"Mr. Li Lin, would you like coffee or tea?"
In the luxuriously decorated living room of the Jiraman family, a maid was preparing tea for Li Lin.
"Tea, please."
"You're very kind. This is my duty."
The maid placed a cup of tea with a faint fragrance on the table in front of Li Lin.
"Madam will come to see you soon after she finishes interviewing today's student workers. If you need anything, just call me. I'm outside." After saying that, the maid bowed to Li Lin and walked out of the reception room.
After no one was around, Li Lin, who had been on edge, finally breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to himself, "Ah...it's really not easy to come to another world."
Li Lin is a time traveler who traveled through time not long ago and replaced the Ionian boy of the same name who worked odd jobs in a compass repair shop at the Sun Gate Pier.
Relying on his "experience" of various games, movies, and novels, as well as the memories of the original owner of his body, he quickly figured out what kind of world he had come to - the Runeland in the League of Legends.
Since his "birthplace" was randomly chosen to be Piltover, the cultural center of the entire Valoran continent, which values innovation and is known as the "City of Progress", Li Lin was naturally unwilling to be a wage earner who would eat and wait for death.
In this city full of steampunk and fantasy, and which is quite different from the real historical trend, it is not difficult to reach the peak of life as long as you understand innovation and have dreams.
As the annual Evolution Day approaches, Li Lin, possessing a modern mindset, quickly defines his goals:
Copy homework.
At first, he wanted to be a plagiarist and bring the novels, comic scripts, etc. that he had read into this world.
This is the easiest and simplest way to become famous. Anyway, no one will come to another world to sue you for infringement.
However, when an emotionless, mechanical notification sounded inexplicably in his mind, his thoughts changed...
[Name: Li Lin]
[Occupation: Mechanic]
[Level: 1]
HP: 465/465
Mana: 50/50
[Combat Power: 5]
[Skills to master: basic manufacturing, data-driven thinking]
[Wealth: 0 Blue Essence, 0 Orange Essence]
[Insufficient level, function not unlocked...]
After Li Lin awakened his golden finger, the system created a mechanic profession for him and also "thoughtfully" gave him a [Data-based Thinking] skill.
Data-driven thinking can temporarily digitize the world in front of him like in a game by consuming mana.
For example, when flipping through a book, he does not need to read it word by word, but a progress bar will be displayed.
When the progress bar is full, he will know the contents of the book thoroughly.
Li Linlai's "Pledge of Allegiance" to the Jiraman family was based on this skill. He designed it after learning a lot of mechanical principles in Piltover and combining it with the knowledge he had learned in school.
At this stage, Piltover's overall technology is only at the level of steam technology, with at most some alchemy technology, and even the Industrial Revolution has not taken place. Devices that require a lot of energy rely on hex crystals.
But according to Li Lin's understanding of the background, the technology of Hextech crystals is monopolized by the Ferros family where Camille is from. It is expensive, highly polluting and unstable.
After comprehensive consideration, he decided to bring more economical and practical "electricity" to the world.
It can not only help him gain a foothold in this progressive city as quickly as possible, but also conform to his professional characteristics as a mechanic.
After a brief moment of daze, Li Lin took a sip of the slightly cooled tea and began to look around the reception room, which was decorated in a way that could be described as luxurious.
The most eye-catching thing is a huge family photo hanging on the wall of the stairs leading to the second floor next to the sofa.
The Gilamans also had a little girl with a Mauser rifle.
Caitlyn Gilaman, the daughter of the Gilaman family, will become the sheriff of the Piltover Police in the future.
The reason why Li Lin chose to come to the Jiraman family was because of her.
As one of the heroes in the League of Legends game, Caitlyn can basically be called the protagonist of the Piltover region in the background.
While Li Lin's gaze lingered on the family portrait, he suddenly noticed a figure at the corner of the stairs on the second floor.
When he moved his gaze, he found that it was a girl who looked somewhat similar to the little girl in the family photo, but much older.
She had deep blue eyes and dark purple hair tied into a short ponytail hanging behind her head. She was wearing a brown hunter's suit and carried a Bilgewater-style Mauser rifle on her back.
How come Caitlin came just when I was thinking about her...
After seeing the figure clearly, Li Lin immediately put down the cup and stood up. "May the gears turn forward, Miss Jiraman."
"May the gears turn right, sir."
Caitlin nodded slightly, walked down the stairs, stopped beside Li Lin, and looked at the boy who was about the same age as her curiously.
The clothes he was wearing were crudely made, and the fabric was the cheapest on the market. He was probably not a member of any family.
The man is a little thin and looks malnourished. He doesn't look like he is from Piltover or Zaun. He is quite attractive and should be from the East.
It just so happened that the Evolution Day was approaching, and the family was recruiting apprentices these days, so he should be the apprentice who came for the interview.
But the interview should be in the interview room, and I was invited to the reception room, and there was tea, so I must have some special talent that my mother noticed...
