Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Chapter 65 Laser Sniper Rifle: Iron Blood
"What are you... doing! I don't know the difference between men and women."

Entering the room, Caitlin, whose delicate face was already blushing, withdrew her little hand and hummed dissatisfiedly with her cherry pink mouth.

However, the alchemy technology chandelier in Li Lin's room was dim, and his attention was not on Caitlin, so he didn't notice her face.

After he took out something from the drawer of the workbench, Caitlin took a deep breath to calm down, and let her hot cheeks return to almost normal level.

"what is this?"

Caitlin raised her slender eyebrows when she saw a small box with exquisite workmanship in Li Lin's hand.

A conjecture appeared in her mind, but she was not sure, so she didn't say it out, and her little heart beat excitedly again.

"Gift, don't you always want it?"

Li Lin grinned, and slowly opened the box.

Inside the small boutique gift box, quietly lay a violet-colored mechanical watch that Kaitlyn likes most, and the workmanship is very exquisite and delicate.

Different from Li Lin's watch, this mechanical watch is even more compact and miniature, and the strap is not made of metal, but polished from high-quality genuine cowhide.

Caitlin's breathing was slightly stagnant, and her eyes were full of disbelief.

After a while, she couldn't help exclaiming: "Wow! Is this for me?"

Li Lin nodded with a smile, remained silent, and his expression was enough to express his affirmation.

"You are so kind, Li Lin!"

Caitlin was very happy, but due to her family's upbringing, she didn't show much excitement.

She just stretched out her little hand to pick up the watch and look at it carefully, but a thought suddenly flashed in her mind that made her freeze her arm.

"What's wrong? Don't you like it?" Li Lin noticed her reaction and asked nervously.

"No." Caitlin's cherry lips parted slightly, and she shook her face, "I like it very much..."

Before Li Lin could express too much, she lowered her eyes a little bit shyly, and handed her left hand in front of him.

"You, can you put it on for me?"

As if she was afraid that Li Lin might misunderstand something, Caitlin hurriedly added: "That... don't get me wrong, I just don't know how to wear it..."

A genius detective like Kaitlyn who has meticulous thinking and excellent learning ability doesn't know how to wear a watch...

Li Lin scratched his head.

Why do I always feel that her recent behavior is weird, maybe she likes me...

No, no, this must be one of the three major illusions in life!

Li Lin quickly stopped his chaotic thoughts, put the gift box on the table, then picked up the watch and unfastened the strap, taking a deep breath.

Under the dim light of alchemy technology, Li Lin suddenly noticed that Caitlin's exposed half arm seemed to be dyed a strange pink.

His eyes followed Caitlin's arms gradually upwards, and finally stopped at her shy little face that was about to be buried in her chest.

something is wrong, something is wrong...

This doesn't really look like the Three Great Illusions...

But, we've only known each other for over a month...

She didn't have the slightest feeling for the equally handsome Jess after being together for so long, how could she fall in love with me?
Although we are about the same age, and since my body recovered from malnutrition, I look no worse than Jess...

Li Lin shook his head invisibly and smiled bitterly.

He liked the hero Caitlin very much before time travel, let alone seeing a real person.

Even if Li Lin's conjecture is true and Caitlin really likes him, he won't expose this relationship right now.

At least until I make a career, enough to be on an equal footing with the Gilaman family...

It seemed that Li Lin hesitated for too long, Caitlin couldn't help urging: "Hurry up, my arms are sore."

"immediately!"

Wearing a watch for others inevitably involves skin contact.

Caitlin pays great attention to maintenance on weekdays. Even if she often goes out hunting, her skin is still delicate and tender...and hot.

The elegant fragrance of violets wafted from her body and penetrated into Li Lin's nasal cavity from time to time, stirring his heartstrings.

The time of putting on the watch for her seemed to be infinitely elongated, it seemed very long, almost frozen at this moment.

Not only for Li Lin, but also for Caitlin.

Only the ticking second hand is still reminding them that time is still running normally.

Both of them were very quiet, tacitly did not speak, breaking the ambiguous atmosphere in the eyes of outsiders.

