Many people present had heard of the Aerial Combat Machine Storm from the craftsmen who had returned from their Shurima family, but had never seen it in person.
The peculiarly shaped morning light was even more mysterious. I had only seen it passing through the streets half a year ago when I followed Li Lin on board the ship to Shurima, and it was floating high in the air when I came back.
Li Lin basically never used it in front of the craftsmen in Shurima, and almost no one knew its specific purpose.
Judging from its shape and the gun barrel on the right arm, it is obviously a weapon used in combat.
Yabus twirled his big mustache, raised his eyebrows, and fell into deep thought.
Since investing in armor fails, this batch of robots seems to be a good choice?
"Hehe, what is this? It's so ugly." Joyson sneered and continued to pester.
Li Lin stared at him coldly. The other representatives standing next to Joyson sensed the smell of gunpowder in the air and moved away from him intentionally or unintentionally.
This just gave Li Lin a convenience.
He gave orders to the Storm Robots, and 15 robots simultaneously activated the "overload charging" function, with blue light flashing all over their bodies.
They arced through the air and flew straight towards Joyson.
The storm robots were very fast, and by the time Joyson reacted, he was surrounded by them.
"You, you, you...what are you doing?!"
He dodged in a panic, but had no way to escape and was forced to endure the burning of the propulsion unit's tail flame.
Li Lin deliberately controlled the distance of the storm so that it would not hurt Joyson but would just touch his clothes.
Within a few seconds, most of his clothes had been burned, revealing his blackened skin.
"Damn it! Damn it! I'm the representative of the Joyson family! How dare you humiliate me in front of so many other families!"
Li Lin ignored Joyson and just looked around at the other family representatives with a smile.
These families have come to him for cooperation, and he is now in a dominant position.
Representatives of other families would not offend him for the sake of a second-rate medium-sized family.
Besides, this is Gilaman, and it's his territory.
This is where Li Lin’s confidence comes from.
"I think I heard a dog barking... I really don't know who is so incompetent that they can't even train a dog properly."
“You…you!”
Joyson wanted to speak back, but with every word he spoke, the storm came closer and closer, beginning to burn his skin.
"It's just a dog. Since its owner is not well trained and it runs to my house and barks, it's not too much for me to help its owner educate it, right?"
Li Lin deliberately revealed a distressed look, muttering to himself, oblivious to the others, "Well, it could also be rabies. That would be difficult to deal with... It would be better to kill it and rid the people of this evil."
“You, you, you…how dare you kill someone in public…Ahhhh!”
As Joyson spoke, the storm grew closer, and he seemed to smell the burning odor of his own flesh and blood.
He looked for help to the representatives of other families, but they all pretended to be deaf and dumb. Even Yabus seemed to ignore him and seemed angry about what had just happened.
Joyson suddenly remembered that an old friend from another family had said that this kid had traveled to Shurima with a group of cruel Noxians. When they returned, they were left alone with a mercenary group leader. He was also accompanied by a god-like warrior, with whom he had a good relationship...
Killing people in the desert is a very common thing, and in Piltover, he is just a small figure from a second-rate family and cannot be compared with a craftsman like him who is famous throughout the city.
Even if he kills himself, not only will the Jiraman family clean up his mess, but the other families will also pretend that he never existed...
Seeing that Li Lin really didn't seem to care about his own life, Joyson almost cried out.
Originally, this time, he was asked by the head of the family to deliberately make things difficult for the Jiraman family, but he didn't expect that he would not gain any advantage, but instead suffered losses, and even lost his life.
"You, you can't do this...it's against the law!"
"Yabs, I think we can discuss cooperation with Morning Light."
"Oh~~? Chen Guang is..."
Li Lin pointed to the floating device behind him.
And the Storm Robot continued to approach.
"I'm sorry! I was wrong... Please let me go!" Joyson shouted in despair for his own life.
"Alright, Li Lin, he's been punished. Let him go." Kalina suppressed her joy and reminded him, "You're a public figure now. Be mindful of your influence."
As she spoke, she leaned close to Li Lin's ear and added in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "He won't live for a few days anyway. There's no way that old guy Qiao Yisen would keep him."
Li Lin nodded, waved his hand and ordered Feng Bao to return to his side.
Joyson, with tears streaming down his face, covered his exposed body with his hands and ran away dejectedly facing the mocking gazes of the crowd.
His gaze lingered on Representative Joyson who was running away for a moment, then Li Lin returned his gaze to Yabus and put a polite smile on his face again.
"Okay, now that the troublesome mad dog has left, we can continue discussing our cooperation."
"Hmm...are we only able to work together on this floating device?" Yabus was clearly not happy with this. "Aren't these robots enough?"
He still cares a lot about the air combat machine Storm.
Piltover does not advocate the development of weapons, but that does not mean that every family does not have weapons.
Firearms are one thing, and the emerging energy weapons are dominated by the Gilaman family, who almost monopolize the market.
It's not that they haven't thought about the issue of combat robots.
However, since there were no smart chips before, the auxiliary chips only reduced the process of inputting some program instructions, and it was already very good to let the robot do some repetitive and simple work.
Now Li Lin has developed a smart chip and applied for a patent, but the first few batches of chips were purchased by him alone for other uses and will not be sold to the outside world.
The Philos family is unwilling to fall behind. If they can buy Storm, the craftsmen can avoid many detours.
"I attended a council meeting before, and at that time most families were against developing weapons."
"Is there such a thing?"
Yabus glanced deliberately at the Porpok and Voslaton families.
Both of their families are arms families, but they have nothing to do with opposing the development of weapons.
Representatives Bolpok and Voslaton intentionally or unintentionally avoided eye contact with Yabus, pretending that they had not heard anything.
"Piltover hopes for peace. These machines of mine will only bring strife, so let's forget about them."
Li Lin let the morning light descend between him and Yabus, and smiled slightly: "The morning light is different..."
