It has been several days since the Piltover Council imposed sanctions on the Audilenk family.
These days, apart from how to celebrate Evolution Day, the topic that citizens are most talking about is the story published in the Piltover Daily about the head of the Audilenk family who committed suicide out of fear of guilt after failing to kidnap the eldest daughter of the Gilaman family.
In fact, even Karina herself had not expected this to happen.
She originally just wanted to use an excuse to suppress this family that was always making trouble, but she didn't expect that she would hit the mark unexpectedly and wipe out their entire family.
However, she was very happy to see this situation, and even sponsored newspapers to report extensively to maintain the heat, in order to deter others who dared to go against the Jiraman family.
Although the kidnapping planned by the Audilenk family has come to an end, Li Lin, who realizes that he is facing a crisis and still has no power to resist, is not willing to be satisfied with the status quo.
In order to improve his abilities, he specifically asked Caitlin to give him comprehensive training.
How to use various firearms, combat training, physical training, hunting skills training...
In just a few days, with the help of the [Mechanic] panel, he successfully acquired new skills:
[Gun Mastery] and [Basic Combat] increased his combat power rating by 2 points!
Although it's better than nothing, at least it can prevent him from being so helpless when facing certain threats before he grows up.
In addition to daily training under Caitlin's supervision, Li Lin did not stop his mechanical research.
After the parliament ended that day, Lady Kalina specifically asked him about the new weapons.
In order to win the support of the Jiraman family, Li Lin specially gave her the design drawings of the Hextech revolver.
Fortunately, Mrs. Karina is not a person who sticks to the status quo and is very good at adapting.
After learning that this weapon needed Hextech crystal as its functional core, she gave Li Lin a large sum of money without hesitation, allowing him to further improve the design of the pistol as much as possible.
At the same time, she is also sending people to contact the Philos family, hoping to reach a cooperation with them in the application of Hextech crystals, and negotiations are currently underway.
In the northern part of Piltover, the clock on the top floor of the Zodiac Bank struck the third time.
In Li Lin's studio on the top floor of the Jiraman family's wing, he and Jace were discussing something.
"Is this what you call an exoskeleton-powered arm?"
Jace gently stroked his smooth chin, looking at the mechanical device on the shelf with a confused look on his face, which looked very much like a Hextech augmented prosthesis.
This completely black powered arm is made of alloy and countless tiny mechanical gears. It has a flat appearance and a simple structure. When retracted, it is about the same size and thickness as a normal person's arm.
In addition, there are many gear grooves on the back of the hand, which are left for loading and unloading specific tools in the future.
Jace could see that if the robotic arm had a power supply, it might fit perfectly on a human arm.
At first glance, this design concept is actually quite good.
But Jace always felt that this thing overlapped with the image of something in his mind...
After thinking for a long time, he finally realized that this thing was the Atlas boxing gloves invented by Kerwin Levick!
"What's the difference between this and the Atlas gloves that miners often use?" Jace reached out and touched the mechanical power arm.
"There's a huge difference." Li Lin slapped his hand away and took out a unique-looking revolver from the drawer.
Jace gasped and took several steps back. "Hey, calm down! I just wanted to touch you. Why would you use force?"
Li Lin rolled his eyes at him with a look of concern for the mentally retarded, and took out a piece of blue Hextech crystal fragment from the original position of the revolver.
"This is... my crystal fragment? Why is it in a revolver?"
"Eh? You didn't know?" Li Lin looked at Jace in surprise, then suddenly realized, "Oh, it's normal that you don't know. Madam Kalina didn't allow this to be told to anyone."
"What's this secret? It's so secretive, even I can't know?" Jace leaned closer. "Is this a new weapon you invented? It can even use hex crystal fragments as its core..."
He picked up the revolver and examined it carefully. He immediately understood its principle and exclaimed in astonishment, "Oh my God! You actually designed an energy weapon?!"
What's the big deal? Even if I don't design it now, someone else will invent it later.
Li Lin shook his head slightly and ignored Jace, "There's still some energy in there, which should be enough."
As he spoke, he opened a small cover at the wrist of the mechanical arm and placed the crystal fragment into the groove.
All of a sudden, the entire mechanical powered arm lit up, making a "clicking" sound of metal biting and turning, as if it had come alive.
The blue energy of the crystal fragments floated freely in the energy transmission lines within the arm, driving the mechanical gears to run and separate at a rapid speed.
In a short while, it expanded more than twice its original size.
Li Lin placed his right hand into the unfolded position of the mechanical power arm, clasped the tops of the five mechanical fingers with his five fingers, and then slowly clenched his fist.
As the gears turned again, the parts of the mechanical arm flashing with blue light were pieced together again, fitting perfectly and seamlessly on his right arm.
If an ordinary person who doesn't understand Hextech technology saw it, they would think he had replaced his arm with a Hextech enhanced prosthesis.
