Two Cities: I am building a mecha in Pi City

"You, you... what did you just say?" Ike poked his ear, thinking that he had just heard something.

Li Lin smiled and repeated, "I am a machinist...well, craftsman, are you willing to be my apprentice?"

"Li Lin, how did you know that this kid has talent?"

Jess stroked his bare chin and looked suspiciously at the kid in front of him, who had thin arms and thin legs and was not even half as tall as himself.

With such a small body and no strength, I guess it would be difficult to even hold tools such as a wrench and hammer. How can I still be a student worker?

Even if you are looking for handymen, you can find a lot of them just by going to the school district in the southern part of Shangcheng. Why should you look for children from Dicheng who have not even learned a complete mechanical theory?

Jace couldn't figure it out.

Li Lin waved his hand and ignored him, and continued to say to Ike:

"Of course, salary is not an issue. I can give you a daily salary starting at 10 silver wheels, which is far higher than the market price. Even working-class citizens in the upper city rarely have such a salary.

"If your parents agree, the Giraman family will provide food and accommodation without restricting your freedom."

Ike lowered his head, his hands tangled together, feeling a little at a loss.

"Yes, but I can only repair some gadgets, but nothing else..."

To be honest, after hearing Li Lin's conditions, Ike was a little wary.

But although he is young, he is not stupid.

His parents taught him a saying since he was a child: Pie in the sky will never fall.

Li Lin must have done this for a purpose.

But what it is specifically, he really can't guess since he doesn't know his future.

"It doesn't matter. I said you are a student engineer. I can teach you mechanical theory. The Gila Mann family is also a family of Hex mechanics. There are more famous craftsmen. They will also guide the apprentice workers."

"Hey, Li Lin...are you a little impulsive..."

Before Jess could finish his words, he was interrupted again by Li Lin, "Don't talk, I have my own plans."

In fact, Li Lin's decision to accept Ike as his apprentice was not a sudden whim, but he had this idea last time.

A young man who was able to teach himself without a teacher and even developed a device that could control time using only a fragment of the original crystal.

If we really want to compare, Li Lin believes that Ike's talent in the scientific field is actually higher than that of Jess and Victor.

If he could have been given a better environment and education, he might have been able to invent the "Z-drive" device earlier.

By then, in addition to the system panel, I will have another trump card at the bottom of the box to deal with future crises.

"How do you think about it?"

Ike hesitated for a long time. He really couldn't make up his mind, so he could only turn his eyes for help to Bensuo who had just recovered from the shock.

"You brat, what are you looking at me for?" Bensuo cursed as he walked up to Ike and slapped him on the head, "Why don't you agree quickly?"

"...Ah?" Ike covered his head in pain, with a bit of confusion in his eyes, "But...is it okay?"

Bensuo patted him again in despair.

That's the Gila Mann family. How many people can't get in even if they squeeze their heads!

Good thing you are still hesitant...

"You brat is really stupid, why don't you call me master?"

"Master, master..." Following Bensuo's request, Ike subconsciously shouted to Li Lin.

"You can just call me Li Lin, or Brother Li Lin, eldest brother or whatever." Li Lin's expression was slightly embarrassed, "You don't need to call me master, it sounds like I am very old."

"Then...I'll call you Brother Li Lin."

Have you become a student worker of a big family in Shangcheng just like that?

Ike scratched his head inexplicably, always feeling that everything in front of him was like a dream, with a sense of unreality.

"Hahaha...your parents will be proud of you Ike!"

Benso looked much more excited than Ike.

Although at first he allowed the little guy to help in his shop because of his friendship with Ike's parents.

But after getting along for a long time, Bensuo, who has no children, sincerely regards Ike as his own son.

His "son" has prospered, and his "old father" is naturally happy.

"In that case, let's go back to Piltover." Li Lin waved to Ike.

"Eh? Are you leaving now? What will happen to my parents?"

Ike felt a sense of sadness for no reason.

Ben Suo pushed him to Li Lin and said, "I will tell your parents.

"Then Wei, Bangbao, Craig, and Milo..."

"I'll let Fandel inform them." Benso glared at Ike, his tone becoming more and more impatient.

"There's no need to worry so much. I already said I won't restrict your freedom. It's not like I won't let you come back."

Li Lin chuckled and took out 10 silver wheels from his bag and handed them to Ike.

"By the way, I know that when you secretly go to Piltover on weekdays, you jump on top of the screamer. That is too dangerous. I will reimburse you for the cost of riding the screamer in the future.

"It doesn't matter if you don't want to go back to Gila Mann's house with me today. You can come to me when you're ready... But it's best to wait until after Evolution Day. I should have a lot of free time by then. "

Ben Suo, who was standing by with a smile on his face, held Li Lin's hand tightly and shook it again and again, "Okay, okay... I'm really sorry to trouble you, Mr. Li Lin."

"Then we won't bother you any more."

After asking Jace to collect the Hex Crystal and the fragments, the two left the grocery store together.

…

…

In the alley in front of Bensuo's grocery store, four figures of different heights, short, fat and thin were hiding in the dark corner.

After sneaking out of Forgan's Tavern, Wei followed Li Lin and Jace with Bao Bao, Craig and Milo.

Wei originally thought that the two uptowners would go back in the screamer.

But I never thought that they would come to Bensuo's grocery store.

"What's going on? Ben Suo seems to be very happy..." Craig squinted and looked into the store.

Milo curled his lips, "I should be happy because I killed these two people from the city."

"Okay guys, they're coming out, be careful not to be discovered!" Wei quickly warned when she saw Li Lin and Jace leaving the grocery store.

"It looks like they are preparing to go back to the upper city. I think we should go to Screaming from the path first and wait for them there." Milo suggested.

"Well, that's it."

Wei turned to look at her sister behind her.

"Bangbao, you must be faster when climbing the Screamers later. We may not have much time. If we don't catch up with their Screamers, we won't be able to find them."

"I, I'll try my best!" Baobao blinked his blue eyes and took a deep breath.

"You can definitely do it, I believe in you."

Wei smiled and patted her shoulder, then called over Craig and Milo, and ran ahead to lead the way.

"If we can succeed, Fandel will look at us with admiration and allow us to go out on our own..."
