The Gilamans have been busy with a lot of social engagements lately.

It was not until after dinner that the two of them came back after having some drinks.

Upon hearing the news that Li Lin had returned, Mrs. Karina's mood, which had been somewhat bad due to dealing with those old foxes, suddenly improved a lot.

Before Li Lin could report on his work, Caitlin took Kassa and introduced her to her parents.

However, the Gilamans did not understand the Void and had always been conservative towards those who could perform magic.

With Li Lin's explanation, Caitlin knew that the void was not magic, but the Gilaman couple were not sure.

Therefore, Caitlyn deliberately avoided anything related to the Void and only described the scales on Kaisa's body as a "parasitic species" and that she came to Piltover specifically to seek treatment.

With her daughter's intentional protection, Kassa was quickly accepted by the Gilaman couple, who even asked the housekeeper to hire a language teacher for her to learn Piltover language.

Afterwards, Caitlin took Kaisa to visit Piltover, while Li Lin stayed to report on Shurima's work to Lady Kalina.

He deliberately skipped over matters concerning the construction of the Hexgate, in which he had no involvement, and instead focused on the Desert Emperor's return in an ascended form, preparing to reclaim lost territory, as well as the issue of the high-energy radioactive minerals beneath the Valley of Songs.

Karina and Elro looked solemn and took these two matters very seriously.

One is that the demigod has returned, and they need to change their strategy towards Shurima.

Piltover was once part of Zaun, and rulers like them, who were at the top of the power hierarchy, naturally knew something about it, but it was not covered in historical books or daily education.

Now that the Shurima Empire has risen again, it is very likely that Piltover and Zaun will be incorporated into the territory of Shurima again. They have to hold a meeting of parliament to consider how to respond at that time.

Li Lin really wanted to remind them that there was no need to worry about this problem at all.

In the original timeline, Azir had not yet dealt with domestic affairs after several years, so it was naturally impossible for him to pay attention to the two cities separated by a strait.

They actually only need to consider the subsequent new business cooperation agreement with the Shurima Empire.

But after thinking about it, Li Lin chose to remain silent.

These congressmen have to be anxious. It would be great if the policy restricting the development of weapons could be relaxed. In the future, they would not have to hide the fact that they can manufacture their own mechanical armies.

In addition, Mrs. Karina was very interested in radioactive minerals that could provide huge amounts of energy, and immediately arranged related matters.

Radiation-resistant protective clothing and transport boxes, expedition teams and teams of experienced miners were all on the agenda.

After discussing the main issues, Mrs. Karina told Li Lin about the recent wealth brought by his invention, and she couldn't stop laughing.

In cooperation with the Philos family, the crystal factory that manufactures energy crystals has already been put on track.

In just less than three months, the total income of the Jilaman family increased by one tenth, and this was when the profit was only 10%.

Bicycle sales were booming, and hardcover mechanical watches were popular among the upper class. The Gilaman family had already produced a batch of simpler versions and put them on the general market, which were also very popular and in short supply.

Not to mention those equipment used in the military field, such as rechargeable power armor, auxiliary chips, radio, energy weapons, etc., which allowed the Jiraman family to get a share of a new field that they had never set foot in before.

Karina is now very satisfied with her original choice. This venture capital has completely distanced the overall strength of the Jiraman family from that of the fourth-ranked Bolpok family.

She also understood that Li Lin's previous promise to herself and her husband, to make the Jiraman family the first family in Piltover, was not just empty talk, but he really had the potential!

They chatted until late at night, not only discussing their visions of future development, but also the situations among countries and city-states around the world.

Mobile phones, computers, the Internet, etc., these things are so imaginative that they can even be considered "fantastic". Li Lin's concept of "Runeland Village" also shocked the Gilaman couple.

Although it was hard to believe, after seeing the changes in the past six months, they actually felt that this young man could really do it...

Until the silver moon was high in the sky and the night was deep.

They ended their conversation only after Caitlin and Kassa came back with more than a dozen bags of shopping, washed up, and went to bed.

After watching the Gilaman couple go upstairs and disappear around the corner of the corridor, Li Lin returned to his room without disturbing Caitlin.

Tonight is still a sleepless night.

There are still many variables in the future, and he is just starting out now, so he cannot relax.

Li Lin's thoughts turned, and the interface of the [Skill Panel] appeared in his mind.

He first upgraded his previously learned "Mechanical Mastery", "Mechanical Affinity", and "Mechanical Exquisiteness", which were currently at level 7, to level 11, and upgraded his "Auxiliary Chip" to the maximum level of level 10, spending a total of 15 skill points.

The level 8 "Iron Barrier" was classified into the "Combat" category after his career advancement. Li Lin temporarily only upgraded it to level 10, spending 4 skill points.

Looking at the remaining 41 skill points on the panel, Li Lin first clicked on the "Inventor" route.

There are many advanced technologies in the category of inventors, such as computers, signals and network base stations, and intelligent AI, which are the foundation of the foundation.

Electromagnetic theory, the self-evolution logic of intelligent AI, particle control technology, high-strength compressed materials... even rune technology theory, nuclear fission, nuclear fusion, quantum theory, etc. can be unlocked in the future.
