Piltover on the other side.
Lilin, Caitlyn, and Jayce returned to Kiramman estate to make arrangements for the servants and plan for combat.
The three didn't delay too long. They sent an enforcer to notify Sheriff Grayson, rushed to Drop Street without stopping, and took the howl down to the mid level of Zaun.
Along the way, Lilin's exo-mechsuit was the focus of everyone's attention, including the lift attendant, who politely asked him to pay double the fare due to the weight of the suit.
The politeness is mainly because of Caitlyn. People knew of Caitlyn, the daughter of the Kiramman family, from the headlines a while ago, it is still quite fresh in the Piltover citizens' minds.
Which also allowed them to pass through the emergency checkpoints without questioning from the enforcers. For the enforcers who did not know of Caitlyn before, now know her very well; she was the reason of their overtime after all.
Lilin would have most likely been stopped be the boarder patrol, the checkpoints were set up as the measure to prevent the culprits who attacked the conference from getting away. And Lilin's conspicuous appearance…is high on the list of people to detain.
This set of exoskeleton power armor invented by Lilin is mainly black in color. Roughly two meters tall, which is more suitable for the human body.
As the energy core of the armor, the hextech gemstone is placed in the center position of the chest, but it's protected by layers of thick metal. This is to prevent archers from shooting the core, disabling the whole suit, and enabling a carefully crafted dps window.
He's not actually Iron Man, or an ancient ruin guard.
The performance of his armor is not comparable to the mark battle suits, and he's not stupid. Why would he expose this weakness with a bright flashing indicator saying, hey come hit this?
[Exoskeleton Power Armor (Quality: Rare): A wearable mechanical device constructed of a steel frame, capable of exerting additional strength beyond the physical body. ]
[Attributes (Mechanical): 15000 HP, 500 Energy, 35 Combat Strength]
[Effect]
[Passive - automation: The power suit is powered by an energy core. It does not require the wearer to expend effort in motion. When the energy is exhausted, the power suit will be immobile. 50 energy is consumed per second. ]
[Passive - Mechanical Enhancement: The materials of the power suit have been improved and upgraded, providing additional attributes for all skills (except the energy core), and increasing the quality of the device. ]
[Passive - Alloy Armor: Made of improved and upgraded high-quality alloys, providing 1500 bonus health. ]
[Passive - Energy Core: Use the energy crystal as the core to provide an additional 1000 energy. ]
[Passive – Energy Transmission: Improved material increases adaptability to energy, providing an additional 500 energy. ]
[Passive - Recharge: The energy core can absorb the magic elements in the air to recharge itself, recovering 5% of the maximum energy per second. ]
[Active - Adaptive Defense: Activate the energy core to charge for 1 second, consume 10% of the maximum energy to obtain an adaptive shield with 20% of the maximum health for 10 seconds (cooldown: 60 seconds). ]
[Active - Overload Charge: Consume of 15% of the energy of the current power supply core for 3 seconds of overload charge, after the charge is over, the suit gains 10 seconds of bonus move speed, and the next attack deals increased damage, while causing an energy shock to a 5-meter cone behind the target. ]
[Active Overload Operation: The energy core is overloaded, allowing the device to temporarily gain an additional 30% health and energy, the maximum energy recovered per second is increased to 15%, and an additional movement speed bonus for 8 seconds (The crystal will be scrapped after 3 uses) ]
[Description: PnZ is just the beginning. ]
The exo-mechsuit provides 16500 health and 2000 energy together.
Subtracting the 50 energy consumed per second to operate the armor, at the rate at which the genstone recharges itself, 50 energy is restored per second.
Not only that, with the upgrade of Lilin's [Mechanical Enhancement] skill, the armor that was originally only "good" quality has been upgraded to "rare" quality, and the attributes and skills in all aspects have been greatly improved.
And this is only a prototype.
However, it has many advantages, but also many disadvantages.
The worst thing is that this armor has no auxiliary devices and systems, and he has to rely on his eyes seeing through the helmet, and his field of vision is greatly limited.
Secondly, it's rather clunky, unless the [Overload charge] skill is activated, it's unable to catch up to a high-speed enemy.
In addition, designed mostly as a defense tool, it doesn't even have a weapon system. Lilin can only rely on rushing in front of the enemy and smashing them with his fists like a madman.
Fortunately, it is very tanky; 16500 health and 3300 shields that last for 10 seconds by consuming energy on a one minute cooldown?
Even if Piltover's entire police force fired at him with regular rifles, he would survive the hail of bullets for a decent amount of time.
In conclusion, ignoring the possible energy deficiency, the current power suit can button mash and face roll and win in most 1 v 1s in Piltover and Zaun.
Provided that there's no support ganking from the goddess of the wind, Janna...
The lift descended, and after a while, the three of them reached the middle level of Zaun.
Caitlyn and Jayce were wearing respirators, one equipped with a gun and the other with a hammer, and a big robo boy beside them.
No one walked up and caused anytrouble.
Jayce was not used to the strange eyes of the people around him. He covered his face and asked Caitlyn, "Where are we going next?"
"We need to investigate first." Caitlyn responded in a stern voice.
"We could go to Vander for help." Through the helmet, Lilin's mechanical voice muffled, "We've established a decent relationship."
Caitlyn glanced at him, "A decent relationship with a man you've met once?"
"To be precise, we've met twice."
Lilin hadn't had time to mention to her the last time he came to the Lanes to meet with Vander.
"I paid him back a favor last time, and now we are friends."
"I think it's a good idea, Caitlyn." Jayce persuaded, "Since he is the boss of Lanes, he might know something."
Caitlyn nodded slightly. "Well, that sounds like a good idea."
The three walked in the direction of the Last Drop.
But as they walked for a few minutes, they found that there were many people with weapons in their hands emerging from different alleys and flocked to the Last Drop.
Jayce looked at the group of people, puzzled, "... Did something happen here also?"
"A gang fight?" Caitlyn pondered for a moment, "Let's get a better..."
Before she could finish her words, Lilin, who was in the mechsuit, caught a glimpse of a little blue-haired girl not far from them who was walking in the opposite direction of everyone.
"Powder?"
Caitlyn looked at Lilin, who had just uncovered his face from the helmet mask, "What was that?"
Hearing someone calling her, Powder's eyes were first attracted by the most conspicuous few from the crowd of people.
When she looked up and finally saw the familiar face, the floodgates opened again.
Powder wiped the tears with her hands, and trotted to the three of them.
She raised her head, clenched her little hands, pleaded.
"...can you save Vander?"
