Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Chapter 2 The Mechanic Panel

"Mr. Li Lin, do you want coffee or tea?"

In the luxuriously decorated living room of Gilaman's house, a maid is preparing tea for Li Lin.

"Tea, thank you."

"You're too kind, it's my job."

The maid placed a cup of tea with a faint fragrance on the table in front of Li Lin.

"Madam will come to you soon after the interview with today's student. If you need anything, just call me. I'll be outside." After saying that, the maid saluted Li Lin and walked out of the living room.

After there was no one around, Li Lin, who had been tense all this time, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and muttered to himself, "Sigh...it really isn't easy to come to another world."

Li Lin is a time traveler. Not long ago, he passed through and replaced the Ionian boy with the same name who was doing odd jobs in a compass repair shop at Sun Gate Wharf.

Relying on his "experience" of various games, movies, and novels, as well as the memory of the original owner of his body, he quickly figured out what kind of world he came to—Runeterra in League of Legends.

Since the "place of birth" was randomly assigned to the cultural center of the entire Valoran continent, Piltover, which values ​​innovation and has the title of "City of Progress", Li Lin is naturally unwilling to be a wage earner and wait to die.

In this city full of steampunk and fantasy, and far from the real history, as long as you understand innovation and have dreams, it is not difficult to reach the pinnacle of life.

The annual Evolution Day is approaching, and Li Lin, who has a modern mind, quickly clarified his goal:

Copy homework.

At first, he wanted to be a copywriter, and transfer the novels, comic scripts, etc. he had read to this world.

This is the easiest and easiest way to become famous. Anyway, no one will go to another world to sue him for copyright infringement.

However, when an emotionless and mechanical notification sounded inexplicably in his mind, his thoughts changed...

【Name: Li Lin】

【Occupation: Mechanic】

【Level: Level 1】

[HP: 465/465]

【Mana: 50/50】

【Combat power: 5】

[Master skills: basic manufacturing, digital thinking]

[Fortune: 0 Blue Essence, 0 Orange Essence]

[Insufficient level, function not unlocked...]

After Li Lin awakened Goldfinger, the system generated a mechanic profession for him, and also "intimately" gave him a [data-based thinking] skill.

Data thinking can temporarily digitize the world in front of him like in the game by consuming mana.

For example, when flipping through a book, he does not need to read it word by word, but will display a progress bar.

When the progress bar is full, he will know the contents of this book like the back of his hand.

Li Linlai's "Certificate of Fame" of the Gilaman family is based on this skill. It was designed after learning a lot of mechanical principles in Piltover and combining the knowledge he had learned in school.

At the current stage, Piltover's overall technology is only at the level of steam technology, and at most some alchemy technology has been added, and the industrial revolution has not even been carried out. Devices that require a lot of energy rely on hex crystals.

However, according to Li Lin's understanding of the background, the Hex crystal technology is monopolized by Camille's Philos family, and it is expensive, polluting and unstable.

After comprehensive consideration, he decided to bring more economical and practical "electricity" to the world.

Not only can he get a place in this progressive city as soon as possible, but it is also in line with his professional characteristics as a mechanic.

After a brief daze, Li Lin took a sip of the slightly cooled tea and began to appreciate the decoration, which can be said to be a luxurious living room.

The most conspicuous among them is a huge family portrait hanging on the wall of the stairs leading to the second floor next to the sofa.

The Gilamans also had a little girl with a musket.

Caitlin Gillaman, daughter of the Gillaman family, will one day be Sheriff of the Piltover Police.

Li Lin chose to come to the Gilaman family because of her.

Caitlin, as one of the heroes of the League of Legends game, can basically be called the protagonist of the Piltover area in the background.

While Li Lin's gaze stayed on the family portrait, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed a figure at the corner of the stairs on the second floor.

When he moved his gaze, he found that it was a girl who was somewhat similar to the little girl in the family portrait, but much older.

She has azure blue pupils, and her dark purple hair is tied into a short ponytail hanging behind her head. She is dressed in a brown hunter's suit and carries a Bilgewater-style Mauser rifle on her back.

Why did I just think about Caitlin when she came...

After seeing the figure clearly, Li Lin immediately put down his cup and stood up, "May the gears turn smoothly, Miss Gilamann."

"May the gears turn, sir."

Kaitlyn nodded slightly, then came down the stairs, stopped beside Li Lin, and looked curiously at this young man who was about the same age as her.

The workmanship of the clothes on her was very rough, and the fabric was the cheapest on the market, so she probably wasn't a member of a certain family.

The person is a little thin and looks malnourished. This appearance is not from Piltover or Zaun. It is quite attractive, and it should be from the East.

It just so happens that the evolution day is approaching, these days the family is recruiting students, and he should be the student who came to interview.

But the interview should be in the interview room, and if you can be invited to the living room, and there will be tea, there must be something special that can make your mother fancy...

Caitlin quickly analyzed the information she had just observed, and then looked away.

"Congratulations. My mother rarely values ​​a person so much. The last one was Jess. You should have met him just now."

"Uh...thank you."

Li Lin scratched his head, and didn't understand for a while that Caitlin was not there, how did she know this.

However, she was relieved after thinking that Caitlin was one of the top crime solvers in Piltover.

"Miss Gilamann, are you going to go hunting?"

"Yes, I like to track wild deer in the mud of the forest, or practice my spear skills with hares." Kaitlyn smiled. "It's one of the few recreational activities that my mother allows."

As soon as Caitlin finished speaking, the living room led to the corridor, and the door that Li Lin passed by made a "creaking" sound, and the Gilamans walked in.

As soon as she saw her parents, Caitlin immediately had a sweet smile on her face, "Mom, Dad, did the interview go well today?"

"Oh, the gears are turning. Except for the first Ionian young man, the inventions of the later apprentices are simply a mess, and none of them can pass the test..."

Caitlin's father noticed that Li Lin was standing beside the sofa, and his expression, which had been somewhat distressed, suddenly changed, and he laughed.

"Yes, this is a very nice young man. It seems that you have already met him. His intelligence is comparable to that of Jess!"

"Really..." Caitlin looked at Li Lin again, with a strange look in her eyes.

It was the first time she heard her father praise someone so much, not even when Jess first entered their house.

Moreover, Jess was considered a genius inventor by his mentors at Piltover University, and his achievements in the future will definitely not be low.

What kind of work did this Ionian boy design to win his father's favor?To compare it with Jess?

With doubts in her heart, Caitlin became quite interested in Li Lin.

"Okay Kate, since you're going to the suburbs, let's go quickly, we still have business to talk about." Caitlin's mother tidied up her clothes, "Remember not to come back too late."

"Got it, Mom."

Caitlin waved to her parents, then turned her head and nodded to Li Lin, and walked out of the house without looking back.

Next, only Li Lin and Gila Mann were left in the living room.

"Li Lin, can I call you that? After all, we will spend a long time together in the future, and I don't like too polite names.

"At home, you can call me Mrs. Karina and my husband, Mr. Erro, but you have to call me Councilor Gilamann outside."

Karina and Erlo sat down opposite Li Lin one after the other.

"Your wishes, Mrs. Karina." Li Lin said respectfully.

"Please sit down, don't be too restrained, our family is different from the Midarda family, we don't have too strict family rules."

Karina put her right leg lightly on top of her left leg, crossed her hands on her lower abdomen, and leaned halfway on the back of the sofa.

When Li Lin sat down again, she had a serious expression, but the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she said slowly:
"I think Mr. Li Lin is a smart man, so let's stop talking nonsense and get straight to the point..."
