Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Chapter 360 Obviously I Came First!
【Congratulations!You have contacted 35 heroes, your level has been increased by 2 levels, and you have gained 2 skill points. 】

Sure enough, it is still a stable point that comes from encountering "heroes" and increasing the level...

Li Lin looked at the existing 252 skill points, forcibly suppressed the urge to add points now, and temporarily ignored the system reminder in his mind.

Just as he was about to catch up with Jarvan IV, Zoe beside him grabbed his sleeve like a kitten whose fur was blown.

"what happened?"

Li Lin looked back in doubt, but Zoe's displeased expression met him.

"I disagree!"

"...Ah? What do you disagree with?" Li Lin was stunned for a moment before realizing, "You mean Sona?"

As soon as her name was mentioned, Zooey suddenly puffed up her mouth, "What's so good about that big cow besides being big? She can't speak, and she just met you. How come you... um!"

Before she could finish her words, Li Lin gave her a hard blow to the head and let out a sob of pain, holding back all the rest of her words.

Sometimes, children are quite jealous and possessive, and Zoe, who has always maintained a childlike innocence, is no exception.

Li Lin had already established a relationship with Caitlin before she arrived, so it was hard for Zoe to say anything more.

Now, the ambiguity between Li Lin and Sona due to concealment and inappropriate expression caused the little girl's dissatisfaction to explode again.

"Obviously, obviously I came first!" Zooey muttered angrily with tears in her eyes.

Li Lin glanced at the people around him, trying not to make himself and Zooey look strange and prominent, then put his hand on her shoulder and half bowed his body.

"Didn't I teach you to be polite to others? How can you say that about Sona?"

"But!" Zooey saw that Li Lin seemed to be really angry, and her tone softened a little, "But you have me...and Caitlin."

"Don't argue with me." Li Lin glared at her. "You should have sensed the sudden connection between me and Sona. I just found a reason for it. You know that's not what I mean."

As he said that, Li Lin just raised his head, his eyes just missed the crowd, and met Sona among the crowd of Bouvier, who was walking towards the Crown Guard family who had just arrived at the Hall of Resplendent.

Sona is no longer as shy as she was when they first met, the corners of her cherry red lips curled up slightly, and she took the initiative to smile at Li Lin.

He also bowed back, and while Zoe wasn't paying attention, he hurriedly turned his gaze to the direction of Jarvan IV.

The prince had already chatted with Galen, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and when he saw Li Lin looking at him, he waved to him again, signaling him to go over.

"Okay Zoe, I really don't mean that to Sona now." Li Lin gently rubbed Zoe's head, and slowed down his tone, "You don't need to be angry because of this."

Zooey was still not at ease, with a dubious expression, "Really?"

"Of course it's true. What's the point of me lying to you?"

"Okay, I believe you." Zooey snorted softly, "But... don't let me find out that you are a sneaky cat!"

If you want to talk about cats, you are the kitten character who is easy to blow up, right?
Li Lin pinched Zoe's little face, which made her smile coquettishly, then got up and walked towards Jarvan IV and Galen.

Before he could get close, Jarvan IV came over, followed by a curious Galen.

"This is the Li Lin I told you about. He saved me from that powerful blood-sucking pest."

Jarvan IV kept smiling, patted Galen on the shoulder, and introduced each other to the two of them.

"Li Lin, this is the Garen Crownguard I mentioned to you. He has made great achievements on the border of the Freljord over the years. They fought bravely side by side, and were only recently summoned back by the king to be rewarded."

Galen scratched his head, a little embarrassed, "You have praised Your Highness too much, but it's not that exaggerated."

"Your Excellency Galen's famous name, on the way back, I heard His Royal Highness mention it every day."

Li Lin smiled and crossed his hands, saluting him.

"No no, no matter what you say, I can't compare to you." Galen hurriedly replied, and then smiled bitterly, "His Highness said, you have a mechanical army of your own? Can you tell me more about it?"

Li Lin saw Galen staring at him with piercing eyes, with a look of expectation on his face, and suddenly he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The future pillar of Demacia, the sword captain of the Fearless Vanguard, Galen who was named the power of Demacia, now even speaks to himself in honorifics.

Have I experienced so much in just over two years?

Li Lin took a breath, put all distracting thoughts behind him, and continued to smile politely on his face, "Of course."

Afterwards, he focused on the mechanical engineers commonly seen in Piltover and the air combat machinery-storm formation that escorted Jarvan IV to Galen.

In order to show the momentum, the two types of field mechs that Jarvan IV and his team had just glimpsed when they forced away the Bloody Madam Noradi were only briefly mentioned.

Gai Bojia, who slaughtered the dragon, just raised his mouth, and he skipped over the Tyrant Mecha.

Demacia is not one mind, there are ears in the partition wall, not to mention that this is a crowded dinner hall.

There are many people in power here who have different intentions, so Li Lin will not reveal some of his trump cards.

