"What are you talking about so happily? Do you mind adding me?"
After checking Walker Hausman's attributes, Xia Xu walked over with a smile, like a fox preparing to steal a chicken, one glance could make people feel that he had bad intentions.
"Of course, I'm not as stingy as someone else."
Victor looked at Xia Xu, and surprisingly, he did not show any resistance or anger. Instead, he raised his eyebrows provocatively.
"Oh? So generous?"
This time it was Xia Xu's turn to be a little surprised: "Aren't you afraid that I will snatch her away again?"
"You can try it."
Victor smiled confidently.
"I'm sorry, sir, but I have decided to join Mr. Victor's research team and will not consider anyone else."
Walker Hausman also shook his head bluntly to make his position clear.
"It's okay. If you don't agree, we can still chat. I'm also a student in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, so I should be able to participate in your conversation."
Xia Xu just smiled slightly.
"Well, anyway, I've made it clear. If we're just chatting as friends, I don't think I mind."
Walker Hausman nodded. Although he looked young, his behavior was mature.
Of course, this impression only lasted for a moment.
Because soon he continued to chat with Victor, talking about topics related to mechanical design.
Mainly, he asked questions and Victor answered them, and as they went back and forth, his expression became more and more excited, and his eyes were full of admiration when he looked at Victor, looking like a little fan.
And in fact, it seems to be the case. As a quiet bystander, Xia Xu also learned a lot of information from the conversation between the two.
Walker Hausman was a child prodigy who skipped several grades to go to college, so he was really only sixteen years old.
Most importantly, he is a fan of Victor and has long regarded Victor as his admirer and goal.
It's no wonder that Victor is not afraid of poaching him. Such a young man who is like a fanatical fan cannot be poached away by simple means.
Fan worship is essentially the same as faith, both are products of subjective beliefs.
In order to change their mind, one must completely shatter the object of their faith and make them completely disappointed, or simply make them change the object of their faith.
However, neither of these points is obviously easy to achieve.
Just as it is often said that goddesses don't need to poop, people actually subconsciously beautify many things, and this is especially true for objects of faith and worship. It is extremely difficult to reshape them.
"I say, aren't you going to rob someone? Why are you just watching like this?"
After a long conversation with Walker Hausman, Victor seemed to remember Xia Xu next to him and turned to look at him: "Is this your way of snatching people? Or have you given up?"
There was a smile on his face, but the smile had gradually changed from the natural expression during his chat with Walker-Hausman to a smile that had a hint of provocation and complacency.
He hasn't forgotten what happened to Zhou Ji.
He is very generous in some things, but also very petty in some things.
Especially suffering a loss and losing face.
"Are you sure? Don't regret it if I really snatch you away."
Xia Xu looked at him with a playful expression.
"Of course, I can't wait to see you perform."
Victor smiled fearlessly.
Putting aside the fact that Walker-Hausmann was his admirer, in terms of interests and personality, Walker-Hausmann was a technology fanatic, which could be clearly felt from the fact that he kept asking himself various academic questions in an excited manner.
To such a person, promising him money, power and the like may be far less attractive than a mentor or friend.
Not only can he promise money and power, he is also the perfect mentor and friend.
"Okay, then I'll give you a show."
Xia Xu shrugged, then smiled and turned his head to look at Walker Hausman: "Walker, do you want to see something more interesting?"
"Sir, I really have no intention of joining other research groups."
Walker Houseman felt somewhat helpless, and a little apologetic and distant.
"I'm just showing you some toys. We'll talk after you're done."
Xia Xu just curled up the corners of his mouth slightly, took out the smart glasses he carried with him from his pocket and put them on.
Although Walker Hausmann is a fan of Victor, it is obvious that he is not obsessed with him.
In fact, it is basically impossible for people with truly high IQs to form a truly fanatical worship of others. The higher the IQ, the more rational they are, while worship and belief come from emotion.
Everything requires the right medicine for the right disease. Walker-Hausman's admiration for Victor stems from his skills and knowledge. If he wants to impress him, he naturally has to come up with something that can make him more interested.
