LOL: The days of cultivating immortals in Rune Continent

Chapter 107: Jace's Reflection

In the following period of time, Jayce officially began to study Hextech technology in Zaun. However, even with the equipment and resources provided by Hilco, Zaun was still far behind the experimental environment of Piltover University.

Because Zuan lacks too many experimental equipment!

And Jace was also very angry about this matter.

But maybe it was because the Hextech explosion incident made him grow up. Even if Jayce was angry, he would keep it to himself instead of having an outburst. Or maybe it was because this was Zaun, and Jayce knew that when he was angry, except for Victor who would comfort him, no one else would pay attention to him.
Just like when he first met Bakugo, Jace was so angry that he started cursing, saying that Bakugo was the thief who stole his things. Faced with this scene, Rowan didn't say anything, Victor didn't say anything, but Hilco was unhappy.

He didn't like Vandall and his two troublesome daughters, but that didn't mean a Piltover man could come to his territory and curse a Zaun man in front of him.

Besides, what would it matter if Vander's daughter was bullied by him?

So, Hilco just clapped his hands, and then a group of big men surrounded Jace, surrounding him in three layers, which scared Jace so much that he quickly apologized.

This is Zaun, and he sneaked down from the upper city. If he was killed by the people of Zaun and thrown into the stinking ditch, no one would notice him at all.

Then, Jace understood one thing. He was no longer the inventor sponsored by the Gilaman family. Now he was a poor wretch who was using other people's money.

But soon, Jace discovered something else.

One thing that changed his view of the people of Zaun.

That is, although this "laboratory" lacks a lot of experimental equipment, as long as he asks for something, the Zaun people will make the equipment for him in their own way. Although it looks tattered and will break if touched, it is really usable.

This inevitably surprised Jace.

How did the people of Zaun do it?
After enduring for a few days, Jayce finally couldn't help but ask Viktor, and then Viktor offered to take him to Zaun for a visit.

"The Upper City has its own way of life, and the Lower City has its own way of survival, Jace."

"We are indeed poor, but that doesn't mean we are lazy and only know how to steal and rob."

"In Zaun, everyone tries their best to survive. There is a spirit and ability here that Piltover doesn't have. If I were to say, I think it's hands-on ability. Every Zaun person is a great handicraft master, because we need to constantly modify ourselves to adapt to the environment here. We need to put in a lot of effort to get the resources to survive."

There is one thing Victor didn't say, and that is, these are resources that you don't value.

Walking on the road in Zaun, Viktor and Jayce talked a lot.

It was also the first time that Jayce saw the real Underworld with his own eyes instead of hearing it. All along, Jayce's perception of Underworld came from books and other people's words. The Zaun he knew was the Zaun that had been exaggerated by others. This time when he really saw Zaun, Jayce saw a lot of things.

The first is poverty. The people of Zaun are really poor, so poor that their streets are dirty, with dirt and sewage everywhere. The second is chaos. There are many street gangs in Zaun. Jayce can see ferocious guys everywhere he looks. They even fight each other in the streets.

But, Jayce also saw the hands-on ability that Viktor mentioned.

A seven-year-old could assemble things from found scraps, a pulley that even Jace couldn't figure out how it worked, and a gun made from discarded rivets.

When Victor brought Jayce back to the warehouse, Jayce was still silent, and Victor didn't say anything either. He continued to study Hextech with Jayce.

And what about Jess?

He found that he had made too many mistakes in the past, and he suddenly thought, what if, his identity was swapped with Viktor's, Viktor was a Piltover man, and he was a Zaun man. Then, would he have the achievements that Viktor has today?
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 Viktor? When he was a Piltover person, would he directly hate the people of Zaun?

Victor: No.

He is really a very nice person.

Walking on the streets of Zaun made Jayce understand a lot of things.

A big reason why Zaun has the current environment is because of Piltover. The gurgling sounds of the water pipes connected to the Dance Corridor all the time are proof of this.

Toxic gas and wastewater squeezed the living space of Zaun people. The lack of resources prevented Zaun from rising. In addition, the high-handed inaction of the parliamentarians
On this day, Jayce's movements as he picked up the hammer slowed down a bit. He no longer had the idea of ​​"I want to complete the Hextech technology immediately and then leave this damn place". Instead, he planned to calm down and study the Hextech technology while taking a look at the city of Zaun.

Late at night, Viktor went back, and Jayce was left in the abandoned factory. Now Jayce was sitting in this place. After all, he couldn't go back to Piltover now. Although the people of Piltover could go to the Dance Corridor at will, Jayce couldn't. Now his file had been recorded in the Law Enforcement Bureau, and the congressmen also knew him. His travel back and forth between Zaun and Piltover would attract the attention of the congressmen.

So Jayce went back, picked up his tools and necessary books, and then came to Zaun.

And now, as Jace was reading the book, he heard a voice.

It was the voice of a little girl.

"Hey."

Then, there was a man's voice.

When Jace heard the voice, he shrank his neck. In this place, the only thing Jace was afraid of was this man.

The owner of the factory, the Zaun gangster, Hilco.

A man who is so cold and indifferent!
"Little guy, what do you want to see me for?"

"I want to go to the bathroom, but I'm scared to be alone."

"Where's your sister?" Jace heard Hilco say.

"Wei fell asleep. I called her, but she didn't wake 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 about half a minute. Jace felt a little depressed. Then, he heard Hilco's voice again.

"Hey, come this way, I'll help you turn on the light."

Jace, lying on the bed, opened his eyes wide, then he slapped himself.

His prejudice against Zaun is too deep.
