Chapter 20 Pride and Prejudice
Jace and Viktor, two of the most intellectually intelligent people in Piltover and Zaun, were once partners. This was something that everyone in the older generation knew. It was precisely with this in mind that Stanwyck thought of this.
Let Jace play the friendship card.
He sent out many people to investigate the situation, but all failed, but they all said that they were blocked by a strange wind, which attracted Stanwyck's attention.
His intuition told him: the storm aggregator might really exist.
If Jace could see the real thing, with his IQ, he would definitely be able to copy Victor's invention in no time. Then Stanwyck would be able to enjoy the fruits of his labor and pry it out of Jace's mouth. This would be comparable to inventing a weather-grade weapon.
It's too easy.
People with excellent IQs often don't have very high emotional intelligence.
If Jace does not succeed, it will have no impact on him. He has no direct contact with Victor. Even if Victor does develop the storm aggregator, it will not be his turn to take revenge on Piltover for the time being. Jace is no better than him.
Are there too many people to hate? If the sky falls, there will be someone taller to hold it up, and that person can only be Jace.
…
Following the map provided by Stanwyck, Jess came to the door of Victor's laboratory, but the door was locked. He didn't know what Victor was doing inside, so he shouted.
"anyone there?"
No one responded, but Jace heard the sound of the machine working.
"Victor, are you in there?"
Still no one responded, the green poisonous mist obscured his sight, and he could not see what was going on inside.
There are many explosive devices placed in Jace's laboratory, all of which can easily blast through the rusty iron door in front of him, but he didn't bring any of them today.
But don't think that this will stop him. With just a multi-functional tool, he can create a key on the spot, or a bolt cutter to cut off the obstructive lock.
"Why didn't I add a bolt cutter function to the multi-tool?" Jess took out the multi-function tool he carried with him and prepared to build a bolt cutter on site.
"What do you want to do here?"
A cold voice came from the laboratory and entered his ears clearly. The tone of the voice was so low and gentle that it was almost impossible to hear that he was asking a question.
"Who is speaking?"
Jace stopped what he was doing and looked around. Soon he found an inconspicuous piece of glass in the corner of the window, which was actually a set of reflective lenses. He put his eyes toward the lenses, but he only saw pitch black.
"I'm Victor."
The voice sounded again.
"No! This is not Viktor's voice. Are you... Blitzkrieg Two?" The voice Jace heard was a little strange... it was just like the tape sound made by a robot, without any emotion, but
The other party was able to communicate with him simply, which reminded him of Blitzcrank.
Combining the two, he thought that Victor had created another artificial intelligence similar to Blitzcrank.
"More than ten years can change many things, but your stupidity has not changed at all."
"Stupid? Only Victor dares to say that to me, but I want to correct one thing. Please replace the word stupid with handsome."
Seeing that the other party was silent, Jace showed a proud smile.
"Victor, what's wrong with your voice? Do you have a cold?"
"This has nothing to do with you. If you have something to say, just tell me."
"Hey! What's your attitude? An old friend you haven't seen for many years is here. Shouldn't you invite me inside for a drink? Just leave me outside like this? Although I am very interested in the anise flavor you made by mixing pig donkey fat and milk powder.
The cheap drinks are not interesting at all."
Jace's face was arrogant and he said impatiently.
"I do not have friends."
"It seems that I misunderstood." Jess said with a sullen look on his face: "I ask you, why did you issue a false statement? The storm aggregator cannot be built at all with the current level of technology."
"No comment."
"Did you release false news to intimidate the association or to raise your status? Have you made any new discoveries? You can definitely tell it. As long as it has that value, you can be admitted to Piltover again.
There are state-of-the-art laboratories waiting for you there, instead of sitting in this abandoned factory with no future."
Jess lay on the iron door and kept beating hard, his patience was about to be worn away.
"You can go, there is nothing left to talk about between us."
The cold mechanical sound came again, completely igniting Jace's anger.
The multifunctional tool in his hand quickly transformed into a hammer and slammed into the iron door. The rusty iron door deformed under the angry blow and let out a squeaking scream.
call!
A strange wind suddenly rose up, rolling up a pile of sharp gravel and hitting Jace's transparent mask.
Crackling!
There was a sound of intensive collisions, and Jace found that there was a scratch on his mask.
Janna was a little surprised. She didn't expect that this seemingly fragile transparent mask could be so hard. She immediately activated the airflow to condense together, forming a high-density air arm that swept towards Jace.
Jace took the blow firmly and rolled around on the ground several times, his head bruised and bleeding, but his handsome face was not harmed under the protection of the mask.
He stood up unsteadily, with a look of surprise on his face.
What did he see? A green physical arm? He didn't remember what kind of magic Victor knew. Magic requires talent, but he knew that neither of them had this talent.
The magic was not unleashed by Victor!
For a moment, he almost believed in the existence of the storm aggregator, but when he thought about it carefully, it was impossible for such a large weather weapon to achieve such fine airflow control.
Jace was not surprised that Victor would do something to him. They had often quarreled and even fought because of their personality differences in the past. Jace's arrogance and genius were well known to everyone in the academic world, and almost no one could stand him.
character.
This time, he just wanted to provoke Victor to come out to fight, Pride and Prejudice, and perform the show, so that he could take the opportunity to see what was going on in the laboratory. But what he didn't expect was that Victor didn't follow the routine and kept hiding in the laboratory.
Instead of coming out, he used a method unknown to him to use magic to attack him from a distance, and he didn't even see Victor's people.
What did Victor go through? Jess didn't know. He only knew that he was really angry this time, but he didn't give up thinking. He weighed it and realized that he had no chance of defeating Victor now. There might still be something hidden in the laboratory.
A spellcaster, so Jace left in silence.
"Just go back to Stanwyck and tell him clearly that the Storm Aggregator does not exist. Once you understand the Shurima Crystal, you can come to Victor to settle the score."
Jace made a mental note of this account.
After Jace left, Victor thanked Janna. He didn't want Jace to come in because he knew that Jace would definitely take drastic action when he saw the miserable condition of the patients in the laboratory.
In a fight, it is easy to accidentally injure these defenseless patients.
But Janna said to him:
Chapter completed!
