"Seriously, how exactly did you get into the International Scientific Research University?"
Compared to his joking manner earlier, Xia Xu had clearly grown serious now.
A new talent had actually appeared on Grant's status panel!
This was absolutely unprecedented, and it was crucial to him.
If Grant could acquire a new talent this way, that naturally meant he could too.
He could see through other people's talents at a glance, but precisely because of that, he understood the difference between having talent and having none all the better.
Those without talent could only spend their entire lives accomplishing little, while anyone whose talent appeared on the status panel-even if it was only one-star-would achieve twice the results with half the effort in the relevant field, as though aided by divine intervention.
That went doubly for someone with a five-star talent like Uncle Luo, who had literally trained himself beyond ordinary human limits. He was even far stronger than artificial biological weapons like werewolves, or supernatural protagonists like Yao Fu and Pan Long. Those with low-star talents would probably never reach his level in their lifetimes.
"I'm not joking. I really did just suddenly discover that I had a strong talent for mechanical design."
Seeing Xia Xu's attitude, Grant grew a little more serious too, but could still only shrug. "Maybe it just went unnoticed before. It's all those damned werewolves' fault. They made a supergenius like me drop out so early and nearly caused an enormous loss to world science."
"Then have you had any unusual experiences lately? Or noticed anything strange? Or tell me how you came to the university, and what you came here for."
Xia Xu frowned slightly, ignoring Grant's narcissism.
There was absolutely no way Grant had possessed some previously undiscovered talent for mechanical engineering. No
