Chapter 2 - Professional Mechanic

"Mr. Lilin, would you like coffee or tea?", in the luxurious parlour of the Kiramman house, a maid asks.

"Tea please."

"You're too kind, it's my duty."

The maid placed a cup of tea with a stimulating scent on the table in front of Lilin.

"The madam will come to you soon after attending to her work. If you need anything, just call me, I'll be outside." After speaking, the maid bowed and walked out of the parlour.

Moments after the door shuts, Lilin, who had been tense all this time, finally breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to himself, "Alas... It's not like the transmigration Isekai stories, now is it?."

Lilin is a transmigrator, he became this Ionian boy of the same name who was doing chores in a compass repair shop at Sun Gate Pier.

With his experience of various games, movies, and novels, as well as the memory of the original Lilin, he quickly figured out the land he is residing in - Runeterra in League of Legends.

Since the drop zone was, luckily, the cultural center of the entire Valoran continent, Piltover. The City of progress, whose power and innovation is on the rise, where art, craftsmanship, and trade walk hand in hand. Lilin is naturally unwilling to die a working class and NEET til his days are up.

In this city full of steampunk and fantasy, far from the Earth's reality. With knowledge from his past and some semblance of motivation, it is not difficult to climb a few steps in the social hierarchy.

As Progress Day approaches, Lilin quickly made up his mind:

Plagiarism. He laughed to himself.

At first, he wanted to be a writer, bringing novels and comic scripts that he had read into this world.

This is the easiest and fastest way to become famous. No one in this world will sue him for copyright infringement.

However, when an emotionless and mechanical prompt sounded in his mind, his thoughts changed...

[Name: Lilin]

[Occupation: Mechanic]

[Level: Level 1]

[HP: 465/465]

[Mana: 50/50]

[Combat Strength: 5]

[Skills: basic mechanic manufacturing, HUD mode]

[Possession: 0 blue essence, 0 orange essence]

[Insufficient level, some functions are locked...]

After Lilin awakened his starter package, the system created a mechanic profession for him, and also gave him a [HUD mode] skill.

HUD mode can temporarily digitize the world in front of him like in the game by consuming mana.

For example, reading a book, he does not need to read word by word, but will display a progress bar.

When the progress bar is full, he will know the content of the book like the back of his hand.

Based on this skill, Lilin came to the Kiramman family's to try his luck. He designed some prototypes and drew a few schematics after gathering "public domain" knowledge in Piltover. Who would suspect a young boy to learn all the intricate designs just by looking at the machines out in the open?

Currently, Piltover's innovations remain at the steampunk level, Chemtech innovations are few and far between. The technology boom has yet to occur, as it has an energy reliance on hex crystals.

However, according to Lilin's understanding of the background, the technology of hex crystal is monopolized by the Ferros clan of Camille. And it is, at the moment, highly expensive, highly contaminating and highly unstable.

After comprehensive consideration, he decided to bring a more economical and practical form of energy to this world.

Electricity.

Not only can he find a place in this progressive city as soon as possible, but also play the role of a mechanic. "Why waste the advantage given to me by the system?" He thought to himself.

After a brief daze, Lilin took a sip of the slightly cold tea, and began to inspect the decorations in the room.

The most conspicuous of them is a huge family portrait hanging on the wall of the stairs leading to the second floor.

The picture also has a little girl with a Mauser pistol.

Caitlyn Kiramman, the daughter of the Kiramman family, will later become the sheriff of the Piltover Enforcers in the future.

The reason why Lilin chose to come to the Kiramman family was because of her.

As one of the champions of League of Legends, Caitlyn is a protagonist of this area of ​​Piltover according to the lore.

While Lilin's sight fixed on the family portrait, out of the corner of his eyes suddenly noticed a figure at the corner of the stairs on the second floor.

When he looked, he saw a girl similar to the one in the family portrait, much older of course.

She has piercing blue-green eyes, and dark blue hair tied into a short ponytail behind her head. Dressed in a brown hunter suit, carrying a Bilgewater-style Mauser rifle on her back.

"Did the system miss a skill called Spidey Sense?"

After seeing the figure clearly, Lilin immediately put down the tea cup and stood up, "May the gears turn smoothly, Miss Kiramman."

"May the gears turn, sir."

Caitlyn nodded slightly, went down the stairs, and looked at the boy who was about the same age as her curiously.

The workmanship of the clothes on the body is rough, and the fabric is also the cheapest on the market, so it should not be a member of a certain family.

He was a little thin and looked like he was malnourished. He wasn't from Piltover or Zaun. Not bad looking. Likely to have come from the East.

It just so happens that the progress day is near. These days, the family is recruiting apprentices. He should be the one who came to interview.

But the interview should be in the interview room. Being invited in here… and tea … there should be something special to be favoured by mother...

Caitlyn did a Sherlock.

"Congratulations, my mother rarely values ​​a person so much. The last was Jayce. Have you met him already?"

"Uh yes...thank you. I have."

Lilin scratched his head, not knowing how Caitlyn guessed without being present.

But after remembering that Caitlyn will eventually be the top warden in Piltover, he ignored his confusion.

"Going out hunting, Miss Kiramman?"

"Yes, I like to track wild deer in the forest, or practice my shots with hares." Caitlyn smiled. "It's one of the few recreational activities that my mother allows."

As soon as Caitlyn finished speaking, and the door that Lilin came in opened, and the Kirammans walked in.

As soon as she heard the door, a sweet smile appeared on Caitlyn's face. Walking forward, putting Lilin behind her, "Mom, Dad, did the interview go well today?"

"Oh, by the turning gears. Except for the first young Ionian young man, the invention of the later apprentices is a complete mess, and no even one passed the test..."

Caitlyn's father noticed Lilin standing by the sofa, his originally depressed expression suddenly changed, and he laughed.

"Yes, this is an impressive young man. It seems that you have already met him. His brilliance is comparable to that of Jayce!"

"Really?" Caitlyn re-examined Lilin with more curiosity in her eyes.

It was the first time she had heard her father compliment someone like that, not even when Jayce was first sponsored, did she hear such high praise from her father.

Moreover, Jayce was now considered a genius inventor by his mentors at the Academy, the brightest future awaits him.

What kind of work did this Ionian boy design to be so favored by his father? Even compared it with Jayce?

With doubts in her mind, Caitlyn gained interest in Lilin.

"Alright Kate, if you're going out, do not delay. Remember not to come back too late and miss dinner." Caitlyn's mother tidied up her clothes, "we still have business to talk about with this young man."

"Okay, Mom."

Caitlyn waved to her parents, nodded to Lilin, and walked out of the house swiftly.

Next, only Lilin and Kirammans were left in the living room.

"Lilin, can I call you that? After all, we will spend a long time together in the future, and I don't prefer formalities if you were to be part of the Kiramman clan.

"At the estate, you can call me Cassandra, and my husband, Tobias, but when you're outside, you'll have to call me Councillor Kiramman."

Cassandra and Tobias came to sit opposite to Lilin at the table.

"Your wishes, Mrs. Cassandra." Lilin said respectfully.

"Please sit down, don't be too tense, our family is different from the Medarda family, there are no too strict family rules."

Cassandra put her right leg lightly on her left leg, crossed her hands, and leaned back on the sofa.

When Lilin sat down again, her expression was serious, but the corners of her mouth evoked a smile, and she said slowly:

"I think Mr. Lilin is a smart person, so let's not talk nonsense, and get to the point..."
