Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Chapter 100 Eliza's Miracle
Li Lin walked around with Caitlin all afternoon, buying a bunch of miscellaneous things and all kinds of beautiful clothes.

A few days later, Miss Gilaman's 18th name day arrived.

Since last night, Gilaman's family has been busy, just for this extremely important day.

But in fact, it is not so much a coming-of-age ceremony as it is a social ball for the Gilaman family to make friends.

Not only the Gilaman family, but every family in the upper class will choose to hold such a dinner after the younger generation reaches the age of 18.

And such dinner parties often become a platform for young men and women from major families to socialize and meet each other.

According to the tradition of Piltover, the coming-of-age ceremony is generally divided into four stages:
Speech by the head of the host family, blessings and gifts from the elders of each family, blessings and gifts from peers, and finally the dinner and dance.

The most important stages are the latter two stages.

If a descendant of any family or the family is interested in the protagonist of the coming-of-age ceremony, then the family will purchase the most expensive gift for him to send out.

When this link is over, all the family elders who participated in the coming-of-age ceremony need to exit the auditorium and leave the next time to the younger generations.

At this time, the protagonist of this coming-of-age ceremony needs to dance the first ballroom dance with the opposite sex of the same generation who gave the most valuable gift, regardless of dislike or like.

If the protagonist is a man, a polite gentleman needs to invite the woman to dance, and if the protagonist is a woman, you need to accept the other party's invitation.

After the first dance watched by the crowd is over, it's time to socialize with peers, build relationships for the family, and invite dances to the opposite sex you like.

If the protagonist of the coming-of-age ceremony also has a good impression of the party who gave the most expensive gift, he can refuse all subsequent dance invitations of the opposite sex.

But if he doesn't like the object of the first dance, he can invite or accept a ballroom dance from another opposite sex at will to show his attitude.

Li Lin felt that this traditional coming-of-age ceremony handed down was very weird, but there was nothing he could do about it.

After all, you have to do as the Romans do...

But he can't see Caitlyn dancing with other members of the opposite sex, so gifts become a problem.

After all, she is the only daughter of the top-ranked Gilaman family in Piltover, and Caitlyn's beauty is known to almost the entire northern city.

Therefore, whether they really have a crush on her, or they covet the status of the member's family, there will never be fewer people who want to climb high.

They either come from small families, or from other top families.

In any case, Li Lin's current connections are definitely not comparable to those old fritters in the family.

They always have various channels to get strange and rare treasures, but the gifts that Li Lin can buy with money are only the best in Piltover.

Unless Mrs. Karina is asked for help, Li Lin feels that she will definitely not help him.

A small craftsman attached to Gilaman's family, but also wants to climb up to the daughter of the councilor...

Li Lin already thought about the scene where Mrs. Karina "humiliated" herself if she really did this.

Fortunately, he didn't spend the 1125 blue essence he kept before, and this "money" can be used to buy a more expensive magic item in the [Essence Store].

Gift giving is a science.

First of all, it is necessary to study what the recipient likes, and on this basis, choose a gift that is both affordable and in line with his identity.

In other words, the gift should not only depend on the degree of value, but also choose the appropriate appearance according to the occasion and the heart of the recipient.

For example, Caitlin doesn't like gems, jewelry and other items.

But at such a coming-of-age ceremony, Li Lin can't give her another sniper rifle, can he?

This is not in line with etiquette, without emotional intelligence, and it will even make the Gilaman family lose face.

There are many good things for Li Lin to choose from in the [Essence Store].

He struggled for a long time, and finally chose an item that was most suitable for Caitlin and was absolutely unmatched by others:

A fuchsia heart crystal gemstone pendant.

[Eliza's Miracle (Epic): According to legend, in addition to climbing Mount Targon, those who have the most devout belief in the giant gods and protoss will also receive blessings from the starry sky, and this is the case for Eliza. 】

[Attributes: 1000 health, 1500 mana, restore 5 health and 10 mana per second, 30% spell power. 】

【Ability Effect】

【passive】

[Eliza's piety: All the effects of this equipment are only valid for women. 】

[Star Ruby: Provides an additional 2000 HP and 2000 Mana. 】

[Insight into the mind: The wearer can see through the minds of ordinary people (only available to mages). 】

[Unyielding Will: The spirit and will of the wearer will not be affected by negative effects of magic. 】

[Blessing of the Astral World: When receiving fatal damage, provide a layer of 100% of the maximum HP, which can resist all types of damage. The astral magic shield lasts until you leave the battle. health and mana (cooldown 7 days). 】

[Miracle from the stars: When the wearer dies, the equipment will shatter, infusing the wearer with the vitality of resurrection, restoring all HP and mana. 】

The attributes of this piece of equipment are outrageous, which is equivalent to providing the wearer with two extra lives, and it only sells for 925 blue essences.

