Two Cities: I am building a mecha in Pi City
Chapter 55 Five-Year Agreement
In fact, Li Lin still mustered up the courage to say these words.
Although Camille said that these councilors were just puppets introduced by the Philos family, they were still councilors on the surface, and their family still ranked among the top in Piltover.
Therefore, even if they are puppets, the power they have is not small, provided that Camille or the Philos family does not interfere with them.
Li Lin dared to be tough with the congressmen and even slapped Karina in the face. Naturally, he had his own ideas and confidence.
First of all, if he really follows Karina's words, Dicheng will be squeezed again.
Fandel is the boss of the Black Alley, but according to Li Lin's investigation, his power is the largest in Zaun.
Even if he doesn't like to fight and kill now and only stays in his own one-third of an acre, the alchemy barons in other cities still have to look at him a little bit.
For now, Fandel wants to coexist peacefully with Piltover, but the prerequisite is that the two city-states can maintain the status quo.
However, after this big incident that shocked the whole city, the congressmen and the big family who had no reason to attack Zu An found an opportunity.
Once the fragile peace between the two cities is broken, the bottom city will be more oppressed and the people's lives will become more miserable. Even if Fandel does not want to participate in such a thing, his men will not think so.
When the time comes, Fandel may not be able to control his men, and he may even be unable to stand it and lead Zaun to resist.
Even if he has enmity with Silko, they may unite to resist the oppression of Piltover, just like the "Day of Ashes" a few years ago...
Secondly, even if Li Lin can't convince a few congressmen, he can take a big gamble and bring Camille out as his backing.
Although there was some suspicion of taking advantage of her, based on his conversation with her last night, Li Lin felt that she would most likely not mind his "fake power".
After all, he did this to maintain stability and peace in the twin cities.
He has exactly the same philosophy as Camille, except for one who is not loyal to the Philos family.
Of course, it is best not to use this trump card...
The third point is also a dispensable point. With his current research on inventions such as generators, Hex energy crystals, and exoskeleton power armor, he has achieved some success.
This can also be regarded as a plus point in convincing the congressmen and other family representatives.
As long as we solve the environmental pollution problem in Zu'an first, and then focus on improving people's livelihood, and improve their living conditions first, everything will be easy to follow.
Relieving conflicts does not happen overnight and requires years of practice.
The only problem is that these upper-city families will most likely not fund the construction of Zaun.
If you want to change the current situation in Zaun, you have to start with the alchemy barons who currently control Zaun.
I still have to go to the dark alley to find Fander...
Li Lin sighed silently in his heart.
"World peace..." Hearing this sentence, Mel smiled.
Noxus is now invading Ionia, how dare you say that.
She added in her mind, but didn't say it out loud.
Her mother was the head of the Noxian branch of the Myrdalda family.
As a militaristic expansionist country, performance and military exploits are very important.
As an imperial noble of the Myrdalda branch of Noxus, he has contributed a lot in the invasion of Ionia in recent years.
Mel investigated Li Lin and found out that he was an Ionian and had fled to Piltover due to the war.
She would not open any pot and rub salt on his wounds.
After a moment of pause, Mel calmed down and said seriously: "It's a beautiful idea, but can you do it?"
"It's because I have confidence that I say this." Li Lin and Mel looked at each other, not timid at all, "And I think I have the ability."
From one side of the congressmen's round table, a low mechanical voice came:
"Do you have the ability to say that you think that your invention of the powered armor can change the conflicts between the two cities?"
"Not just the power armor, but also the Hex energy crystal, Senator Polpok." Jace beside Li Lin couldn't help but remind him.
Hearing his voice, the parliament hall once again burst into exclamations:
"Hex Crystal?! Did I hear that right..."
"Oh my god, isn't that the technology of the Philos family?"
"I think this kid is really crazy!"
"Energy crystal...could it be that this is the epoch-making product that the congressmen are talking about?"
"Now that the Gila Mann family has revealed two era-defining inventions, what is the other one?"
"..."
Since last night's Evolution Day Conference was not held as scheduled, the generator and Hex Energy Crystal were not displayed to everyone.
Except for a few council members, other families do not know about the Hex Energy Crystal.
