Without the students asking any questions, Victor took the initiative to introduce himself.

After all, this isn't the first time this has happened.

He knew that he had no reputation and no one would know him outside the laboratory.

Although he, Victor, is actually the most capable companion of the great Professor Jess and the second inventor of the core of Hex Technology.

Even more, as Jess has become more and more famous in the past few years, he has become more and more addicted to social activities in the upper class... In the subsequent application research stage of Hex Technology, Victor, the man behind the scenes, has contributed more

.

But he remains unknown.

Firstly, it is because Victor himself is introverted, does not like to socialize, and does not like to be in the limelight.

Secondly, it's because...

He is a Zaunite.

Yes, even though he has immigrated to Piltover for more than ten years and has even been hired as a professor at Piltover University, he is still a Zaun in the eyes of others.

When Piltover's public opinion machine hypes up the greatness and wonder of Hex Technology, they will always, intentionally or unintentionally, take Victor's name away from Jace——

The hero of Piltover should not come from Zaun.

Gradually, Victor became accustomed to living behind Jace's halo and engaging in scientific research in a low-key manner.

It's okay on weekdays, since he doesn't want to be famous anyway.

That is to say, in a public situation like this where he needs to appear, it is a little embarrassing - no one knows him.

So Victor took the initiative to introduce himself:

"I'm Jace's friend."

"You can call me Professor Victor."

"Professor?" The students had different expressions.

Victor knew at a glance that these children did not expect him to be a professor - he was regarded as Jace's assistant teacher again.

"Hahaha." Jess didn't feel the atmosphere was subtle at all.

Mr. Sun showed a sunny smile and jokingly patted his friend on the shoulder:

"Victor, I just told you to go out for a walk."

"Look, even the students in our college don't recognize you."

"Well..." Victor shrugged nonchalantly.

Jess turned his head and introduced to all the students:

"Professor Victor is my most important friend and a leading expert in the field of Hex Technology and mechanical engineering. It is no exaggeration to say that without his help, I would not have been able to break through the core research of Hex Technology."

"In fact, in the Hex construction machinery development research group that you are about to join - if any of you are lucky enough to be selected - I am the research team leader and Victor is the deputy leader."

Professor Jess's words finally made the students realize how extraordinary Victor was.

"It turns out he is Professor Jace's deputy!"

After being promoted from follower to deputy, Victor suddenly received a lot more respect.

However, he still looked very interested and didn't care about anything.

At this time, I saw Jess slowly walking up to the podium and leaving a line of titles on the blackboard:

""Power Flow Optimization Strategy for Energized Steam Robots", this is the question I want to test you on today."

Jess knocked on the blackboard and said to the waiting students below:

"You should treat this as a course paper, use this as the title, state the optimization strategies, design principles, and experimental steps you can think of as fully as possible, and finally submit a paper outline on site."

"Professor Victor and I will review your thesis design on site and assess and score you."

"The person with the most complete design and the best performance can join our research group and become a student of Professor Victor and I, or even President Heimerdinger."

This pie that Jess drew is so tempting.

But the students present were not as excited as before.

Because the assessment questions he gave were beyond imagination.

This topic is too big, and a thesis outline must be written on the spot. This requires too high a level of scientific research literacy on the part of the students, which is far beyond the capabilities of ordinary college students.

Even the students who can come here to take the assessment are all the best talents from Hex Institute of Technology. Many of them turned pale as soon as they heard the questions and gave up before they even started.

The few remaining ones who still had the confidence to challenge asked Jace very cautiously:

"Professor Jace...is there a time limit for this assessment?"

"How much time can you give me at most?"

Just listen to Jess's answer: "There is no time limit. You can write as long as you want. When you are done, submit it to us for review."

"But you have to know that it is Victor and I's subjective views that decide the only candidate."

"The speed with which you complete your thesis outline will directly affect our evaluation of you."

"Huh?" The students were all surprised:

It turns out that this assessment is actually a racing game?

The question was inherently difficult and required both good and fast writing. At this time, few people present had the confidence to pass it.

And Kaya Feros, the eldest lady from the Feros family, happens to be one of them:

"I understand... As long as you can complete the outline first, you can get 'extra points', right?!"

Kaya was very confident. She calmly took out an engraved gold fountain pen with the Feros family crest printed on it. Before writing, she glanced provocatively at Lina who was not far away.

And Lina was in no mood to deal with this old enemy.

She had already picked up her tilted pen and started writing nervously and attentively.

"First place, I must get first place!"

It's not to compete with some eldest lady.

Just to win your own life.

She couldn't help but think of Levi. Although her brother said that he had a way to pay back the rent, he told her not to worry. He spoke in an understatement, as if he had already planned it.

But Lina knew very well that her brother was not that easy. He was never easy.

So Kaya can lose, but she can't.

Kaya lost, but she lost the icing on the cake.

And if she loses, the brothers and sisters will still have to struggle in fear at the feet of Piltover every day, bleeding and sweating for a few pitiful pieces of black bread.

So, one minute passed, ten minutes passed, half an hour passed, and when it was close to an hour...

When most students have given up, or are still struggling with headaches:

"I finished!"

Lina stood up first.

"I finished!"

In just a few seconds, Kaya Feros also stood up.

The two people's eyes collided in mid-air, and both sides saw sparks in each other's eyes.

"Finally someone has finished it..."

"One hour is not bad."

Jace yawned and smiled at Victor next to him:

"Victor, I heard that when you passed Principal Heimerdinger's assessment, it only took you half an hour. It seems that no one can break your record this year."

"The titles of the papers are different, so there is no comparison." Victor said in a very calm tone: "And if the speed is fast, it does not necessarily mean the quality is good. We still have to make a comprehensive comparison."

"Yes." Jess smiled and looked at Lina and Kaya in the audience, and said encouragingly to the two talented girls: "Send in your thesis outline."

"Victor and I will give an objective and fair evaluation."

"Yes." Lina and Kaya nodded in unison.

They came to Jess and Victor with their respective notebooks and manuscript papers.

"Professor Jess."

"Please help me take a look!"

Kaya handed her thesis outline to Jess first.

Jace took it and saw the name: "Kaya Ferros?"

Look up again and look at Kaya’s distinctive silver-gray hair:

"Are you from the Philos family?"