“Smart glasses? AR or VR?”
Seeing Xia Xu's actions and identifying the object based on its appearance, Walker and Victor immediately guessed what it was.
The two were slightly surprised, but that was all.
The surprise only came from the fact that Xia Xu could come up with smart glasses. After all, this thing is basically a conceptual product at present. Not to mention popularization, there are not many institutions that actually conduct research.
But to say that the technology is difficult, it is not really that difficult. They just haven't tried it. If they really have an idea, they think they can work it out.
Walker Houseman was surprised but then turned to disappointment and indifference, while Victor sneered mercilessly: "That's it?"
"Of course not, wait two minutes."
Xia Xu responded to the two of them while chuckling as he operated.
Brainwave control mode activated!
Currently registered units: Venom Chariot 01; Arachnid Predator 01; Arachnid Predator 02…
Switched to remote vehicle control, establishing link with [Venom Tank 01], link completed.
The scene in the field of vision quickly switched to a perspective that seemed like that of a vehicle's driver's seat, and the scene in front was facing the gate of a college.
Wuwu! Wuwu!
After a moment, the exciting and unavoidable roar of the engine resounded throughout the campus.
A black supercar was speeding recklessly on the road, leaving behind an afterimage at its speed, but it was as nimble as a fish, easily avoiding pedestrians and obstacles along the way, and finally making a beautiful tailspin drift and stopping suddenly on the side of the Science and Technology Museum.
"Fuck, where did this rich second generation come from? He's racing cars in school. Do he have any sense of public morality?"
"Wow, what a cool car, what brand is it?"
Such an appearance, coupled with the deafening roar and cool appearance, naturally attracted the attention of everyone present. There were already many people here, and it immediately caused a stir.
"Huh? Which company released this new model?"
Even Victor was attracted by it. Sports cars and racing cars were his favorites, especially the car in front of him, which looked so cool and he had never seen one before.
"Fuck, there's no one in the car!"
"Nimma, is it haunted during the day?"
Soon, after the black supercar stopped, someone noticed something strange.
There was no one in the driver's seat!
No, to be precise, there was no one in the entire car!
Recently, all kinds of strange news and happenings have been making the rounds, and their first reaction was that they were weird.
“It’s just driverless technology. It’s good, but that’s it.”
The Venom Supercar happened to stop in front of Victor's booth, so he guessed that this might be Xia Xu's masterpiece. He was a little surprised, but still made an expression of "that's it?"
“This is not driverless.”
Xia Xu smiled slightly.
Card!
Two storage compartments suddenly extended from both sides of the Venom supercar, and four spider-like predators suddenly ejected.
It rolled for a distance on the ground, and then the metal sphere spread its spider legs and quickly turned into four mechanical spiders, moving in an orderly manner in four directions.
laugh!
Hiss, hiss, hiss!
The sound of spraying was heard, and before Victor could react, the mechanical spider had already accurately sprayed out four rope claws, just enough to grab his limbs.
"Fuck, what the hell! What do you want to do?"
Victor was startled and his expression changed slightly.
"Didn't we agree to invite you to watch the performance? You are honored to be chosen as the lucky audience member to cooperate with the performance."
Xia Xu smiled and snapped his fingers, and the spider-like predators immediately tightened the ropes in coordination, flattening Victor into a large letter shape, half floating in the air several dozen centimeters above the ground.
"What the hell!?"
"robot?"
"Aliens invaded the Earth?"
"Are aliens here to kidnap Victor?"
It’s a long story, but all the sudden changes happened in a flash, and it scared everyone around them.
After all, a car with no one in it and driving automatically suddenly appeared, and then a group of spider-like robots jumped out of the car and attacked. This scene was too surreal even after being baptized by the science and technology museum.
Aren't robots still at the stage of toddlers? How come even obvious combat robots are appearing now
And how can this thing be so flexible? Its behavior is so agile and coordinated, just like an elite team of real people. How outrageous is its intelligence