At this moment, after learning that Li Lin dared to research the most taboo technology in Pi City, many emotions such as curiosity, excitement, panic, and gloating emerged in the hearts of different family representatives.
"Jace!" Mrs. Karina couldn't help but shouted sharply when she saw that Jace actually spoke for Li Lin regardless of the occasion.
"Sorry Senator Gila Mann, I'm just telling the truth."
Jace ignored Karina's angry eyes, looked at Li Lin who looked back with a surprised expression, and nodded slightly.
Then, Jace turned to look at Polpok and continued:
"Although Congressman Gila Mann may have told you that Hex Energy Crystal was jointly developed by Li Lin and I.
"But in fact, I didn't contribute much. The energy crystal was basically independently developed by Li Lin. I just provided ideas and took advantage of it."
After saying this, Jace turned back to look at Li Lin again, a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes.
I can only help you so far, the rest is up to you.
Li Lin, who saw the meaning in Jace's eyes, nodded gratefully to him, and then continued to look at Mel.
As far as the current situation is concerned, if the Congressman Myrdalda, who is vaguely headed by the House of Representatives, can be persuaded, the matter in the Twin Cities will basically be settled.
Mel dragged his chin with his right hand and thought for a moment, then slowly asked:
"Okay, now that you've said that, I'd really like to hear your opinion on how you want to solve the current problems in Zaun, and how you plan to ease the conflicts between the two city-states without harming the interests of our family. ?”
She emphasized the word "we" a little.
There's drama!
Li Lin's eyes flashed, and he heard the hidden meaning in Mel's words.
It doesn't matter as long as it doesn't harm the interests of their congressman families.
As for other families, he needs to deal with it alone.
"My thoughts are this..."
In the following time, Li Lin quickly informed all the congressmen of his original plan, and at the same time answered all their tricky questions.
Fortunately, both Caitlin and Jess helped to speak, so these congressmen were speechless and speechless.
The argument was stopped until Li Lin felt his mouth was dry and his throat was smoking.
Mel looked around, then scanned the other family representatives for a while, then raised his tone and said in a loud voice:
"I think everyone knows what Mr. Li Lin is thinking. This matter is a major event for both city-states. I hope you will be fair and objective in the next vote and not be affected by external factors...
"If you support Mr. Li Lin, please show your hands and vote."
The family representatives in the gallery looked at each other. After a long time, no one wanted to be the one who stood out.
Just when Li Lin was feeling heavy and feeling bad, a weak-looking young man wearing Piltover University uniform, with slightly messy short and medium hair, and leaning on a cane slowly raised his hand.
His expression was slightly hesitant, as if he had made a decision after an inner struggle.
"Oh ho ho~~ His name is Victor, and he is my teaching assistant." Heimerdinger smiled, blew his beard, and gave a brief introduction to everyone, "He represents the University of Piltover today."
It turned out to be Victor who had not yet mechanically ascended. No wonder the system panel could collect ten heroes yesterday.
Li Lin had an impression of this young man. It seemed that he was lying next to Heimerdinger in the hall of the Piltover Auditorium last night.
With the first person taking the lead, hands came out one after another scattered in the auditorium.
Many of the lower-class families were born in Zu'an, and they made a fortune and rose to the top of the city because of their invention of a certain practical patent.
"Elora." Mel waved towards the crowd and called out a name softly.
A woman who looked to be about the same age as Mel, wearing a similar color and type of clothing, came out, writing and drawing on the noteboard, and counting people.
After a while, Elola placed several pieces of paper in front of each member of Congress, bowed before retreating into the crowd.
Mel picked up the paper and looked at it, with a faint smile on his face. "It seems that the families who support and oppose it are about evenly divided."
Then, she put down the paper in her hand and glanced at the faces of the congressmen with different expressions. "Then let's vote by a show of hands. If you support Mr. Li Lin's proposal, please raise your hands."
The critical moment...
Li Lin's heart was beating fast and he could not restrain his nervousness.
Several congressmen looked at each other, and finally Heimerdinger raised his short hand first: "I agree."
His position was illuminated by a ceiling-lit Hextech spotlight.
"I agree too."
