If this old guy knew that Li Lin was studying the Hextech crystal that was a secret of the Firos family, he would definitely send Camille to have tea with him.

"I guess so."

Li Lin has no plans to tell Caitlin about the crisis in Runeterra for the time being.

She's just an ordinary person, there's no need for that.

"In that case, why don't you give up your research on Hextech crystals?" Caitlin felt a little confused.

"Not to mention the untold wealth you'll gain from the bicycle's patents, the invention of a generator that can advance the times is enough to bring you fame. Isn't that enough?"

"Everyone's dream is different Caitlin."

Li Lin began to coax him again, "I know you don't like being a scientist and have other hobbies, so you may not understand the sense of accomplishment of being a mechanic and an inventor, researching new technologies to benefit the people."

"..." Caitlin pursed her lips and remained silent.

She suddenly thought of the smile that her mother often had on her face when she was a Hextech craftsman before becoming a Piltover senator, and imagined the joy of life.

But now, most of the time, the only thing in her eyes is the occasional boredom.

Piltover is full of temptations, and the sweet talk wrapped in gilded sugar can harden the kindest heart.

Caitlin thought again of the words her mother often warned her.

Combined with Li Lin's words, she seemed to understand her mother's intention.

Piltover is indeed a "city of progress", but if a person only has achievements but loses his dreams, he will eventually get lost in this chaotic life of decadence and dissipation.

Li Lin's dream is to benefit the people through his inventions and creations, but what is my dream...

Caitlin lowered her eyes, her heart in turmoil.

Even Li Lin didn't know that the words he made up would cause her to have so many associations.

"Do you have to go to the Undercity?" Catelyn looked up at him and asked softly.

Li Lin nodded.

"In that case...I'll go with you too."

Hearing her unquestionable tone, Li Lin was stunned for a moment, "...Huh?"
