Chapter 417 Recent Situation in Pi City
Li Lin had a good talk with Caitlin and listened to her talk about the current situation in Piltover.
After taking off her Void Living Skin, Kai'Sa likes to run out more. Every day when she has nothing to do, she drags Orianna to Seraphine to practice singing and dancing. I heard that they are planning to find a time to hold a free charity event in Agnostic Square. show.
At Piltover University, Blast, Ike, Zelie and Milo all showed extraordinary talents and were highly valued by the academy. Wei and Clegg also went very smoothly in training at the Law Enforcement Officer Academy.
Especially Ike, who has shown amazing scientific research talent, has been accepted as an apprentice by Heimerdinger.
Li Lin still felt a little guilty about this.
After all, when I brought Ike to Pi City, I said I wanted him to be my apprentice, but because I was too busy, I barely had time to teach him anything.
But now that Heimerdinger appreciates Ike's talent, accepting him as his student is of course a better choice.
Li Lin thinks that his ability to teach people is not as good as Heimerdinger, even though this frizzy yordle often makes all kinds of dangerous mistakes...
Jess and Victor also have their own scientific research directions.
Since Jace invented Hex's Flying Gate, all his thoughts are now on his "Mercury's Hammer".
Through Li Lin's material compression and nanotechnology, he successfully transformed the warhammer into a watch. It can be carried on the wrist on weekdays and can be quickly expanded and formed when necessary.
In addition, he also developed an acceleration gate that can cooperate with the "electric energy surge" fired in the form of Mercury Cannon, and greatly increased the firing power and speed of the energy cannon. Its power is not much weaker than that of a plasma cannon.
Nowadays, Jace's main research direction is the "kinetic energy acceleration" of Mercury's Hammer, which can obtain maximum kinetic energy with a very short swing distance, thereby exerting maximum effect with minimum effort.
On the other side, Blitz, the steam robot developed by Victor, actually developed self-awareness and mastered the ability to learn and think.
After research at the academy, it was discovered that Blitzcrank was completely different from ordinary intelligent robots, especially Li Lin's mechanical engineer. It was an unprecedented invention.
Even when it is sent to help the people of Zaun, it sometimes causes some destruction...
Fortunately, there is no Alchemy Baron in Zaun now. Except for the area that Mondo helps manage, the managers of the other two areas are all old acquaintances of Li Lin.
In addition, at Li Lin's request, the Gila Mann family took care of everything for Victor, and he was not held accountable for Blitzcrank.
In the college, another professor named Stanwyck was expelled from the college because he was found to have committed academic fraud. Instead, Victor was selected as a professor by the college, filling the vacancy left by Stanwyck's abdication and becoming the best professor in the history of the college. The young professor fulfilled his dream that he had held for the first half of his life.
According to Caitlin, Victor is currently studying a gravity field device, which seems to be based on Heimerdinger's idea and is preparing for humans to fly out of Runeterra, which surprises Li Lin.
In the original world line, Victor's gravity restriction facility was mainly used for weapons. At that time, he had already transformed himself and became a mechanical transformation person of "Mechanical Ascension".
The wings of the butterfly flapped. Now he did not suffer the same tragic experience and was treated unfairly. Even his body had returned to normal due to the "gene enhancement potion", and he would naturally no longer be hostile to the human body. , extremely wants to lead everyone to "glorious evolution", but just devotes himself to new scientific research and development.
After learning about the current situation in Piltover, Li Lin roughly told her all his experiences during this period under Caitlin's questioning.
From rescuing Jarvan IV and driving back the blood magic war group in Noxus, to facing Fiddlesticks and letting Zoe seal him, then going to Demacia, being appreciated by the king, and helping the Winged God to protect God. The reconciliation between the sisters helped Xiongdu survive a civil strife crisis in which high-level officials colluded with hostile forces and cooperated internally and externally.
Of course, this does not include the confirmed relationship with Zoe, nor the communication and ambiguity with Sona.
Li Lin hadn't figured out how to tell Caitlin these things yet, so he simply skipped it, lest the hard-fought meeting suddenly turn into a "Shura Field" and cause too much unpleasantness.
Although this trip to Demacia is not as difficult and dangerous as the trip to Shurima, some events are still as dangerous as the Void of Shurima.
For example, Caitlin could feel how thrilling it was just by listening to the battle with Fiddlesticks, the feared demon who was the leader of the ten demons.
However, there were many things about Demacia that she was curious about.
Caitlin had heard a little bit about the forbidden magic stone that could absorb magic, but she didn't know about Galio who might have come to life by absorbing magic. She thought he and Malphite were of the same race.
After Li Lin explained, she realized that Galio was the "spirit" of the forbidden magic stone, from unconsciousness to consciousness, and the floating fortress monolith to which the lava beast originally belonged was originally a living stone. Now Malphite is just a monolith. It's just a part of consciousness.
In addition, Caitlin is also very interested in Demacia's customs, etiquette and customs, as well as the spectacular Dawn Castle.
She was even more shocked when she learned that Li Lin had obtained the status of an honorary member of the Light Shield royal family, became a duke, and had reached a cooperative relationship with Demacia officials on behalf of the Gila Mann family and opened official trade channels. Not close anymore.
Immediately, she urgently made a phone call to contact her parents, and then asked the helpless Li Lin to quickly get dressed, and took him to see the Gila Manns who were rushing home, and reorganized these things. The content was repeated.
Karina and Elro were both shocked when they heard what Li Lin had done, and thought they had heard wrongly.
After a while, they realized that Li Lin now had the same power as the Piltover Representative just by virtue of his status as Demacia.
Even if he leaves the Gilaman family and goes to Demacia, his status will only be higher than it is now.
What's more, the Gila Mann family can now be regarded as the number one family in Piltover. Their status has risen, mainly because of Li Lin.
He is no longer what he used to be.
Karina felt that it was a very wise decision for her to sponsor this little-known young man and for her daughter Caitlin to be with him, binding the Gila Mann family tightly to him.
At the same time, she couldn't help but feel lucky that Li Lin valued relationships and did not abandon Caitlin or the Gila Mann family to join Demacia.
Under the warm "homecoming dinner" reception of Mr. and Mrs. Gila Mann, Li Lin, Caitlin, Kasha and Jace, who came belatedly, had dinner together, laughing and chatting until late.
After saying good night to each other, Li Lin accompanied Caitlin, who had always retained her sleeping habit, to sleep. Then he gently covered her with a quilt and took the elevator down to the sterile laboratory underground.
By leveling up to level 75, he has already unlocked new body enhancement techniques.
Time is running out now, and he must force himself not to take any time off.
After taking a deep breath, Li Lin's clothes turned into a white coat, and after undergoing heavy disinfection procedures, he stepped into the door of the laboratory.
Immediately afterwards, Zhinao's neutral voice echoed in his ears:
[Welcome back, Master. 】
【What can I do for you? 】
Li Lin walked to the test bench with a solemn expression, thinking about the new technology unlocked by the individual strengthening route in his mind, and was silent for a moment.
"Prepare the materials needed for genetic enhancement surgery."
