Chapter 50 Relax, kid, there's always time for a cup of tea



Several combined blue lights flickered on the sofa in the corner of the room, shining like a small desk lamp equipped with hextech batteries.

This voice...

Li Lin's heart trembled.

He quickly reached for the switch of the chandelier in the room next to him, and the dim alchemical light came on, revealing the full appearance of this uninvited guest.

It was a familiar figure.

The Steel Shadow - Camille Ferros.

Li Lin was a little dazed, "Mrs. Gray..."

At this time, Camille was holding a kettle that had just boiled water and pouring water into a small teapot filled with tea leaves.

Under the light, she slowly raised her face, which was as delicate as porcelain, and looked at Li Lin with her blue eyes.

She looked a little arrogant, and her Hextech prosthetic eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything stayed on Li Lin's face for a moment, then retracted.

"I'm just about to make tea. The quality of Jilaman's tea is pretty good." She raised a faint arc at the corner of her mouth and said calmly.

A dense layer of fine sweat oozed out of Li Lin's forehead and back.

He pretended to be calm and touched the door handle behind him.

If the situation turned against him, he could quickly unlock the door and run to the workshop in the side house.

The power armor is a bit heavy and large, and is not suitable for storage in the workshop on the top floor.

Therefore, Li Lin had previously applied to Mrs. Kalina for an independent workshop where he would study the power mecha and store it there normally.

As for the Hextech energy crystal, he carried it with him and put it in the safe when he went to bed at night.

But now, Li Lin regretted his original decision - he shouldn't have parked the power armor so far away from himself.

The daily comfort gave him the illusion that the Gilaman family was absolutely safe.

However, the fact is that the fact that Wei, Baobao and the other three broke into his room to steal things is enough to prove that the security here really needs to be improved.

Because he was more familiar with Wei and Baobao, he did not consider the safety issues in depth at that time.

In addition, Li Lin thought that his research on Hextech crystals was conducted in secret and not made public for the time being, so the Philos family should not find out and send Camille to eliminate him.

But he forgot that C was killed tonight by Camille, and she might have seen his power armor and Jayce's hammer, which obviously used "Hex Crystal" as the energy core.

In other words, it would be strange if she didn't come to me...

How careless!

Li Lin cursed himself inwardly for being stupid, but pretended to be calm and asked, "What do you want from a nobody like me?"

Camille had a faint smile on her face, "Relax, kid."

She slowly poured the tea from the teapot into two exquisite porcelain teacups on the table.

As a wisp of water vapor drifted into the air, a light and elegant tea fragrance quickly filled the entire room.

"There's always time for a cup of tea before getting down to business."

Camille gracefully picked up the teacup, took a sip, and waved to Li Lin to sit over here.

Li Lin's throat moved, and beads of cold sweat slid down his temples and gathered on his chin.

This was the first time in the almost one month since he traveled through time that he encountered a situation that caught him off guard and left him helpless.

And this was after he invented the power armor...

Not to mention Tony Stark's later nano armor, as long as he had the level of portable power armor he built in the early stage, he would not feel so powerless when facing the Blue Steel Shadow.

My own growth progress is indeed a bit slow.

Li Lin secretly made up his mind that he must focus on inventing new items and quickly improve his level.

Under Camille's scrutinizing gaze, Li Lin swallowed and sat down on the sofa opposite her.

“A wise choice.”

Camille smiled slightly and pushed the second porcelain cup filled with tea in front of Li Lin.

"Come and have a cup of tea. I think I'm pretty good at making tea."

Li Lin picked up the tea with some trepidation, blew gently a few times to remove the hot air, and then slowly took a sip.

No matter how skilled Camille was at making tea, he couldn't taste anything as he felt his life was hanging on the edge of a knife.

"I wonder what you want to see me about tonight?" Li Lin put down his tea and asked again tentatively.

Camille lowered her eyes and stared at her teacup. "I want to know, did you invent that power armor?"

It is indeed this!

Li Lin calculated his chances of escaping her clutches and nodded, "It's indeed my invention. I originally wanted to use it in..."

"I'm not asking you anything else. You just need to answer my questions." Camille interrupted him directly.

"Uh..." Li Lin was choked by this and was about to shut his mouth and wait to answer whatever Camille asked.

Can this be called cowardice?

This is called strategic thinking!

Seeing how obedient he was, Camille felt she had saved herself some effort. "What's its power source?"

"this……"

Li Lin hesitated for two seconds.

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be Hextech crystal."

Camille drank the tea in the porcelain cup, then picked up the teapot and poured another cup in.

"But if it were ordinary hex crystals, they wouldn't be that stable. Otherwise, the Tallis kid would have put his hammer into practice long ago."

She glanced at Li Lin, who was fidgeting restlessly. His face was emotionless. "You've been researching Hextech crystals for a long time. The energy core of this power armor is the result of your research, right?"