"It's even bigger than Galio's statue, and it can easily kill a dragon?!" Galen couldn't help but gasped, "Is this true?"

"The dragon and bird scouts who guarded the Great Wall saw this with their own eyes, and they all wrote letters to report to Father." Jiawen IV added.

"Then...Compared with the Fearless Pioneers and your mechanical troops, who do you think has a better chance of winning?" Galen hesitated for a moment, "I don't mean anything else, I just want to make a horizontal comparison and roughly estimate the combat effectiveness of the two sides. "

"There is no suspense in your question." Before Li Lin could answer, Jarvan IV spoke first.

"I've seen the strength of those robots before. Just a random energy laser can pierce Noxus soldiers wearing plate armor. This should not be their greatest power."

Galen looked shocked, "...this?"

"Besides, what else can Li Lin's troops use... luminous battle suits?"

"It's optical camouflage, Your Highness."

Jarvan IV suddenly realized, "Oh, yes, it's called optical camouflage! They can also integrate with the environment in this way, enter a state of invisibility, and can fly.

"Plus the mechanical troops don't need to rest, but human flesh and blood can't stand a long battle... What do you think?"

"Is this... magic?"

At this time, Galen's expression was dull, and he couldn't imagine what it would be like if the Fearless Pioneer met Li Lin's mechanical troops on the battlefield.

"I heard that Piltover has further mastered the means of controlling magic with technology, is that so?"

While talking, Galen inadvertently glanced at the petite Zoe who was standing quietly beside Li Lin. His eyes were always focused on the king.

After Jiawen IV's solemn reminder, he knew that this little girl who looked only thirteen or fourteen years old, about the same age as his sister Lacus, or even younger, turned out to be an "old monster" who had lived for thousands of years.

It is still the host of the Protoss who inherited the power of the Calamity Star—the Twilight Protoss!

While thinking wildly in his mind, Galen's eyes turned to the distance again, and looked at Morgana who was tasting wine alone in the corner, as if she didn't care about anything.

And there is another one over there whose identity has been confirmed, she is the younger sister of the legendary Demacia Flying Wing Protector Sisters...

I heard that she was also persuaded by Li Lin to return to Demacia.

Galen no longer knew how to describe his mood.

"Well... To be precise, my mechanical troops used to have a little touch with magic, but now they are purely technological products and have nothing to do with magic." Li Lin explained for him.

Since the research of nuclear fusion technology, plus the advent of cheap and strong synthetic materials that can withstand the high pressure of fusion reactions, and the advent of zero-element synthetic materials, the current mechanical troops no longer need to use Hex energy crystals.

Just extracting elements from the sea and synthesizing new materials with various metals not only greatly reduces the cost, but also provides almost unlimited energy.

If Li Lin develops a more convenient cold fusion technology in the future, the nuclear fusion reactor can be further reduced, and the smaller mechanical engineers can also be equipped with an energy supply core that can provide almost infinite energy.

Valoran mainland actually has troops even more elite than Demacia's fearless vanguard, and they don't use magic...

Galen couldn't believe it, and it was a little bit hard to accept.

At this moment, Jarvan IV approached Li Lin after speaking with the Patriarch of the Crownguard family, Galen's father Pete, and Tiana.

"Are you talking about the mechanical army?" Jarvan III asked with a smile, "I have heard my son say that Li Lin's mechanical army is enough to be called the number one army in the world!"

"It's really young and promising. It's a blessing for this 'progressive city' to have a young talent like you in Piltover!" Pete applauded heartily.

"You guys are too much, Your Majesty, Patriarch of the Crown Guard." Li Lin shook his head modestly, "Actually, if you want to compare the revived Shurima Empire and their god warriors, my mechanical troops are far from enough. "

"Hey, the Celestial warriors have long since disappeared during the Darkin War. The only remaining Celestials are the returned Azir, and the grand maester Nasus you and my son mentioned, right?"

Jarvan III waved his hand indifferently, not knowing much about this.

"Besides, let's just talk about Valoran continent... your mechanical army can still aspire to be the pinnacle of this world."

The other nobles around turned their eyes to Li Lin with surprise and astonishment, and then began to whisper and point at him.

Some people feel fear and anxiety, but most people think this is an opportunity, after all, their prince has a good friendship with him.

They are thinking about how to win over this young man who can compete against a country by himself.

Led by Jarvan III, they talked about other miscellaneous things.

For example, when Pete's wife, Augsa, and youngest daughter, Laxana, moved to Xiongdu from their ancestral home, Miril City, and discussed some recent national issues.

It was not until the eve of Prince Jarvan IV's celebration dinner that Jarvan III stood on the podium facing the entrance of the Hall of Resplendents, and all the nobles gathered.

After a short but passionate speech, he straightened his face and talked about the business: "Before the celebration dinner for my son Jarvan IV, I still have a few important things to announce!"
