"You have made a choice that you will regret for the rest of your life. I hope you really won't regret it."
After losing the game inexplicably, Victor left with a sour look on his face.
In fact, it is not accurate to say that he left. He did not go far. Instead, he and two girls set up a booth to recruit new members diagonally opposite Xia Xu and his friends.
Originally, he had no interest in this kind of thing and could have handed it over to his subordinates. However, after being rejected by Xia Xu, he changed his mind, or perhaps he became a little competitive and stayed here in person.
"Now we can continue talking about our business."
After successfully taking away his competitor with one move, Xia Xu continued to look at his target with a smile on his face.
"What you just said..."
Zhou Ji glanced at the girl next to him as if he was guilty of something, and hesitated to speak.
"easy."
Xia Xu understood immediately and smiled confidently.
"real?"
Zhou Ji's eyes lit up at first, but then he became a little suspicious.
After all, I, your childhood sweetheart, don’t have confidence, so why should a stranger be so confident
"What kind of charades are you guys talking about?"
Jiang Yuanyuan, who was standing by, was listening to the two people's inexplicable conversation and interrupted out of curiosity.
"Do you know why Zhou Ji rejected Victor?"
Xia Xu smiled mysteriously.
Jiang Yuanyuan subconsciously asked back: "Why?"
At this moment, Zhou Ji seemed to have understood what Xia Xu wanted to do, and he was anxious and wanted to stop him.
Unfortunately, actions speak faster than words, and Xia Xu had already spoken.
"Because I told him that I could help him get you, and Victor would probably steal you away."
Xia Xu smiled, with a hint of anticipation for a good show, and observed with interest the changes in the two people's expressions at that moment.
These two people have been childhood sweethearts and have a crush on each other, but there is just that layer of window paper that has not been broken through. The closer the relationship, the harder it is to speak up.
"Don't talk nonsense, Yuanyuan, I..."
Zhou Ji hurriedly wanted to explain.
"Are you stupid? Can't you see that I'm already so shy and timid? There's no point in explaining. Just go and hug me."
Xia Xu slapped him on the forehead in annoyance and pushed him again.
"ah?"
Zhou Ji looked at Xia Xu, then at Jiang Yuanyuan, and saw that there was indeed no anger on their faces. Instead, they looked shy.
After being pushed by Xia Xu again, he just went with the flow and hugged her cautiously and tentatively.
No struggle.
There was even a small movement of leaning towards his chest.
One is shy, the other is grinning, and the disgusting aura of dog food begins to spread.
"I have fulfilled the conditions I promised you. From now on, both of you will have to work for me."
Xia Xu slammed the two application forms for joining the group on the table at an inappropriate time.
We are the ones who show off our love, how can we just sit and watch others show off their love in front of us
"Hey, okay."
Zhou Ji chuckled twice, feeling complacent and a little embarrassed, and filled out the application form very quickly.
"So I'm the one who suffers the most. I was sold by you and I have to sell my labor force back, right? I think you will definitely be a black-hearted capitalist in the future."
Jiang Yuanyuan, who was standing by, also started filling out the form, complaining jokingly.
Her talent is not bad either, with two three-star talents in power engineering and mechanical engineering. After all, she is a student of the University of Science and Technology of China, and each of them is a gifted child.
"Then you have a really good eye for people."
Xia Xu gave a thumbs up in approval and said, "This black-hearted capitalist is going to exploit the labor force now. You two should stay and recruit new people with me."
"I suddenly feel that what Victor said just now is quite right. I regret it a little bit now."
Zhou Ji also started joking, looking as if he wanted to cry but had no tears.
However, the two of them didn't have anything else to do, so they just stayed.
It just so happened that only Xia Xu came today to recruit new members, so having two people join him could help out. Besides, he has a class later, so Zhou Ji and Jiang Yuanyuan could take over temporarily.
Zhang Meng, Lu Dong and others were sent to handle the application process for the laboratory and activity venue. Grant was just a figurehead. Apart from attending classes, he was basically elusive. He should be investigating the werewolf.
Most of the day passed like this, and in the morning, apart from Zhou Ji, the rest of the harvest was very little.
There are many two- and three-star talents in the University of Science and Technology of China, but four-star talents are already a small group at the top of the pyramid in each industry. They are not common, and are very rare even here.
Not only Xia Xu, but even Victor didn't gain anything either.
Although he did not have Xia Xu's ability to see through the attribute panel at a glance, his own talent and knowledge were there. Through some communication, he could also estimate the talents of students in related majors to a high degree.
But because of this, his vision is even more discerning than Xia Xu's. It is a pride that comes from the heart, and ordinary two or three-star figures are simply not worth his attention.
As time went on, his face became more and more sour.
Xia Xu at least still has a guaranteed weekly bonus, so even if he can't recruit anyone today, it won't be a loss. He hasn't gained anything yet, and even suffered a setback from Xia Xu. Now is the time for him to compete secretly.
“Huh.”
In the afternoon, Xia Xu took time out to attend two classes.
When I arrived at the recruitment booth near the Science and Technology Museum again, I saw that Victor's booth diagonally opposite seemed to be about to open, and he was chatting happily with a teenager.
The boy was also a blond white man, and he really was just a 'boy'.
Even compared with the freshmen who had just graduated from high school, he seemed a little young, probably no more than fifteen or sixteen years old. It was rather strange for him to appear in the University of Science and Technology of China.
"This time it's my turn to poach people."
Xia Xu smiled playfully.
Victor was able to intervene in Zhou Ji's affairs so forcefully that he naturally wouldn't be polite to the other party.
But as usual, I checked the boy's attributes first.
Name: Walker Houseman
Life Level: 1
Fate potential: [Protagonist: "Mechanic"]
Talent potential: Mechanical Engineering (4 stars); Weapon Engineering (4 stars)
Special: None
Obsession: None
Favorability: 0
"Double four-stars? And they're the protagonists of another plot?"
Xia Xu's eyes lit up.
Double four-stars are countless times rarer than a single four-star talent.
He was already very familiar with mechanical engineering, but weapons engineering was not common. This major was related to the study of a series of modern weapons such as thermal weapons, ammunition ballistics, etc.
This is a genuine military talent. If we can recruit him, we can use him to research our own combat equipment, and it will also play a vital role for Xinghai Industry to enter the military market.
And most importantly, the protagonist!
Another protagonist of a plot.
"The Mechanic", as soon as you hear this name that seems to be common but is actually quite high-end, you know that its gold content is definitely not bad. It may be another superhero plot full of black technology.
