted to Li Lin beside her.

She could feel the sweat on his palms.

Li Lin was far from being as calm as he showed.

"Yes, Mrs. Karina, there is no need for me to deny this."

"Li Lin..." Caitlin's eyes became more worried.

"So, what qualifications do you think you have to be worthy of the Gila Mann family, my only daughter?"

Mrs. Karina's eyes narrowed slightly and she began to express a questioning tone.

"Don't forget, your performance on the council before was that you couldn't even suppress other council families that were not as good as the Giraman family..."

"I don't think it should be left to others to judge whether I am qualified or not." Before Karina could finish her words, Li Lin interrupted her.

Then, he handed over a dozen drawings that he had been holding in his hands to the Gila Manns opposite.

Karina frowned slightly, a trace of anger flashing across her face, "My daughter is not a commodity, do you think you can bribe me with these drawings?"

Elro on the side also looked unhappy.

"It's not too late for you to take a look first and then make an evaluation."

Li Lin stood up and placed the drawings in front of them, his tone still neither humble nor overbearing.

Karina suppressed the anger in her heart, frowned, picked up the drawing and glanced at it casually.

But the next second, her attention was instantly attracted by the content of the drawing.

Elro noticed something strange about his wife, and picked up one of them and looked at it.

This picture is exactly what Li Lin had in mind for the artificial satellite...

Elro took a breath of air and hurriedly exchanged drawings with his wife to check.

There are Hextech Gunblades, Hextech Rocket Belts, Hextech Ice Lances, and various other Hextech devices.

Not only that, he also included drawings of fuel motorcycles and cars inside.

But the Gila Manns, who didn't know much about oil, didn't pay much attention to it.

These weapons and unknown means of transportation are completely inferior to radio walkie-talkies, communication base stations, and communication satellites, which can push the times further, and can even be said to be incredible.

"this……"

As an excellent Hextech craftsman, Elro was shocked and speechless.

Compared with her husband, Karina, who has better qualities as a parliamentarian, controls her emotions better and does not have any obvious changes in her expression.

"I think this should be used as a gift for me to marry Kate in the future..."

Li Lin took a deep breath and continued: "Besides, Kate and I are in love with each other. I think with our attitudes, we should respect Kate's wishes."

His brown-black pupils met the eyes of Erro and Karina respectively.

And their eyes invariably shifted to their daughter.

Following Li Lin's secret signal, Caitlin raised her eyes and glanced at the man beside her.

Encouraged by his eyes, Caitlin plucked up the courage and said to her parents: "Li Lin is right, we really like each other..."

The room fell into silence for a long time again, until Li Lin spoke again:

"Of course, that's not all I can give to the Gila Mann family. I also have a guarantee."

He paused for a moment, "It won't be long before I make the Gila Mann family the first family of Piltover..."
