Two Cities: I am building a mecha in Pi City

It has been a few days since the Piltover Council sanctioned the Odilenk family.

In these days, what citizens are talking about, apart from how to celebrate Evolution Day, is the story published in the Piltover Daily News that the head of the Odilenk family committed suicide in fear of guilt after failing to kidnap the eldest daughter of the Gila Mann family. .

In fact, even Karina herself did not expect this to happen.

She originally just wanted to use a reason to suppress this family that was jumping up and down every day, but unexpectedly, she unexpectedly took advantage of it and directly brought down their entire family.

However, she was very happy to see this situation, and even spent money to sponsor newspapers to let them report on it to maintain the popularity, so as to deter other people who dared to go against the Gila Mann family.

Although the kidnapping case planned by the Odilenk family has come to an end, Li Lin, who realizes that he is still powerless to resist in the face of a crisis, is not willing to be satisfied with the status quo.

In order to improve his abilities, he specifically asked Caitlin to provide him with comprehensive training.

How to use various firearms, combat training, physical training, hunting skills training...

In just a few days, with the help of the [Mechanic] panel, he successfully acquired new skills:

[Firearm Mastery] and [Basic Combat] fully increased his combat effectiveness rating by 2 points!

Although it was better than nothing, it would at least make him less helpless when facing some threats before he grew up.

In addition, in addition to daily training under Caitlin's supervision, Li Lin's mechanical research has not stopped.

After the meeting that day, Mrs. Karina came to him specifically to ask about the new weapons.

In order to win the support of the Gila Mann family, Li Lin specially gave her the design drawings of the Hextech revolver.

Fortunately, Mrs. Karina is not a stuck-up person and is very adaptable.

Knowing that this kind of weapon needed Hextech crystal as its functional core, she gave Li Lin a large sum of money without saying a word, asking him to further improve the design of the pistol as much as possible.

At the same time, she is also sending people to contact the Philos family and wants to cooperate with them in the application of Hex Technology crystals. Negotiations are currently underway.

In the northern city of Piltover, the clock on the top floor of the Zodiac Basement Bank chimed for the third time.

In Li Lin's studio on the top floor of the side house of Gila Mann's house, he and Jess were discussing something.

"Is this what you call an exoskeleton powered arm?"

Jace gently rubbed his smooth chin and looked at the mechanical device on the shelf that looked like Hex's enhanced prosthetic body with a puzzled expression.

This jet-black power arm is made of alloy and countless small mechanical gears. It has a smooth appearance and an uncomplicated structure. When contracted, it is about the same size and thickness as a normal human arm.

In addition, there are many gear grooves on the back of the hand, which are places left for loading and unloading specific tools in the future.

Jess could see that if this robotic arm had a power supply, it might fit perfectly on a human arm.

At first glance, this design concept is actually quite good.

But Jace always felt that this thing overlapped with the image of a certain thing in his mind...

After thinking for a long time, he finally realized, isn't this the Atlas glove invented by Kerwin Levik? !

"What's the difference between this and the Atlas gloves that miners often use?" Jace reached out and touched the mechanical power arm.

"The difference is huge." Li Lin slapped his hand away and took out a unique-looking revolver from the drawer.

Jess took a breath and took several steps back, "Hey! Calm down, don't I just want to touch you? As for touching him directly?"

Li Lin rolled his eyes at him with caring eyes, and then took out a blue Hex crystal shard from where the revolver originally rotated.

"This is...my crystal shard? Why is it in a revolver?"

"Eh? You don't know?" Li Lin glanced at Jace in surprise, and then suddenly said: "Oh, it's normal not to know. Mrs. Karina won't let this matter be told."

"What's the secret? It's so mysterious that even I can't know about it?" Jace came up again, "Is this a new weapon you invented? It can also use Hex crystal fragments as the core..."

He picked up the revolver and looked at it carefully, and immediately understood its principle. He was extremely shocked and said: "Oh my god! You actually designed an energy weapon?!"

What's all the fuss about, even if I don't design it now, someone else will invent it later.

Li Lin shook his head slightly and ignored Jace, "There is still some energy in it, which should be enough."

As he spoke, he opened a small cover on the wrist of the mechanical power arm and put the crystal fragments into the groove.

Suddenly, the entire mechanical power arm suddenly lit up and made a "click" sound of metal bite and rotation, as if it came to life.

The blue energy of the crystal fragments floats in the energy transmission lines in the arm, driving the mechanical gears to rapidly rotate and separate.

After a while, it more than doubled in size from its original size.

Li Lin put his right hand into the expanded position of the mechanical power arm, clasped the tops of the five mechanical fingers with his five fingers, and then slowly held his fist.

As the gears turned again, the mechanical power arm parts that shone with blue light were put together again, fitting perfectly and seamlessly on his right arm.

If an ordinary person who didn't understand Hex Technology looked at it, they would think that he had replaced his arm with a Hex Technology enhanced prosthesis.

Just when Li Lin put on this powered arm, the panel in his mind also gave all the attributes of this equipment:

[Exoskeleton mechanical power right arm (inferior quality): a wearable mechanical device made of a steel frame that can use energy to allow people to exert additional strength that is difficult to achieve with the physical body]

[Attributes (mechanical): 350 health, 3 combat power]

[Ability Effect]

[Passive·Inferior core: The energy supply core can only provide 2 minutes and 37 seconds of usage time. 】

[Passive·Reinforced Alloy: Made of high-quality alloy, providing an additional 150 health points. 】

[Active·Overload Charging: Consume one-third of the current energy supply core at one time for overload charging for 3 seconds. The next attack can cause great damage to the target. 】

Um……

Judging from the panel properties alone, it feels pretty good?

Li Lin controlled the power arm and punched a few times in the air. The energy supplied by the crystal fragments drove the gears to rotate. The white steam generated by the rapid consumption of blue energy spurted out from the gaps between the metals and quickly dissipated into the air.

There is an obvious feeling of congestion, the operation of the mechanical parts is still a bit slow, and the response is at least half a beat slower. No wonder the quality of the product is inferior.

However, it is already very good to be able to exert this effect for the first time. If it is improved and equipped with Hex energy crystal, and then a complete exoskeleton mechanical power armor is manufactured...

Li Lin quickly analyzed in his mind and came to a conclusion that can be summarized in 4 words:

The future is promising!

Beside him, Jess, who had hid in the corner at some point, reminded: "Oh, please take it easy!"

In order to prevent the last energy of the crystal shards from being wasted for no reason, Li Lin took the power arm off his arm, turned off the energy switch, and put it back on the shelf.

Seeing that he finally stopped making noises, Jace carefully leaned back and reached out to stroke his power arm back and forth, feeling it carefully.

“So, the difference between this and Atlas gloves is that it fits the muscle streamlines on the arm better, takes up less space than boxing gloves, and is more convenient to use?

"But I don't feel there's much difference? It's just a different look..."

Jess rubbed his face, raised his thick eyebrows slightly, and continued:

"But, if the Atlas gloves are worn for a long time, they will cause damage to the wearer's bones, and they use Hex technology batteries, which will lead to insufficient power for a short time. If this arm of yours can solve these problems, It’s quite an excellent invention.”

Li Lin did not directly refute Jace's point of view, but just smiled and asked: "Then what if I say that this power arm is only part of it?"

"Part of it?" Jace was stunned, and suddenly his eyes lit up again, as if he had guessed something, "You mean..."