If it weren't for the fact that it was only effective for women, Li Lin would have bought it for himself.

Of course, it is still a very good choice to give Caitlin this equipment as a gift.

After all, she is an ordinary person, and she is still engaged in a relatively dangerous industry.

Although Caitlin's rival C in the background has died, Li Lin is still worried about her safety.

This piece of equipment can solve the worries in his heart very well, and the 925 blue essence flower does not feel distressed.

It's already afternoon, and Kaitlyn's coming-of-age dinner will start soon.

After Li Lin carefully selected a suitable gift box, he put [Eliza's Miracle] into it, and temporarily locked it in the Hex treasure chest.

Afterwards, he went into the bathroom and took a hot bath very meticulously, and then put on the white and brown-red tuxedo tailored for him by Mrs. Karina's police, which was sewn with the Gilaman family crest.

Just as he was arranging his hair in the mirror, there was a knock on his door.

Li Lin knew Caitlin was outside without opening the door, this was her unique habit of knocking on the door.

"I'm coming……"

As soon as he opened the door, a familiar scent of violet flowers came to his face.

Caitlin's hair was still wet, as if she had just taken a shower.

She is wearing cool casual clothes, her snow-white beautiful legs point down, a pair of small and exquisite jade feet without socks are covered in summer sandals and slippers, the toes that are close together are curled up from time to time, with pink and white crescents, carefully constructed Nails are crystal clear.

It's not time yet, and she hasn't changed into tonight's evening dress for the time being.

"Li Lin!"

As soon as the door opened, Caitlin impatiently pushed him away and squeezed in.

Then, she turned around and closed and locked the door with a mysterious expression.

The fragrance on Caitlin's body kept teasing Li Lin's nerves. He quickly calmed down his mood and asked in surprise, "...you are?"

"What kind of gift did you prepare for me tonight?" She blinked and looked at Li Lin, "Could it be unprepared?"

"How is it possible?" Li Lin smiled, "If I don't tell you now, I won't disappoint you anyway."

Caitlin shook her head with an uneasy expression, "As long as you send me, I will not be disappointed no matter what... But what I want to talk about is not this problem.

"I heard from my mother that tonight a young man from the Myrdalda branch will prepare a precious gift for me. I'm afraid your gift won't be as good as his..."

She paused, and continued: "I used the money I earned from handling cases in the past few months and my pocket money to secretly entrust the housekeeper to prepare a gift. You can use this for me tonight..."

Hearing what Caitlin said, Li Lin couldn't help feeling warm.

It seems that she still cares about me...

"Do you want to dance with me that much?" He said in a teasing tone with a slight hook on the corner of his mouth.

"Fuck you, I'm serious, okay?" Caitlin poked Li Lin's cheek with her slender pale fingers dissatisfied, "You really want me to dance with other men?"

Li Lin gently grabbed the little hand she wanted to retract, "Of course not."

Catelyn couldn't free her hand from his broad, strong palm.

The warmth of two hands, one big and one small, entangled, she couldn't help but blushed, and her heart suddenly became confused.

"You, let me go quickly..."

Li Lin shook his head, and gradually approached Caitlin with his probe.

"You, what are you doing!" She said with a flustered expression and a slightly muffled voice.

Facing the face that was getting closer in front of her, Caitlin wanted to step back, but her back was already pressed against the cold wall.

With nowhere to retreat, her complexion was like a ripe red apple, and she could even clearly feel Li Lin's warm breath blowing on her cheeks.

Since it was the first time she was facing such a scene, and it was still Li Lin, Caitlin's mind went blank, and she really didn't know what to do, so she had to close her eyes in despair.

However, the scene she imagined did not happen.

Li Lin just leaned into her ear and said: "Believe me, no one's gift can compare to mine... Also, what are you expecting?"

"you!"

Hearing this, Caitlin opened her eyes angrily, but what she saw was Li Lin with a smirk on his face, and his face was immediately covered with sullenness.

Immediately afterwards, she pushed away the young man in front of her, covered her hot cheeks, opened the door and ran out.

"I hate you to death!"
