Kapitel 74: CHAPTER 74 - The Future of Four Children
In the blink of an eye, the time agreed upon with Vander had arrived.
Since Li Lin developed the "Infinite" Project Genesis armor, he had been continuously improving it. For instance, the armor's air circulation device could sustain for half an hour even in environments without oxygen.
He equipped his right palm with an "Electric Surge Hand Cannon," a backup "High-Frequency Vibrating Blade" on his right forearm, and retractable "Serrated Wrist Blades" on both wrists.
In case the first vibrating blade was damaged, there was a backup, and if both were damaged, the wrist blades could still hold their own in battle.
During the remaining time, Li Lin mostly went to Piltover University to discuss a new technology with Jayce, Viktor, and even Heimerdinger: the smart chip system.
Now that he had the armor, the technology of "Neural Network Connection" allowed him to control various modules directly through neural contact.
However, Li Lin wasn't confident that his thoughts could surpass the capabilities of a machine. Moreover, his face mask lacked even the holographic projection function, relying solely on the naked eye to perceive the external environment, which was quite inconvenient.
Unfortunately, the reality dealt a heavy blow to Li Lin's beautiful ideas. In a world without computers, the internet, or even telephones, researching intelligent chips directly proved to be extremely challenging. Even Heimerdinger was temporarily at a loss.
Perhaps Viktor's fully automatic mechanical device, developed a few years ago, had some relevance. However, it only involved providing fixed instructions to the machines rather than allowing them to act through their own deduction and calculation.
Nevertheless, Li Lin was not discouraged. His current "Mechanic" system panel was only at level 9, with only a few skills unlocked. As the panel level increased, there might be skills related to the field of smart AI in the future.
The weather in Piltover was clear, and today was another good day, not too cold.
In recent days, the first batch of bicycles had been completed and started to be sold to the public. Due to the absence of a demonstration at the Progress Day Assembly, Lady Cassandra had extensively advertised in the Piltover Daily and other media outlets.
Convenient transportation, affordable prices, and free maintenance within a year... In addition, Caitlyn occasionally rode the bicycle specially made for her by Li Lin, attracting a lot of attention.
Nowadays, there were quite a few bicycle deliverymen on the streets of the northern city. Wearing the "Infinite" Project Genesis powered armor, Li Lin took the elevator down to the middle square's Lanes, preparing to meet Vander at The Last Drop.
Just as he arrived at the outskirts of the tavern, Powder, who was currently boxing with Claggor and Milo under Vi's guidance, spotted him and rushed over.
"Li Lin!" Powder opened her arms wide and excitedly pounced on him.
Understanding her intentions, Li Lin squatted down to receive her, lifting her up and saying, "Slow down. If you fall and get hurt, how am I going to explain to your sister and Vander?"
Powder giggled, completely ignoring this concern, instead marveling at the "Infinite" armor he was wearing. "Wow? Why did you change your armor? It looks so cool!"
"I took the previous powered armor to modify it into a underwater diving suit. This one is newly made, an upgraded version."
"Oh~" Powder nodded thoughtfully, biting her finger.
Actually, she didn't understand a bit.
But that didn't stop her from liking it.
While they were chatting, Claggor and Milo dropped Vi and ran to Li Lin with astonished faces.
"Wow! This set of armor looks much cooler than the previous one!" Milo exclaimed. "When can I have one like this? It would be so cool to wear it when going out!"
Immediately, Claggor, with an envious look, examined Li Lin and added, "Yeah, I found a book on Vander's shelf before, specifically introducing armor. Compared to this imposing armor, it's not even worth mentioning!"
"Can it turn invisible?! I heard stories about a spell that can make people invisible, incredibly cool!"
"Why are you always thinking about invisibility, Milo? I feel like flying would be even cooler..."
Seeing both of them marveling at Li Lin's power armor, Powder couldn't help but slightly raise her chin, a trace of pride on her face, as if she had just praised her.
Hehe, Claggor and Milo could only envy, while I could sit directly in Li Lin's arms...
But before she could enjoy it too much, Vi, with a stern face, walked over to them, giving Claggor and Milo a scolding.
"Ouch!"
"Painful!"
The two covered their heads, groaning in pain.
Milo, somewhat dissatisfied, turned around and complained, "What are you doing... uh."
Before he could finish, he saw Vi's expression, immediately held back everything he wanted to say, and swallowed his saliva.
"I'm teaching you combat skills, and you two ran away before finishing a set of punches."
Vi, with a toothpick in her mouth, arms crossed, stared at the two of them.
"Next time, when you're fighting someone, be prepared to get beaten up. I won't help you..."
"No, please, don't!" Milo chuckled, very adept at reading the situation.
Facing Vi, the hot-tempered big sister, it was necessary to yield at the right time.
"I, I'll practice now!"
Following behind Milo, Claggor also covered his head and hurriedly ran away. "I'll go too..."
Only Powder still sat on Li Lin's arm and didn't come down.
However, her little face drooped, lacking the courage to look Vi in the eyes.
"Powder." Vi called her name in a calm tone.
As her sister, Powder naturally understood what Vi meant, so she pouted and jumped down from Li Lin's arm.
"Oh."
She responded dejectedly, walking toward the practice ground where they had just trained in combat skills.
However, in Vi's blind spot, Powder took three steps forward and looked back at Li Lin playfully.
Li Lin helplessly smiled and then faced Vi, who had fallen into silence.
"Vander is waiting for you inside. You should go."
As soon as he finished speaking, Vi turned and walked away.
Li Lin hesitated for a moment, reached out to stop her, and said, "Wait..."
"Do you have something?" Vi turned back, half of her body, raising an eyebrow.
"Uh..." Li Lin didn't know how to ask her.
To be honest, Vi, Caitlyn, Claggor, and Milo, under Vander's guidance and nurturing, had good personalities even though they grew up in Zaun.
However, Zaun was still Zaun. Their only way up was to take over Vander's influence in the future; there were no other options.
Especially for Vi and Powder.
Hooligans were still hooligans, and even if they became bosses, it wouldn't change the essence of being a hooligan.
And according to Li Lin's plan, in the future, there could be no place for the existence of gangs.
So, Li Lin wanted them to go to Piltover for further study, like Ekko.
Vi could attend the Piltover Enforcer Academy, which would be great if she could become an enforcer like in the normal timeline.
Powder seemed to have a talent for invention and creation. Studying mechanical knowledge with Ekko would be a good choice, and she could also attend Piltover University for further study.
Jayce, Viktor, and even Heimerdinger could guide them.
As for Claggor and Milo... Li Lin didn't know them very well.
Maybe they could become enforcers like Vi, or maybe they could choose on their own.
Of course, the biggest difficulty in implementing these ideas is not Vander. He would definitely agree to let the children have a better future.
The difficulty lies in Vi, who has a grudge against Piltover. She probably won't agree to go there.
First, let Vander do some ideological work on her...
Various thoughts quickly flashed through Li Lin's mind.
After a short contemplation, he shook his head. "No, it's nothing."
Vi's face didn't look very good as she pursed her lips. "Since you don't want to say, don't call me. you're wasting time."
After speaking, she turned around nonchalantly and walked back to Powder, Claggor, and Milo, continuing to teach them combat skills.