"...cough cough, it's ready"

After a while, Li Lin fastened the strap, withdrew his hand and cleared his throat softly to remind Caitlyn, and Caitlin recovered from the trance.

"Um……"

She made a soft nasal sound, as if she was nostalgic for the feeling just now, she reluctantly withdrew her arm, and then raised her wrist.

Under the refraction of the dim light, the violet watch seemed to reflect a star-like color, which made Caitlin slightly dazed.

"Pretty," she murmured.

Immediately, her twinkling eyes turned to Li Lin, and the corners of her lips curled up, "Thank you Li Lin, I really like it."

"Just like it." Li Lin responded to Caitlin's smile, but then changed the topic: "But, are you satisfied with this?"

Caitlin was slightly taken aback, "...huh?"

Before she could react and complain why Li Lin wanted to spoil the atmosphere, he walked to the shelf covered with white cloth in the corner of the room.

He turned his head, with a faint smile on his face, "Did you forget? You wanted more than a watch at that time."

"You...really?!" Caitlin gasped.

Of course she remembered the gift she wanted that day, but she didn't expect Li Lin to actually make it so fast.

"Your sniper rifle, it took me almost a whole day to make it."

As he spoke, Li Lin tore off the white cloth from the shelf.

A dark red sniper rifle with a total length of about 1.2 meters and a rather weird appearance appeared in Caitlin's field of vision.

Its gun body is slender, and it has a long and narrow optical sniper scope that can be switched manually with the mechanical sight that comes with the gun body, and can be adjusted up to 8 times.

There is a spherical groove in the middle of the gun body, in which a round and dim Hex energy crystal is fixed.

The most peculiar thing is its barrel part.

Unlike common rifle barrels, the barrel of this sniper rifle consists of three one-third metal cones that just fit together perfectly.

At its top, only the sharp apex of the cone is revealed, and there is no "gun muzzle" for firing bullets, which puzzles Caitlin.

But she didn't question it.

Since it is a rifle made by Li Lin himself, there must be something special about it.

Caitlin picked up the sniper rifle and felt it for a while.

It weighed only a little more than the Bilgewater Mauser her father had given her.

Caitlin fumbled around the gun for a while, and even without Li Lin's guidance, she quickly found a knob that could be turned just behind the groove of the energy crystal.

Caitlin glanced at Li Lin, and under his encouraging eyes, she gently turned the knob.

For a moment, the energy crystal in the groove of the gun body was activated, flashing a gloomy blue light.

Immediately afterwards, under Caitlin's shocked gaze, the three-thirds of the cones at the gun's muzzle quickly separated and rotated.

One-third of the metal cone is on the top, and the other two are on the bottom, presenting a symmetrical triangle shape, and revealing the hole connected to the gun body, which is shining with blue light.

At the same time, the blue arcs between the cones danced, and an energy ball drilled out of the hole, and hovered at the position where it just drilled out.

Obviously, this is an energy weapon.

"Oh, the gears are spinning! Is this the hex vinyl gun invented by Visra?! You improved it?"

The hex vinyl gun she mentioned was manufactured more than ten years ago, and it was Piltover's first attempt to use hex crystals as the energy core to invent energy weapons specifically for law enforcement officers.

However, due to a series of very serious safety problems later, the production of this energy rifle was stopped, and all rifles were sealed up.

Of course, Li Lin knew about such a low-level weapon. There was a blueprint for this weapon in the library of Gilaman's house, and it was placed on the top of the bookshelf to eat ashes.

It's no wonder that Caitlin mistook it, after all, this sniper rifle is so much like a hex vinyl gun.

But for Li Lin, he would never use this kind of garbage weapon to fool Caitlin.

With the assistance of the two skills of [Mechanic Introduction] and [Data Thinking], Li Lin had studied for a long time before designing the blueprint of this rare-quality laser sniper rifle.

It's just that he didn't have the time and energy crystals before, so he had the opportunity to make them in these three days.

"No, to be precise, this gun is designed by myself, just for you."

Li Lin smiled.

"I named it... Iron Blood."
