In a daze, Oriana entered the dance floor without even asking the other party's name.

However, this is exactly what Oriana wants. After all, according to politeness, since you have come to the dance party, you have to dance at least one dance, otherwise you will be rude. If this person hadn't invited me, I'm afraid I would have really gone up alone to dance solo.

That's embarrassing.

As a dance enthusiast, Oriana's dancing skills are quite good - on the contrary, this guy who is full of confidence and takes the initiative to invite Oriana can only be busy on the dance floor...

Fortunately, with Oriana's careful guidance, he would not have made a fool of himself on the dance floor. After the song ended, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and pulled Oriana away quickly, as if he had completed some task.

After leaving the dance floor, Oriana, who had not figured out the situation, found that many people seemed to be paying attention to the person who invited her to dance, and her words were quite ridiculous.

What's going on?

Orianna didn't know—but she didn't mean to inquire in detail. She was a girl with a strong curiosity, but it was never the same as having a strong curiosity and a strong gossip. Compared to the gossip news about Picheng and Zuan, she cared more about the special art style of this auditorium.

Blue bird pendant, boat dome, crystal chandeliers, marble tiles with special patterns...

This auditorium combines the beautiful sides of Zuan and Picheng well. Although it does not have the neon style of red and green, and the unique dyeing and hot coloring characteristics, many places can still make people feel the existence of "Zuan".

So much so that Oriana, who "completed the dance mission", simply carried a drink, wandering between the crowd like a swimming fish, carefully observing the style characteristics of this building...

Others come to dance for sociable and dancing, but Oriana is better. She clearly came here to visit for free!

………………………………………

Orianna was easy to say, after dancing a dance, she was light and had nothing to do.

But the person who invited her to dance was still a little nervous - the person who took the initiative to invite Oriana to dance was called Jace.

That's the Jace we know.

Originally, because of "saving the innocent Picheng people", Jace was awarded the title of "Guardian of the Future" and became a very famous decent person. He also had some capital in Picheng. Even his personal laboratory received financial support from Picheng Chamber of Commerce. Everything seemed to be developing in a good direction.

However, with the arrival of Yasuo and the trade between Picheng and Ionia began, things quickly took a sharp turn for the worse.

Victor's salted fish turned over.

The Guardian of the Future itself was on Victor's throne, and Jace was able to gain reputation purely because he was pushed to be a shield - when Victor was studying, many inventions and creations were swallowed by his mentors, and as long as Victor was labeled as an "evil free will manipulator", these embezzlements would no longer be a problem.

As for Jace...

In the eyes of the scholars in Picheng, Jace is just a pig.

Jace, who simply relied on funding to carry out research, did not focus on the accumulation of personal resources. In this way, if he really had any important success, the funder could easily kick him away...

In the eyes of many people, Piltwolf is a city of science and a city of progress.

But in fact, this city should be called the "City of Capital" - although Jace has mastered a lot of advanced technology and has created a lot of interesting things by relying on the crystals he snatched from Victor in his hand, he obviously did not realize that he actually did not have any substantial capital.

So, when Victor salted fish turned over and became an important figure in the trade between Piltwolf and Ionia by relying on the invention of the filter, Jace, who was originally famous, suddenly became unlucky.

The lab funds were cut off.

Or... the professor who offended Victor was killed directly by Jia Gu.

Without the sponsor, Jace naturally wanted to change the sponsor - but unfortunately, the big merchants in Picheng are all well-informed people, who doesn’t know the grudge between this guy and Victor?

Although merchants never give up on morality, this does not prevent them from standing on the commanding heights of morality and despising Jace "betrays his friends."

In this way, Jace lost his always-off sponsorship and had no new sponsorship.

This is a fatal problem for Jace, who is used to spending money on experiments with big things!

Before, everything seemed to be a little too smooth. With a huge reputation, Jace really thought that "no one in the world knows you", so he never thought about using private laboratories to obtain practical technology and accumulate capital.

During the period of funding, Jace still gained a lot, but these gains are all too cutting-edge and there is no profit at all. Even if he applies for a patent and takes the initiative to sell the patent in full, he will not be able to exchange for much money!

But the laboratory has not stopped working yet...

Because as long as the laboratory is shut down, many of Jace's previous tasks will be scrapped, and he can't afford this loss at all!

In pain, Jace could only sell his previous series of patents at a low price like he was selling his children—even some of the core patents made by his warhammer and cannon.

However, under the deliberate price reduction, Jace's patent failed to sell a huge sum of money.

In order to continue to maintain the work in the laboratory, Jace also tried to invest the money to make money.

Unfortunately, Jace, who is extremely talented in Hex Technology, knows nothing about investment. Amid the praise of many entrepreneurs, he gritted his teeth and threw out Jinhex, who had obtained from selling his patents.

As a result, one company invested by Jace was calculated, and the final result was almost all bankruptcy liquidation. The entrepreneur reasonably injected the invested funds into his other hand through "business transactions", and then allowed the company that became an empty shell to go bankrupt and liquidate smoothly. As a result, Jace, as an investor, lost all his money...

To this day, Jess' cannon patent has almost been sold out, and the Warhammer patent has been sold out for more than half. Even due to the price, a considerable portion of it has been sold to Ionia.

Just at the end of last year, the Picheng Guards had formed a special cannon squad. Although the energy cannons in this squad are not as powerful as those of Jess' original version, their practicality and attack power are far more practical and aggressive than gunpowder weapons...
