Two Cities: I am building a mecha in Pi City

Li Lin accompanied the excited Caitlin to test-fire "Iron Blood" for more than an hour.

After making sure that all aspects of it were stable, he went back to the room exhausted, took a quick hot shower, fell on the bed and instantly fell into a deep sleep, sleeping for almost a day.

It wasn't until the sun set near the evening of the next day that he woke up from his sleep with a hungry stomach. He got up and went to the kitchen to eat something.

Afterwards, he went back to the studio and made a list of what was needed to upgrade the power armor and gave it to the butler, asking him to prepare the materials for himself as soon as possible.

In the following time, Li Lin, who had not yet completely recovered, returned to his room and continued to sleep.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten hours passed.

The early morning sun shines on the earth, and the big clock in the Zodiac basement rings eight times, indicating the official start of a new busy day.

Li Lin's fatigue was finally gone, and he happily took a shower and got dressed.

Many of the materials required to upgrade power armor are rare or even banned on the market.

But with the Gila Mann family behind them, everything can be done easily.

Even if you want to get contraband, it's pretty easy, it just takes a little more time.

The housekeeper estimated that it would take at least two or three days to prepare all the materials Li Lin needed.

During this free time, he planned to go to Zaun to survey the terrain and choose a suitable location for building a tidal power station.

If the survey progresses quickly and things go smoothly, he can spare some time to go to Piltover University to help Jess and Victor research the projects at hand.

Whether it is the "Hex Flying Door" or the "Fully Automatic Hex Technology Robot" technology, it will greatly help Li Lin improve his strength in the future.

Caitlin and Gila Mann went out early in the morning, and Li Lin was happy to be alone.

After a quick breakfast, he put on his power armor and headed to Airdrop Street.

Piltover is the most crowded time in the early morning.

After emerging from the shadow of the "terrorist" attack a few days ago, order in this progressive city gradually returned to normal.

The not-so-wide streets are full of rushes, pushing and shoving citizens on their way to work.

However, under Li Lin's extremely intimidating "big steel man", there is always at least five meters of space around him.

Ignoring the strange looks from the chattering crowd, Li Lin arrived at Airdrop Street and spent double the price at the ticket booth to buy a ticket to go down to the middle square.

After the Hex pressure transport aircraft, which creaked and spewed out a large amount of white steam, stopped and stabilized, and all the passengers on it got off, Li Lin followed a few people into the elevator and arrived at the deserted top floor.

"Down!"

The lift manager today is a middle-aged woman.

She shouted into the speaker at the top of her lungs and rang the bell in her hand.

Rolling steam shot out of the exhaust pipe, causing a layer of mist to form on the glass windows.

The spiral cogs of the three longitudinal rails rotated, and the elevator swayed downwards, making a creaking sound of metal friction.

This situation suddenly flashed the story of Blitzcrank in Li Lin's mind.

At some point in the future, this lift will malfunction.

Blitzcrank, who was hanging outside, used his "mechanical flying claw" to avoid his fate of falling and crashing, saving dozens of lives.

However, due to his appearance, the current world line has undergone considerable changes. It is unknown whether the butterfly effect that may result will cause Blitzcrank to miss this incident.

It looks like we need to take some time to renovate the lift.

Li Lin thought secretly in his heart.

After half an hour, Li Lin arrived at the black alley of the middle square.

He had just come down from the elevator and not far from the diamond-shaped steel fence, five teenagers who were obviously dressed as street runners and seemed to be lean due to malnutrition surrounded him.

Are you... trying to rob me?

Inside the power armor, Li Lin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, feeling a little funny.

Before he could speak, the boss of the other four gangsters was clearly in front of him. He was also the strongest boy with a mohawk haircut and said:

"Are you... Mr. Li Lin?"

To Li Lin's surprise, the boy who was the leader of the gangsters actually knew his name, and his tone and attitude were quite polite.

These men were not robbers.

"Yes, what do you want to do?" Li Lin's tone was not polite at all, but the mohawk boy was not angry either.

"We have been waiting for you for a few days, Mr. Li Lin."

