Two Cities: I am building a mecha in Pi City

Since the last banquet etiquette class, Caitlin seemed to be avoiding Li Lin intentionally or unintentionally in the next few days.

Li Lin also discovered this keenly.

It's just that because the Evolution Day is approaching and a person's energy is limited, his mind has to focus on this most important festival of the year.

As time went by, he upgraded the last Hex Technology Crystal purchased from Ben Sona into a Hex Energy Crystal.

In terms of exoskeleton power mecha, due to his affinity for machines improved by the [Mechanical Affinity] skill, his research has progressed very quickly, and the overall prototype has been completed.

But unfortunately, it is only a prototype at this stage, and it still needs a series of subsequent tests and improvements, so it cannot be displayed at the Evolution Day Conference for the time being.

In addition, Li Lin followed Mrs. Karina's instructions and deliberately further extended the hand-cranked generator to create fire, solar, water and wind power generators.

These are more suitable for Piltover and Zaun to use at this stage.

As for using oil and natural gas fuel…

Li Lin has not heard of oil and natural gas fields anywhere in Valoran.

Even if there is, based on the current status of Runeterra, only Piltover and Zaun attach great importance to technology.

In addition to hex technology and alchemy technology, the basic technology level of these two city-states has only reached the steam age, and oil and natural gas have not yet begun to be used.

Not to mention other places.

What's more, Runeterra is not purely made of matter, magic is also an extremely important part of it, and it is unknown whether it has experienced crustal movement.

It is uncertain whether energy sources such as oil and natural gas exist in this world.

Therefore, Li Lin didn't put much thought into this aspect at all.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the day of evolution has arrived.

At 6 o'clock in the morning, genius dawned.

Li Lin got up from his bed early, took a shower, and put on a decent dress specially made for him by Mrs. Karina.

Brown-red lining and slim-fitting trousers, paired with double-breasted buttons with white gold trim, a tuxedo with the Gila Mann family logo sewn on the shoulders, and a pair of black leather boots that reach the calf.

Brown, red and white are the standard colors of the Gila Mann family.

I have to say that Mrs. Piltover's aesthetics is a little bit...weird.

After sorting out his personal appearance, Li Lin went to the kitchen to have some breakfast, and then went to the living room of the main house at the agreed time.

A group of servants were surrounding the Gila Manns and Caitlin, helping them organize their clothes.

"Good morning, Mrs. Karina, Mr. Elro." Li Lin first said hello to the Gila Manns.

The Gila Manns looked at Li Lin through the glass in front of them and said in return, "Well, good morning."

Then, Li Lin looked at Caitlin again, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Today, Caitlin is wearing an off-shoulder waist-length knee-length dress in brown and red as the main color, which perfectly sets off her slender waist and S-shaped standard sports curves.

A pair of small, slender feet were worn with brown-gray open-toe high heels. Each one had their nails done carefully, and their plump and round toes were close together, twitching from time to time, like exquisite and moving jasper.

"Good morning, Caitlin." Li Lin greeted Caitlin eagerly.

"Good morning, good morning..." In the mirror, Caitlin's eyes were a little evasive.

What's going on? It's been like this these past few days. I don't seem to have anything to offend you...

Li Lin felt puzzled.

I have to take some time to find her and ask her clearly.

"Okay, are you almost ready? Kate?"

Lady Karina looked at Caitlin.

"I'm fine, Mom."

"Well, now that we're ready, let's set off. The academy needs Jace's help today, so we don't have to wait for him."

Everything was ready, and under the guidance of the servant, a group of four people got into a luxurious carriage.

The Gila Manns sat on one side, and Li Lin and Caitlin sat on the other side.

It's just that Caitlin's eyes were outside the carriage along the way, and she didn't even look at Li Lin.

Fortunately, Karina and Elro had a pleasant conversation all the way, otherwise the atmosphere in the carriage would only be more dull.

Their destination was a temporary tent set up by the Giramann family in the Agnostic Square in the northern city, which could be visited by outsiders and used to display the Giramann family's newly invented tent.

It was not long after seven o'clock, and the bright sunshine had completely driven away the darkness.

As soon as the Gila Manns and Caitlin got off the carriage, more than ten people in suits and ties immediately surrounded them.

Some of them wore the costumes of other families, and some were yordles and vastayas who had left their homes and came to Piltover to do business in the early years.

"Happy Evolution Day, Senator Gila Mann."

They all greeted Karina, Elro, and Caitlin.

When they saw a young man who didn't look too old and had an oriental face coming out of the carriage, everyone's eyes focused on him.

He was able to ride in the same carriage as the Gila Mann family. What is the background of this young man?

Karina noticed their looks and a small smile appeared on her face.

After entering the tent, looking at the three circles inside and outside, Karina waved her hand, and the noisy crowd fell silent instantly.

"Happy Evolution Day, I'm honored to have you all come to the Hextech Exhibition at Giraman's house on Evolution Day.

"Everyone knows that Piltover, as the cultural center of Valoran, integrates art, crafts, trade and innovation, and has become the most prosperous city-state in the world.

“The reason why we are able to stand at the forefront of the times is because of our tireless thirst for knowledge, our yearning for wealth and dreams, and our continued innovation.”

Mrs. Karina paused for a few seconds, glanced sideways at Li Lin, and motioned for him to come to her side.

"In the past few days, the Giraman family was fortunate enough to recruit a new craftsman - Li Lin. He has an intelligence comparable to that of the talented young craftsman Jace Tallis..."

For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Li Lin.

Curiosity, suspicion, scrutiny... all kinds of complicated eyes swept over him.

Karina kept smiling and nodded, very satisfied with the reactions of those present.

After a while, she continued: "Just some time ago, Li Lin developed a groundbreaking invention, which is enough to push our Piltover into a new era."

"Wow! Did I hear you correctly?"

"Pioneering invention? What did he invent?"

"The new era...could it be the same as the Hex Crystal developed by the Philos family a hundred years ago?"

"The gears are turning, it seems like things are going to change in Piltover..."

Everyone present was in an uproar.

No one questioned whether the invention that could usher in a new era was true or false, because the Giraman family had no need to do so.

An ape-like vastaya standing at the front couldn't help but ask: "Councillor Gilaman, can you reveal what this invention is?"

Karina smiled and shook her head, "It's not just an invention. I can only reveal so much. For the rest, please go to the auditorium of Piltover University in the afternoon and attend the Evolution Day Conference to reveal the answer."

After saying that, Karina waved to her husband, Caitlin and Li Lin.

With the servants and guards leading the way, they walked out of the tent and headed straight for the carriage without looking back, leaving only the confused crowd and visitors standing there.

More than one invention…

Suddenly I discovered that this book was on the new light novel list (although it was at the bottom). Thank you very much for your support! I will continue to work hard!
