Two Cities: I am building a mecha in Pi City

Chapter 31 The Threat in the Shadows (please read more)

As the sun sets, the entire Piltover is shrouded in an orange-red sunset.

In the auditorium of Piltover University, guests from major families, well-established and wealthy businessmen, teachers and students from the college, as well as middle- and upper-class citizens of Piltover gathered together.

They gather together in groups of threes and two, and walk around the auditorium from time to time to expand their social circle or socialize.

As the young representatives of the Gila Mann family, Li Lin, Caitlin and Jess were exhausted both physically and mentally after dealing with waves of people trying to get close to them.

The Evolution Day Conference will begin soon, and Li Lin and Jess will give speeches on stage.

There will be a dinner and a dance later, which will only make me more tired.

So under Mrs. Karina's arrangement, they went to the lounge backstage to rest.

Jace was holding a goblet filled with white wine with a lower alcohol content, and gently touched the wine glasses in Li Lin and Caitlin's hands.

"Cheers!" He raised his glass happily and drank it down.

Seeing this, Caitlin quickly reminded: "Jace, this is not how you drink wine!"

"I know, I know, it's etiquette!"

Jace wiped his mouth, and the etiquette he said had nothing to do with what he was doing now.

"But Caitlin, there are no outsiders here, why do you still pay attention to so many cumbersome and redundant etiquette?"

He put down his wine glass and sat on the soft sofa in the lounge carelessly and without caring about his image, placing his hands on the backrest.

Caitlin sighed helplessly, and sat down without saying anything else.

It's just that her sitting posture is still elegant and dignified, which is completely different from the casual way she is at home.

After all, she had been busy all day and was in good physical condition even though she exercised every day. She also wanted to relax regardless of her image.

It was just because of the etiquette education she had received since she was a child, and it was a public place, even though there were no outsiders, Caitlin still couldn't bear to do it.

In his spare time, Jess began to discuss what happened in Professor Heimerdinger's office that morning:

"I really didn't expect that Professor Heimerdinger would agree to our development of Hex Energy Crystal... I remember that he had always been opposed to Hex Technology Crystal in the past."

"What if? Not only do we have a theory, but we have also produced results. What can we do if he doesn't agree? Mrs. Karina will not waste this good opportunity to enhance the strength of the Gila Mann family."

Li Lin felt happy when he mentioned this matter, and thought of the scene when Mrs. Karina choked Heimerdinger speechless this morning.

As expected of a congressman involved in the political field, he is really easy to deal with a simple-minded yordle who only studies technology.

Moreover, Heimerdinger said not to study magic, but his later research direction was not only Hex technology, but also involved the military field.

They set up forts, launch missiles, and throw grenades.

In Summoner's Rift, Li Lin, who likes to go on the road, has often been disgusted by the top laner...

While the three were discussing, there was a gentle knock on the door of the lounge.

"Who is this? We have already entered the lounge and you are disturbing us..."

Jess, who was closest to the door, couldn't help but frown, stood up and opened the door in dissatisfaction.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't disturb you, did I?"

Standing outside the door was a young and beautiful woman with dark skin and a rather graceful manner.

Behind her, there was a little follower who was about the same age as her.

Jess recognized it at a glance. This was Mel, who was born in the Myrdalda family and was now a member of the Seven-person Council with Lady Karina.

"Congressman Myrdalda? Why are you here?" Jess was stunned for a moment, then quickly put away the dissatisfied expression on his face, "Of course I'm not interrupting, please come in!"

He turned slightly sideways and made a gesture of invitation.

"Thanks."

Mel smiled and nodded to Jace, then motioned to the woman behind him to stay at the door and walked into the house alone.

"Happy Evolution Day, Councilor Myrdalda."

Li Lin and Caitlin also stood up immediately and said hello to Mel.

Mel's eyes moved quickly, passing over the two of them, but stayed on Li Lin for a moment longer.

"Happy Evolution Day, just call me Mel." She said with a slight smile.

Caitlin noticed that the way she looked at Li Lin seemed to have other meanings, she couldn't help but frown slightly and took two steps closer to him.

If a congressman doesn't stay well with other congressmen, he will come to them for no reason?

It can be seen that this woman from the Myrdalda family is not simple-minded.

This is one of the main reasons why she dislikes politicians.

Caitlin quickly analyzed the situation, then smiled politely and said, "I wonder why Mel came to us?"

Mel didn't seem to notice Caitlin's little movements and the slight smell of gunpowder in her tone, and said to herself:

"Councillor Gila Mann boasted to us that she had found a craftsman of Mr. Tallis's intellect, and showed us all his inventions.

"I have always been interested in new things, and I also like to make friends. No, I just want to take advantage of my free time to get to know this... young genius."

As he said that, Mel's eyes focused on Li Lin.

She smiled and stretched out her hand in front of Li Lin, "My name is Mel Myrdalda, can I meet you?"

"Li Lin." Li Lin said a name lightly, and then shook her hand gently.

He could tell that Mel's purpose was not pure, so he didn't want to have too much communication with her.

Moreover, Caitlin, who was behind Li Lin, also took the initiative to pay attention to him for the first time, and secretly poked his waist to remind Mel when he wasn't paying attention.

After a few polite words to Mel, Li Lin walked out of the lounge on the pretext of using the restroom, leaving the "mess" to Caitlin and Jess to clean up.

He ran alone outside the side door of the auditorium and relaxed in the cool night breeze on the cobblestone path in the forest.

Compared to the noisy interior, the secluded forest path appears particularly quiet under the illumination of yellow-green alchemy technology street lamps.

"——Phew, it's really tiring to deal with people from the upper class."

Li Lin sat on a public bench by the side of the road, crossing his legs and humming a song, enjoying this rare leisure.

However, this leisure did not last long, and he heard a soft rustling sound coming from the grass not far away.

"Huh?" Li Lin raised his brows and looked at the source of the sound, thinking there was someone else here. "Is someone there?"

he asked, but there was no reply.

It should be the sound of the wind...

Before Li Lin could turn around, he saw the grass in the shadows in the distance moving without wind again.

"What's going on? Are there any animals there?"

There was a flicker of doubt in his eyes.

Since this is the University of Piltover, it is also the time when the Evolution Day conference is being held.

People with status and status gather here, so there are many law enforcement officers patrolling the vicinity of the college, and the security is very tight.

And from the background he knew, there seemed to be no major events happening on Evolution Day.

Li Lin didn't pay too much attention, but out of caution, he still wasn't going to stay here any longer.

However, when he just stood up, an inexplicable refreshing fragrance blew over his face with the breeze and entered his body along the respiratory tract.

For some reason, Li Lin's legs and feet felt weak, he staggered suddenly, and felt that his whole body had become drowsy.

"This, this is..."

The prompts from the system in his mind made him change his expression:

[HP: 733/765]

[Personal status: poisoned, sleepy, lethargic (not started yet)]

[Effects: 1. Lose 32 health points per second, lasting 3 seconds; 2. Enter a "sleepy" state for 30 seconds, and then fall into "sleep". 】

Change first and then change