He grinned, revealing dirty yellow teeth, "A gentleman named Hilko gave us a sum of money and asked us to wait for a man wearing a suit of steel armor, named Li Lin."

"Uh... Hilko?"

Li Lin's brows knitted together when he heard the name.

He didn't have a good impression of this guy.

Not only because of Hilko's previous act of kidnapping Fandel, but also because he seemed to be Singed's sponsor, developing and producing the Glimmer Potion, a "poison" that modified the human body and caused great damage to the human body.

After a pause, Li Lin's voice came out through the metal mask, with a rather mechanical sound, "What does he want from me?"

"this……"

The Mohawk boy and the four young men behind him looked at each other, then quickly looked away, looking a little embarrassed.

"It's not something we should know. He didn't tell us."

The young man scratched his hair and continued: "He just said that when we see you, let us take you to an alchemy workshop at the edge of the black alley..."

Li Lin curled his lips, waved his hand, turned around and wanted to leave, "Not interested."

Is it possible that a guy who is a stranger to him, who is even hostile to himself, Fandel, and even the entire dark alley, would still invite him to entertain him?

What's more, it is located on the border of the Black Alley, a place that Fandel cannot manage, and it is probably Hilko's territory.

This kind of "Hongmen Banquet" is obviously intended to make me jump into the trap. It is not a kind-hearted behavior. I am a fool to do it.

"No, Mr. Li Lin!"

Before he could take two steps, several teenagers blocked him again, with pleading expressions on their faces.

"We have already collected the money, and we must complete the task. Come with us..."

"No, what does it have to do with you collecting money? It's not me who collected the money?"

Although I know that growing up in Zaun, a considerable number of children with little education will become gangsters.

Li Lin can understand them and sympathize with them, but this does not mean that he can be "morally kidnapped" by them at will.

What's more, they were sent by Silko, and he happened to have more important things to do.

Li Lin's face gradually darkened.

Just as he was about to push away these gangsters and leave directly, a magnetic voice came from a distance and penetrated into his ears:

"Don't be angry. These children are uneducated and not very sensible. They speak a little recklessly."

Hilko…

Li Lin squinted and looked in the direction of the source of the sound.

A middle-aged man dressed neatly and formally, with a "devil" eye in his left eye, walked out of a narrow alley with two strong men serving as bodyguards and a young man dressed similarly to the five people in front of him.

He waved over, and a few young gangsters ran over quickly, took a money bag from his hand, and then disappeared from Li Lin's sight along with the young man beside him.

"Mr. Li Lin, I think you still know me, so I don't need to introduce myself."

Silko had a smile on his face and bowed to Li Lin with the poor etiquette of Pi City nobles.

He seemed to have been waiting here for a long time, and those teenagers were only used to hold him back so that he could arrive.

As soon as he saw Hilko, a coldness flashed through Li Lin's eyes, "Xilko, what do you want to do? Don't forget, this is the boundary of the dark alley, and your men can't beat me."

"You misunderstood. I didn't come to you this time for conflict."

Hilko crossed his fingers together and put them on his chest. His calm tone seemed to give people the feeling that he was the dominant one.

"Then what are you doing for?" Li Lin snorted coldly, "Don't ink, my time is precious, I only give you ten seconds."

"It won't take ten seconds..."

"9, 8, 7, 6, 5..."

Before Hilko finished speaking, Li Lin was already reading from 10 to 3 very fast.

The corners of Hilko's mouth twitched slightly unconsciously.

At this time, Li Lin had already finished counting down.

"It's a pity that you didn't seize the opportunity. I'm leaving."

Li Lin didn't give him any time to think, and he also didn't intend to listen to his nonsense.

After saying the next sentence, he took a step forward and prepared to leave.

This kid is too arrogant!

Hilko suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Wait!"

Seeing that Li Lin still had no intention of slowing down, he hurriedly said:

"I heard about what happened between you and Fandel. He seems reluctant to cooperate with you...but I can cooperate with you!"

Li Lin paused for a moment, then turned around, with a bit of surprise and confusion in his words.

"What did you say?!"

Thanks to the unknown magenta knight who passed by, Alxe Frozen, and book friend 20190714000745618 for the reward!
