Lux, who opened the door, didn't expect that Jace actually came to Zaun and brought an assistant with him, intending to study Hex technology here.
"They don't know anything!" Jace complained through gritted teeth in front of Lux, "They don't believe in formulas and don't pay attention to logic... It's terrible..."
It can be seen that Jace is indeed quite dissatisfied with the council's choice. Even with Victor's approval, he still did not hide his attitude when he met Lux - of course, there must be some elements of acting in it.
Jess has always been very smart when dealing with investors.
Lux was naturally very satisfied with his choice. Although she didn't understand Jace's research at all, but if Kalya said it was "somewhat good", then it must be quite good.
What's more, Kalya also said that Jace's research can complement the Rune Tree project - this may be an opportunity to bridge the gap between the two parties, maybe?
Therefore, Lux gave Jace the highest level of treatment that she could bear.
This salary is really too generous, both in terms of personal salary and experimental support, far exceeding the normal situation - and Lux only needs the right to use the patent and does not need any other reputational rights.
Jace is naturally quite satisfied with this kind of treatment. Lux's generous attitude is not inferior to that of the Gila Mann family, or even better; but Victor, who was born in Zaun, is a little hesitant.
At this moment, Victor had some doubts about whether Lux was a liar.
After all, deception and abduction are all too common in Zaun - it is said that even the flesh and bones in the dark alleys have a few shemales mixed in with them.
On the pretext of going to the bathroom, Victor temporarily left Jace, who was still chatting, and secretly found Fander, wanting to find out about Lux's background. Although Victor and Fander hardly interacted with each other, they were born in Zaun.
He knew the size of Fulgen's Tavern very well.
However, to Victor's surprise, Fandel gave a vague answer.
"Miss Lux...she is a very capable person." Fander, who seemed to have just had a quarrel with someone, looked a little tired. He held his pipe in his mouth and let the smoke completely cover his face.
“Quite amazing and very thoughtful.”
"How is her financial strength?" Victor gritted his teeth and ordered the most expensive glass of wine. "As a sponsor, just having ideas is not enough."
"Financial strength shouldn't be a problem." Fander accepted Victor's gold hex and poured him a cup of tea. "Ionian goods, obtained from Finn, are said to help sleep - at least
She spends money lavishly and is not a liar."
"That's good..." After hearing what Fandel said, Victor took a long breath, and then drank all the tea in the cup, "Thank you, Mr. Fandel."
"People in Zaun always help each other!" Fandel knocked on his pipe, "You are also from Zaun. You should know that there is a formal laboratory for the Eight Classics in Zaun - not the kind of human experiment.
Room - how difficult it is, I don’t understand such a delicate thing as science, and I don’t know if it is suitable for Zaun, but I believe that it is better than nothing.”
"That's very well said, Mr. Fandel. At this point, you are far superior to the members of the Piltover Council." Victor frowned and put on his crutches again, "I'm going back, so, goodbye
.”
And watching Victor limping out of the side door of the tavern, Fander picked up his pipe again and took a deep drag.
In the smoke, he narrowed his eyes slightly.
This might be an opportunity... maybe?
……………………
Back at Lux's residence, Victor looked much more relaxed.
As for Jace, he was using his previous energy and recited the speech he had prepared for the congressman in full to Lux.
Lux's expression was expressionless throughout. This part of the speech involved a lot of scientific terms. Even though Jace deliberately simplified it to make it understandable, Lux still did not fully understand it.
However, Kalya quite agreed with the content of his speech.
"Although he is still far from truly stepping into the door of magic, this application idea is quite good." Kalya commented, "And his direction is correct. Technology should be used to change lives... The only problem is
, this guy seems to have a little too much self-awareness.”
"What is excess self-awareness?" Lux asked with some confusion, "This description sounds weird."
"It's just narcissism." Kalya made a tut-tsk sound. "Even if he has no theorem or invention, he has prepared a way to name it. Personally, I don't hate others who are confident, but I hate someone who is narcissistic - Jess
First law, Jace's second law, doesn't he blush when he says these words?"
"According to Piltover's style, he does have the right to name these theorems, which is correct." Lux was also full of the desire to complain about this point, "But to be honest, I really feel like he looks like this.
I’m a little skeptical.”
"It's not enough to doubt his ability." Karya finally made a judgment, "But this guy needs to be watched more closely. Many people who are blinded by pride have this phenomenon in the early stages..."
In the end, Victor secretly pulled Jess and interrupted his eloquent speech.
"We don't have much time, Jace." Victor lowered his voice and said, "Don't forget, those experimental materials are still locked in the college's debris warehouse."
"Ah, yes, speaking of this, we will bring back some experimental materials tomorrow." Jess showed a big smile again, "As our initial experimental equipment, it can also be converted into our shares - it can provide us with
Do you want to prepare a place?"
"What do you think of this place?" Lux gave an answer that Jace never expected, "Compared with your laboratory, the space should be about the same?"
"This... is absolutely fine." Jace looked around carefully from a professional angle, "However, I need to confirm that there will be no inexplicable vibrations or other unstable phenomena here. The Hex Crystal is not docile. Once it is
It's exciting, and you will understand the result."
"Don't worry, absolutely not." Lux smiled, "Even if the Noxians announce their intention to annex Zaun tomorrow, this place will always remain quiet."
"I like your sense of humor, Miss Lux." Jess nodded with satisfaction, "Then, if everything goes well, see you tomorrow!"
