Chapter 107: Jace's Reflection
In the following period, Jess also officially began to study Hex Technology in Zaun. However, even with Hilko providing equipment and resources, compared with the experimental environment of Piltover University, Zaun was still Too bad.
Because Zu An lacks too much experimental equipment!
And Jace was quite angry because of this incident.
But maybe it's because the Hex explosion made him grow up. Even if Jace is angry, he's still depressed in his heart instead of having a direct attack. Or maybe it's because this is Zaun, and Jace knows Except for Victor who would coax him when he was angry, everyone else would ignore him.
Just like when he first met Bao Bao, Jace was so angry that he yelled, saying that Bao Bao was the thief who stole his things. Faced with this scene, Rowan didn't speak, Victor didn't speak, and Hilko But he was not happy anymore.
He didn't like Fander and his two troublesome daughters, but that didn't mean that a Piltover could come to his territory and scold a Zaun in front of him.
Moreover, if Fandel's daughter was bullied by him, what would it be like?
So, Hilko just clapped his hands, and then a group of big men surrounded Jace, three floors inside and three floors outside. Jace was so frightened that he quickly apologized.
This was Zu An. He had sneaked down from the upper city. If the Zu An people killed him and threw him into a stinking ditch, no one would find him at all.
As a result, Jess understood a truth. He was no longer an inventor sponsored by the Gila Mann family. Now he was a poor man who was using someone else's place.
But soon, Jess discovered something else.
One thing that changed his view of the Zaun people.
That is, although this "research laboratory" lacks a lot of experimental equipment, as long as he asks for something he needs, the Zaun people will use their own way to create the equipment for him. Although it looks shabby in appearance, It looks like it will break if you touch it, but don't tell me, it really works.
And this made Jess a little surprised.
How did the Zaun do it?
After enduring it for a few days, Jace finally couldn't help but ask Victor, and then Victor offered to take him to Zaun for a walk.
"Uptown has an uptown lifestyle, and bottomtown has a bottomtown lifestyle, Jace."
"We are indeed poor, but this does not mean that we are lazy and only do stealing and robbing."
"In Zaun, everyone is trying their best to survive. There is a spirit and ability here that Piltover does not have. If I say it, I think it is hands-on ability. Every Zaun person is powerful. We are masters of craftsmanship, because we need to constantly modify ourselves to adapt to the environment here, and we need to put in a lot of effort to get the resources to survive.”
There is one thing that Victor did not say, that is, the resources that you look down upon.
Walking on the road to Zaun, Victor and Jace talked a lot.
For the first time, Jace saw the real Under City with his own eyes instead of listening to it. All along, Jace’s sense of the Under City came from books and other people’s words. What he knew about Zaan was all It was after Zaun who was made jealous by others, but this time he really met Zuan, Jace saw a lot of things.
The first one is poverty. The people of Zaun are really poor. They are so poor that their streets are filthy with filth and wastewater everywhere. The second one is chaos. There are street gangs in Zaun. Every time Jace sees it, You can see vicious guys everywhere, and they even fight each other on the street.
However, Jace also saw the practical ability Victor said.
A seven-year-old child can build things out of found scraps, a pulley that even Jace can't figure out how to work, and a gun built from discarded rivets.
When Victor brought Jace back to the warehouse, Jace was still silent, and Victor didn't say anything, and then he and Jace studied Hex technology.
And what about Jace?
He found that he had made too many mistakes in the past. He suddenly thought, if, if his and Victor's identities were exchanged, Victor was a Piltover and he was a Zaun. Then, he would have what Victor is today. Achievement?
If he lived in such an environment where he would die if he didn't fight, would he also look at the people of Piltover with hatred?
And what about Victor? Would he have directly hated the Zaunites when he was a Piltover?
Victor. No.
He's a really nice guy.
Walking on the streets of Zaun made Jace understand a lot of things.
The main reason why Zaun has the current environment is because of Piltover. The water pipes connected to the Dance Corridor and the gurgling sounds that are ringing all the time all prove this.
Toxic gas and wastewater have squeezed the living space of the Zaun people. The lack of resources has prevented Zaun from rising, coupled with the inaction of the congressmen.
On this day, Jace picked up the hammer and hit it a little slower. He no longer had the idea of complete Hex technology immediately and leave this hellish place. Instead, he planned to calm down and study the sea. Xx Technology, aside. Take a look at the city of Zaun.
Late at night, Victor went back, and Jayce was left in the abandoned factory. Jayce sat there now. After all, he couldn't go back to Piltover now. Although people in Piltover could go to the dance hallway at will, Jayce couldn't. His file had been recorded in the Law Enforcement Bureau, and the councilors knew him. He would attract the attention of the councilors if he walked back and forth between Zaun and Piltover.
Therefore, Jayce went back once, took his tools and the books he needed, and then came to Zaun.
And now, Jayce was reading a book and heard a voice.
It was the voice of a little girl.
"Hello."
Then, it was a man's voice.
Jayce shrank his neck when he heard the voice. In this place, the only thing Jayce was afraid of was this man.
The owner of the factory, the gangster of Zaun, Hilco.
A cold and unbelievable man!
"Little guy, what are you looking for me for?"
"I want to go to the bathroom, but I'm scared to be alone."
"Where's your sister?" Jayce heard Hilco say.
"Wei fell asleep. I called her, but she didn't get up."
"But do you think I'm someone who would be willing to help you? I say, you've got the wrong person."
Then, there was a silence that lasted for half a minute. Jayce felt a little depressed, and then he heard Hilco's voice again.
"Hey, come this way. I'll turn on the light for you."
Jace, lying on the bed, opened his eyes wide, and then he slapped himself.
His prejudice against Zaun was too deep.
