Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Chapter 195 Kai'Sa's New Home

"You deserve it, Mr. Li." The newsstand owner rubbed his hands and smiled, "Your technology has benefited people's livelihood. In a few years, Piltover will have a completely new look because of you."

Li Lin ignored him, carefully looked at the newspaper's report on him, and found that the main source of his wealth was energy crystals, followed by generators and mechanical watches.

But to his surprise, the profit share brought by the socket and plug he invented was far higher than that of the bicycle.

The current Philos family has changed their strategy and has launched all-round cooperation with the Gilaman family.

In the past, power generation required hex crystals or hex cube batteries, which were very expensive and could not be used by ordinary families.

But in many cutting-edge hextech fields, hex crystals are still a must.

Nowadays, ordinary crystals have been upgraded to energy crystals, and the Philos family has completely abandoned the ordinary market, raising its price several times, and exclusively using it in the top field.

As for the low-middle-class citizens, they have developed basic electricity in an all-round way, and even developed their business to Zaun, earning even more than before.

Led by the Gilamann and Philos families, the third thermal power plant in Piltover has been completed, and an agreement has been reached with the Mirdard family to renovate the interior of the Sungate sea gate and add hydroelectric generators.

With the popularization of electricity, extended products related to electricity will naturally emerge in endlessly.

Some people even invented a very simple electric car based on the bicycle...

However, Gilaman's family intentionally unified the power connection devices, so that most of the power facilities had to pay Li Lin a patent fee before inventing and mass producing them.

"It's really becoming more and more modern..." Li Lin exclaimed sincerely.

Afterwards, he calmed down and turned his gaze back to the boss, "Can you sell these newspapers to me? Are they all for less money?"

As he said that, Li Lin was about to control the morning light floating in the sky to airdrop a bag of money to himself.

"No, no, no... you don't need to pay, just treat it as a gift from me!"

Li Lin noticed that the boss seemed hesitant to speak, and seemed to have something to say but was too embarrassed to say it, "If you have any conditions, just say it, as long as it is something I can do."

"hey-hey……"

The boss scratched his head, quickly took out a copy of "Principles of Mechanics" and a quill pen from his drawer, put them on the table and pushed them to Li Lin's side.

"This is a book my mother gave me when I was a child. He hoped that I would become a great craftsman, but I really don't have that talent, so I can only become a businessman.

"If you don't mind, I want you to sign for me... I don't have the life of a master craftsman, but with your signature, I am very satisfied."

Li Lin noticed the flickering eyes of the boss, and realized that his purpose seemed not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

A businessman is profit-seeking, and he may sell this book with his own autograph at a high price.

This is much more money than simply selling a few copies of the treasured newspaper.

But it doesn't matter, it doesn't affect me at all.

Li Lin shook his head, opened [Digital Thinking] and casually flipped through the book a few times. After making sure that there was nothing wrong with it, he took a pen and signed his name.

"Thank you so much!" The owner of the newsstand blushed excitedly and bowed to thank him.

Li Lin waved his hand casually, took a stack of newspapers on the table, and asked Kaisha to leave with him.

Speechless all the way.

Li Lin lowered his head to study the changes in Piltover in the past few months that the newspaper said.

Kaisha was very obedient, knowing that he was thinking now, she just silently followed behind him without disturbing him, and looked at everything in this progressive city by herself.

Li Lin didn't put down the newspaper until they arrived at the Piltover Canyon Bridge and handed over two copper rings as tolls.

In addition to the news about Piltover, Noxus and Demacia have also made big moves recently.

Jericho Swain has issued the Trifarian Proclamation, changing the centuries-old monarchy of Noxus and announcing the establishment of the Trifarian Council with the separation of powers.

Today's Noxus is unstable internally, and many city-states that were originally conquered have declared independence and do not recognize the new Noxus commander Swain.

It is mainly headed by the city-states of Rocklund and Kulsala in the Rocklund Plain across the sea from Piltover in the west.

They killed the new orderly officer sent by Noxus to prove their absolute "loyalty" to Emperor Brown Darkwill.

The Gate of Sorrow, an outpost in the Silver Mountain Range in the southeast of Demacia, is rumored to be attacked by a giant dragon, and Prince Jarvan IV of Demacia has led his personal guards to investigate.

Although Dragonblood Maiden Sivana's dragon mother did frequently ravage the Demacia border area, Li Lin knew very well that this was actually news that Noxus had ulterior motives to release.

Someday in the future, Jarvan IV will be surrounded by a raiding Noxian warband at the Gate of Mourn.

He was nearly killed at the outpost due to insufficient armament and manpower.

Demacia forbids all official trade, especially the Temperament Stone, which is a secret treasure that they will never tell anyone.

If you want to have the friendship of the royal family of Demacia, it may be much easier to obtain the material of the magic stone by rescuing Jarvan IV.

Li Lin lowered his head in thought, and before he knew it, he had brought Kai'Sa back outside the iron gate of Gilaman's mansion.

The maid at home recognized his armor and immediately opened the iron gate of the yard.

Although I was curious about who the pretty little girl next to Li Lin was, but out of professionalism, none of the servants dared to ask about it.

The housekeeper told Li Lin that Gilaman and his wife were not at home at this time.

Caitlin has a lot of cases recently, and now she spends every day in her detective agency, or goes somewhere to find clues, and spends little time at home.

Li Lin specifically asked the housekeeper not to send anyone to convey the news of his return to Caitlin.

He was going to give her a surprise by going to have a good wash first and then changing clothes.

Before returning to his room, Li Lin asked the housekeeper to arrange a room for Kaisha not far from him on the same floor.

After following Li Lin into the room, Kaisha couldn't help but widen her eyes, a look of astonishment appeared on her face.

She looked up at Li Lin uncertainly, "This...is my room?"

"Of course, don't you like it?"

"No... I'm just surprised." Kai'Sa took a deep breath, "If you don't include the yard, this is much bigger than my previous main house."

"This is your new home for the time being." Li Lin rubbed her head lightly, "I will arrange a new residence for you after I bring your father here."

Hearing what he said, Kai'Sa lost her mind for a moment, "Is the new home...?"

"Don't worry, Gilaman and his wife are usually gentle, not to mention the housekeeper and servants.

"My room is not far from yours. If you have any questions, you can always find me."

Li Lin had a smile on his face, "Oh, by the way, go take a shower first, and I'll take you to meet Kate later."

　Thank you for your reward