To the surprise of Li Lin, Caitlin and Jess, Karina, who was still angry just now, also raised her hand.
A thoughtful look flashed in Mel's eyes, "Well, I think Mr. Li Lin's proposal is feasible, and I agree."
"What?"
"Congressman Myrdalda, why don't you..."
"No..."
Those who exclaimed were members Voslaton, Hoskar and Polpok.
Salo didn't say a word at first, but when Mel looked at him sideways, he sighed and raised his hand: "I also agree...but I have conditions."
"Please tell me, Representative Salo." Li Lin nodded.
"First of all, there is the issue of sponsorship. The Salo family will not provide you with any sponsorship. As for other families..." Salo quickly looked around and then focused on Li Lin again, "It depends on your own ability."
"no problem."
Anyway, I don’t expect your families to contribute money to help me, and it will only be you who will regret it.
Li Lin kept a polite smile and thought in his mind.
"Secondly, you just mentioned so many ideas. It is undeniable that they are indeed feasible, but you did not mention how long it will take for you to show results."
Councilor Salo snorted lightly, "I think it's better to do this. We'll give you three years, and you must show us results that satisfy us."
Three years is too short...
Li Lin frowned slightly. Just when he was about to say something, Heimerdinger, who was facing him at the round table of members, spoke first:
"Congressman Salo, three years has indeed been a bit embarrassing... But all scientists should understand some truths. There is no need to rush to complete a scientific result."
His voice was a bit shrill, but not harsh.
"I think this young man really wants to contribute to the two city-states. We might as well be more lenient and give him more time to let him do it. I think ten years is pretty good."
"Ten years?!" Councilors Salo, Hoskal, and Voslaton exclaimed at the same time.
"Don't worry, ten years will pass in the blink of an eye."
Heimerdinger waved his hand, completely unaware that the yordle's concept of time was completely different from that of ordinary humans.
"How about this, we all take a step back." Mel said in time to mediate, "How about giving Mr. Li Lin five years, neither too urgent nor too easy?"
She winked at Li Lin.
Li Lin took a deep breath and hurriedly took the opportunity to say: "In five years, I can produce results that satisfy everyone."
"Okay, five years is all, I can afford to wait." Councilor Salo was dissatisfied, but he still waved his hand and agreed.
Then, seeing that Li Lin seemed to be confident, he poured a basin of cold water in time, "But don't worry, there is one last thing."
"Please tell me."
Salo glanced at Li Lin coldly, "What if you can't do it?"
This is to prepare for an attack and to take advantage of the opportunity...
Li Lin's heart trembled, "I..."
As soon as he said a word, Karina on the other side responded loudly: "The Gila Mann family guarantees Li Lin."
"Mother……"
"Mrs. Karina...
This time, other congressmen, Li Lin, Caitlin, Jess and the audience representatives were all extremely shocked.
Voslaton opened his mouth wide, "Congressman Gila Mann, what are you doing?"
"I don't think you have to go to this extent for a mere craftsman." Polpok also dissuaded.
Li Lin found that Mrs. Karina did not look at him, as if the anger in her heart had not dissipated.
But even so, she is still willing to put all the bets on herself...
Why?
Li Lin's mood was a bit complicated and he couldn't understand it.
"I have decided." Karina said coldly, "Li Lin is a craftsman of the Giramann family. If he fails to do it, the Giramann family is willing to take responsibility for his actions."
"This..." By this time, Salo had nothing to say. He shook his head helplessly and sighed, "Okay, I agree."
"Good, now that everyone has decided."
Mel looked at Li Lin, with a vague smile on his face.
"Mr. Li Lin, according to the agreement, you need to produce results that satisfy us within five years. The Gila Mann family will guarantee you. Everyone present is a witness to the agreement. Can you accept it?"
Li Lin exhaled heavily, "Okay."
Mel put a smile on his face, slowly stood up from the chair, and announced to everyone in the hall:
"The vote ratio is now 4:3, and I declare that Mr. Li Lin's proposal is valid."
Because it was difficult to separate the chapters, I merged the two chapters.
Thanks to book friend 20190815101255500 for the reward!
In addition, I am also very grateful to the original sin Junchu boss and the possible cat cake boss for their recommendations!
