"You...really?!" Caitlin gasped.
Of course she remembered the gift she wanted that day, but she didn't expect Li Lin to actually do it, and so quickly.
"It took me almost a whole day to make your sniper rifle."
As he spoke, Li Lin pulled off the white cloth on the shelf.
A sniper rifle about 1.2 meters long, dark red in color, and with a rather strange appearance appeared in Caitlin's field of vision.
The gun has a slender body and a narrow optical sniper scope that can be switched manually or with the gun's built-in mechanical sight, and can be adjusted to a maximum magnification of 8 times.
There is a spherical groove in the middle of the gun body, in which a round and dull hextech energy crystal is fixed.
The most peculiar part is the barrel.
Unlike common rifle barrels, the barrel of this sniper rifle is composed of three thirds of a metal cone that fit together perfectly.
At the top, only the sharp apex of the cone was visible, and there was no "muzzle" that could fire bullets, which made Caitlin quite puzzled.
But she didn't ask any questions.
Since this rifle was made by Li Lin himself, it must have some special features.
Caitlin picked up the sniper rifle and felt it for a moment.
It weighed only slightly more than the Bilgewater Mauser rifle her father had given her.
Caitlin fumbled around on the gun for a few times, and even without Li Lin's guidance, she quickly found a knob that could be turned just below the energy crystal groove.
Caitlin glanced at Li Lin, and under his encouraging eyes, she gently turned the knob.
Suddenly, the energy crystal in the groove of the gun body was activated, emitting a dim blue light.
Then, as Caitlin watched in shock, the three thirds of the cone at the muzzle quickly separated and rotated.
One third of the metal cone is on top, and the other two are on the bottom, forming a symmetrical triangle shape, with a hole flashing with blue light at the location where it is connected to the gun body.
At the same time, blue arcs flickered between the cones, and a ball of energy emerged from the hole and hovered where it had just emerged.
Obviously, this is an energy weapon.
"Oh, the gears are turning forward! Could this be the Hexvinyl gun that Vishra invented?! Did you improve it?"
The Hextech Vinyl Gun she was talking about was manufactured more than ten years ago. It was one of the first attempts in Piltover to use Hextech Crystal as the energy core, and was invented specifically to supply energy weapons to law enforcement officers.
However, due to a series of serious safety issues later, the production of this energy rifle was stopped and all the rifles were sealed.
Of course Li Lin knew about such a low-level weapon. The design drawings of this weapon were in the library of Jiraman's house, collected dust on the top of the bookshelf.
It's no wonder that Caitlin mistook it for a Hextech gun. After all, this sniper rifle looks too much like a Hextech gun.
But for Li Lin, he would never use such a rubbish weapon to fool Caitlin.
With the help of the two skills [Mechanic Basics] and [Data-Based Thinking], Li Lin spent a long time researching before designing the blueprint of this rare quality laser sniper rifle.
It was just because he didn't have time and energy crystals before, so he only had the opportunity to make it in these three days.
"No, to be precise, I designed this gun myself, specifically for you."
Li Lin smiled.
"I named it... Iron Blood."
