Two Cities: I am building a mecha in Pi City

Li Lin and Bangbao went out from the side door of Gila Mann's mansion, and the journey was uneventful and there were no accidents.

Because they knew that these children "smuggled" to and from Zaun by jumping on top of the screaming machine, and Explosive's foot was sprained.

After handing her over to Wei's hands, Li Lin also gave them a money bag containing dozens of silver wheels so that they could take the elevator back normally.

After finally seeing off the four young ancestors, Li Lin quickly rushed back to his studio.

He and Jace had agreed to study the Hex Crystal together after dinner tonight, and it was almost time now.

When he returned to the studio, Li Lin found Jace standing in front of his door holding a small box, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

"Where have you gone? I almost thought you let me go."

As soon as he saw Li Lin, an excited expression appeared on Jace's face. He quickly ran behind him and pushed him to the door.

"Quick, open the door quickly!"

Li Lin had a black line on his face, "Why are you more anxious than me..."

"That's for sure! Any scientist would be impatient when faced with this situation, right?"

After the two of them walked into the house, Jess locked the door behind his back and walked straight to the workbench, "Huh? Medicine for bruises? Are you injured?"

Oops, I forgot to collect something...

Li Lin's breath stopped, and he quickly ran forward to clean up all the debris on the table, and explained:

"Don't you train with Caitlin a lot recently? I have thin arms and legs, so it's normal."

"Well, as a craftsman, it's good to have a strong body." Jace smiled, and his attention did not stay here for too long.

He slowly placed the small box in his hand on the table and opened the lid.

A dazzling blue light seemed to have been held in the small box for a long time, and suddenly illuminated the entire room.

Jace picked up a Hex Crystal and placed it into the groove in the center of the Hex Resonance Device on another workbench.

Several streaks of blue static electricity reacted with the metal. Immediately afterwards, the resonance device that received the energy supply was centered on the groove where the crystal was located, radiating and diffusing the same blue light as the crystal around the base plate.

Jace turned to look at Li Lin, "Are you ready?"

"certainly."

Li Lin nodded and took out more than a dozen metal discs that had been made in advance and engraved with runes from the drawer, and placed them all in the designated positions of the resonance device.

Then, he took a deep breath, pressed the start button without hesitation, and turned the power knob on the side of the device to the maximum.

The mechanical gears of the resonance device meshed, making a slightly harsh sound of metal friction.

The ring-shaped supports erected high around the base plate slowly rotated under the influence of crystal energy, and the speed gradually increased.

The crystal that emits an even more dazzling light trembles and rotates violently in resonance, and a large number of irregular blue arcs as thick as fingers react violently with the support frame.

After only two or three seconds, the rotation speed of the support frame was already difficult to see clearly with the naked eye. The entire resonance device vibrated violently along with the Hex Crystal, as if it would completely fall apart in the next second.

At the same time, the Hex Crystal also emitted a strong thrust, pushing the two of them outward.

For a moment, the whole room was in chaos.

A trace of panic flashed across Jace's face, "Look at the support frame! I don't think it can support it!"

"Don't worry, everything is under control."

Li Lin calmly stared at the extremely unstable Hex Crystal, focusing on the reading message prompted by the system in his mind.

[Hex Energy Crystal is being produced...]

[Current progress: 17%]

When the progress was almost 30%, the crystal was already floating in the air, and the electric light radiated from it almost filled the entire area within the support frame.

Not only that, there are countless densely packed blue light points that precipitate from the crystal in the shape of balls and merge at extremely fast speeds, finally showing a circle of floating rune marks.

it's time!

Li Lin saw the right moment and quickly turned the knob that controlled the metal disc engraved with runes.

Under his unskilled but very meticulous operation, the runes on the metal disc were engraved into the Hex crystal one by one through energy resonance.

Every time he rotates, the progress bar displayed by the system in his mind jumps forward a lot.

【49%...】

【63%...】

【81%...】

【Current progress: 100%! 】

Finally, when the progress bar reached 100, the Hex Crystal fired a beam of energy upwards, almost sending the two of them flying.

At the same time, a huge circular array engraved with runes suddenly appeared on the ceiling.

Time seemed to stand still for a second.

Immediately afterwards, all the leaked energy returned to the crystal in an instant.

【Congratulations! You've made a Hex Energy Crystal! 】

[Reward (first production): Level increased by 2 levels, skill points × 3]

[You have reached level 5 and unlocked the mechanic skill panel. 】

[Name: Li Lin]

[Level: Level 5]

[HP: 765/765]

[Mana value: 113/113]

[Combat power: 8]

[Skill points: 7]

【……】

A series of prompts came from Li Lin's mind, but his attention was not on this at all now.

He stared intently at the "small stone" that was floating in the air, but had completely lost the azure luster that the Hex Crystal should have.

[Hex Energy Crystal (Normal): A stable core energy device. The small crystal contains extremely strong energy. 】

[Attributes (for machinery): 500 health, 500 energy]

[Ability Effect]

[Passive·Energy Core: When the energy crystal is used as the core energy supply device, it provides an additional 1000 energy bonus (for machinery). 】

[Passive·Charging: The energy crystal can absorb magic elements in the air to recharge itself, recovering 3% of the maximum energy per second. 】

[Active·Overload Operation: Through the overload operation of the energy crystal, the machine temporarily gains an additional 500 health points and energy, and recovers 10% of the maximum energy per second. It will be scrapped after three uses. 】

Jace glanced at the crystal still suspended in the center of the resonance device with lingering fear, "Have we...succeeded?"

He was not sure and asked Li Lin.

Because the "New Hex Crystal" in front of him was slightly different from what he imagined.

Apart from becoming a little rounder and completely losing its luster, it doesn't look like any other change. Instead, it looks more ordinary.

If it hadn't been for it still floating in the air, Jess would have thought their risky experiment had failed.

"Of course, you don't trust me when I do things?"

Li Lin forcibly suppressed his excitement, stretched out his hand, pinched the crystal and placed it in his palm.

"The crystal is completely stable. Even if it is dropped to the ground from this height, it will not explode again."

"No, never, even if it's stable, it's best not to do this." Jace was afraid that he would throw away the crystal to demonstrate to himself, so he quickly dissuaded him.

After pausing for a moment, Jace, who had been observing the crystal in Li Lin's hand intently, took a long breath and said:

"Unexpectedly, we actually succeeded! I can only imagine your name being famous in the history of Piltover!

"Future pioneer Li Lin, an inventor famous throughout the ages, not only ushered in an era of electrical appliances, but also created a new era of using technology to control magic!"

Jace almost danced with excitement.

"It's us, Jace, it's not my fault alone."

Li Lin smiled slightly, his deep brown eyes shining with a strange light.

"We created a new era."
